SwimCeej Well-Known Member Dec 10, 2008 323 0 16 I help make iOS games! Atlanta, GA http://games.adultswim.com #5 SwimCeej, Jan 8, 2014 Wooo! Very excited to finally be releasing this game - very excited to hear what you guys think. It's a paid game (our first in a while, esp. at the 2.99 price point), no ads, and I think you'll find the IAP implemented is fairly light and completely optional. There are 2 currencies, yes - Doom Shekels and Evilness. Doom Shekels are used to unlock and level-up your traps and minions. Evilness is used only for in-game power-ups. You earn a fairly generous amount of both just by playing - Evilness is gained by completing mini-goals, Shekels by completing levels and defeating heroes. In part it's so you don't have to worry about hoarding currency of one type since they're used for different things. If Shekels were also used for in-game power-ups then you'd have to weigh using that in the heat of the moment when you're about to lose a level and being able to keep on your upgrade path.

Sorry if it's stupid to ask on release day but any plans to update the game in the future? 3 chapters and endless sound great though. _Max_ Well-Known Member Apr 19, 2012 1,500 0 0 #8 _Max_, Jan 8, 2014 Look fine, wait for reach US store Fangbone Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2012 1,212 0 36 Michigan, USA #9 Fangbone, Jan 8, 2014 Looks pretty good SwimCeej Well-Known Member Dec 10, 2008 323 0 16 I help make iOS games!

Also wondering if you can comment on how long the game campaign lasts roughly? Of course endless mode will add so so much time to that still I'm guessing. GrumpyfaceChris Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2010 460 0 16 Tempe, AZ http://grumpyface.net #13 GrumpyfaceChris, Jan 8, 2014 Happy to report that this is a really meaty game -- it easily takes the longest to complete out of any of the games we've developed for iOS. We've timed people to take as long as 7-10 hours just to play through every level, and even longer to unlock all content, get the best ratings, or dabble in the Endless mode. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,342 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #14 metalcasket, Jan 8, 2014 Any plans for an Android release? ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,003 113 #15 ste86uk, Jan 8, 2014 Sounds good to me! so I seen the post about IAP and more than one currency and IAP not being needed. How is it implemented? Is it just a shortcut to unlock things faster or are there things that are IAP only? Just wondering about endless too can we earn the currencies during endless play? Does it save so you can come back to where you were on endless too? GrumpyfaceChris Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2010 460 0 16 Tempe, AZ http://grumpyface.net #16 GrumpyfaceChris, Jan 8, 2014 The only IAP in the game currently is for coin packs and a coin doubler -- absolutely everything in the game can be unlocked without IAP, and (as with all our games) we tried our very best to make the IAP unobtrusive and ensure it doesn't feel required. Without ever spending a cent you will consistently be able to unlock and upgrade things throughout the game. And yes, you can earn both currencies in both the campaign and in Endless Endless mode does not save -- it's more of a "see how far you can go in one run" type of thing. Endless mode is treated as a "bonus mode" that you unlock later in the game, btw, with the big campaign serving as the main event Hope that helps!
