I wouldn't probably take a second look at it, if it weren't for the nice pixel graphics and the guy above saying that the game is hard. Now I have to download it. Dragan Well-Known Member Aug 21, 2014 365 7 18 Belgium #4 Dragan, Jun 18, 2015 Indeed, there is a thin line between fun and frustration and here it is crossed on the wrong side. Deleted the game, pity because it seemed to have potential... iPhones iOS Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2014 110 0 16 Rochester, New York #5 iPhones iOS, Jun 18, 2015 There's no iPad 23rd Generation! Elsa Well-Known Member Apr 7, 2015 653 0 0 Arendelle #6 Elsa, Jun 18, 2015 G doesn't refer to "Generation" it refers to the network. As you can see, there are no spaces in devices' names, so iPad23G means iPad 2 3G.

BamboomPanda Member Jan 23, 2013 6 0 0 #8 BamboomPanda, Jun 18, 2015 I don't know if I would say too "hard" exactly. After a few attempts I got the timing down fairly well. However, it is frustrating yes. As is pretty much every "mini" game. There are long gaps between action on everything, so you spend a good chunk of time waiting for nodes to appear. And the random events.. I have no clue what their purpose serves. My gatherer asked for some hay, so I gave it to him, and ended up having to restart the game because I couldn't proceed without building another Hovel, which I needed in order to gather more hay. As for the mower mini-game, you can swipe but I preferred to tap so I wasn't hitting the rocks, however there are patches of grass that are directly under the buttons to leave. Overall, could be fun.. But too many little bothersome issues make this game a dud for me.

I can say that it's more like experimental version(like demo) but the game promisse to be more interesting and fun with each update, what I'm actually working on. Thanks for comments, I listened to you clearly so will try to make everything much better And also check out trailer if you didn't see it: YOUTUBE Bushuev Dmitrii Active Member Jun 18, 2015 27 0 0 #10 Bushuev Dmitrii, Jun 18, 2015 Also separate game about miner is going to be uploaded on the AppStore with special features Dragan Well-Known Member Aug 21, 2014 365 7 18 Belgium #11 Dragan, Jun 18, 2015 I purchased the iap to cut on the waiting time and after restarting the game the purchase was lost. The restore button didn't help either . Bushuev Dmitrii Active Member Jun 18, 2015 27 0 0 #12 Bushuev Dmitrii, Jun 19, 2015 Try to buy it again but it gonna say that you already bought it and provides purchase for free Elsa Well-Known Member Apr 7, 2015 653 0 0 Arendelle #13 Elsa, Jun 21, 2015 Last edited: Jun 21, 2015 Played this quite a bit (unlocked the hunter minigame). Mixed feelings. I like the art. Consistent, cartoony pixel graphics. The music fits the game as well. All features seem to work as intended and the game is really polished all around. However... There are ads and timers. Ads aren't intrusive, so that's good. But the timers really butcher this game up. There's a reason why people say that some minigames are hard and frustrating when actually they are rather easy. It's because of that 60 seconds timer. Imagine if Temple Run made you wait one minute to retry... It would be frustrating and it'd be really hard to master the game that way. I get that there's an IAP to remove the timer, but who would buy that with only experiencing frustrating mini games at the start? If you intend to keep it that way, at least put some tutorial in. It's a lot of fun finding out the mechanics in other games out, but not in this one. Each fail costs you another minute of waiting. I'm at the hunter minigame right now and I played two times yesterday, didn't know what to do, the wolf ate me and I quit. I launched the game up today, tried to hunt something, still don't get what I'm supposed to do. I know I can't master the game in 3 tries, but I stopped trying because of the timer. I'm not sure about those mini games either. The apple picking minigame is awful, when it shouldn't be as you'll probably have to play it quite a lot. The woodsman game is fun at start but soon becomes bland, same with the miner minigame. The mower game is "meh" at best. Having many minigames doesn't make the game overall good, if the single minigames aren't good as well. I feel like this could be a great little game if the timers got tweaked (or removed) and a little bit of "razzle-dazzle" added to each minigame. Bushuev Dmitrii Active Member Jun 18, 2015 27 0 0 #14 Bushuev Dmitrii, Jun 21, 2015 Thanks for honest comment. Yeah, i know people frustrating because of the time and other few things so we are working on it as fast as possible, trying to make new update. I think it's gonna be uploaded in AppStore in a week with normal time and etc. Bushuev Dmitrii Active Member Jun 18, 2015 27 0 0 #15 Bushuev Dmitrii, Jun 21, 2015 I'm not sure that it's polished all around, as I said before-it's more like experimental version and too raw and we don't actually know what people like(as we are almost don't have any experience at all) So we uploaded like alpha-demo version on AppStore and decided to see what will happen. So now I see general landscape of what we have to do due to all comments that people leave and it's really helpful and make us more excited to continue making that game to not give up. Moreover, we are just two persons, not like a big company, who try make something cool and people like it Dragan Well-Known Member Aug 21, 2014 365 7 18 Belgium #16 Dragan, Jun 21, 2015 This problem is solved. Now i'm completly stuck in the baker, i have no clue how to make bread, just losing a lot of grain that is hard to grow, help would be appreciated. Bushuev Dmitrii Active Member Jun 18, 2015 27 0 0 #17 Bushuev Dmitrii, Jun 21, 2015 Yeah, sorry, our mistake didn't make any walkthrough for this game, what we are going to do in the next update. In baker game you have to fit everything in 3 slots for about 3-4 steps as I remember untill you make bread but be sure that you have a lot of grain before baking. Dragan Well-Known Member Aug 21, 2014 365 7 18 Belgium #18 Dragan, Jun 21, 2015 I lost more then200 grain without making a single bread so i hope the walkthrough will help. icepulse Well-Known Member Aug 7, 2008 600 0 0 #19 icepulse, Jun 22, 2015 I think I'm gonna wait for "Pocket King Lear" to drop.
