Here are some screenshots of the game.
Love this game, it’s part strategy and part luck of the draw! I like that they are mostly quick little games that are challenging, keep you engaged, but don’t take up a whole lot of time. Only complaint is that I finally scored above 8,000 and it won’t update me on the leaderboard. Silly complaint, but what keeps me engaged is my rank, right now it’s only listing me with my score in the 3000’s, so all my strategies to get a higher score are somewhat pointless if I can’t go up in rank. Maybe just a small bug, but hopefully developers see this and check it out. Could also just be my account, but will boost to 5 stars when I can get properly ranked! ;)
First: this game is beautiful. The graphics are adorable and cute. The sounds and music are fun and well thought out. Unfortunately, the game is mostly based on luck. After playing for a very long time, I can take a look at my stats and see a constant distribution of scores over time — not an improvement. That’s not a failure to get better on my part — it’s the game. This SEEMS like a game of skill, and to a certain score level it can be, but it is largely controlled by luck. The gameplay “engine” / “AI” / “NPC” (whatever you want to call it) is super crummy and unforgiving. Maybe you’ll get four or five “1” or “2” cards thrown at you all at once, or a super high number card followed by a stack of low numbers. It doesn’t adapt to your gameplay or situation AT ALL. To make matters worse, there’s no game mechanics to help you out when you’re in a corner — no undo mechanism, no special moves… nothing. Not that it would need a special mechanic IF the gameplay “engine” was actually better. The developer seems to have abandoned the game too — except for showing up to cash out on an Apple Arcade deal — there haven’t ever been any updates… ever… at all… I’m terribly disheartened, because I want to love this game so much.
But can I play without the screen to sign my game — every game? Every game. I play offline I think that’s why it constantly asks. The games are over quickly. There is an added challenge of color tiles so games last about :90 seconds. Then add :15 or so seconds to swipe through the force sign-your-board screens, and then swipe through to get to a new game (called replay). It feels less like playing a game and more like (gasp!) work.
I how the game tells you the next tile you will get using the tiles color. But, the duration of each game/round are not long. My longest game was about 90 seconds long. The game is okay, as it is something to do. BUT!!!… the sound effects are just an absolute NO! I see a lot of other reviews mentioning how they can be turned off/disabled/muted. And yes they can be. BUT, that does not mask the fact that the sound effects are still annoying and a few sound very questionable. For example: Why is one of the sound effects of a person moaning?! Also, the sound effects obviously do not flow with the game at all, and some are uncomfortable and disturbing.
I like this game a lot. It looks great and the soundtrack is nice. I saw a few people complaining about the sounds, and I agree, but of course they can be turned off. A few things that would be nice to have would be a separate section for past scores, and an option to have most of the sound effects, but not the voices. I also noticed that I can’t seem to get the leaderboard to update. I’m not sure if this is a problem with the game itself or a Game Center problem. Anyways, thanks for making this!
It could be a lot of fun but this game is furiously frustrating. It’s really not worth playing. It changes it’s tactics in order to defeat you. If you’re into that before you start, you’ll have infinite hours of fun. It’s like you’re in the 12th round of a fight and you feel like you’re winning—just keep doing what you’ve been doing and then they put in a fresh fighter. Any time you have an advantage, it changes gameplay in order to beat you. Fun for a while but then feels like cheating. Try it, you’ll see—it’s inevitable.
I want the game to respect my device automatic dark mode switching and it is highly disappointing that this still hasn’t been fixed. It makes me not want to play it at night cause i don’t want to deal with getting my eyes blasted before changing themes
I have to admit, initially figuring out how to play the game was hard, but once I figured it out I couldn’t stop. I’ve never played with the sound effects on, so not sure why so many complaints about the sound. Just turn it off. Would enjoy being able to see the highest score someone has received!
The game looks great from the art to the music, however, the algorithm they use to place tiles does not make for great gameplay after reaching higher numbers. The board is constantly filled with ones and twos to the point where entire corners of the board are entirely one number, even if the player has been doing everything available to them. The total randomness, in my opinion, lowers the fun aspect of the game.
The game is fun, but I don’t like the interface. It’s super easy to fat finger a move and there’s no undo. And you can’t seem to just start a new game. So I end up swiping blindly to end the game just to start a new game. And I hate that it says “Retry” instead of new game. And the gallery of all your previous games. I feel like I’m being manipulated to jump through more hoops when I really just want to play a game.
