I have been playing and enjoying this game for over a year now, just curious, why does the game suddenly cost money? And why did you first set a price and then made it higher? A one day campaign?
Apparently the price has been bouncinf around up and down in a while and is now back to free again... Any reason for this? Or were the people at PixOwl just not sure about the price?

I'd like to know why I can't restore my In-App purchase. I purchased the All Campaigns pack back when it was around $6 or $7. I haven't played the game in ages. Today, I started to play it on my iPad and saw there were some new campaigns. The latest I had unlocked was the music campaign, which I had played for a few minutes. I tried to restore purchases to unlock the new campaigns and the Restore Purchases button did nothing. I removed and reinstalled the game and I finally got the AppleID/Password box. I entered my information and I got a "purchase verification failed" message. So, now, not only can I not unlock the new campaigns, I lost access to the ones I had already unlocked! I installed it on my iPhone 5S running iOS 7.0.6 and I got the same "purchase verification failed" message. I have only used one AppleID since the App Store's inception. This is the only, and I mean ONLY, game with which I've ever had restore issues. I was going to ask on the game's support site but I figured I'd ask here since most questions on the support site go unanswered anyway. Any help would be appreciated. Luckily, I didn't lose the $10 the All Campaigns Pack costs now but losing $6 or $7 on an iOS game still stings.
