I don't want to download it only to have to re-download it when the impending update comes out. Has it been updated yet?

I bet it gets a ton of downloads now... Another game (like Enigmo) that I was on the fence about, and this will finally tip me over to the "buy" side! I bet it gets a ton of downloads now…

It's only 5 euros here. ;) Yeah, I know that's more than $6, but it feels like less. Then again you have to calculate the 19% sales tax (ahem, "value added tax") here in Germany. bah I just bought it too!

Maybe more--it could be every bit the game that a $25 shareware game is, and I can play it more places! That said, I do prefer free :) And this game probably falls somewhere in the middle of the pack If a game is fun and has a lot of content and depth, it's worth $10 to me.

I was one who moaned about the price and as its been dropped I've bought it. Its quite good. The thing is how are developers supposed to bring price drops to peoples attention? once an app has slid off the new releases page in the app store the only way back to the top is with an update as far as I can tell. It's fine for us as good sites like this keep us informed but I'm sure many apps have had price drops which have gone completely unnoticed.

I just ordered it and am downloading as I type, though won't be able to try it out until later today. It's finally showing as $5.99 on the application page, at least in the AppStore app version.
