//Don't worry; despite the game being free, it now has iAds, so a portion of the proceeds from them will still go to food allergy research. Space Laser Race™ is the first-ever space simulator game developed by a 13-year-old and is available for free on the App Store. The young developer is dedicating a portion of his proceeds from the ad impressions of his game to food allergy research.

That will make everyone happy. >_> DrPixel Well-Known Member Jun 12, 2011 124 0 0 Student Arizona, USA #3 DrPixel, Jun 24, 2011 I'm going to download it now, then test it out in a bit. It looks pretty nice! For the previous comment, maybe you could add an in-app purchase to remove the ads? That would still give you and the food allergy charity money while making the people who actually are willing to pay for the game happy. On a side note, I'm also 13 years old.

EDIT: Also, people who previously bought the game don't have ads. @DrPixel Thanks for downloading, and an In-App Purchase will be coming soon in an update. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
