Skins on Mobile Version ~Warning~

[Lord Treant]

I know this is the steam forum, but figured I'd rant anyway since I play both versions, and possibly someone else may also play both versions. So to avoid making the same mistake as I just did... I will share my rant.

I have no problems purchasing autoclicker skins as DLC and paying the extra $10 for an autoclicker and skin. I have already purchased all of them on Steam so yes I do support this developer. However.....

On Mobile version, I went ahead and spent 1500 rubies (that's approximately $15 so yeah its marked up first of all on Mobile) and then went ahead and bought one of the skins thinking I would get an autoclicker as well. Nothing to suggest otherwise since hey DLC on steam gives skin + a autoclicker... Well obviously the markup wasn't enough. For a whopping 1500 rubies on mobile I got just the skin and no autoclicker...

Soo don't make the same mistake and get ripped off as I did. There is also no warning to it just being a skin, and possibly the only way you will know is by word of mouth. Which is what I just did here.

Happy Gaming.

Edit 12/17/16:

Above is my original post, for sake of argument I will not sugar coat what I said. I was upset at the time... So leaving it intact... However I do acknowledge Froggy's point most rubies are free so I can't really put a price tag to them, in my case however I did spend real cash. I have also changed the topic title - to remove the "Ripoff" - since it was also my own assumptions, that the skins would include the tapper, because the clickers do on steam version.

There is a happy ending to this story though. Playsaurus was nice enough to refund the 1500 rubies I spent, which I respect and they were not obligated to do. However, I would still like to see a small disclaimer, added to skin purchase screen in a future update.

So til then just be careful if you play both versions, know the skins are just skins and no extra tappers/clickers added on mobile.

Happy Gaming.

another reason to not play anything seriously on mobile..

Yeah, I do like the auto clicker on mobile a lot. Since there is a 31 tap limit even with energized clickstorm, on most phone models to begin with, so the extra 10 help my fingers. I also like to play on the go, but to see them do something like that is disheartening.

I mean the extra $5 ok I could suck it up ,but just a skin and no autoclicker is a bit harsh. Especially if the next Autoclicker upgrade was same price... but I figured get the skin. Bad choice on my part, but shame on them for not having a warning or disclaimer that it is just a skin no clicker added.

Always read about what you will buy.

Guess you didn't read the post fully, there was nothing to even read on the purchase screen, and no warnings stating it would be just a skin. The skin was purchaseable in game for 1500 rubies. Since they can't offer DLC on mobile, like they do on steam the purchase is done in the game itself. On steam the skin unlock dlc add an autoclicker. On mobile they don't it just unlocks the skin.

So my post here, was to warn others not to make this same mistake and be uninformed.

Well in my case I purchased the rubies but thats a moot point. Also there was nothing to imply that it didn't include one. Especially when the skins icon is in the same box that says +1 Auto Tapper - 1500 rubies. You click the icon it takes you to the skins that says unlock 1500 rubies. Yeah misconstrued but its an easy mistake to make.

To be fair, 1500 rubies on the steam version is over a hundred dollars at the very least. :)
So, be glad you only lost $15!

This does seem like they need to refine the description a bit.
I would be annoyed too if I thought I was getting one thing, and didn't get it.

Yeah, I am well versed in making stupid Assumptions.

Yeah thats because prices are inflated on mobile. A quick ascension is 500 rubies. Its generally 100 rubies per $1 on mobile. For $9.99 you get 1150, and for 4.99 you get 550 with the respective bonus.

I'm just gonna chalk it up as a loss anyway. Just wanted others to be aware.

Editing topic title, and adding to original post to reflect changes in my opinion. Thank you Froggy and sorry I was upset at the time of the original posts. I will refrain from a fresh angry rant next time.
