Gladly removed ads in support of these guys. The shape I have the most trouble with is the grey horseshoe shaped one. It doesn't always seem to register for me. Also wondering if you have any control over when your magic spells are available and if there's a way to choose which one you use.

Easily. Just perfectly suited for the touchscreen, instantly accessible, instantly impossible, great power-ups, a way to disable ads, no ways to continue by paying money, unlockable backgrounds...I dunno. I love it. macplash Well-Known Member Apr 17, 2014 2,645 1,103 113 Male 3D artist Munich, Germany #10 macplash, Feb 25, 2015 After having so much fun with Gunbrick I'm confident enough to say this is one of my favorite developers and I'll buy anything they bring in the future. This game's fantastic, and despite the same game mechanics and idea as previously implemented in Darklings, its pixelart style and visuals in general makes this game a true masterpiece. It's easy to pick up and play for a short period of time as well as stick with it for hours. Upgrade system is clever and forces you to earn more and more coins for upgrades which should be enough to keep anyone interested for quite some time. And even after unlocking all the power-ups there's still lasting value in chasing high score or unlocking all the achievements. I'm not sure yet how enjoyable is the game on smaller screens because of the baloon sizes with emblems on them, I tested it on iPad Air and iPad mini 2 only, but I'll try on iPhone as well. The most important thing is the controls works flawlessly. I highly recommend to try it and support Nitrome so they can bring more of their amazing and visually stunning games in the future. Zeillusion Well-Known Member Sep 30, 2013 1,789 2 38 #11 Zeillusion, Feb 25, 2015 It's quite fun. It's a mini game / match this by drawing. It's definitely unique in the " flappy / quick score challenge genre ". Can't beat 46 it gets real hectic. Just unlocked the second perk lightning. I wish you could choose when to use those spells and they had a cool down. They always appear on screen at the worst times.

Polished as usual, super responsive, very forgiving, highly addictive, Nitrome. Stuck at 90, and if i don't have to unlock the former power up first, for once i'm going for the most expensive (20k). Curious what this dragon does, if it is one. Edit: Bug alarm...I was able to unlock the 20k/W without buying the others, and it says unlocked, but in-game i get the 15k/N power up which i didn't unlock...

I am sure some of you can do it but it sure is tricky. JoshW Well-Known Member Jun 15, 2010 253 0 0 #14 JoshW, Feb 25, 2015 This game is delightful, with superfun gameplay.
