We didn't want to just make a in-app for ad-removal alone cause that's a bit naff. I'll make a note for the first update to re-assess the gaps between ads. I think they're a bit keen too to be honest Collin Well-Known Member Jul 29, 2010 719 46 28 Graphic Designer/Illustrator/Art Director Colorado Springs, CO https://www.theislandsofmisfitcreativity.com/ #6 Collin, Sep 17, 2015 Downloading now, but I figured I would still ask: are the IAPs consumables, or unlocks? If consumable, and I were to delete and reinstall at a later time (or also install on my iPhone), would I be able to restore somehow and rid myself of ads again, or would it require another purchase? fiskadoro Well-Known Member Jan 1, 2009 326 17 18 Chicago, IL #7 fiskadoro, Sep 17, 2015 I see a "restore" option in the settings, so that's probably a good sign, but you should probably wait for the dev to respond of course. This definitely seems like a fun one so far. pwg_myk Member Sep 16, 2015 9 0 0 #8 pwg_myk, Sep 17, 2015 There are consumables (pixels) and non-consumables (extra galleries and so on) - either will remove Ads. Non-consumables are restorable over a delete. HOWEVER... consumables aren't so easy to keep track of - Apple documentation even states that tracking consumables isn't required to pass submission because its 'tricky' without a server (which we don't have) - deleting the game having only bought consumables is going to lose that benefit I believe. I hope to address this in an update but in the current release at least that's that case. I'd recommend going for the non-consumable 'animal gallery' unlock anyway - its more fun that boosting your way through the levels. On an aside, Ad frequency should now be reduced now Rick_PlayingWithGiants Member Oct 17, 2014 16 0 0 Game Designer West Yorkshire http://www.playingwithgiants.com/ #9 Rick_PlayingWithGiants, Sep 17, 2015 Hi everyone We are aware of an issue that is causing the game to crash on iPhone 4 and 4s at boot. It's got us scratching our heads at the minute as in development these devices worked fine and now on the same devices the game crashes. Will update as soon as we can. Cheers Rick pwg_myk Member Sep 16, 2015 9 0 0 #10 pwg_myk, Sep 17, 2015 A fix for crash problems on iPhone 4/4s has been found and an update is being uploaded to Apple now. Depending on how long a submission turnaround takes for updates, it should be sorted shortly Ty-Ty2020 Well-Known Member Aug 15, 2015 122 0 0 #11 Ty-Ty2020, Sep 17, 2015 Wow now that it's out and I've played it I have I say it's amazing. It's very unique and I love the pixel art style and the music. Each painting is different so it never gets boring. Also there are SO many levels! Collin Well-Known Member Jul 29, 2010 719 46 28 Graphic Designer/Illustrator/Art Director Colorado Springs, CO https://www.theislandsofmisfitcreativity.com/ #12 Collin, Sep 18, 2015 Thanks for the reply. I ran across an interesting bug. I clicked to purchase the next pack, entered my password, then it wanted me to click it again to make the purchase. However I saw there was an "unlock all" option that I would swear wasn't there before. I clicked that to see how much it would cost, and a new message box popped up mixed up with the previous message box; text all jumbled up and both buttons mixed together. I wish I had taken a screenshot. I'm playing it on an iPad Air running iOS 8.4.1, if that matters. pwg_myk Member Sep 16, 2015 9 0 0 #13 pwg_myk, Sep 18, 2015 Last edited: Sep 18, 2015 Thanks Ty-Ty2020, great to hear you're getting a lot out of it!

Hope you're enjoying the game!

It may take a few hours for the update to propogate through all the app store regions os keep an eye out for it. If anyone experienced that particular issue, my apologies - it slipped through the net.

It's working great. I bought the full unlock. pwg_myk Member Sep 16, 2015 9 0 0 #20 pwg_myk, Oct 2, 2015 Great stuff, glad to hear you're enjoying it. Keep an eye out for the Halloween update (currently in appstore sub) which has a free halloween themed gallery and, because you've unlocked everything, you'll also get the superhero/character gallery as well.
