nah, take it easy. i for one will thank you for without your post, i wouldnt be downloading this game now. cheers.
Don't believe the hype. The IAPs are not consumable by any practical stretch of the imagination, nor are they really necessary or even all that helpful! That said, after a few hours play, I bought the $3 one solely to support the devs, hasn't really helped my game whatsoever, but I'd do it again). I wrote a long post about it here, because I'm really loving the app: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showpost.php?p=1849738&postcount=41
Yeah I've been playing this a LOT since it came out, and I haven't gotten one IAP... I have started over a couple times because of it... But each time I get further and further... Hope one day I can beat it, but if I do, I'll want to start another game from the beginning because it's just a fun game. =oD
At what point are you dying? What level are you? I'm at level 9 now and I have encountered nodes that I have to try a couple times to beat, but haven't really risked loosing much energy. Have you read the strategy docs in the help? I found the game really broadened once I did.
the name might be close but so are a lot of things... at least the gameplay and the graphics are unique; if they were copied, it'd be different.
