My publisher and I parted ways, so I'm re-releasing my game and self-publishing it from here on out. Unfortunately they couldn't transfer the app to my account (apps can't be transferred if they use iCloud), so I needed to release it as an entirely new app. This means that existing players will have to repurchase it. To address this, I'm setting the game free until January 2nd. The game is a space combat sim in the style of Wing Commander, with simplified 2D controls, so as to be playable on touchscreens, and an 80s cartoon storyline. Shaun Musgrave wrote a great review of it when it launched in late August: http://toucharcade.com/2014/08/29/ace-ferrara-and-the-dino-menace-review/ Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel App Store link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id943064340?mt=8
Thanks for the heads up...I bought it on release day. Would have sucked if I had to repurchase it later. I hate that Apple doesn't let you transfer...I've repurchased a couple games in the past because of this and I disliked doing that. Thanks again.
I didn't purchase the game, although it looks very interesting, I liked Wing Commander, but I appreciate your desire to try and make things all good with your customer base. I agree that the Apple model is sort of crazy about not allowing transfers. Best of luck for your game and future endeavors!
Can't save? Just getting started with thus and love it! However when I try to save I see a connecting.... And then the game hangs? I'm playing on a iPad Air and on a 6+ does the same...
Happy New Year! Got the reference, I used to watch Dr.Who but I'm stuck on season 8 as I haven't had a lot of spare time recently.
I submitted an update that'll fix that bug yesterday! It should hit the store in a couple of days. In the meantime, the game auto-saves, so unless you start a new game at some point, you should be able to play it through without problems. Alternatively, the bug shouldn't occur if you log out of Game Center before going into a load/save menu. Oh and happy new year, you guys!

Ace Ferrara is a military cadet who just scored the most prestigious internship in the galaxy: aboard the Proton Riders' flagship Discordia. However, between escorting coffee freighters and manning the fax machine, Ace soon discovers that being an intern among his heroes isn't quite what he dreamed it would be. Step into Ace Ferrara's shoes, meet cybernetically augmented cats, daredevil adventurers and the enigmatic Double-Doctor Proton, and work yourself up from lowly intern to galactic hero! “Both the plot and actual features of the game truly reveal the amount of heart and soul that was poured into it.” - AppAdvice (5/5 stars, Game of the Week) == 23 ACTION-PACKED MISSIONS == Strike huge capital ships, patrol the depths of unknown solar systems, navigate mine fields and take out enemy aces in frantic dogfights! Master five different ships - from light scouts to heavy bombers - and fly alongside the galaxy's hottest pilots, colorful commentary included. == BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENTS == Rocket through the upper atmosphere of a gas giant, hyperjump into a stormy space nebula, or take out a dinosaur installation in close orbit around a red supergiant. If you have an iPhone 5 or better, the environments are even animated: stars twinkle, lightning crashes, and planetary ring systems shimmer in the pale light of a white dwarf. == HILARIOUS 80S STORY == From nefarious dino royalty to the obligatory smart-alec kid and her dog, "Ace Ferrara And The Dino Menace" is chock-full of 80s cartoon tropes. Over 50 scripted dialogue scenes and briefings advance the story between missions. == TOUCHSCREEN-OPTIMIZED CONTROLS == "Ace Ferrara And The Dino Menace"'s gameplay has been carefully designed to feel great on your touchscreen!
