Totally legit, totally premium, totally shocking. I have a few seconds left of downloading before I fire this up, but I'm pretty damn stoked.

Maybe you download 60MB of in-game music from the slowest CDN on Earth? Jean pierre Well-Known Member Mar 24, 2017 320 2 18 #12 Jean pierre, May 18, 2017 I won't buy this game because of additional ressources to download before launching. It means that the IPA file (meant for backup) is an empty shell. You will be able to play until the publisher decides to stop the service. jpgold Well-Known Member Sep 21, 2012 1,818 56 48 Online Ad Sales - Pandora New York, NY #13 jpgold, May 18, 2017 This could have easily been f2p with timers, IAP, internet connections, energy, etc. couldn't be happier to pay the $3.99 for it. Downloaded and having a blast. metalwastebasket Well-Known Member Jan 5, 2017 161 55 28 #14 metalwastebasket, May 18, 2017 Yeah, it's ridiculous how long it took. I downloaded over WiFi but I'm presuming the iTunes download is small enough to download over 3G, hence why it has to download extra assets or whatever. The funny thing is if the initial download was less than a 100 MB, they recommend you download the extra resources via WiFi. Dude, no offense, but from your forum posts it looks like you're trying to find excuses to not buy anything. Infinite Zero Well-Known Member Sep 13, 2013 103 5 18 #15 Infinite Zero, May 18, 2017 I'm glad to see that the tradition of awesome Taito music found in Space Invaders: Infinity Gene and Groove Coaster continues here. I'm also pleased that the Arkanoid theme plays at the start of each level. Gameplay is a fantastic mash-up of the two styles. Very well done. Jean pierre Well-Known Member Mar 24, 2017 320 2 18 #16 Jean pierre, May 18, 2017 Not at all, I use to spend a lot for games. All my comments are not negative (look at my comment for "collect or die" for instance). It is not honest to tease people with "Arkanoid vs Space Invaders is completely free of in-app purchases and requires IOS 8.0 or later." and forget to mention that there is additional ressources to download. DonnyDJ76 Well-Known Member Nov 1, 2011 1,793 58 48 Male Teacher Hackensack, NJ #17 DonnyDJ76, May 18, 2017 Completely agree with the positive comments, but it's unclear how to achieve gold medals other than to achieve a score as high as possible. I've unlocked 3 characters out of 40 who each have different powers. Although no iaps, there seems to be a lot of grinding. I've tried stage 1 and still can't achieve gold using different characters. The gameplay itself is a ton of fun. Perhaps as more characters are unlocked, gold will be achievable. No iaps is great. Leaderboards, no achievements, but there are in game achievements where you can use coins to pick up power ups. metalwastebasket Well-Known Member Jan 5, 2017 161 55 28 #18 metalwastebasket, May 18, 2017 Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with that point. Much like Eli's review, had I known there were additional resources to download, I wouldn't have even bothered with the game. Yes, I realize how hypocritical I seem right now. shfrost Well-Known Member Apr 9, 2010 432 10 18 Artist Wooded area #19 shfrost, May 18, 2017 Being old enough to remember when Arkanoid first came out, and play it to death, I'm having a nostalgic blast. Sure, this incarnation is worlds apart from that early game, but I wouldn't be satisfied with a direct port at this point in time. The "Breakout" theme has moved on, and on, and on... ad nauseum. I've only played through the first planet and a couple of levels into the second, but I'm detecting a good bit of depth here, even strategy. Wha?! Strategy? Well, I think so. I hope it continues to develop. So far, definitely worth the 4 bucks. But, as I said, I'm old and very nostalgic. P.S. I had no trouble with the download speed. It might have been a bit slower than normal, but not by much. Jean pierre Well-Known Member Mar 24, 2017 320 2 18 #20 Jean pierre, May 18, 2017 A very big thank to Eli ! The information about this download has been very useful for me (and certainly others). Besides it drives me crazy because I am sure that this game is awesome. Let's hope the publisher will change his policy. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
