Paint It Back - GameClub

On a whim I looked up this game again and was absolutely delighted to see it actually back! …however when checking its reviews and hearing about a subscription that delight faded away. For $5 a month you can play EVERY game club game to its fullest, but if you want to play just one, you’re completely out of luck, you can’t buy just one game like you could back when they were first on the App Store. If you DID own it you can contact them to get it back and people have actually gotten it back that way it seems! But personally, I never got a reply even saying my proof wasn’t enough from them. You used to be able to buy this game but now you’re forced to pay a membership even if this is the only one you care for. I hope they add a single purchase option because I understand having the old game offloaded not being enough proof, but I still want to play this game again like I used to.

It's really addicting and it's fun to play

I purchased this great game years ago but apparently now it’s cost $5 a month to play. They say previous owners will get full version doesn’t apply to me. Other review responses from developer say not all purchases will be eligible but that feels like an easy way to claim good business practices but have an asterisk that gets you out of it. Go play Konami Pixel Puzzle or any of the Luna Nona gram games. Also for what it’s worth the controls were not nearly as responsive and nice as most current picross games

Thanks now it’s 60$ a year once was free oh how the mighty have fallen

Like others have said, I purchased the original title which was removed from the App Store in favor of this version. I’ve reached out via Gameclub’s website and via email to try and see if I could have my access restored as they recommend, but after several weeks without a reply, I don’t have any hope of receiving one anymore. I’ve no interest in the other games, and no interest in paying 5 bucks a month for a game I’ve already purchased.

Congratulations on ruining a game! Used to be one of my favorites but so disappointed that I’ll have to delete it because the developers are greedy pigs.

as much as it pains me to give a 1 star review to this beloved game i've been forced to. 5 dollars a month to play this and it only lets you get up to the second room without paying. used to love this game but the subscription ruined it. pro tip: not every goddamn thing needs a monthly subscription.

Remember when you paid for a game and got to keep it? Bought a new phone, it wouldn’t let me keep the version I had downloaded years ago. Was mighty disappointed, this was one of my go to’s. Decided to look on the App Store, and there it was. JOY!! So I downloaded it, and started it all over again. Then after I finished the first 2 levels it won’t let me play unless I pay a monthly subscription? And monkeys might fly out of tookus!

I played this game over and over. I was so disappointed when I couldn’t get it on my new phone! But now it’s back… and subscription-only. That’s right, subscription. It’s not $5, it’s $5 every month! For access to this, and various other games which I don’t care about. Such a shameless money-grab! Subscriptions make sense for e.g. MMORPGs, where there’s an actual need to pay for servers on an ongoing basis. For anything else, they’re just blatant greed. They don’t care about players, they just want cash cows!

This game used to be great, you could play 4 of the rooms and then you had to pay to play more. Now, you can play 2 rooms with only very easy levels and then you have to pay game club $4.99 a month if you want to play more. Why do I need to subscribe when I can play for free on other apps?? I would pay a one time payment if I could play all levels but I’m not subscribing.
