Originally i had the bundle but then just changed to just Sturmwind. Im been optimistic that maybe it takes this long to arrive. However with no communication who knows maybe they ran out who really knows. I figure give it another day or two right now i have opened a Pay Pal dispute that i will escalate to a claim. Perhaps jumping the gun but since they arent communicating i figure its the best option. Crossing fingers.. :?

was stuck on 3-1 boss (Normal Mode) for a while, but beat him last night. And powered thru several more levels tonight. 3-2 was a beast, and the creepy oldman head boss was tough and I didn't think I'd make it (was on last life, last weapon - your 3 weapons are also your 3 lives) but after him it was sort of breather the next couple levels. Oh, and everyone's favorite kracken is a pushover once you know his pattern. I'm like 4-2 or 4-3 or something now, which is just a bossfight against a blowfish.

Question for anyone else who got their copy - have you seen any of the bombs around? I seriously have never seen one, so end up with only one bomb per credit it seems. Very weird, I must be missing something. Maybe the bomb is something I think is a bullet and am avoiding?

Still waiting for my copy too guys :| . I ordered back in June of 2012, so almost a year ago. Guess I should've waited, as it looks like you're screwed if too much time passes for paypal to help you get money back.

I DO think that it's very odd that no one got a confirmation that the game shipped (from Red Spot Games); and while annoyed, I haven't given up hope yet. I'll let you guys know when mine gets to me.

I've heard (a rumor?) that you Kickstarteers are getting yours later cuz of whatever extra shit you're getting is slowing it down. Who knows how true that is though. Lesson learned: it's nice to back these games, but yeah... probably wiser to wait and purchase later if you want to play them sooner unfortunately.

I've said prior though, I honestly hope the experience doesn't sour anyone on the game. The customer service of Red Spot should be viewed differently than the development by Duranik, cuz Sturmwind is honestly a fantastic release.

I think play-asia got more copies it says they are in stock, though my order from may 6th still hasn't shipped yet and it says preparing order. Hopefully this turns out well >.>

Wait... So Play-Asia got their copies in before anybody else, then people who ordered from Play-Asia got their copies before people who ordered from Redspotgames directly, and now Play-Asian has restocked before we have received our copies from Redspotgames?

I was trying to keep my mouth shut, but I call bullshit. They will be receiving an email from me as soon as I get off of work. Although, I doubt they'll even read it based on what everybody else is saying. I seriously should have ordered from Play-Asia, but I thought I'd give them a chance and support the guys who made Wind and Water Puzzle Battles while I was at it.

Never again will I order straight from Redspotgames, or support them directly. Retailers will get my purchases from here on out.

You have only yourself to blame for making your purchase via RSG. They are slime. Simply one shit turd of a publisher who makes excuses and take zero responsibility for their actions. I really hope Duranik splits all ties with them after this fiasco for their own sake.

I realize this, but I thought I'd put in my two-cents as well. I admitted my mistake, even after reading all the negativity. Just saying it will never happen again.

EDIT:
Also, the only reason I ordered from them was because I couldn't bundle Wind & Water on Play-Asia.

Argh... typo. I CouldN'T order Wind & Water.
I would have ordered from Play-Asian if they still had it in stock.

Maybe I should have just kept my mouth shut and let everybody else do the bitching. :lol:
