I run a blogengine blog but I am getting bigger amounts of spam. I see u use wordpress, is it trouble-free to control spam with wordpress or doesn't it make any difference?

Nice quick games, with good replayability (is that a word?). Playing on the net is great. I just bought galcon after the price drop, and I think it's fantastic.

And if you don't like the $10 price point, don't pay it. EA and other big players don't get the message when people keep paying $10 and pushing their games in to the top 25. Awesome, more multiplayer victims. :D

Maybe eventually I would have bought it, but maybe it just would have gotten forgotten. Once it hit $4.99 I bought it. Had I paid $10 for it, in retrospect I probably would have been fine with it, but there was no way for me to know that ahead of time, not without a decent free demo available. So my question to the developer is, why didn't you put out a free demo? I still suggest you put out a demo. There are many who won't buy anything without one. For me that's true for pretty much anything over $5. I think it's rather foolish that the AppStore wasn't designed around demos in the first place - demos should be downloadable from the full app listing, and there should be a built in mechanism for purchasing and upgrading to the full version, including preserving game progress, high scores, etc, and removing the demo version.
