    awwwkward!


    but seriously you can't judge a game by what people compare it to! I hadn't heard of vipValet until now, i may end up snagging it!

    just die too quickly. Too small. I got a 90 after a few games on flight control, and it continues to be one of my favorites.

    just didn't like it, and don't like the comparison...sorry.

    Aqua Forest. Nuff said.

    I paid 8 dollars for that, deleted in 2 minutes. Worst purchase EVER.

    No problem.. I was just curious.

    As for the other posts, it's not awkward at all. I know I'm not the most amazing app developer. I just build games that I think would be fun to play. Can't expect to please everyone.. thanks for being honest :)

    Here are my worst apps/games ever bought:

    ialleyball - (.99) the most flawed and pathetic attempt at a skeeball game ever, no updates to try to fix, possibley the worst iphone game ever, it has my vote.

    Allowin Pool - (2.99) just crap no variety or real purpose to the gameplay. Ripoff.

    Gin Rummy WiFi - (1.99) Garbage example of a gin game.

    Spades Master Live - (4.99) Ripoff. No options. Game looks nice in screenshots but its really bad when played.


    These are the worst but not all of the bad ones, within the past 2 months I haven't regretted any purchases at all, thanks to reading everyone's reviews, posts, opinions in TA forums, STP reviews, the Albie meter, experience and knowing what to look for.

    Lots of times, most recently with the dire Boulder Dash - one of the worst conversions EVER!

    Terminator (price dropped by half the day after I bought it and within a week of release. The game itself is pretty but too short and way too easy)

    Kroll (Combat is too simple and too zergy even at .99 cents)

    Underworlds (Almost regret this one. It could be great it looks like Diablo 1 in your pocket but the controls are not very good. Small and unresponsive which has caused many deaths)

    Of course the are quite a few kiddie games in the app store...as long as they're not too stupid. Sometimes you have them just to be a 'kiddie' again, temporarily.

    The best flight simulator is X plane 9, but it is quite involved, like a professional simulator. And I like iFighter right now - but turn off that music!

    There was a price drop on Orions? I thought it started at $1.99 for a couple of days and then got bumped up to $4.99 and has stayed at that price ever since.

    I regret purchasing ChocChocPop. It was one of my first App Store buys. It's so boring compared to other match-3 games out there. It's pretty to look at, but that's it. There are no difficulty levels, just mindless matching. Of course I played the Lite version and I should have just stuck with that.

    - Sparta: Lords of War (seems very incomplete and lacks many basic features of a linear hack-and-slash game)
    - Trapped (just boring)

    Make that 22, i don't regret any purchase that is under 10$ because a pack of smokes costs like 8$ now.
