FINAL 2024 UPDATE: it looks like they finally removed the subscription requirement for people who already downloaded the older ver (find an old device with iOS 10 or earlier), which is why i'm now giving the app 2 stars, since recut got delisted from the app store and it's still the EXACT same game, even with some new bugs if you're playing on newer phones. you'll have fun if you played it before, but for everyone else, stay away.
as a guy that played the original game, this update is an insult to the game's legacy. TL;DR: i'm upset about how an ios classic can and would be treated this way. it's disgusting. while i'm happy this game is back, why the subscription? no one's gonna buy your garbage subscription just to play one game. it's a shame too because future generations will have to pay for a subscription unless they have the technical know-how to manually update the original 32 bit app. you're better off getting a 32 bit device and downgrade (more like upgrade) from this garbage. i'd much rather pay up front then pay for a subscription. you brought back a classic, just to disrespect it's legacy by locking it under a paywall. you people disgust me. these idiots don't deserve a penny. if you want a remaster, check out recut. it's made by the same devs of the original, and you'll be actually supporting their work unlike these sellouts which i can only assume they bought the rights to this game. if you're gonna lock this game behind a paywall, the least you could do is include a trial/demo mode.
