Graphics are sharp, gameplay is fun but challenging and short for mobile. Can be played with one finger for sure, but I have to say, especially on IPad i prefer two. I really like it and might pay for IAP. IAPs are only for removing ads and a coin trippler (!). I hear a lot of people liking those so go get em' The coins are only for aesthetics as far as I know (?) so no biggy. Ads are bit intrusive as you get them after you've died twice (I am dying around score 50) and it feels a liitle bit much (after 5 deaths would be enough I think). Also I would really like 2 things: 1. I would like the ability to turn my IPad 180 degree and rotate the game so my loading cable does not get bent during charging. 2. I would like different color pallet patterns/arrangements because those 4 in a box things are not for me. 3. Lastly I would love a better screen usage of the Ipad with no black bars on the sides. I really do not like those. Overall I definitely recommend it. Controls are sharp, Gameplay is fun and I am already second on the world, go get me! (you sure will ) Edit: Detailed IAP Info, as many of you like this: 1. Remove Ads + Reward Videos ( they are in for free, watch a video after you've died to get 30 coins). 2 Euro 2. 3x Stars + Future Content Unlocks. 2 Euro (Yup no typo!, I guess early supporter kind of deal? but no mentions on what content is to come yet!). 3. Remove Ads + 3x Stars + Future Content Unlocks + Reward Videos (see above). 3 Euro (% sign so some kind of discount is in). Relatively poorly explained on what's to come etc. but seems ok. The thing that I would like to know is, if there is everything in the 3 € IAP that will ever come to the game etc. basically an all in one deal? The IAPs should be better explained in the shop also. Ingame character "skins" (play as a star, a bear etc.) do cost 20+ stars, i can't seem to access the later ones, before i've unlocked the first ones so yeah idk what is up there. cplr Well-Known Member Feb 15, 2011 468 0 0 #5 cplr, Jun 23, 2016 Wow, way to rip off the color scheme of twofold inc. I'm pretty sure those are the exact same RGB values...

Stronsay Well-Known Member Aug 6, 2015 948 204 43 #7 Stronsay, Jun 23, 2016 I think the previous two posters must be mistaken. I could be wrong but I'm fairly certain that, irrespective of RGB values, the colours white, yellow, blue and red have never been used in any previous game. unexpect3rd Well-Known Member Dec 7, 2011 369 2 18 Mobile Game Developer (Fulltime as well as indie) Singapore http://www.unexpect3rd.com #8 unexpect3rd, Jun 23, 2016 hey ya forsakenxe! thanks for trying out the game! Interstitial at after 3 game overs, i personally think it's pretty fair, given it is not hard to get to scores of >50 which means each game can last quite a fair bit of time. 1. This has always been a major technical issue for me. I'm handling all the stuffs on my own, so giving rotation support and responsive UI layout could mean a lot more development effort than its worth. And that extra length would meant the game will have a different difficulty and can lead to balance issues. 2. hmmm, I had considered different color themes, but my color scheming is horrible so needs more time. "Pallet patterns/arrangement"? I will need a bit more clarity on that, different patterns instead of colors? 3. Same issue as i mentioned in the second half of point 1. But for this case, I'll see what I can do about it, no guarantees. I admit, I lifted the color scheme off two folds. I am sorry if that offends anyone. I'm a programmer, but I do what I can or need to to make my games look better than what I would have produced with my own level of artistic skills. I have expected this to be noticed, especially when I decided to post this game in TA forum. forsakenxe Well-Known Member Oct 23, 2014 709 0 16 #9 forsakenxe, Jun 23, 2016 Hey there dev, sorry for not explaining what I meant in detail: I mean the pattern of the colors you press (white, blue, red, yellow). Maybe you could make a line of those instead of a square or other "patterns" with them, so we can customize where we have to click in order to activate them. I would like to see that unexpect3rd Well-Known Member Dec 7, 2011 369 2 18 Mobile Game Developer (Fulltime as well as indie) Singapore http://www.unexpect3rd.com #10 unexpect3rd, Jun 23, 2016 Oh, that could be an interesting option. But I may have to sacrifice button size to make space for more "possible placement spots". I'll keep it in view for a later update, if worthwhile.
