maybe prize is 5-star hat??

My bet is something stupid, like probably a 60 gralat hat, plus a VIP voucher, plus 500 gralats. I'd consider an exclusive prize to be an old gst hat or towering hat, or maybe an old expensive extinct something. Or maybe 1 million gralats(like someone in this game lol.)

I actually checked the calendar to see if it's April 1st. (just 8 AM here... wasn't sure of date). That's kinda cheesy... and the prize will probably go to some random no-account noob with like 160 hours who will abandon the game after a month or two (like that dinosaur prize back at prehistory revolution).

On the plus side maybe they will release some '200k likes' style hat again.

OH and not everyone plays on iphones, guys.

you know the games bad when they can't get any positive reviews without an incentive attached to it

Agonee · 06-10-2017

Zedfox I'm rooting for you, great review!!

Unban my accounts and I'll set up a review bot. I'll throw in a billboard ad for free.

lmao. the bull**** begins at the word "updated" and just doesnt stop.

alexx · 06-10-2017

Lol the game gets updated so rarely that when it does, it hosts a contest to celebrate its massive achievement

Congratulations on your update graal!!

I'm pretty sure this is illegal by App Store's terms and conditions? Even if it isn't, kind of a horrible way to go about things - how about just make your game better if you want positive reviews?

I actually found something in the Apple Developer's Terms and Conditions (App Store Review Guidelines, Section 3.2.2, Part vi):

"Apps should allow a user to get what they've paid for without performing additional tasks, such as posting on social media, uploading contacts, checking in to the app a certain number of times, etc. Apps should not require users to rate the app, review the app, watch videos, download other apps, tap on advertisements, or take other similar actions in order to access functionality, content, use the app, or receive monetary or other compensation. "

I will only cite this. I won't say whether or not Graal actually broke the rules, because I wouldn't want my interpretation to be taken the wrong way.

About the contest overall... I think it's really dumb, considering the fact that the update was pretty small compared to updating the entire map, for example. It's also insane how the rating on the App Store for GraalOnline Classic+ moved from 3.5 stars to 4.5 stars in a day (I'd show pics if I had any from the time when it was 3.5 stars).

Edit: For anyone who wants to read the App Store Review Guidelines (especially Section 3), here's the link: https://developer.apple.com/app-stor...ew/guidelines/

I've downloaded apps that just say possitive review=10000000 gems on a gem or something along those lines and it's not real

Xenice · 06-10-2017

What if 2000 people made a review, or 500 which is still a lot. Are they actually going to read through all the reviews? I doubt all the reviews would be read ;(

Usually in games when that happens, it takes you to the store page but I go back on the app and I get my reward.

Tricxta · 06-10-2017

I heard if you report apps that break rules like this to apple they reward you with a prize better than a hat.
