I can't understand how some people feel like the lost money because the game is now 3 bucks cheapier. If it was too expensive with the original price, they just shouldn't have bought it! My iPhone (16GB, 1st gen) dropped from 499€ to 4,95€ within three months. THAT'S a price drop! Am I angry? No. A bit pissed on the first day, yes, but not really angry. Because the device was worth the 499€ and I woudn't have bought it if I had the feeling, that it's overpriced. Do the same with software: Look inside you what you feel this game or developers deserves. And if it feels overpriced just don't buy it and wait.

That's not a sale, that's a price drop. I don't think it's really cool to do that, a lot of people may have rushed to buy the game with the expectation of getting in on a deal before it goes back up... But I guess we should just be happy with a lower price in general. Peace. Umm... the game is permanently $0.99. That's not a sale, that's a price drop.

If you could provide a bit more information maybe I can help you fix the issue. Have you updated to 1.02? After the app is installed have you restarted your phone? Are you on an ipod touch or iphone? Do you have any settings turned on or off that are not standard? Is your phone jail broken? Your additional information is greatly appreciated. We just haven't been able to replicate this issue beyond rebooting to fix it. If you'd like, you can email me at support@patternmakingco.com. Michael @youtap,

I really like the idea of supporting the "little guys" that over on the console and desktop side of things have been replaced with large, money-grubbing companies. Reminds me of the early days of computing, which were also the wild west. ;-) I just bought this, and I'm looking forward to playing it. Good luck with your company and future endeavors!

It's enough for me to know my Extra-$3 went to a small developer who is interested in customer satisfaction.

Let me first offer an explanation. The app store, for the moment, is the wild west. It's an old fashioned land grab. As you have seen all of us are feeling our way through the market. I think that in a few months you will see the prices stabilize. Sadly, early adopters always get burned with price fluctuations, buggy early builds, and shoddy production. Though it is the early adopters that pave the way for a market. I've personally lost quite a bit of money due to price changes. I can't speak for the rest of the industry and Apple has no refund process in place but if you want to email me at support@patternmakingco.com I think that we can arrange a way for me to give you back three dollars. Sorry for the sporadic pricing. Now that our lesson is learned our next release will follow a more stable pricing plan. Hello Customer053,
