My first thought before purchasing this was the premium edition is hardly a deal. You can remove adds for .99 from the free version and add 250 prestige points for 1.99. Those were the only features touted as making the premium edition better so I have trouble understanding why the premium version is 3.99. I bought the premium edition anyway to support the developer because there is a dearth of games of this ilk in the App Store and I would like to see more. However, my desire to support the developer not withstanding, I could see people passing on the game because of this pricing issue. I sincerely hope it was a mistake on the developers part and not intentional.
I enjoy the game. the mechanics are pretty solid, and I appreciate the addition of sandbox modes. I think the game is easily worth the price I paid.
I despise freemium content and refuse to support developers that make spending hard currency a necessity to progress. Thankfully, that is not the case with this game.
My major gripe and the reason this game is only receiving three stars, is my inability to listen to my own music while I play. This is an irritation in a dollar game: it's inexcusable in a $4 game. If developers putting out free games can include this capability, game developer putting out a premium game look lazy when they do not. Fix this and I will adjust my rating accordingly.
