But hopefully people won't hesitate to buy this gem now.

Today, Air Mail went on sale too to 99 cents and Lock and Loaded went free after a month. Seems like a trend, they never really did that before, but then again, most of their games they started off at 99 cents. But even though Early adopters will probably feel the boot, it is nice that Chillingo seems focused on low prices for their games which is good for consumers. Can someone please post on how good the game is? I for one usually don't like graphic story games too much, but this one looks great and humorous. Would you recommend it? But you know, I am a sucker for Chillingo games, I probably have almost all of them since they are usually a buck. This game is kind of big size wise, so that is more of my concern than the price. But knowing me, I'm sure I will end up buying it, because every Chillingo game that I have bought has brought me so much joy. Oh, and how many hours does this game take to solve? Thanks! metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,343 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #5 metalcasket, Jul 2, 2012 Roughly 15-20 minutes.

It wasn't really intended to be a feature film length (or even television episode length) experience, and attempting such would have been both insanely expensive and completely impractical from a gameplay point of view. Drummerboycroy Well-Known Member Apr 2, 2012 4,172 0 36 Clinician Maine! #8 Drummerboycroy, Jul 2, 2012 Yeah, although I feel a little guilty saying it, with the amount of games I own, and the challenge of freeing up space already? The game looks amazing, but 15-20 minutes? I might check it out at some point, perhaps when I get a new iPad...

GeekyDad Well-Known Member Jan 14, 2012 1,173 0 0 Games Journalist #10 GeekyDad, Jul 2, 2012 Yeah, I think the length of the game AND the size of it are hard to justify the launch price, regardless of how pretty it may be. That's not to say it's not worth the price, but it's just hard to justify for this platform. I won't even pay a buck for it, simply because it's just bigger than what I'm willing to make space for on my phone. Same with Air Mail, which I really, really want. Drummerboycroy Well-Known Member Apr 2, 2012 4,172 0 36 Clinician Maine! #11 Drummerboycroy, Jul 2, 2012 Well... I am a known fan of delicious esthetics...
