    Yeah, I was a little disappointed that JJ wasn't on sale for the holidays. It's not even on the charts anymore.

    I don't know if you are being sarcastic, or if you really are asking what a trap door is, a trap door might be (from what I have seen on minecraft) a door that you place below you that is like a door. Ie you click the trap door and you go through it.

    Just what I think based off what I have seen from minecraft.

    I wasn't actually being sarcastic. I know what a trap door is but I was wondering if that meant it was something WE built and left or something that was spawned and therefore we could fall through or if it was something that we could use to trap mobs.

    Legit question too since we have bridges we can walk across and force ourselves down and through, etc. I think if the trap doors were spawned on their own it would be kind of cool - they trigger when Jack walks on them and he can fall a certain depth either hurting him or worse.

    Since I wrote that question I have read different answers about them. So sometimes a question is a genuine question.

    And the mobs would be cool to collect different items from them too. So still not sure what you thought I was being sarcastic about.

    If you look on the Game Center achievement list do you have the achievement? If you do that is when I stopped finding recipes.

    I agree that a short 99 cent sale would be a good thing for the game and for sales ranking. Its benefits certainly outweigh its risks, especially if it's a short sale. Devs: do consider the economics of it.

    As for the trap door...awesome! Sounds cool whether or not it's used for good or evil. :)

    There is a lite version planned?
    I like the pixel art (I love Tiny Towers), but I have doubts about this kind of game, the addictive, funny and objective of this one.

    You really should just get it. I'd be surprised if you didn't enjoy it. It's a pixel art dreamland...

    Apple doesn't allow lite versions anymore, sadly.

    Seriously? Wow... How do they justify it? Do you have a link to an article or something?

    People should be able to test software before they actually buy it. Only seems fair to me.

    Well, I've bought Junk Jack on day 1 because it looked really promising. I've never regretted it.

    Some developers told me that Apple doesn't approve of any lite versions anymore. That's why games recently like Shantae: Risky's Revenge went with the IAP for full versions.

    Sad, really, I know.

    edit: and on the subject of sale, since so many games have been on sale recently at unbelievable prices, there's no initiative to get JJ as other games will keep a lot of people busy playing other games. Because of this, JJ has dropped fat off the rankings and may even fall into oblivion until it goes on sale.

    I'm not necessarily trying to grab this just at a low price to save money; I don't feel the necessity to get this game at this moment where there's no initiative because I'm already having a blast with Shantae, Anthill, Samurai Bloodshow, etc. I mean, I can grab this game whenever I want, that is, when I'm done with all the games which will be a lonnnng time. Unless this game never goes on sale, I don't think I'll be picking this one up for a while.

    I'm sure the game is indeed worth the 2.99 though, please don't misinterpret my post.

    double edit: Let me correct myself: lite versions do not go through for smaller developers. It's probably a different case for Gameloft or EA.

    No lites is really cheap. Now we can't decide. They did it so we take the plunge and risk it.


    On Topic: How deep can a mine be?

    I don't want to say that the poster is wrong, but ask apple themselves. Don't take a second hand hearsay to stop production on something.

    I do believe that something needs done to revitalize the product.

    I'm repeating paintings and have more than enough jewelry. I have built all the furniture and I'm now just going through repetition, not getting anything new. I still love the game, but if you want to bring this game up, something has to be done. Holiday time is coming!

    A universal version even if it's just simple to fill the screen will put a lot of Christmas butts in the seats.
