Now they have a free version for a demo and a 5.99 price point. It is completely worth it and I am sure you won't regret it at all. It is by far the best traditional platform game available in the app store and may fill the void in your gaming heart that mario took by not being in the app store.

So you can hold the ipod like you would with a gameboy, with both of your thumbs on the screen for left/right movement, which plays a lot better.

Fun to play, not as easy as I thought. You really have to use your brain on some of the levels. I'm on the third section of the game(each section has 14 levels, and then 2 bonus levels). I really like that each section so far has Archibald using different features. For example. In section 1 it's just him and the skateboard. Section 2 you use the bubble. And now in section 3 you use a maintenance pod. Like someone said up ^, if you divide the price of the game by the number of levels, then this game is well worth it. And don't forget, 48 more levels coming soon. Thanks Rake for a great game. Well, I took the plunge and bought this app. This has got to be one of the best games I ever bought on any platform.

People were amazed they could sell hamburgers and fries so cheaply. But they realized that by volume, they could make a profit. It certainly is the discretion of the developer of the games to set their prices. My intent was to give them feedback from a single consumer's point of view. I was not aware there was a "lite" version, and might grab it to see how I like the game. But even if I like it, I still don't know if I will buy it due to the ill feelings I have towards "expensive" games. I know it sounds ridiculous, but the environment that other developers have created makes it touch for even a good game to seem worth a higher price in comparison. This is no fault of Rake in Grass, it's just what the marketplace has become. spiffyone, my mention of the McDonald's business plan goes back to the original McDonald brothers that started the chain.

Feature a hip kid on a skateboard tied in with a famous brand bubblegum. A good game but also one big advertisement. I wonder if you could of made that extra money spinning the game that way and got a big name company to support you :) This makes me think it could have been an original Nintendo game back when I was a kid.
