LEGO Batman: DC Super Heroes

My 4 Year old son absolutely loves loves loves this game. Just purchased this app version of the video game and he literally was insisting that he had to play and complete the game. :) He already has the Lego Batman DC Superhero 2 for his wii console, also on his Nintendo DS 3D he has the Lego Batman DC Superhero 3. Now he adds to his collection the app for the iPad, AWESOME. I, myself must say I really quite enjoy the app. It's super easy to get the hang of it and figure out how to use the controls. I loved it! Thank you for an awesome video game app.

I bought this game for my son, he plays the game loves it and bought the characters and was about to finish the story of the game, but he let his friend play on a new game and now his upset that his game wasn’t saved but was replaced with the new game with out the characters that he bought so I try help him locate his game but couldn’t find it and he has to start all over, can someone have the game fixed so this doesn’t happen because I am not buying more golden bricks every time a new game has started. It’s a total rip off. If you want good reviews better start fixing the game. Honestly should have read the reviews before buying, lesson learned. Since I mentioned the reviews apparently you guys had this problem for three years now, why isn’t it getting fixed???

If I pay for a game, I expect to be able to complete everything without paying for in app purchases. You can't get one particular red brick unless you pay for gold bricks to buy it. Bad form. Also there's this issue where if you put the game in the background and open another program you risk the game resetting on itself, and with not enough auto save points you end up losing progress. The controls are okay, except when they respond in a manner in which you don't want them to, like running a different direction than you're dragging, or trying to cut the red bricks with laser and it getting stuck on a corner until you swipe 50 times.

Why does this game require additional purchases on characters that I paid to unlock? Is this a bug or a ripoff? This would be a great game for my son if it actually worked. We bought the game, bought some characters, but that’s not enough apparently. Now we have to buy coins to use the characters. I wonder what would happen if I bought the coins. Will the developers up the ante and require yet another purchase of some sort before the bought-and-paid-for character can be used? I’m not willing to pay to find out. Either fix the bug or quit being greedy and let your customers enjoy the product they purchased.

Buyer beware: I purchased a cave of 125 gold bricks for $9.99 for the game for my son. He used about 20 of the 125 bricks, and the next day, all of his bricks were gone and the characters he bought with the 20 bricks were locked again. Looking through the reviews, this seems to be a common problem. I submitted a help ticket to the developer and got an automated response that did not even remotely address my problem. I also did all of the troubleshooting schemes they suggested, but to no avail. I am submitting a request for a refund through iTunes. I’m not happy. Summary: the game is fine when you play it, but don’t make any in app purchases.
