It's probably because you installed the 1.0.1 version instead of the 1.0.2. We have locked that now on iTunes Connect to be sure that everybody got the good version of the game. There's no issue to report on the 1.0.2 version. Don't hesitate to update it and to give us extra feedback! Bronxsta Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2012 4,698 6 38 http://indiegameenthusiast.blogspot.com/ #17 Bronxsta, Dec 4, 2013 How many levels are there? Appletini Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 2,564 0 0 Ankh-Morpork #18 Appletini, Dec 4, 2013 Newp, I have 1.0.2 installed. Every time I shut the game down and re-open it, all of the chapters are re-locked and I have to use the restore purchases feature to unlock the full game again. Even after doing that, I need to begin the first chapter and quit back to the menu in order to open up chapters two and three. In addition, choosing the locked chapter two pops up a message mistakenly telling me that wallpapers have been saved to my photos, which they haven't been, because I didn't buy the "Fan Pack" or wallpaper IAP. On top of that, chapter three doesn't appear to work (assuming I'm not missing something in this situation). Not only are the movement controls and two of the menu icons missing, after the initial two lines of text appear nothing else happens and no touch has any effect. Deleting and downloading the game again hasn't had any effect. Connector Well-Known Member May 6, 2012 15,512 1 0 In the Chatroom http://thechatroom.freeforums.net/ #19 Connector, Dec 4, 2013 Looks pretty cool, will definitely download it and give it a shot. Hope there is more to it than mostly jumping. Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #20 Exact-Psience, Dec 4, 2013 There's more to it. Basically, the rules of the game changes depending on the narrative that comes with the stage. It's pretty cool coz there are some times you need to figure out what the narrative meant to complete a stage, or sometimes figuring out a stage can make you go "so that's what the narrative meant" which is a pretty nice touch.
