![]() Lessons to learn for all the big companies, I feel. People are still paying for the app, and many would much rather spend the initial 69p, than get a free app filled with ‘Buy Me.’ ‘Get me now.’ ‘You shall not pass unless you buy me.’ Where’s My Water 2 and Plants vs Zombies 2, in particular, have been the worst offenders, and both games have recognised their mistakes and changed their policies.Ĭut the Rope 2 has taken a more relaxed approach and I think that will be to its benefit. I’ve seen so many major mobile releases literally force micro-transactions on a player, ocassionally necessitating them to purchase something in order to proceed, and it’s not right. They’re not in your face, they’re subtle and cleverly done. ![]() Still, i’m going to go against the grain and say I like how ZeptoLab have added these in. This, of course, goes back to in-app purchases as once they’re gone, they’re gone and you’ll need to buy more. For instance, if you pop a balloon and you can’t move anywhere, you can actually use one of a limited batch of spare balloon on your candy or Om Nom and suddenly be back in the game. More can, of course, be purchased at any time.Īlso during levels, if you get stuck, you can actually get a limited run of additional items. Don’t work a level out straight away? The game offers you 2 free level solutions which you can use at any time. So, for instance, the game may ask you to just get two of the three stars.Īs you get deeper into the game, the much-lauded microtransaction model rears its head. Medals are also given for special challenges. This time, all factors are considered and time taken, stars collected and style are all counted towards final score. Om Nom’s eyes even glint if you collect all stars, and whenever he sees the candy coming in his direction, the monster goes a bit crazy and snaps outwardly with his jaws. The app has, of course, been optimised for iPhone 5. ![]() The graphics have significantly improved and that’s clear, even on a 4S screen. They’re more animated with twinkling stars and effects. The whole thing is crisper and the resolution is much sharper All feedback on this concept is welcome.Ĭrikey, the cinematics are much more animated.
