Comments on: 'Treasure Grab' - Put Your Sticky Fingers to Work http://toucharcade.com/2009/07/23/treasure-grab-put-your-sticky-fingers-to-work/ ... keeping in touch with the latest in iPhone gaming Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:14:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: EatKodosDaily http://toucharcade.com/2009/07/23/treasure-grab-put-your-sticky-fingers-to-work/#comment-30431 EatKodosDaily Fri, 24 Jul 2009 18:48:23 +0000 http://toucharcade.com/?p=14087#comment-30431 I bought this on your recommendation alone. I can't say I regret it. The only thing I find odd is the pacing. Some of the dialog seems a bit too brief and hurried. I don't feel like there was any proper introduction to the game/story. I think the controls work quite well. And that person complaining about a price of $3 needs a serious reality check. Perhaps they should look at the price the lousy games sell for on the consoles. About $30. This is a quality game that you're getting for 1/10th the price of the discount titles on other systems. I bought this on your recommendation alone.

IF there was some "friends list" (not a facebook/twitter thing), but more of a live/psn/steam friends list, i would mind trying to beat high scores just to show off. but as it is, online leaderboards don't appeal to me word on that, i couldn't agree more...

I will get it for that reason alone. Mobigame was well ahead of the curve in terms of touchscreen control design. A good virtual D-pad is difficult to find. I have suggested this style to many developers and only one actually fixed the static D-pad. I hope the Commodore 64 emulator is still a possibility because Manomio also realized the benefit of a "drop anywhere" design.

But this video really hooked me. :-) Cool music, nice visual and looks all polished in its own way. Yet, the price. If it's on sale I will get it. As for ranking I am not a fan of it. Just sucks to see me down at the bottom of the list and it is totally not motivating. Especially if I spend quite some time with the game -- just to find out I am still pretty bad. I rather collect all achievements from the game, complete all mission and challenges, in order to feel rewarded. So I am usually all negative about most games.
