Back in February, Red Winter Software released Dungelot 2 (Free), the highly-anticipated follow-up to last year’s well-recieved Minesweeper-meets-dungeon-crawler Dungelot. Well, the Dungelot 2 release did not go so well, and that’s putting it lightly. The new game had a lot of strange bugs, wasn’t balanced very well, and in general garnered quite a lot of negative feedback in our forums.

Now, that type of scenario isn’t uncommon on the App Store, and generally a developer will go into overdrive tweaking the game and releasing an update as quickly as possible that fixes the stuff that’s wrong, and just cross their fingers that the initial negative reaction doesn’t impact the game long-term. Well, Red Winter felt so poorly about the state of Dungelot 2 that they actually pulled the game from sale just a couple days later, and have spent the last few months toiling away at a new version. And today, that updated version of Dungelot 2 is finally available. Huzzah!

Now, this updated Dungelot 2 is a pretty massive overhaul, and you can check out this post from the developer in our forums for a breakdown of what’s changed. Also, just as an FYI, if you were one of those who were able to download Dungelot 2 the first time around and bought the “Golden Ham" IAP which essentially turned off most of the freemium-ness of the game, you should be able to restore that IAP in this new version, as it’s not a consumable item. If you missed it when it was released back in February, definitely give this latest version of Dungelot 2 a download and check it out for yourself. It’s free after all, and be sure to leave your thoughts in the discussion thread in our forums.
