    Well hopefully when it is "officially" launched it is in better shape then Sanuku reported on.

    Nothing Major that can`t be done or fixed. HD Textures, a fixed Bug here and there and they are back in business.

    Till then...it`s ridiculous that they even had considered using the Term HD when you aren`t able to read a freaking Menu Description in the Game without having to use something like...

    That's a very interesting theory. I can't imagine that being the case, only because the sheer amount of games on the App Store. When a game is released, that doesn't mean it will be seen. But I could be wrong. D-Pad said they misunderstood the way releases work on iOS. They believed that once a game is approved by Apple, they thought they would be able to still polish it and release it when they wanted to but instead it just released after approval. But who knows what's really happening...

    Kerosene? Same guys who made Bladeslinger and Bounty Arms? These devs have talent, but they need a better implementation of their games. If this third game's still a bust, then it doesnt look like they have improved much.

    I actually enjoyed those two Games very much because Kerosene did actually took the time to Soft Launch those for Months so the biggest Bugs were fixed when the Game did launched Worldwide.

    Still unsure how it will be handled this time with Harvest HD but considering that some of those Sidequest Triggers currently doesn't seem to work my guess is that those Bugs would have been easily found and for sure reported in less that a couple of Days if the Game had an Soft Launch or at least an (public) Testflight App Testing Round ahead of the Launch.

    Well put--a theory. Most people will disbelieve in a theory unless it offers easy to digest info, something they wouldn't mind swallowing :)

    In most cases, they adopt the coined phrase 'conspiracy'. The more people believe that it's only a conspiracy theory, the easier it is to exploit the dismissive psychology of the general public, using it to an unholy advantage. Apple AND developers get paid for an 'accident'. Keep that in mind. You can give a hill o' beans, or just take it with a grain of salt (the latter is easier to exploit). Either way, just make sure you are educated on what these 'CRAZY' accusations are and where they come from.

    Funny thing is, when the real accident happens the first time, that's where all the other 'accidents' reoccur, based on the monetary value it shows. In these situations, money draws the line--not ethical values. You really think Apple would avoid it, or dev's not really think about taking advantage of it? The way corporatism has evolved, the answer is no--until someone gets in trouble.

    Oh--and the sheer amount of Apps on the app store? That provides an easy foothold to get away with things like this. It's like catching a fish in the sea; no one will ask you to throw it back, because there are too many left. You just got away with dinner and no consiquences, didn't ya :)

    What's odd is that this looks like it was released on Windows phones over a year and a half ago according to Luma Arcade's Facebook page. Seems like a long time to port the game and end up with this many bugs. In addition to possibly being an accidental release, I wonder if this is even a really old build.

    Looks like they didn't like the negative reviews because it's been removed, anyway thanks for the heads up because I was considering buying it cos it looked good.
