    Anyone able to buy content?


    This is ridiculous. The game can't be viewed in Retina graphics until I buy a ship, but I can't buy a ship.

    I guess I will hold off playing until I can buy something.

    I have never seen this happen before where content fails every time

    And this is where this whole IAP thing just gets out of hand. I don't want to mess with all this stuff. I just want to pay an honest price for an honest game. Ridiculous.

    Please Venan get out a full version, charge $3 for it and be done with it!

    Also if I think THIS model of IAP is ok, entering you iTunes details without seeing price first is VERY BAD.

    +1.
    I would have preferred a premium version as well, however I think that new Apple rules do not allow 2 games with identical content.

    I disagree, this is better than premium because it reduces piracy.

    I love the game! I just got an iPod 4 so now I can get the Retina Display FREE BONUS DLC that comes with the ships.

    So if I pay 2 dollars I get all ships, no ads, and no countdown? That's pretty much paying for the game.

    Make us pay for the full game please. Unless the purpose of this marketing strategy is in fact fighting piracy, please release a full version at 4.99, or another fitting price.

    After you enter your password, you get a break down of available purchases and prices. I tried to buy the blast pack, but it failed to download. Have to wait.
    Game looks awesome even without retina support. i can only imagine how awesome it will look with retina.

    no offense, but how much can one trick oneself into believing they get something for free? :p



    also you can either unlock the Firedrake for $1 or all ships for $2 while the description implies you can purchase any ship individually.
    I am not arguing about prices or the evilness of DLC in that case,
    just the way things are handled.

    and BTW I love this game and got the Black Pack.

    Venan, I want to give you more money!
    Survived 23 waves so far. Fantastic game! Really. The essence of Space Miner.
    One single wish: different weapons for each ship.

    Otherwise, congrats, this game will climb up the App Store charts for sure.
    It's such a great IAP model, btw. So many people will spend the (little) money.

    Thanks!

    2 dollars? Are you complaining?

    You can buy individual ships. Just tap "purchase" in that ship's screen and get an option to buy this ship or blast pack. but you get the pack, so mute point.

    Universal Version?

    Any plans to make one? I'd like to make the IAP but would rather not have to do so twice.

    So far, It's a fun arcade game, but it's quite forgettable when compared to Space Ore Bust.

    Amid all the IAP to-do, (absolutely no way am I confirming anything before seeing a purchase price btw) the game finally appeared in the Aus store. Having played it for 20 mins or so, it strikes me as being "alright" but nothing remotely special. For the sake of the argument I hope to never see this kind of messy IAP model again. For this particular game, for me, it now may be a moot point.
