Houston, TX #5 slewis7, Oct 29, 2014 There is currently a paucity of information on the inter-webs for this one, so I emailed the game's marketing group and invited them into the thread.

Arkadium Member Oct 29, 2014 16 0 0 #9 Arkadium, Oct 29, 2014 Hey there! This is Brian from Arkadium, developers of Twisty Hollow. Thanks for checking out our trailer, and big thanks to Slewis7 for leading me here! Twisty Hollow is definitely inspired by match-3 games, but also has elements of item crafting and time-management games as well, all on a circular playing field. The inner circle has workers, the middle circle has tools, and the outer circle has resources. Match up the right combination and tap to combine them all to create a new resource. Some workers can create different resources with different tools, some tools and resources can be used by multiple workers, and some resources require multiple steps to create. Each level has different combinations of all of these, with more workers, tools, and resources introduced as you progress further in the game. So when a customer demands sushi, you have to match Mariner Gillian with the right tool (a fishing rod) and the right resource (a worm) to create a new resource (a fish!). Then you have to match Chef Alfredo with a knife and the newly-caught fish to create sushi, all while matching and managing demands for other customers too. Let me know if you have any questions about the game, I'll be checking back here regularly! DonnyDJ76 Well-Known Member Nov 1, 2011 1,793 58 48 Male Teacher Hackensack, NJ #10 DonnyDJ76, Oct 29, 2014 Hi Brian! I just spoke to Silas, whom I know personally and he praised your game and company! I picked it up and I found the match 3 style cute! The one issue is that there are no Game Center Achievements to unlock. (The game description says 'Unlock Game Center Achievements'. I entered my birthdate at 38, but regardless, when you go to the Game Center screen on your iDevice, it says no leaderboards or achievements for Twisty Hollow. Please reply.

Thanks for jumping onboard here. Arkadium Member Oct 29, 2014 16 0 0 #18 Arkadium, Oct 29, 2014 Thanks for reporting this. We're seeing a very small number of issues like this and have already identified the problem: it's related to region-specific language settings. We're working with Apple on fixing this ASAP, but in the meantime, a workaround is to change your language setting to English (English) instead of using English (U.K.) or any other version of English. You can do this in Settings > General > Language & Region > iPhone Language. We'll be updating the game very quickly to fix this. Thanks again for reporting it, and sorry for the problem! New England Gamer Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze Jul 30, 2009 6,143 1 0 #19 New England Gamer, Oct 29, 2014 Looks like the kind of game I would like. Waiting to hear a few more impressions and then I will jump in. I am worried about no Game Center though - I get fussy about games that have it but don't if that makes sense! StratAll Well-Known Member Dec 24, 2009 160 17 18 #20 StratAll, Oct 29, 2014 I can confirm that this fixes the issue for me. Thanks for the quick reply! (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
