    This game is very addictive and will save you a lot of money in the short term by missing out on other deals.

    Oh please try this if you haven't already. Really wonderful game.

  • Prongs on 13/12/2013 - 09:23

    Says free on the website but through the Amazon AppStore its normal price… Any ideas how to download?

    • Prongs on 13/12/2013 - 09:36

      Ah, worked it out - "Buy" through a browser on a computer first, then install through the app.

      • Domingo on 13/12/2013 - 09:41

        Getting a region restriction despite my 1-click address being in Aus when I try and buy through the website.

      • aml276 on 13/12/2013 - 13:17

        Prongs: If the app store didn't list it as FREE then I would assume you have a US account, so how did you then buy it ok from the AU website?

    So meta… a game dev, made a game about game dev.
    Can you make a game about game dev in the game about game dev? Whoa…

  • Thelastdoctor on 13/12/2013 - 09:30

      Why would you proceed with the purchase if it said $2.50?

      $2.50 is $2.50 - FREE is FREE

  • hippo2s on 13/12/2013 - 10:00

    can't figure out how to get it.

    I get not eligible to purchase this app.

    • Domingo on 13/12/2013 - 10:05

      Same. Have tried playing with a bunch of 1-click settings but I'm assuming it thinks I am in the US.

      • hippo2s on 13/12/2013 - 10:14

        I've tried changing it to either US or AUS, none worked.

    May want to add "Android Only" somewhere in your post.

  • Abaddon on 13/12/2013 - 10:19

    Thanks, that's awesome. Didn't know there was an Amazon.com.au

    Addictive game.

    Is Amazon.com.au new - what does it all mean?

    Is there a thread or such that discusses Amazon on Ozbargain - I really want to learn more about it - thanks

  • antzz on 13/12/2013 - 10:22

    biggest digital dope time wasting life wracking fun filling game

    • Mixhael on 13/12/2013 - 13:11

      I'm pretty sure that's World of Wacraft you're talking about.

  • chcse on 13/12/2013 - 10:22

    Thanks!! This is an amazingly addictive game.

  • hokonfan on 13/12/2013 - 10:27

    Amazon app not working on my android.
    When I click on the app it just close it within a sec.

  • uncyspam on 13/12/2013 - 10:30

    This is current 0.99 on iOS too…

    Not strictly related to game dev story (this link is about game dev tycoon), but for a laugh read this:

    http://www.greenheartgames.com/2013/04/29/what-happens-when-…

    "The cracked version is nearly identical to the real thing except for one detail… Initially we thought about telling them their copy is an illegal copy, but instead we didn’t want to pass up the unique opportunity of holding a mirror in front of them and showing them what piracy can do to game developers. So, as players spend a few hours playing and growing their own game dev company, they will start to see the following message, styled like any other in-game message:"

    "Boss, it seems that while many players play our new game, they steal it by downloading a cracked version rather than buying it legally.
    If players don’t buy the games they like, we will sooner or later go bankrupt."

  • neonlight on 13/12/2013 - 10:34

    Very good thanks!

    Seem that I have to create an AU account, doesn't work with US account.

    We could not process your order because of geographical restrictions on the product which you were attempting to purchase.

  • MrLeE on 13/12/2013 - 10:45

    I bought this game when I was hooked on it some time ago. Still love it!

  • SpaceNinja on 13/12/2013 - 10:51

    Amazon Au ?? Its a trap!

  • cumova on 13/12/2013 - 11:35

    i have a AU account, not for free.

  • sphere on 13/12/2013 - 11:40

    Also worth noting it's on sale for 0.99 on iTunes.

  • avocadot on 13/12/2013 - 11:42

    Great game but be prepared to waste a lot of time…

  • Pancake Lover on 13/12/2013 - 13:17

    Is this a freeium?

  • o z bargain on 13/12/2013 - 13:18

    From the website: "To change your country settings (for both Kindle and Android devices), go to Manage Your Kindle, and then click Country Settings in the list on the right side of the page."
    Via website not app.

    But, the free app of the day on the AU site (at approx 11pm) will be the same free app of the day on the US site the next day at approx 5pm.

    So, can just wait until this afternoon for game dev story on US Amazon

    • aml276 on 13/12/2013 - 18:24

      CONFIRMED - Now FREE on Amazon US

  • boab88 on 13/12/2013 - 13:23

    Wasted allot of time trying to get to the right app store. I'll wait for it to hit the US hopefully!

  • o z bargain on 13/12/2013 - 13:31

    There is a window between 5pm and 11pm where it will be on both AU and US Amazon. If at 5pm they have put a different free app on US for some weird reason then you still have the chance to muck around to get AU site to work

  • bigwoof on 13/12/2013 - 14:42

    Awesome - I finally set up my legit amazon account with the appstore to get this app.

  • Forfiet on 13/12/2013 - 15:25

    strange mines not a AU account and I grab both AU and US Freebies no probs….mmmm

  • Ronnnie on 13/12/2013 - 16:45

    I have both an Aussie and US account, never tried getting Aussie amazon app of the day for free on my US account.

  • I-like-cheap on 13/12/2013 - 18:10

    I had to delete this after paying a few bucks for it because it was THAT addictive.

    Great game but dangerous for me!

  • pongky on 13/12/2013 - 21:30

    I have a US account and it won't let me login as such… I guess I need to create a new one?

  • Xeirt on 13/12/2013 - 23:13

    Just wanted to add that this company makes heaps of awesome similar games, which all have amazing play-through ability even if you've played their others. It's also not one of those stupid freemium/pay2getcrapingame games! :) recommend checking out their other titles. Lol, marketing on behalf of them :P

  • VirIIx on 14/12/2013 - 09:00

    Can confirm it's free and working on the Amazon App that's US linked.

  • lostn on 14/12/2013 - 13:39

    Is Amazon going to have an AU operation soon or is it just digital goods?

  • smurfinaus on 14/12/2013 - 15:16

    I think Amazon has a AU operations now. They were looking for AU call centre staff (i know..i saw the jobs but werent sure they were bonafide)

    • lostn on 14/12/2013 - 20:41

      Are they actually going to sell physical goods? If they're going to have deals cheap like the US site, B&M are going to be in trouble…

      I love cheap stuff. Not much of a B&M guy myself, but I do understand the concerns people have about online killing B&M. I don't want people losing their jobs any more than I want to pay higher prices for my stuff.

  • smurfinaus on 14/12/2013 - 15:16

    And yes this game is freaking addictive :) :)

    Anyone recommend any of their other games?

  • zooter on 15/12/2013 - 20:33

    missed this one, had played the freeware version and it was nice
