Hey Adam,
It’s Jason Citron, one of the developers of Aurora Feint. You’ve made some very thoughtful commentary on Lite app versions. I’d like to point out that in Aurora Feint II: Lite, we haven’t crippled anything from our previous free game. We’ve actually added a ton of new features (profiles, walls, better buddy lists, six new in-game powers, cooler art, etc.). The unfortunate truth is that we need to pay for our server costs and salaries so we can keep AF running and bring you guys new games. And to do that we need people to support us by purchasing our games!
I hope that everyone will continue to enjoy our free games and that our ads will serve as a gentle reminder that we need everyone’s support.
Thanks for being thoughtful,
