Cheers beebar Active Member Feb 18, 2013 43 0 0 student #4 beebar, Feb 5, 2014 You know what, when i first saw this contest, I thought like: "Pffff easiest contest ever, I gonna make a lot of perfect stages" But when I took my iphone and started to do this, I was surprised by how tricky this game can be. I just was trying to master very first stage over and over again, but that was super difficult for me to reach the 'Perfect stage' even at this, easiest stage in the game. But i was not planning to give up so soon. I played for hours(actually, about 3 or 4 hours) on my iphone. My plan was: just play trough game over and over again to master my skills, then it would be easier for me to make 'Perfect Stages' And i reached very last stage of the game(unfortunatly, didn't beat it ) And then i realised that I'm ready to make that stages on perfect! ( 1st photo on collage) I was never been so wrong in my whole life)) Even with the fact, that I have played the game for about a day by that moment, the best result i achieved was 'Perfect Stage' on Stage 0. Which is not so hard, in my opinion. (2-nd picture from collage) On the next day, I thought that I must change my strategy And i decided to try the game on my iPad, hopefully game is universall, so that was not a big problem for me. After few hours of gameplay on my ipad - I became a true Wizard ) Actually, I have just mastered two stages in a raw - that was absolutely crazy for me, because I have been playing for hours and that was really hard to make it. (3-rd and 4-th pictures from collage) So, for now, I did 2 'Perfect Stages' in a raw, which was super hard for me I will think about making my results even better sometime in a future, but for I now, i just need some rest) By the way, thank you very much for such opportunity to participate in contest of the best Wizards of toucharcade (5-th picture from collage) Best wishes and good luck for everyone!

Really love your write up and sharing your Journey to become the Greatest Wizard..haha FISHTASTIC !!! Thanks for sharing, and Thanks so much for trying so hard and playing again and again ! We love it !! I think on iPad it's a better play personally ! Feel easier and more relaxed then iphone ! But yeah,you did really well I must say ! Screens looks Super Sweet ! Please do not forget you can TAP coins to collect ! I have a couple of questions: What wand did you use ? Did you try Quick Detonator or Swipe wand ? and if so,how did you feel about them ? I saw you have around 1684 StarCoins on 1 screen,how did you spend them ? About Difficulty: You wrote a couple of times it was hard,could you tell me what the main difficulty in Wizards is for you ? Getting the sweetspot right for PERFECT tap ? Is it clear enough when to Tap & Swipe them ? Is the moment too short to hit them on PERFECT ? Do you feel we could make the game on "EASY" easier ? I personally played the game too often and it is hard to find it difficulty on any setting anymore,sadly !!! I feel,as soon as you are using the SWIPE,or the SWIPE & TAP Wand it gets pretty easy to get them all ! I would like to reevaluate the difficulty settings, and adjust them, make it more easy,or enjoyable if its to hard for u guys ! We can keep Normal and Hard for harder challenges.harhar Would love to hear some more feedback ! Any suggestions ? Thanks Beebar for taking on the Challenge,you are right up there with the greatest Heroes of Wizards ! Locomalito,Javie Jr,Toto,Mr.B and even Master Walch are very pleased and proud of u!

