Hanging With Friends' Coin Store Now Open For Business
September 20, 2011
Hanging With Friends' Coin Store is now officially open for business, which can really only mean two things: either you'll be spending real money to purchase new characters and balloons, or you'll finally be able to do something with all of those coins you've been hoarding over the past few months.
The Coin Store was first teased in an update that hit the App Store about a week ago, but only now is it populated with new items and the ability to purchase coins. You can access the store by tapping on the "Customize" button directly below your active games.
As of this moment the store includes a total of six new characters, which will set you back 500 coins each, and 16 new balloon types, which range from 75 coins all of the way up to 4,000. New items will be added to the store on a regular basis.
You can also purchase packs of in-game coins with real cash if you don't want to earn them by playing the game. Packs range from 70 coins for $.99 all of the way up to 5,000 coins for $49.99. Yes, you read that right. If you want to buy the most expensive balloon set without putting the time in, it would cost you a whopping $49.99.
On a different note, Zynga announced that Hanging With Friends is now available for Android. But why is this important, you ask? Well, like Words With Friends, Hanging With Friends is cross-platform, meaning you can play head-to-head with your Android-toting friends.
The ad-supported version of Hanging With Friends is available in the App Store for free, while the ad-free version is available for $1.99.
