Couldnt find anything slewis7 Well-Known Member Apr 6, 2011 3,768 41 48 Male Retired! Houston, TX #5 slewis7, Nov 17, 2016 I do not believe there is any Game Center integration, but the game itself is very beautiful. I am too early in the game to comment on how good and challenging the puzzles will be, but I like what I am seeing so far. There are IAPs, and they are for hints and what appears to be other items to help you if you get stuck.

Why can't the developer release the complete game? This is not the old days when there was a restricted size download. Beth Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Jan 29, 2014 126 8 18 Professional do-nothing'er Eastern usa #9 Beth, Nov 19, 2016 The images don't do this game justice! So I was expecting a great puzzle game, and yup it's on point with the puzzle part, but what I didn't expect was how dang beautiful and creative the overall atmosphere is. I love all the little details and extra bits that have made this more of an experience with a story. It's great when a game is even better than expected abstractgamefreak Well-Known Member Aug 22, 2009 418 0 16 Male Musician Germany http://www.facebook.com/eskalationband #10 abstractgamefreak, Nov 20, 2016 Anyone played this on iPhone 5? ...which seems the minimum hardware requirement. And I wonder about the screen size, whether it's too small.

Works flawlessly on the small screen. Charming game, lots of levels. Recommended.

If you do decide to give it a try, we'd love to hear how you found the experience on the 4" screen. In general we felt the gameplay was comfortable on all supported versions of the iPhone, but we also added an optimized zoom-in to the puzzle scenes to make the smaller screen experience even more comfortable. Always curious to hear your impressions. Thanks for your interest in Aurora! Silverback Games New Member Nov 21, 2016 4 0 0 Creative Producer Halifax, NS http://silverbackgames.com/games/aurora/ #13 Silverback Games, Nov 21, 2016 Well look at that Your second post only showed up in my thread after I posted my original reply. I'm so glad you decided to give in a try. And thrilled to hear you had a positive experience! Thanks for the recommendation!

It's so gratifying to put months of effort into all the little details and then have people respond so positively. We are really glad you are digging Aurora. When we arrived at the studio this morning someone had shared your post to everyone on the team. Pure delight!

Always interested in hearing more if you play further! orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #16 orangecan, Nov 22, 2016 Well I'm really enjoying this as well - a really fun puzzle game, I picked it up because of the match3 reference and I do think it's a bit of a stretch to describe it as such it's a great puzzler, lovely presentation and a lot of charm. Not sure what the iap is (hints?) but it doesn't feel like they're necessary (yet at least). mzinn Well-Known Member Jan 5, 2014 770 0 16 #17 mzinn, Dec 6, 2016 Enjoying the game. Some clever puzzles! Would like to play landscape. Is that something you'll consider adding? Georgina Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Jan 30, 2010 361 7 18 Sydney #18 Georgina, Dec 6, 2016 I avoided it because of the match-3 reference, since I have no interest in them. Sounds as though it's not actually a match-3 game at all?

Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #20 orangecan, Dec 6, 2016 You do have to match 3 or more blocks but if you try to compare it to traditional match3s it doesn't bear a great deal of comparison. I'd watch the video app unwrapper posted that should help you decide but I wouldn't write it off if you don't like match3s. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
