    Get Hell Quest: Tears of God FREE now and for a limited time souls(Save .99) “Try your luck in this hellishly wonderful game of strategy” -Appoday You are a WARRIOR OF HEAVEN! - and your voyage leads you beyond the GATES OF HELL! Battle your way through the circles of hell - fight terrible demons and wrathful sinners and collect the stolen tears of God! The game is a dice roller, based roughly on the popular dice game "FARKLE" and is THE PERFECT BLEND OF SKILL AND CHANCE! You need luck, as in every other dice game, but additionally you must master the skills your characters possess. (Farkle is also known as 1000/5000/10000, Cosmic Wimpout, Greed, Hot Dice, Squelch, Zilch, Zonk, or Darsh to name but a few.) The enemies you will encounter also have their unique strengths and weaknesses. Upon completion of a quest and your victory over the warden of the circle of hell you just fought in, you will be rewarded with a beautifully crafted SPECIAL DICE, which are imbued with holy powers ("the tears of God"). These COLLECTIBLES can only be obtained by playing the game - they will make you stronger and help you defeat the demons you'll encounter in the oncoming circles of hell. But it's not only dice. Your heroes possess unique skills and each one of these characters plays differently. Level them up, gather spiritual teachings and grow stronger on your long journey!

    I'm just surprised to see the well regarded and active developers of Companions, Time of Heroes, and Nosferatu not publishing their own products. I'm more apt to notice a Smuttlewerk title than another brand peesonally.

    Little known fact - I almost published Time of Heroes. We've known each other for awhile.

    Played the canadian version a bit. Not really something id invest time in, but it seems to be much better than those MMOs with a crapload of timers and IAPs.

    For one, i love the artstyle and how they are subtly animated. The dice animations are nice. The gameplay is sort of intriguing, i think it could be better made as a combat system for an all out RPG game.

    Here's a very simple way to play this game, if you want a quick start:

    Definitely tap on any blue dice!
    You can only tap on 3 of a kind or more of white dice.
    Keep hitting your special skills as they come up.
    Re-roll until it becomes too risky (if there are few dice left, don't re-roll!)
    Move quickly, you'll get more points that way.
    End turn.

    Enemies have a chance of dropping souls
    Bosses drop dice

    Hope that helps. :)

    :( oh I didn't realise this was going to be a freemium Facebook type game :confused: I just died and it said resurrect in 24hours:eek:

    It's worth pointing out that I didn't realise you had to scroll the main quest screen up and down and I spent a few minutes looking through the different tabs trying to find my mission.

    you can resurrect your guy with the souls you are given at the beginning of the game, and then you start to earn them as you defeat enemies. How many souls does it say you have?

    We might launch on the 28th, depends, though. We have some crucial fixes that need to be done...

    I'll chat with Smuttlewerk about that one. Seems a bit strange not to support iOS5.

    hey guys!

    iOS 5 support will make it in the worldwide release version. patch is ready and will be uploaded on monday. we did use iOS 6 because texture sizes could lead to crashes on older devices.

    we invested some time making textures smaller. now the game runs fine on iPad1 and iPod4!

    about the souls:
    after each battle you have the chance to earn a soul. if you don't have enough, you can either buy some and use them or wait for your character to ressurect/heal.

    if you have questions about gameplay, let us know! :)