Game Desig China http://www.pixelcrusaders.com #6 WizardsTMC, Feb 6, 2014 Thanks majiktrip for your interest ! Sadly no promo codes there right now ! beebar Active Member Feb 18, 2013 43 0 0 student #7 beebar, Feb 6, 2014 Hey! I just replied about difficulty in game's main thread. Whats about different game stuff, i just used during challenge, I did tried to use "Quick Detonator", that was cool, but then I realized, that I'm already got used to hanging stars Quick detonator is good enough for tricky situations, when its half a hundreds of stars at the screen, and you really need to clear the screen fast. But, as far, as i liked the firs wand more, I switched back to that soon . Actually, I haven't tried swipe wand, because that were easy for me to tap high amount of fireworks at the screen(that circles and lines I loved them!) i'm planning to try all the wands in a future, because a do have a lot of star coins for that I'm planning not to spend that 1700 star coins for now, just thinking to collect them for the final wand "tap and Swipe" WizardsTMC Well-Known Member Nov 17, 2013 87 0 0 Creative Director,A man with many hats. Game Desig China http://www.pixelcrusaders.com #8 WizardsTMC, Feb 6, 2014 Yeah I saw your feedback on the main thread ! Awesome,and Thanks a lot for that ! We are already testing here a couple of ways to improve it even more !! And I totally know how you feel,I find my self always getting back to Tap & Wait wand too !! Just on later stages it gets to Crazy !! 1700 is not bad,you can double that with the Starcoins wand faster ! But no wait time Looking forward to hear any news after u tried them all ! Have a great day m13 Well-Known Member Feb 5, 2011 1,622 7 38 http://iosdevelopmentandbetatesting.blogspot.com/ #9 m13, Feb 7, 2014 stage 0 - Maple Branch stages 0/1 - The Argus Thanks for a challenging contest! Here are my thoughts. The gameplay is quite fun and exciting. One thing for sure is that easy mode is not easy to get perfect stage. Some confusion I tried hard mode once and stage 0 did not feel much different than easy mode. To cater to casual gamers and therefore increasing your potential audience, you should perhaps make easy mode easier by making it easier to tell when you will get a perfect hit. I have only unlocked The Argus wand. It seems that I get one or two less hits per stage using The Argus compared to Maple Branch. I have no idea if moving the wand from side to side with tilting does anything to the gameplay. FYI: One time I returned to the home screen and all my progress (stars/achievements) was lost. Thank goodness that has not happened since. WizardsTMC Well-Known Member Nov 17, 2013 87 0 0 Creative Director,A man with many hats. Game Desig China http://www.pixelcrusaders.com #10 WizardsTMC, Feb 7, 2014 Last edited: Feb 7, 2014 THATS FISHTASTIC !!!!!! Awesome Video and Concert Performance there M13 !! We love it ! Thanks so much ! It's really sweet to see you playing. Which screen recorder did you use to catch that ? I guess some other users would like to try as well ! About your suggestions: Easy still too Hard We heard you, and we Appreciate your suggestions and impressions,this is good constructive feedback ! Thank you ! Over the last view days we heard a couple of times that the gameplay is hard even on easy! And we listen ! We already Balanced the timer for hitting a PERFECT on easy, and you have now a bigger time window to get it ! We also are testing a couple of graphical effects to give the player another "tell" of when to hit the Firework besides the white smoke screen that acts as a Fuse ! Look out for our new update !!! Difference between Difficulties : In the Current build the only differences are - PERFECT and GOOD are giving less energy to your AUDIENCE BAR - the energy loss you suffer by MISS and POOR is bigger ! - Audience Bar on top of the screen depletes faster We are changing this right now and working on it: - So the different Difficulties will have different FIREWORK LEVELS & FORMATIONS !! This means Faster Action and more Challenging Combos ! So each Difficult will be a completely new challenge ! The Argus wand It should be the same HIT's as the Maple Wand. Any more clues ? But we will look into it and play test it one more time! "About Tilting" To your Question of: " if Moving the wand from side to side with tilting does anything to the gameplay." The answer is NO ! The only thing TILTING your device does is: 1.)it MOVES the BROOM,so you can collect StarCoins and nothing else! 2.)For eye Candy,it moves the background Parallax Layers for a fake Graphical 3D effect. Moving your finger across the screen with having the SWIPE WAND will change gameplay from TAP to SWIPE MODE ! With that some Formations are a lot easier to deal with ! Especially on Later stages you will need this to get COMBOS of 16 or Higher as Cut through them in one Stroke ! The last WAND in Wizards that you can get "Demons Bone" combines all WANDS into 1,The TAP & SWIPE Wand! One Wand to Rule them all..so to say ! Sorry to hear about your lost Progress the one time. Can you specify what you did before that happened ? It might be a rare bug we haven't discover ! We never had this problem before with all testers ! We will look into it ! As for now ,we are working to implement iCloud functionality as well, so you can save your progress between devices ! So nothing like it can happen again ! We are also looking into some other ways to save progress ! We keep you updated ! Again,Thanks a lot for all your constructive feedback M13 ! We are working on it,and you should have a new better build in your hands ! Cheers PS: You Missed a SECRET TAP that glowing light Circle for Mister"ONE TAP HERO" m13 Well-Known Member Feb 5, 2011 1,622 7 38 http://iosdevelopmentandbetatesting.blogspot.com/ #11 m13, Feb 7, 2014 I had One Tap Hero secret before the game reset itself. I have no idea how I got it. Now I have Manpfi and again no idea where that came from. Truly a secret! WizardsTMC Well-Known Member Nov 17, 2013 87 0 0 Creative Director,A man with many hats. Game Desig China http://www.pixelcrusaders.com #12 WizardsTMC, Feb 7, 2014 They are hidden in the background ! You can see the glow aura around them as in your video ! Most are more obvious then "ONE TAP HERO" or "Manpfi" ! You recognize Secrets by the light and glow aura surrounding them !

