If I'm being super nitpicky I could point out that when you get a reward the animation for getting all the coins plays out a bit long. On the one hand I know you're trying to emulate the drawn-out reward of getting a jackpot, but I think you've overdone it just a bit. And maybe skipping the quests should carry some sort of cost with it.
But that's all I can really fault the game for. Great work, and keep it up.
P.S. - after writing this comment I came across a bug where after a match was made the pieces wouldn't fall and I'd be left with 3 empty spaces that would move around with the board. This resolved itself when I made my next match. I think it had something to do with de-focusing the game tab.
When I completed row of 3 swords or shileds I did not receive as much gold as the banner on the top says. Is it intended?
Overall, I think there could be great improvement into the RPG field by adding some new abilities/ powers. I think the genre mix is fun and it has a lot of potential. Keep upthe good work!
I was thinking i would not play it because it's like casino and it has no strategy but i took time to find out if some patterns were readable and no :D.
The end screen with scores showed 0 at every tile but i got rid of a lot of tiles during the game so i guess it's not working correctly.
I don't get why you added the word RPG in game description.
I didn't understand if I have control on something or is just luck and what the difference between Life and shield
It's a interesting mixed theme, and a cool idea, just add more feedback on your mechanics
No.
But it's well made, and it deserve a correct notation. So yeah, if we except the frustrating aspect, it's pretty good.
There is a funny bug and I found it because of the slow money pay out. I wanted to skip it and I pushed the skip button - if you press the skip button during rewarding, you can easily suck out all of the money :).
Not sure if I was just lucky, but once I understood the game (I did without reading the instructions... but thats a good thing in a way) Losing seemed a bit far fetched unless things get much harder(seems like they did a bit). You can spin "smartly" to maximize your odds. Spins are a bit long as is reward obtention, especially due to the repeat nature of the game. Spins also clearly don't cost enough.
This might seem like a lot of criticism, but thats only because I see a **great game**. Throw in better progression and extra balancing and youv'e got a winner!
Keep it up!
