    I do find it interesting ots been so many years. Would love to hear impressions of changes that only older players would know (thanks for commenting about it!). I'm plannimg on trying it in a bit so I can give an unbiased opinion. Fingers crossed for a good game.

    Extremely charming! Even the BMG and Sound Effects are well done.
    Sadly, there are 3 different in-game currencies, and an energy bar.
    I might have to let this one slip pass, unfortunately. :(

    After watching most of the gameplay I still want to try this but won't hold my hopes up very high

    Game definitely looks worth a try. It's hard to find an actually good RPG for iOS that doesn't overwhelm players.

    Aye hoping it's decent, I quit Happy Street because although they have supported the game for years now they keep hair adding content and special buildings that cost IAP currency. Hoping that's not the case here.

    is it always the case now with games the first question is what about the IAP is that now more important is game any good?

    I care if a game is good, I guess people just worry about how the IAP system is implemented also because time is precious and they don't want to invest time to later find out it has a paywall or is like Dungeon Keeper.

    I'm happy to pay for proper games I like the sound of and I enjoy many many free games that I probably wouldn't have purchased just to try and hope I like them.

    It's important to know how the IAP is because that determines if the game is really and truly playable. There are some that you barely recognize it's there and then there are others that have timers for days, literally, basically encouraging you to spend lots of money on gems coins or some other consumable.

    I don't care HOW good a game is if I have to wait days for a portion of the game to unlock or be built.

    Uggghh made up a long post and then it got deleted. Basically this is an online game when Disco Zoo, Tiny Tower, etc are not. Pretty annoying for a game that I'd need to be able to play any time. Disappointing. Definite pass.

    Not on the UK still, guess I'll log into my CA if you say it's there.

    Downloading off CA now, but I do hate doing it unless I have to but it should have been in the UK 7 hours ago.

    Anyone know how it all works if I want to swap to the UK store once it's released? Will have to have iCloud won't it?
