Oh wow, I am pleased that their Halloween Skin Pack had risen so much. I admire 4J Studios for doing something like this, it would be wonderful if more game companies did something like this.

Vlif Nice! but they really need more skins like xSyNySteRx said there should be a `Creat Your Own Skin` thing

Hopefully they add that sometime soon, because customizable skins really give players a a better feeling of making the game their own, which is what lots of games try to shoot for.

I can't believe that many people bought it.
