IAPs are not in any way necessary for 100% completion right? Nor is excessive grinding? If this is true then I'm putting this game on my wishlist.
Not at all. We made sure the IAPs are not part of the core gameplay but rather for cheats if you really just want to skip the progression stuff. The cheats which, when bought,allow you to overpower your zombies a bit for a specific level. They are unlocked via the ingame currency, however you earn this currency by winning a level (25 per star) and it carries across the different game modes. These cheats are not at all necessary to complete a level with 3 stars - they're just help if you really need it. We also disable achievements when using the cheats for a specific level to try and encourage you to 'win without using drugs' . Also with the update we've removed all references to 'buying IAP' and have made it so the humans will also drop the currency (roughly every 4th person). So you could unlock all the cheats if you really want without IAP.
Thanks, are cheats consumable, or can they be turned on and off after being bought? Also, can you earn more money after beating the game? For my OCD, can I buy all cheats without excessive grinding?
Yes the cheats can be turned on and off at will once bought. Basically you're using the currency to unlock them. They are tied to each level and not a global thing, again to try and encourage you to 'win without using drugs'. You can reply the game (any level) as much as you want and you'll earn the currency while you're doing it (through the drops). Also there's two versions of the game now (casual and strategy/classic) and the currency is shared between them. So you can also earn more currency by playing the 'other' mode.
Great! So with cheats saving across modes, I might buy them all after my first playthrough on casual to use on my second playthrough on advanced and then use 'em on casual for the third playthrough totally crushing those levels! This gets better and better!
Don't forget we've also added Heroes too. The highest hero (burbling) is pretty overpowered, converts humans to burblings too, so you can do a burbling rush! Really my favorite is the Mecha-Zombie with his Scorpion style 'get over here' harpoon (i.e. Smoker from LFD)
Well, now I feel that asking for a promo code would be like stealing twice. It's crime enough to only pay one dollar if this game works as advertised. And thanks for the quick replies, it means a lot to customers. On the other hand, Simultronics of One Epic Knight still hasn't emailed me back.
