The Forgotten Shores of App Store Pricing

November 17, 2014

Last week, Ustwo, the developers behind Monument Valley, came out with an update that included new levels, but the levels were only available after a $2 in-app purchase. In response, lots of angry people bombarded Monument Valley with 1-star reviews on the App Store, complaining that the new levels weren't free.

I agree with the counter-outrage against these people. The idea that such a great game which takes so much work to make levels for can't then charge money for new levels is ridiculous. That said, Jason Snell has a good take on the subject, with a different perspective:

I think one can believe that people writing punitive one-star reviews of Monument Valley are acting like entitled babies while also pondering whether this entire situation could have been handled differently.

The new levels, by the way, are fantastic. If you don't already own Monument Valley, you should purchase it immediately. If you do, the Forgotten Shores expansion is well worth $2 more.

Restore hunt?

If you're switching from another device, you can restore your progress here.

If you found this randomly, I recommend doing the hunt yourself, but you do you.

(Just basic tasks?)

(Hard cube tasks too?)

(Here on accident?)

legend!

May your name be forever emblazoned on the Bonk leaderboard.

Truly, thank you for exploring this website.

Now go forth and make Easter eggs!

(Again?)

To do (as well) :

  • Solve the cube in 4 moves or less
  • Scramble the cube by at least 50 turns, flip it, and reset it (for more fun: solve before resetting)

You probably need a touch device for the rest of these. If you switch devices, long-press the Easter egg to restore your progress.

  • Make it to level 9 in Bonk
  • ?????????????
  • Make it to level 10 in Bonk
  • ?????????????
  • Make it to level 11 in Bonk

(Sick of this?)

(Miss victory?)

Congrats!
