    Well hang in there! Bugs or not, this is one of my top favorite iPhone games and I think it will continue to be for a long time. I love the graphics, I love the play style, you are sooo close to having a classic!

    Don't let the complainers who've never had to try to fix a bug (or try to work with xcode), or make a real-world business decision demoralize you. Yes, they have a right to complain, but they don't have a right to get you down :)

    Maybe you overreached, but if you don't, you will under-achieve.

    Update: 1.03 went to Apple today. Past experience suggests it'll be out Friday, but, of course, there's no way to say for sure.

    Expect to see:

    Balance Changes:
    Skeletons resurrect less frequently
    Acid duration and effectiveness reduced
    Unholy Fires no longer triggers Aura Siphon
    Strength Stat skills now grant 1 full point of strength rather than 0.1 point

    Bug Fixes:
    Overall stability improved
    Item stackability no longer lost between save games
    Player movement jitteriness reduced
    Damage type modifiers now apply appropriately to weapons
    Player Data no longer carried over from challenges into continued standard game

    Shoot me...

    But I still hate the controls. :mad:

    Those of you who like the controls, how are you playing? With one finger, thumb, two handed or??? I can't find any finger/hand setup that is consistent and comfortable, without constantly blocking my view and requiring constant motions all over the screen.

    I know there are still bigger fish to fry with this game, but I'm also hoping some alternate control schemes are implemented someday when the bugs are under control.

    Well, the game is turn based so you don't hold your finger down to move. You just tap.

    Tap the top of the screen to move up, the sides of the screen to move left or right, and the bottom of the screen to move down.

    Seems to work pretty well for me.

    The devs have stated that they will not put it on sale for the foreseeable future. If you are worried about the price going down, don't worry about it!

    alright thank you. it has just happened to me way too many times to count. it probably wouldnt be good to put it on sale anyway till all the bugs are ironed out. thank you.

    Oh, yeah, I knew I forgot to do something. :p

    don't worry, it's fixed for 1.03, I just prefer to focus on things that are better *and* new for official updates.

    Of course they're back. T'was but a bug, dear sir.

    I'm lead designer and I'm tellin ya, the price ain't budgin' for awhiles.

    Acid reduces armor and can make it go negative; however, the spell has undergone a significant nerf for 1.03.

    Anyway, looking forward to 1.03! (Still currently "Waiting for Review")

    Myself, I'd be more inclined to buy this if there were a price drop, especially given how buggy it apparently is. I can understand people who don't want the price to drop from what they paid, but I'd rather pay the dropped price. :)

    Well Crunc, it's a lot less buggy now, and 1.03 should probably go out today, and with that it should be *way* less buggy, and performing better.

    Also there won't be a price drop anytime soon.

    Rofl, could you tell me 1 person that wouldnt be more inclined to pay a sale/dropped price :p

    Thing is, if they do that, and with the current problems of the game, they face major refund fest from customers that could've asked for it but didnt for faith in the devs and stuff. Overall not good move :p.

    Personally, can't wait for 1.04 and onwards, preferably no bugs and more lvls/classes.

    Good but...

    You need to reset the leader-boards after every update. i love this game but people rockin 900+ armor still hold the top spots...

    Yeah, I'm working on it. Unfortunately we weren't able to stress test the leaderboards before release, being tiny and all, and apparently nobody using CocosLive has either had a game with more than a few hundred scores (100 Rogues currently has about 18000) or reported the problems that ensue.

    I'm working with the server admin to figure out a way to do so, and they'll be reset as soon as I'm able to.

    Can I buy this with confidence that it won't go on sale right after?

    I think the fact that you can exploit the genie's level to gain infinite food is something that ought to be fixed :p. I don't think you guys meant to make the game easier after the genie.

    They said this won't go on sale for, at least, 6 months, and that they're not even considering it at the time.

    "In review" means in an hour or two? :)
