Jason Citron and his team have outdone Sega (Columns is rubbish) and EA (Tetris is rubbish) for FREE and people complain when they want to start making a return on their investment. To all those complaining about the price: if you think that games with this level of sophistication and artistry *should* be free, all you have to do is spend huge amounts of time and effort building something better than Aurora Feint. Then give it away. Fancy that? Didn't think so. I'm happy to pay a few dollars for a game if it helps a new talent to quit the day job and build the kind of games we all want to see. Unbelievable.

You know, it's amazing how short our memories are, that a few months ago everyone gasped in amazement that Aurora Feint was a free app, while the paid section was full of flotsam. Innovation and hard work deserves reward, and nobody can survive on praise alone. So come on guys, be realistic and show some support and respect - these guys were extremely generous in the first place. I agree completely with Philosopher.

Aurora Feint is easily the quality of any puzzle game on the DS and while people will pay $29.99 for a DS game, they balk at $9.99 for the iPhone. Quality games are expensive to develop. If you want good games to continue to be available, be prepared to pay for them. If you insist on free or $.99 games, then prepare for more of the shovelware that already is choking the iPhone. I, for one, would love to see the iPhone achieve its potential as a gaming platform that can compete with the DS and PSP.

To fully capitalize, you should have released this 1 month after The Begining, to catch those riding the wave of the original. Now folks have got bored, and have moved on, somewhat. you might have missed your own bus here.

There is no way in hell i'm paying that. I liked the first game for the first month of so that i had my iPhone but the game in it's entirety got very old and I stopped playing it. The price of this game is a joke. I applauded the creators for creating the original, a well thought out game, and making it free but charging a huge price, of which only the fans of the original will buy, is silly and disappointing. $9.99?

I am a fan of Aurora Feint and I hope this new game is a success, but with that first release I suspect the developer has trained their customers to assume their games should be free.
