+1 - I agree! I've been playing without making any IAP's. The price of a new floor does increase with each level. My tower is currently 19 levels high and the cost for the next floor is $60,000 game money, which is a lot more than the first level. It takes much longer to extend to my tower now, despite earning more. I'm still enjoying the game, which I play for a few minutes every couple of hours. Although, if the cost per floor continues to increase at this rate, it could become off-putting.
Can we get a mod in here to delete the crap about IAP or move it to the price discussion thread? Every iOS gamer worth his salt knows that Nimblebit have the best track record regarding IAP in the form of Pocket Frogs, possibly the best freemium game you can play without spending a cent. No one spends money on that game; everyone loves it. Seriously guys, shut up.
Oh I'll piss and moan...this is the internet, and truthfully it's the only thing I'm good at...everyone needs to chill a little, we're all adults here (I think...). No one is insulting Pocket Frogs, I've never played it, but people seem to like it, I've never played anything by Nipplebit's, but people seem to like them. I hope its a great game, but hopefully we can all at least agree that IAP are a mixed blessing at best. No need to call for Mommy Mod to come make the bad people go away...
*looks at all the new posts on the thread.....* Did i start this? I totally agree with this comment IF you don't want this game because of the IAP then why are you even posting a comment? You wanna know why i called you cheap bastards? Because the devs like Nimblebit work like hell to deliver this quality of game and you guys grab the free vesrion and THEN say its crap because of IAP the devs want to make a living of it (which btw they deserve thx ...) Dude its not like if it take them 3 seconds to make an awesome game. I actually admire Nimblebit cause freemium with IAP is quite a bet...
Snipped some of your wall of text there - but it is ridiculous to suggest developers or the app store or anyone for that matter change their selling practices because there are some consumers that can't exercise self control. Turn off IAP on your device if you are worried about it. Whatever you do, this is the silliest argument against IAP that has been made. As to the point of this thread, I do not believe it is to debate what kind or what benefit or anything about IAP - it is about the game and game play. Nimblebit produced Pocket Frogs, a game I have been playing since it's release in September. Constantly. I bought ONE IAP. One. And it was for a speedy mailbox. Not consumable potions or anything. And it wasn't even that hard to do. They made all that stuff readily available, in Pocket Frogs case, in the pond in presents. Sometimes you get more than other times but by and large if you hop around you will find what you need. AND as you level up you get more in each present. I know a TON of fellow frog friends that are the same way. So anyone making a presumption about a Nimblebit game based on some other developer's rip off mentality is wrong. Plain and simply wrong.
+1 to those comments especially because the people that are moaning haven't even played it yet . So let's all comment when we have put some time into the game or if there that upset about it don't download it simple as
I don't think the tread is about the game anymore, its more between Pocket Frog fans, and people who don't like IAP...and me who's just trying to kill time and make a few jokes...
Because there are more than one way to skin a cat. So from here on out why not re-read your post and if it contains the words price, free or IAP consider not posting it. It does nothing to add to the game impressions. And likely will be moved to a garbage thread anyway so why bother? (I highly suspect my posts in response to all the IAP whiners will get moved right along with ya)
+2 But wouldn't it be great if everybody just respected their work+ IAP is a form of getting popular (most people only check the 'free' games) Btw just oppened TT and its absolutely AWESOME Keep going delivering this kind of high quality games Nimblebit
Try real jokes. You're making a huge error in implying that Pocket Frogs fans are acceptable of IAP. They're not, the game just implements it amazingly well. Practically all freemium games suck and Pocket Frogs players know this, Nimblebit knows this too so they created the exception. Anyway, for some genuine bad news... I'm also getting crashes. Immediately after install the game would instantly quit back to springboard the second it opened. After rebooting my device I managed to make it through the tutorial, but upon exiting and going back to the game I get the same bug as the other guy in here. "You've earned X coins while you were gone" followed by the game quitting to springboard. BUT... being connected to WiFi seems to solve the problem.
Just to point out I don't mean WiFi specifically, I think just being connected to the internet in general is the key.
Of course! Real Jokes! Okay...here we go heard this one a few days ago... A mother is in the kitchen making dinner for her family when her daughter walks in. “Mother, where do babies come from?” The mother thinks for a few seconds and says, “Well dear, Mommy and Daddy fall in love and get married. One night they go into their bedroom, they kiss and hug and have sex.” The daughter looks puzzled so the mother continues, “That means the daddy puts his penis in the mommy’s vagina. That’s how you get a baby, honey.” The child seems to comprehend. “Oh, I see, but the other night when I came into your room you had daddy’s penis in your mouth. What do you get when you do that?” “Jewelry, my dear. Jewelry.” Is that joke real enough for you? Or should my opinions of IAP be barred by you and the rest of the forum Nazi? Public forum, public opinion. My opinion, IAP suck, accept it, I'm not telling you to change your mind, play the game, build your tower, I'm just voicing my opinion...and pissing off people who really like Pocket Frog...but that wasn't my goal.
Honestly? Yeah they should, because it's borderline trolling now. You've made it clear you know nothing about Nimblebit or how their games work (good job on appearing uninformed and childish), so now you can leave. Your opinion remains there for people to read so you don't need to keep backing it up with this petty argument. Oh, and the joke was terrible. I hope it's not representative of your mental age.
Glad a read forward a few pages before responding to the anti-IAP militia. I completely echo Livett's sentiments. Nimblebit has established a track record of freemium done right. Knee-jerk reactions are for jerks.
Yeah I hope the thread gets cleaned up a bit, it's a shame to see so much moaning and whining by people who don't even know what the game is like yet. If they'd played it and it wasn't for them, fair enough, but this is just childish. The game is easily going to take off though, just as Pocket Frogs did. I think I can safely say this is another hit for Nimblebit On a brighter note, I've just noticed one of the achievements is for building 100 floors. Impressive. It's good to know this should last me a decent length of time. Edit: Aw nuts. I keep forgetting to restock my businesses and they end up closing... gotta keep on that.
Have you even played the game? The aim is to build a tower. With no waiting times you'll just keep clicking until it's finished. That shouldn't take much longer than 60 minutes max. Quit it with the Sim comparisons too, they all have waiting times for both construction and for businesses to make money. Even FarmVille has a few million players who don't spend any money on it, yet this is far more forgiving in comparison. The game is constantly offering you chances to speed up processes for free and there's more to do in the meantime. Perhaps the problem is with the gamer, no patience whatsoever. If you want a game you can play solidly, that's great, go find one. This is more of an occasional game much like those Tamagotchi's I mentioned earlier. I'm guessing now you didn't own one... were they before your time?
