Agreed. If anything, now I'll tell friends to avoid the game... I don't care how good a game is, this kind of stuff really turns me off.
I wouldn't automatically assume that the dev was trying to pull a fast one here. The dev seemed pretty responsive in answering questions/issues in the main thread of the game. This could have been some sort of mistake. If the dev had made the OP, I'd be inclined to think differently. It's a great game and I'd still certainly recommend it for a buck.
This might be a great game, but trying to sell me a non-universal and identical HD version paints it in poor light for me. It'll stay on my wishlist just yet.
Very disappointing. These 5 minute sales are... Seriously dev. I had a mere passing interest in this game to begin with, I would very much like to see this go free for a decent period of time, at least a day. Come on.
To be fair..is anyone sure this is actually something intentional by the dev? Maybe someone from Apple accidentally made the wrong app go free and corrected it a few minutes later?
Exactly my point above. I seriously doubt this was intentional. I know I get on devs for screwing over their customers for other things (like adding ads to previously paid games). But the Dev never posted this. What would he stand to gain from having their app free for 5 minutes? Pissed off people? Doesn't make sense to me. Anyway, I'm choking this one up to a mistake.
They claimed to be free only to attract attention ... Actually they were free for no time ; At least in the US , I didn't see the price drop for even a second ! I felt I was fooled , I promise I would never ,never , never buy their apps , for ever !
You all need to quit being so butt hurt. It's not like the dev made this thread. It's a whole bank-shattering dollar, either way.
Can I request this thread to be closed or even removed? Seems like this could be a case of some mistake and the dev may be unfairly penalized... =(
Agreed. Don't know why people are going so ballistic. The dev never said anything about this being free to my knowledge. Please close.
Yeah I assumed the dev made the thread, my bad. Still a great game. Just doubt I will buy the non hd version as I already have the iPad version.

ahhh! so that's where the missing piece of the puzzle lies!! iND, maybe add to thread title that the offer is probably only valid in NZ?
