I've been waiting for an update to fix a few bugs in Dreigit... and waiting... and waiting... I finally figured that the developer abandoned the game because you can't even find it in the app store anymore. So I found the developers website and found out that Atari is being greedy again.... Anyway, here's a line from the developer's website: "Please note: Following an email from a lawyer representing Atari, this game is no longer available." - http://www.craicdesign.com/ So...

Initially we chose a lower price for Frisbee Golf, http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=282860910&mt=8 And now with some puzzle games we are looking at the .99 cent price tag. However, as you say, some games are really getting beaten up for not being free - so it may make more sense to charge more to avoid being classified as a game that should be free, It's quite confusing to figure out what the best pricing approach is.

I will continue to update the game to deal with bugs and feature requests, and improve the control mechanism. BTW, "Dreigit" is Irish for "meteor" ;-) Thanks for saying nice things about my game, Dreigit.
