Thanks for the game, I find it very cool and am having fun playing it. Here are the things that are annoying me in the game. Frankly, I'm a game programmer, not a game designer, so I will not tell you what to do, as it's clearly not my job, even professionally... however, I can give my insights. Do what you want with it.
- First games, you are "suggested" to turn the iPhone for some additional fun. It's not said it's actually required sometimes, especially in the tower.
- First time you are going to a smithing challenge, you shoud be told you can add more tiles by using 2 digits. I did not knew that, and had to redo the challenge 3 times. Then, I was finally told I could do this... Duh!
- Since we are grabbing our piece, we sometimes get the bad one, there should be some indication on the screen somewhere else that it's what we are getting.
- In the tower, I am having lots of problems since I am slightly color blind. Some pieces don't have a lot of indication other than the colors, so I have to triple-guess my moves. Every other challenges are perfect for color blind people, except that one. I can only frown thinking of real color blind people playing the game.
- I am regularly getting memory full bugs since last update.
And the real kicker (don't read if you want fun spoilers):
- I suddenly lost a lot of fun when I determined I could simply turn my iPhone left right up, as fast as possible while doing random interaction with pieces on the screen. I can get 5x regularly, I ace my challenges in less than 1/4 the time. That's the equivalent of a combat game's button mashing, and it shouldn't be better than my well educated games. Since pieces stop once a combinaison is made, and since pieces slide when I am moving things, and since I can move any pieces whenever I want, the combo is devastating.
That's it for now
Thank you again for the great game!