I just want to make sure which difficulty should I choose if I'm going to participate? Reading the posts above, I think it would be fine if I choose EASY? Goodluck to everyone! WizardsTMC Well-Known Member Nov 17, 2013 87 0 0 Creative Director,A man with many hats. Game Desig China http://www.pixelcrusaders.com #14 WizardsTMC, Feb 8, 2014 Yeah,any difficulty is ok ! Easy,normal or hard ..all is fine !!! And yeah Welcome to the Challenge zdn1042!! Can't wait to see and hear what you got ! PLEASE,everybody is welcome to take part. Cheers zdn1042 Well-Known Member May 10, 2013 642 0 0 #15 zdn1042, Feb 10, 2014 Last edited: Feb 10, 2014 Wow, this is really hard. I've completed Stage 0 with PERFECT score quite a few times, but for the other stages, it's gets really tough. I just bought the best wand - Demon's Bone and I still can't do it. I really like the swipe controls though I might need to adjust to using it a bit. Things I really like about the game - the visuals and effects are really pretty. It's really neat to see all those colors and lights exploding at the screen. The character Javi (which is quite close to my name) is awesome and funny. The use of tilting to control the broom to collect coins is quite cool. I've played for a good 4-6 hours total. And the farthest stage I've completed is Stage 9 (I think) where a swipe wand is necessary to finish it. (Can't wait to try my Demon's Bone wand later!) I've also uncovered all but 2 of the secrets hidden within the stages. I wish there's an option to start at stages that I've already completed. And, another thing, I also wish that the game would always reward you with Starcoins whenever you complete a stage even though you didn't beat your previous score. Sometimes, you go through a stage for 2-4 minutes and finish it and not even get a single Starcoin upon completion (not counting the ones you get for combos). Oh, and any other tips anybody can give to me to get a PERFECT score on Stage 1? dreadnok Well-Known Member Jun 8, 2011 4,157 7 38 I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum I'm ou #16 dreadnok, Feb 10, 2014 It is pretty hard to do I've already collected all the secrets and made it to level nine, just couldn't make it over that last level. My hands are too shaky to ever score a perfect I think but it's still fun to try WizardsTMC Well-Known Member Nov 17, 2013 87 0 0 Creative Director,A man with many hats. Game Desig China http://www.pixelcrusaders.com #17 WizardsTMC, Feb 10, 2014 Now you make me wonder ..whats your real live name ? zdn1042, really Thanks a lot for enjoying WizardsTMC so much and playing! Reading your kind words just pushes us further and we want to make it better and better experience ! During the last days,I heard so often that it is quite hard to get PERFECTS for many of you ! We heard you, So In the coming update we extended the timer of being able to score a PERFECT in easy Mode ! I hope this does not take away to much,and the game still offers a challenge,but a more fun one as well ! As well we consider to give the Fireworks a Visual "Tell"..a blinking or a pumping before about to explode ! If the timer is not enough ! The Danger in this is Players just could look and wait for this "tell''" to TAP,and that would change the whole experience ! What do you guys think ? Best is we play test it and see how you guys like it ! Haha..so you goy the Demons Bone..thats Luxury !! Congratulations ,thats my dear Wizards..is a FISHTASTIC Wand !!! Swipe & TAP controls at your fingertips ! Yeah..it feels a bit different at the beginning if u change from TAP only to Swipe as well ! Don't forget zdn1042,you can use both ways now during one game! Tap for simple stuff..and Swipe for rows of Fireworks !!! Still..having the timing