    Ultima II was the first great computer game I played. It was so cool being able to travel to all 9 planets and Planet X. Good luck with tribute game. I love the idea. #

    The Android version quotes it as having IAP in game. Assume this will be the same?

    No, there's no IAP in either version. I don't know why the Google Play store says that -- I probably did something wrong.

    Looks great from the screenshots, I just wish the font used for the status and text boxes was the same (low) resolution as the game. The movement buttons don't bother me as much, since they're an obvious concession to the modern device the game is being played on. But mixed resolutions in the actual game drive me crazy :)

    Congrats to the dev on the release; I'm looking forward to buying the bug-fixed version when it's out.

    @Robin P1XL games! I love your games man. That little adventure game in the P1XL party collection is so cool!

    I get what you say about the font. For some reason the high-res text never bothered me as I was making this - I guess with the menus and interface it isn't really pretending to be an old game. The simplicity and abstractness of the old avatar/map graphics is what I really love and wanted to reproduce. But maybe I can experiment with using that old Apple II text and see how it looks.

    :eek: only saw this thread today, I love Ultima, gotta get my hands on this one!

    To the dev: speaking from my own experience, you can ask for an 'expedited review' from the Apple team, if you give them a description how to reproduce the bug/issue and it is the first time you are asking they WILL accept the request and review it in less than 24 hours. Had a bug in my game that I released mid December and they turned my request around in 24 hours after the review queue pre-Xmas was already > 10 days. So that is a good option if you found that a particular release you make has a bug. They may however be more favourable towards the request if it were a crash bug. but I would give it a try.

    Yeah, sorry, it's still in review. It's been 9 days now and the average time is 11, according to appreviewtimes.com. They must be slammed after that holiday shutdown.

    I am going to be so bummed if it isn't approved in time to make the list this week! All I want for this game is to see it appear there :)

    Thanks for the update. If you are that concerned about the release timing then you should hold the release if it isn't approved by Wednesday and release it the next week.
