Hey everyone, we are happy to announce the release of our new word puzzle game Kombo. Available now on Android, iOS, and Amazon. Kombo is a word puzzle game that is easy to play but will test your clue solving abilities. Please see the screenshots below and give the game a try. Would appreciate any and all feedback! Apple: https://itunes.apple.com/tt/app/kombo/id1109551335?mt=8
Just downloaded. Honestly, I think it's pretty awesome as is. Maybe you should have a tutorial turn or something, because the game just starts with no explanation. But as soon as you answer one clue, everything makes perfect sense. The style reminds me of Bonza, which is a great thing. Very unique and crossword-y. Definitely a solid game! Edit: Maybe you should make the first hint the number of letters in the word. Just having the clue is usually enough to get the answer, and it would add a little extra challenge.
Jerutix, thank you for the feedback! I will definitely implement some sort of tutorial for the first launch. Regarding the number of letters in the word, this is already implemented. The blue number to the left of each clue is how many letters are in each answer. Thanks again for the input. If you come up with anything else please let us know.
No, I know that. I'm suggesting you take that away, and that you have to use a hint to get the numbers. It's almost too easy to have both the clues and the numbers. I know that's sort of how crossword puzzles work, but since the letters are already provided (scrambled, but they're there), I don't see why I'd really ever need a hint. Maybe I'm just good at word games, but it's just an idea.
Ah, got it. That is another great suggestion. Or perhaps making this an option for players in the settings menu? Like easy mode vs hard mode which hides/shows the numbers. And yes, I think it's just you. I find myself using hints frequently and I wrote the game! Lol
Yeah, a setting might work. Also, puzzle 4 (maybe 5) has a clue about 4 Old Testsment books. Should be New Testsment books - Gospels. My degrees are in Bible, so I felt it my duty to let you know!
Suggestions Hello, all! frisbee10461 here! I also liked this game, but I have some suggestions as to how to improve the game. 1. Originality. I agree that this game is a lot like Bonza, and that game was very similar to 7 Little Words. I don't see how this game differs from the other two. You have a great thing here, so by implementing some of the suggestions below, it should pop. 2. More Free Puzzles. After you complete the two starter packs, the only way you can play for free is the daily free puzzle. As a suggestion, how about giving the player the ability to unlock "paid" packs if they complete a certain number of puzzles? 3. Fan-Based Puzzles? I believe this happens in Bonza, but if you used a board such as this to ask for clues, and whoever gives you the best clues will get their puzzles placed in the game. 4. Proofreading. Similar to the previous poster, when it comes to the Bible, the general concepts, such as OT vs NT should be clarified. However, you can have some fun with this as well. For example: 06 Liontamer Daniel 05 Waterwalker Jesus 05 Skyfood Manna 10 Ultimate Battle Royal Armageddon 07 First Martyr Stephen 06 Doubter Thomas 05 Pulled from Water Moses 5. Current Themes For each month, there can be theme-based puzzles. As an example, you can have a field day with Trump vs. Clinton: 05 Rugwearer Trump 07 Supermodel Candidate Clinton The Summer Olympics: 04 Sore Football Loser Solo [Hope] 06 False Victim Lochte 08 Marathon Nookie Diver Oliviera Summer Activities 11 "Manly Man" Cooking Barbequeing 08 American Pastime Baseball 06 Male Swimsuit Approval Bikini As you can see, you can make this game stand out 100%.
Thanks frisbee, these are great suggestions. Over time we will continue to add more packs, both free and paid. I also like your idea of fan-based questions. I will have to think of a way to implement this. Lastly, mind if we use your questions/answers in the game?
KOMBO has been updated and has new features and a number of bug fixes. Thanks to everyone who helped point these out
Sure, Use 'Em Hello, all! frisbee10461 here! To the developer who asked if they could use my suggestions, absolutely, feel free to use them. i'd be honored. Thanks, frisbee10461
No longer happening. Odd. The level up notifications really disrupt game flow. This could stand to have a sound play with a less intrusive notification.