is very very important ! To your suggestions : "I wish there's an option to start at stages that I've already completed." We hear you and It's in the works !!! Already on the schedule of things of what to do next. And, another thing, I also wish that the game would always reward you with Starcoins whenever you complete a stage even though you didn't beat your previous score I have to give this one some thought,but I can see where you coming from ! Some kind of reward would be nice ! Let me see what we can do ! Right now we are working on Bug fixes like crazy and our update should be this week in the app store ! With many updates to follow as we are working our selfs to all your awesome feedback guys ! Thanks zdn1042,and just Thanks all of you here for being such awesome people ! We Appreciate it ! PS: A tip to get all PERFECTS..man,i would recommend miss 3 or 4 fireworks in a row in Stage 0 ! Something nice happens that could help u tell the PERFECT time ! Another thing I could recommend is..just play once and do not hit the Fireworks..just watch them,even if that means MISS ! But what u can see actually is.how much time you actually have to get them ! Some people are surprised how long time there is !!! As well, If its a BOW firework,it will slow down before it falls back to the ground ! So do not hit it,even if it looks like the smoke is in. If's its a STRAIGHT Firework..it will not slow down when the tail smoke is reaching its body ! Means..HIT it ! It needs a couple of times,but each Firework has its tell ! In anyway,we will make it more accessible,and as I said,update is coming these days with Difficulty Balance !!

Game Desig China http://www.pixelcrusaders.com #18 WizardsTMC, Feb 10, 2014 Dreadnok help is on the way !!!

This is going to be fun. Hopefully I can at least get to Stage 1 with all perfects, lol. Also, maybe you should put a suggestion that if people upload screenshots that they watermark them with there username. Otherwise, other people could just re-post there screenshot and say it's theirs.

Moving your finger across the screen with having the SWIPE WAND will change gameplay from TAP to SWIPE MODE ! With that some Formations are a lot easier to deal with ! Especially on Later stages you will need this to get COMBOS of 16 or Higher as Cut through them in one Stroke ! The last WAND in Wizards that you can get "Demons Bone" combines all WANDS into 1,The TAP & SWIPE Wand! One Wand to Rule them all..so to say ! Sorry to hear about your lost Progress the one time. Can you specify what you did before that happened ? It might be a rare bug we haven't discover ! We never had this problem before with all testers ! We will look into it ! As for now ,we are working to implement iCloud functionality as well, so you can save your progress between devices ! So nothing like it can happen again ! We are also looking into some other ways to save progress ! We keep you updated ! Again,Thanks a lot for all your constructive feedback M13 ! We are working on it,and you should have a new better build in your hands ! Cheers PS: You Missed a SECRET TAP that glowing light Circle for Mister"ONE TAP HERO"
I had One Tap Hero secret before the game reset itself. I have no idea how I got it. Now I have Manpfi and again no idea where that came from. Truly a secret!
They are hidden in the background ! You can see the glow aura around them as in your video ! Most are more obvious then "ONE TAP HERO" or "Manpfi" ! You recognize Secrets by the light and glow aura surrounding them ! Cheers
Hi. I'm interested in joining your challenge here. I just want to make sure which difficulty should I choose if I'm going to participate? Reading the posts above, I think it would be fine if I choose EASY? Goodluck to everyone!
