There are some but it's just extra worlds, the game is fully playable without buying them

That's exactly what I mean.

"Extra"... Not a fan of DLCs and all that junk at all...

I miss the good old times when the only thing that would top your freshly bought game were a deluxe edition or something like that... Those usually had no extra content, and if they did, you'd be able to buy it all in one. Simple!

This extra mini-purchasing, chasing for the 120% (extras, marketing say) to make a game really 100% (complete) in fact - aw man!

I can't stand in-app-purchases and the dependencies that come with it.

You can buy all the extra worlds for $2.98. I wish I could just up the price to $2.99 and not have to bother people with IAPs but the AppStore unfortunately doesn't work that way. It's incredibly hard to get people to spend $0.99 and borderline impossible to get them to spend more unless you're a big name company (I'm not). Pretty much the only way for indie devs to get sales on the AppStore is to keep the price free or $0.99 and use IAPs.

A cute little comic that explains this even better is this one: http://theoatmeal.com/blog/apps

I do know that many people don't care at all whether they end up paying 3 bucks this or either way, after they have purchased it.

Me however, I like my package all in one nicely fit together...

IAP always make me feel like... Miss out some app updates, later, waaay later come back to installing it again, trying to restore the purchases and ending up effed, because the app had been pulled (whatever reason), the purchase is not there anymore...

Now, with the all-in-one package, I'd have an outdated version, but complete... now, all that's left is IKEA furniture... You know what I mean :p

I simply don't feel comfortable about IAPs.

I know I'm in the minority of caring so much about preserving the integrity of my (later retro) purchases, but that's how I tick and that's all I claimed to state.

I see your dilemma and I know that I'm willing to spend more on a big brand App than on a possibly unrated indie App, however, I'd always fork out an extra buck to have it all in one package.

YES, I am paranoid. :p

*sigh*

IAPs... DIE!

or go with a dual strategy:

Free/Lite version + IAP

&

Full version

That's how many do it, that's my preferred way of making the compromises, (Y)

This is true... but, the majority of people do care. Also, there are a lot of apps out there where purchase are truly conditional. For example, I think some of the camera programs are a lot of fun to use (Hipstamatic, Instagram, etc), but I wouldn't want to own all of the lenses for them, nor would I want to pay $30 for the apps. There's definitely a middle ground for something like that.

On the other hand, a lot of the app store is basically the Gilette method: give away free (or, in the app store case, 99 cent) razors, charge for the razor blades.

Not looking likely so far... sorry :/

No worries, shame as looks an interesting concept. Hope you get the success and recognition for these.

Tangled (FREE)

That's more like it! (Y)

Might take a look at it quite soon.

I find myself going back to simpler games more and more recently.

Doesn't mean I don't enjoy the heavy games, but for a "quicky" a story focused game just isn't cutting it. ;)

Hmm, we can think of it this way, at least you know that if the game was crap, you didn't have to pay the whole $3 for it. If it was good, you go and buy what was necessary to complete it. Either way, you spend the same amount on a complete game. As long as IAP is not necessary to play the game normally, then i am happy.
