    Been avoiding this for the better part of the last 2 days because of the international bug thing, despite really, REALLY wanting to give it a go. After I heard the update had been rejected, I basically thought "eh, screw it...if it doesn't work, I'll just update, right?"

    Well? This is totally far-fetched, but if there are any Lebanese peeps reading this now who have their language set as English despite the region being Lebanon...

    ...it works perfectly fine. :3

    I know we have a fellow Arab on the board (shero89), I'm curious to know if you tried this out. I'm presuming your location is Egypt, so it should be interesting.

    All that said, spectacular work Grumpyface...SME completely puts any other vertical digger games (of the endless type) to shame. You guys are GOOD! :)

    Many users I trust say this game is awesome, and I got that feeling too, but I cant play it... Any news on the re-submission/review process?

    Couple of points worth noting about IAP and gems:

    - You pick up a ton of gems in game, and combined with the mission objective awards, I've been able to unlock a couple of characters and fully upgrade one without excessive grinding.
    - Characters each have different strengths and weaknesses, but they are all balanced. Depending on your style of play, the starter character is a better choice than the most expensive one.
    - You can't buy your way to a higher leaderboard position. A "Pardon" can only be used once per round (whether bought, bribed, or won during the free spin), so you can't endlessly buy a higher score. Also, a single round almost always nets me the 1000 gems required to bribe the judge to receive a Pardon.

    Thanks for those impressions/details, strivemind :)

    And glad it worked for you metalcasket! I think it's actually because Lebanon uses the $ symbol (all regions that do are unaffected). Such a dumb bug this is...

    All fixes are finished on our end after another late one last night, now just waiting for it to be approved. If I were to estimate I would say anywhere from 1-4 hours from now.

    Anyway I'm watching it probably way too obsessively, so I'll definitely post here/twitter the moment it goes up :)

    Haha, yep...that's Lebanon for you. You hear people endlessly complain about how the USD is preferred over our own Lebanese Lira, and that we should start using the L.L. more. Yeah...well, how do you like that Dollar now, people? :p

    The update is approved and going up now (you'll notice when it's up, because the icon has changed to a close-up of Marty's face!) Could take either a few minutes to propagate in your store, or up to an hour

    If anyone who previously had problems can check it out and report to us if they still see any issues that would be a huge help! (also let us know if it's all fixed -- that helps too!)

    Of course! Can't thank you enough for your patience. You guys really shouldn't have had to deal with this in the first place, but all I can say is that every time we run into something like this... we learn from it and it doesn't happen again :)
