    If we ever ad non opt-in ads (I hope we don't but can't promise) they definitely won't be shown to anyone who has purchased non-consumable IAP. Unfortunately the current version doesn't track the 99c life refill purchase history.

    No user adjustable turn/match timer makes this game pretty much worthless to me, especially given the absurdly long default timer. Thanks for the information.

    At least we know exactly what the game is worth to you now!

    That isn't good! Can you tell me your opponents name and your GC name?

    Hey eeenmachine, I'm not usually a fan of bumping a post, but it seems mine got overlooked earlier.
    I was just kind of curious to hear some of the dialogue that went on behind the scenes for the icons.

    We wanted everyone to have the most unique combinations possible to them which meant unlocking all icons to those who customize.

    I think that just the first icon yet all the colours should be unlocked. That way you still are paying for all the icons. ATM everyone I am playing has blue and a castle. Just letting people change the colours would change that and please everyone whilst still making the iAP have a purpose. Even if it was just 3 or 4 colours.

    On another note what I am really liking about the game is that playing short words is just as important as long one and that attacking the opponent is key. Makes you really think tactical when creating words, I make 3/4 words before I find one that works the best. I also save the hard letters around my castle like the V, Z, W, X as it makes it harder for them to attack you when they get there.

    That makes a lot of sense. I think it would have been a good opportunity to let people work towards achieving something and ultimately the longevity of the game, since we all know how much people like unlocking new things.
    But at the same time it's really not that important. You've made a really phenomenal game, and the icon customization isn't really a huge part of that.
    Thanks for the response.

    One more request. With the history is it possible to make it so we can 1) view the whole game 2) Go back to a word that was played?

    That would actually require storing a lot more data on our servers so I don't think we'd consider it unless it was a widely requested feature.
