Beat the first ten missions already ## Anotherkellydown Moderator Staff Member Patreon Bronze Feb 10, 2014 4,581 1,134 113 Male CAD Technician I Upstate NY https://youtube.com/channel/UCcvu9xhE7xT-mZrXUZQJr5g #4 Anotherkellydown, Feb 8, 2017 Just got to the 10th and had to report back. This is a really well-done puzzle platformer. Bought the ad removal for support. It's 2 dollars and I only got a couple skippable pop-ups anyway. Should suit everyone's needs in regards to the payment model/ monetization. The controls are sooo good and the puzzle mechanic is easy to grasp, thanks to the unobtrusive tutorial. Great job with the on-screen buttons as well! They can also be switched off in the options menu but I like having them visible. The graphics are really charming. Overall top-notch. neca Well-Known Member Apr 5, 2010 160 0 16 #5 neca, Feb 8, 2017 Last edited: Feb 8, 2017 Great game as all the previous ones, congratulations! neca Well-Known Member Apr 5, 2010 160 0 16 #6 neca, Feb 8, 2017 So I finished it, I'd love to see some kind of time trial as in SDD counting lives lost and keeping track of the time. Maybe special items to unlock harder levels, bosses, more characters (a yellow one maybe?) I see a lot of potential in this game, hope to see it updated!! sugimulm Well-Known Member Aug 28, 2010 2,457 46 48 The last time zone for iOS game releases :( #7 sugimulm, Feb 9, 2017 Geez I must have been off this planet, did not realize same dev that did SDD, TD, and DD, all on my devices!!! Buying the ad removal now!

Thank you for playing! mr_bez Well-Known Member Dec 20, 2012 2,053 3 38 #9 mr_bez, Feb 9, 2017 Lovely game. Over fairly quickly, but that's better than outstaying its welcome. I noticed that the playable Game of War ads seem to crash the app, but it's not a major issue as the app restarts so quickly and ads are always between stages so no progress is lost.

AppleBazooka New Member Feb 10, 2017 3 0 0 #12 AppleBazooka, Feb 10, 2017 I played only 15 levels so far but I know I will be coming back to this one very often. This game seems so peaceful and challenging at the same time. The retro artwork, characters and mechanics are just AWESOME! I'm not surprised it's featured with a banner. I recorded 15 levels walkthrough on my channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk7bmJ__ZyA but I will record more for sure. AdventureIslands Well-Known Member Aug 29, 2014 76 0 6 http://simpanen.carbonmade.com/ #13 AdventureIslands, Feb 10, 2017 I always stress about my games not having much that much of a replayability, but whatever, not every game is meant to last forever. And I personally dislike systems like game rating your performance with 3 stars at the end of the level, and stuff like that, so I don't include those. Strange, what phone and iOS you have? Fellow Stencyl user also released a game this week and I've heard Game of War ads also crash that game. y2kmp3 Well-Known Member Jun 25, 2010 1,784 3 38 #14 y2kmp3, Feb 10, 2017 Congrats, AdventureIslands, on this fine release. I like the game a lot. The cooperative solutions are often quite clever. Pure puzzle fun, as the platforming elements are very forgiving (at least so far). No awkward timers! Very surprised and impressed. OrangutanKungfu Well-Known Member Dec 29, 2015 1,011 0 0 Media UK #15 OrangutanKungfu, Feb 10, 2017 There are so many games on the App Store that try to pack too much in and overstay their welcome. Honestly, something like Heart Star makes a really refreshing alternative. I like how all your games are enjoyable to the end, but never feel like they dragged it out. Loved Tiny Dangerous Dungeons too! popogamingchannel Well-Known Member Feb 4, 2017 45 0 0 Gamer Asia https://www.youtube.com/user/PopoGamingChannel #16 popogamingchannel, Feb 10, 2017 Heart Star Gameplay Video Check out the gameplay here and be the judge Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Analander Well-Known Member Aug 24, 2014 122 1 18 #17 Analander, Feb 12, 2017 Super cute game.

THE NETHERLANDS #19 ROGER-NL, Feb 12, 2017 Fun game, bought the ad remover for support, and there are 500 Achievements points if anybody is still interested in them. Good controls. gaymerX Well-Known Member Dec 30, 2014 280 0 16 #20 gaymerX, Feb 12, 2017 Great little puzzle platformer. Finished pretty easily in a couple of quick sittings. It was never very tough but still quite enjoyable. Level 37 either has a small (and annoying) design issue or I finished it incorrectly. All in all great game from start to finish.
