A tutorial?

[Pirc]

Hello,
first of all: Your game ist great, really great! (If there will be a paid version, I think I'll buy it( maybe this is also your marketing-strategy, however))

I miss(ed) a tutorial! How do I play the game? I didn't know that I can pull new stones while mining, and waited, pretty annoying.
Well... that's it, just an explanation of the game.

Thank you for the great game.

Sometimes you do get tips like "Turn the screen for a twist in game play!" Or "You can use 2 fingers to drag up the stones!" or something..

I never got such a tip... i learned it through the video on the main-page. Additionally i still don't know how I use my abilities. My Dreameater is on level 4, but I can't use it, 'cause I don't know how I can do it.
Such things should be explained in my opinion.

Abilities don't work yet. Read some of the other topics to find out why..(The mods really explained that a LOT of times)

[Pirc]

I already saw that, but after my last post, I didn't want to double post because of that .
Let's hope for a soon update...

I'm getting a bit off topic but, if you're gonna post this many times, why not register while you're at it? (So you can edit...)

[pirc]

Why should I register?

I also thought about registering, you tipped the balance.

From now on I'll edit of course! ;D

I don't know about the poping blocks, bu with two fingers you can pull out new block lines while mining, just move with two fingers up from the bottom of your touchscreen.

[fishey]

"popping" blocks just means breaking them, nothing special.

Oh sweet. I never got that hint about two fingers. That will come in real handy when trying to build a blueprint in a given time limit and I'm waiting for "just one more moon" or something.

So, not that this is exhaustive but I thought I'd start a list people can build on or sticky or something.

1 finger - drags a stone to the left or right, dropping them down if they don't sit on top of another stone
2 fingers - drags up the stone layers
flipping phone sideways in either direction or upside down - lets stones fall in that direction and lets you slide them in a different direction

I did get the hints but there's still a number of things which are unclear. There's a sense of discovery in learning these things one at a time, but it'd still be useful to have some kind of tutorial.

There was an explanation of the game in the game code but a glitch wiped it out. Sorted in the update out today.

Yeah, wait for the update, some extra tutorials are supposed to be added. There is also an intro video that is supposed to give some extra information into the game. Hope that helps.

I hope it explains EVERYTHING thoroughly.
