    Will there be a set price? Or IAP (which I can't imagine since you all are so excited about it)?

    Well, after reading about half a page into the thread, I was sold. After reading the rest of the thread, I'm drooling at my computer. I was planning on taking a week off from making any purchases (last week got way out of hand), but that's off the table now. I can't not instabuy this.

    Other bits and pieces. Loved Dungeon Raid, and have been looking for a replacement Match-3 RPG for a while. Horde of Heroes, Block Legend, Puzzle Quest, and others just haven't scratched that itch the way I'd hoped.

    Also, I'm with Frost on the iPhone only thing. I had an iPad for a while (then an iPad mini). Having your game device in your pocket at all times is way better than having more screen real estate. After I sold my iPad mini, I've only missed it when teaching class at church. Never missed it for games.

    Again, I'm drooling. Figuratively, but it's disgusting.

    That list seems to be lacking 10000000...

    Will the test version and AppStore version have synchronized saves?

    Agreed on all points. Ipads aren't bad at all, they're awesome. But then I'd rather have something I can have all the time. That's actually the main reason I got an ipod, so I can have it with me all the time. I don't think I could handle swapping them out and carrying around a mini.

    ---

    Sorry if this has been asked, not sure, but how would people that have played this compare it to Dungeon Raid? Better or worse? Exactly the same? I do miss the RPG looks/characters but I'd rather have an updated app (this game) with way better graphics because Dungeon Raid as fun as it is, is now hard to look at.

    Similar to Dungeon Raid with less enemy variety (skulls or "bosses" -bosses are unique) but more buffs/debuffs so far. There are "experience" tiles thrown into the mix and some unlock able play modes...

    ...and unicorns!

    Thanks Undead! I guess a few more days until release? Excited! I have a feeling some great games will be out this week but we'll just have to see what actually shows up.

    Is the Dungeon Raid formula but improved upon, and with a 2014 feel to it. You have 40 bosses, each one unique, three different classes, unique abilities to each class and tons more that I wont spoil. I <3 this game so much. <3

    I hope it's as good as you all say, likely be my first instabuy for a while. Sounds like it's coming with more then Dungeon Raid did oringonally before it was updated.

    Hopefully it's just the video but some of the matches could have been much better and looked a little clunky.

    Not sure what you mean?

    But yeah that footage is several weeks old, plus it's especially smoother when being played directly on the device, rather than watching a video
     
  16. Would help having a current gameplay video for sure.
     
  17. Heh yeah, JCho133 is right... we're not the most amazing of video editors and the footage is old =/. But! We refined and refined that linking mechanic until it couldn't get any smoother =). You can play Darkin at warp-speed and the mechanic is always fluid and accurate.

    @Connector - you are absolutely right! And TouchGameplay over on YouTube will be doing exactly that for us =D.
     
  18. That is good to hear. Sanuku makes really nice videos.

    Glad to hear it I hate most of these match games where the matching mechanic isn't even that good....it's the whole basis of the game it needs to be fluid and accurate.

    Can't wait to play.
