How much is your game regularly? I don't have access to itunes right now.

I guess it the combination of such well written reviews with 5 stars combined with more 1 star ratings for a $20 app seemed fishy.

It would be very nice if there was a requirement for a review along with the rating so we could see what they didn't like about it, and maybe a separate rating for 'oops, I thought it was for something else' instead of a 1 rating.

The 1 Star reviews are pretty much from people who got it when I had my 99 cent sale this spring and bought it on a whim, with no previous knowledge of "rogue-like" games.

The graph for number of ratings in iTunes is hilariously symmetrical
