    from what i gather at quick glances on youtube its a tower defence with expanding borders where your character throws money at everything to be built/ defended but doesnt raise a single stone him/herself.
    I wish i liked TD so i could get it because premium + amazing art.

    There's a lot of exploration too. It's less a TD game and more of a resource and kingdom managent sim. And it's hard.
    Really the game is massive. There's so many secrets and interactions it's amazing.
    There's a wiki to help you figure stuff out, but I would go in blind for your first play through. Magic.

    Has Game Center kicked in? Your GC nickname should pop up before it contributes to load. No issues with it on SE myself.

    Played the PC version. This game is a lot deeper than it initially seems :)

    I'm really surprised this game is getting so much praise here with the premium price tag. Most new gamers would scoff at this. Bought. Never played it on pc but I heard the magic words for me. Rogue lite and looks like pixel graphics. Will get me off cataclysm DDA for a little.... on day 10 :)

    Nice port, but controls are a bit twitchy, registering unintended taps and down-swipes instead of side-swipes, which leads to your monarch throwing down coin instead of moving. This can be especially frustrating when you are on a build site with enemies approaching and instead of moving, you drop coin instead, get surrounded and lose the game.

    Perhaps it's me, but utilizing very similar gestures for drastically different actions is a questionable design decision. Perhaps limiting coin inputs to the right region of the screen and moves to the left would alleviate this issue.

    Despite this frustration, beautiful game and certainly worth the premium. In a sea of uninspiring freemium crap, this is a standout and shouldn't be overlooked.

    when i launch this app, gamecenter banner appears from top of screen.

    and i unlocked 5 day surviving achievement so probably Game Center enabled

    It's good to see another developer go the premium route while staying true to a price point that's indicative of a game's value. And I'm sure it's even a steal at $9.99.

    Interesting. Do we know if it's cloud then? Also one time purchase (say I purchase on iphone, be able to play on ipad with some purchase).

    Not a big deal for me. I would rather play on the Ipad but at work and have some free time to kill.

    This looks amazing but according to the trailer you just ride back and forth on various animals and throw coins at NPC's? I think I'll wait to hear a bit more about gameplay.

    Interesting, I haven't had any of these issues with the controls. For me they have been fluid, well implemented, and easy to use.

    Swipe and hold left or right to move left or right.(two speeds, adjust while holding)
    Swipe and hold down over a build / hire site to put in coins until it's full.
    Tap to toss coins to citizens or banker.

    Couldn't be simpler, and I haven't had a single issue. I don't mean to be rude, I just found your comment a surprise after quietly praising the controls while I was playing.
