I don't recall seeing any ads in the game; could that be the difference?



No ads. No IAP. We didn't wan't to break the immersion or cripple the gameplay in a way that would encourage someone to buy an IAP.


> No ads. No IAP.

I just bought the game to thank you for no ads, no IAPs.

Have you considered a single IAP that does nothing, but gives you (and Apple, and the IRS) a bit more cash?


We thought about it, but the moment you do that, the game is marked as "offers in-app purchases". At initial glance (if you don't take the time to actually look at what purchases are available), you're left thinking that it's "yet another game that'll present a pay wall when I'm about to finish it".