Yeah,any difficulty is ok ! Easy,normal or hard ..all is fine !!! And yeah Welcome to the Challenge zdn1042!! Can't wait to see and hear what you got ! PLEASE,everybody is welcome to take part. Cheers
Wow, this is really hard. I've completed Stage 0 with PERFECT score quite a few times, but for the other stages, it's gets really tough. I just bought the best wand - Demon's Bone and I still can't do it. I really like the swipe controls though I might need to adjust to using it a bit. Things I really like about the game - the visuals and effects are really pretty. It's really neat to see all those colors and lights exploding at the screen. The character Javi (which is quite close to my name) is awesome and funny. The use of tilting to control the broom to collect coins is quite cool. I've played for a good 4-6 hours total. And the farthest stage I've completed is Stage 9 (I think) where a swipe wand is necessary to finish it. (Can't wait to try my Demon's Bone wand later!) I've also uncovered all but 2 of the secrets hidden within the stages. I wish there's an option to start at stages that I've already completed. And, another thing, I also wish that the game would always reward you with Starcoins whenever you complete a stage even though you didn't beat your previous score. Sometimes, you go through a stage for 2-4 minutes and finish it and not even get a single Starcoin upon completion (not counting the ones you get for combos). Oh, and any other tips anybody can give to me to get a PERFECT score on Stage 1?
It is pretty hard to do I've already collected all the secrets and made it to level nine, just couldn't make it over that last level. My hands are too shaky to ever score a perfect I think but it's still fun to try
Now you make me wonder ..whats your real live name ? zdn1042, really Thanks a lot for enjoying WizardsTMC so much and playing! Reading your kind words just pushes us further and we want to make it better and better experience ! During the last days,I heard so often that it is quite hard to get PERFECTS for many of you ! We heard you, So In the coming update we extended the timer of being able to score a PERFECT in easy Mode ! I hope this does not take away to much,and the game still offers a challenge,but a more fun one as well ! As well we consider to give the Fireworks a Visual "Tell"..a blinking or a pumping before about to explode ! If the timer is not enough ! The Danger in this is Players just could look and wait for this "tell''" to TAP,and that would change the whole experience ! What do you guys think ? Best is we play test it and see how you guys like it ! Haha..so you goy the Demons Bone..thats Luxury !! Congratulations ,thats my dear Wizards..is a FISHTASTIC Wand !!! Swipe & TAP controls at your fingertips ! Yeah..it feels a bit different at the beginning if u change from TAP only to Swipe as well ! Don't forget zdn1042,you can use both ways now during one game! Tap for simple stuff..and Swipe for rows of Fireworks !!! Still..having the timing is very very important ! To your suggestions : "I wish there's an option to start at stages that I've already completed." We hear you and It's in the works !!! Already on the schedule of things of what to do next. And, another thing, I also wish that the game would always reward you with Starcoins whenever you complete a stage even though you didn't beat your previous score I have to give this one some thought,but I can see where you coming from ! Some kind of reward would be nice ! Let me see what we can do ! Right now we are working on Bug fixes like crazy and our update should be this week in the app store ! With many updates to follow as we are working our selfs to all your awesome feedback guys ! Thanks zdn1042,and just Thanks all of you here for being such awesome people ! We Appreciate it ! PS: A tip to get all PERFECTS..man,i would recommend miss 3 or 4 fireworks in a row in Stage 0 ! Something nice happens that could help u tell the PERFECT time ! Another thing I could recommend is..just play once and do not hit the Fireworks..just watch them,even if that means MISS ! But what u can see actually is.how much time you actually have to get them ! Some people are surprised how long time there is !!! As well, If its a BOW firework,it will slow down before it falls back to the ground ! So do not hit it,even if it looks like the smoke is in. If's its a STRAIGHT Firework..it will not slow down when the tail smoke is reaching its body ! Means..HIT it ! It needs a couple of times,but each Firework has its tell ! In anyway,we will make it more accessible,and as I said,update is coming these days with Difficulty Balance !! Cheers
Dreadnok help is on the way !!! New update is on the way..and I hope you get them all on PERFECT and kick some serious Pepos !!! Let me know !! Still,happy you are enjoying it so far ! hugs from here !!
Interesting. I wonder what this is... Great tip! To observe carefully first and take in it... I'll do that next time. And... I'm so happy to tell you, I just did a PERFECT run of Stage 1 a few hours ago. Will post my screenshot later. Just need to put watermark in it which I don't know yet how to do. And I'll also be posting something on the main thread about some of the things I noticed ingame. EDIT: Added my screenshots - Stage 0, Stage 1, and the Results screen.
I just added the video gameplay for Stage 0/1 (refer to screenshot above) in the main thread. A walk through for anyone else that wants to give it a try
