At its core, it's an air hockey game, but the spin they've put on it with the general story, aesthetics and atmosphere is simply brilliant. There are IAPs, but so far I can't see how they'd be necessary - there's nothing locked behind anything even remotely resembling a wall. Basically you play the air hockey matches against different characters, and winning gets you coins, score and tokens. You can use coins to buy different short stories about each character, and once you've bought them all, you can unlock the character's special skill. You can also buy different pucks and paddles, but I haven't looked at those yet. The tokens are used in a random-ish "flip a card to win a prize" mini game, where you can win coins, more tokens, or parts of characters' biographies. You get a free token every 30 minutes, but you also get them for completing missions. So far, nearly everything I've done has given me a completed mission and a token/coin/score reward. Honestly, this game is just brilliant.

Sounds like, if possible, even more fun than what's already in this package of potential awesomeness... I'm kinda surprised at the generous price tag, actually.

This brings back some memory's. I played a game similar to this back in the 90's on either my Amiga 500+ or cd32 (can't remember which) Well anyway I can't remember what it was called either (maybe someone else can remember) But this is really cool. I remember spending quite a few hours playing this back in my school days yet another game to remind me I'm old well I'm sure I'll be spending some great sessions with this too.
