We posted about the release date a few days ago, but Blocky Farm (Free) was mysteriously absent from last night’s new games roundup as we had yet to find it anywhere on the App Store. Well, following the old adage “Better late than never," Blocky Farm hit the App Store early this morning. We’ve already got a vibrant thread in our forums, and people seem to be enjoying the game quite a bit- Which I suppose isn’t much of a surprise considering forum members helped beta test it.
It seems reasonable to assume that Blocky Farm is the closest thing we’re going to get to Stardew Valley on the App Store. At least in my first session, it plays fairly similarly, but I’m working hard on getting farther in Blocky Farm to see whether or not it has the same endless pit of depth that Stardew has. Blocky Farm was in development forever, and it’s pretty obvious how much love and care went into this game when you play it.
Definitely grab this one if you’re looking to have your farming game itch scratched to a ridiculous extent.
Why do they do this? A new release that's only been out for 6 weeks. I bought it the second week at 5 and was perfectly happy. Now I feel like a jerk because I overspent. It's only 2 bucks, but does anyone know what I mean? Why didn't they just release it at 3 in the first place?
My gues is that despite being a great value at $5, after 6 weeks interest wanes & downloads drop off. Put it on sale for a week and things pick back up a bit. I wouldn't be surprised to see new levels &/or heroes drop in another 6 weeks or so.
I wouldn't feel like a jerk; at $5 you got way more entertainment bang for your buck then a lot of the options out there.
New levels coming on 9th november!
I agree with you that it feels bad, but we got to get the game first. I wish they'd give us that paid a little more at the beginning a break by giving us some DLC for free or reduced cost. It has only been 6 weeks. Then again, it's a developer that I want to support with my $$$.
A list of this "slew of brilliant price reductions on the app store" should be compiled, unless it has and I've missed it. I haven't seen many price drops aside from this and Dungeon Rushers.
Hmmm, so every time something's like 2.99USD it's actually 3.49EUR? Apple is out of control, this is close to 30% more cost, and I frankly see little justification for it. Gonna have to be more judicious with purchases.
