    Good idea, we'll add it to the list of possible update features.

    Great! Also i suggest you to add a visibile limit point in level select and level result relative to three stars system. It's frustrating replay level without know how many point to do for gain 1,2 or all 3 stars.

    Yeah we've heard that a bunch of times. 3 stars, achievements, and small rewards as you play are something that's definitely high priority for us to get perfect.

    Thanks for the support, tell all your friends!

    Currently we are focusing on releasing Major Mayhem on other platforms like Android, PC and Mac. Then we will be adding achievements as soon as that's done.

    Absolutely loving this game. But I'm wondering how the stars are tallied. I feel like I'm often doing well in a level, yet I still might only end with one star.

    Stars are purely awarded by score.

    1 star is pretty easy, 2 and 3 stars get harder as the game progresses. The key to earning them is to get long/large combos. Shoot enemies multiple times and maximize your multipliers.

    Look for ways to chain together multiple sets of enemies into one combo by shooting chickens and jets as well.

    I think we'll try to communicate the star scores better in a future update.

    Good Luck!

    Alrighty, thanks.

    Well, either way, I just want to say that this is perhaps one of the best values I've found on the App Store to date. The game controls like a dream, the gameplay makes great sense for the platform and interface, and I'm never hounded by IA-friggin'-Ps. Many thanks, and I greatly look forward to a possible sequel.

    You earn coins in the game to unlock items such as new weapons. The rate at which you unlock content is the same as it was in the original 99c version, there is just a lot more stuff to unlock now!

    Everything in the app can be accessed for free if you wish and are good enough. ;)

    Try it out, hope you all like it. I'd love to hear your feedback.

    P.S. oh and one more note: even though it is free, there are no ads.

    Cheers,
    Major Mayhem Devs.
     
  18. I have decided to support your decision to convert this game to freemium. I played it quite a bit tonight and pondered what to think.

    First, thank you for giving past owners 20,000 in coins. With that, I was able to unlock ALL game levels and ALL Game modes. I still have a ton of coins left to buy new guns, Continues, etc.

    So I like how you reward us early adopters. Thanks.

    Also, thanks for the new ipad retina graphics, it looks much bettter now on my ipad!

    While the game seems to be harder now, I actually like that because I felt the game was too easy before. And now that I unlocked all levels, it is better harder.

    So because of these things, I have decided to support your decision to go freemium. I will post a thread in the freebies section.

    But maybe you can take the free out of the game icon, it makes it look cheap and also will put a bad taste in the mouthes of the early buyers.

    I'm glad you enjoyed our changes.

    The free on the Icon is likely temporary. We just wanted to be sure the people that have previously seen the game and declined to pay 99c, realise that it is now free.

    I'm glad you got the 20,000 coins. Unfortunately this is only available to those who still have it installed and have a save game. I couldn't detect it any other way.

    Cheers,
    Antony.

    Well that ****ing sucks. It's not on my iPad anymore, I paid for it, I did what I usually do and pushed the update all button on iTunes on my MacBook Pro and emptied the trash. Went to this forum to find free games and now this crap. So yeah, no extra coins for having supported and purchased this game.

    Ugh, I utterly hate the mobile freemium model crap...just another game to delete off my system. I think if a company makes a game premium, they should keep it premium. I can't stand all these premium games going to the lame crappy freemium model. Getting tired of this crap on mobile systems.
