Appreciate the testing, Jay. orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #5 orangecan, Apr 26, 2017 Such a shame that a potentially great game is ruined by Freemium economics. I've been playing it constantly for the last hour or so until I hit the timer/energy wall and therein lies the problem..... The gameplay itself I like a lot - it's a good match3er with a slight twist in the fact that once you make your first move you've got a timer that runs which allows you to make bigger chains. The graphics are good and it's got a bit of style to it. Unfortunately it's mired in freemium bollocks with multiple currecies and timers and energy (albeit fairly generous energy and timers). Now I'm never going to write off a game just because it's free to play and I'm not giving up on this just yet, I'll probably give it a go again in the morning but unless I'm missing something (and in which case I apologise profusely) there's no IAP to remove the timers/energy and it does initially at least feel like the whole character and shop upgrade system is designed to have you spend money on consumables.

Such a shame. F2P match-threes are a dime a dozen and very easy to download and delete. aussiepaul likes this. Mr. Charley Well-Known Member Sep 6, 2008 2,628 38 38 #7 Mr. Charley, Apr 26, 2017 Does the game actually get challenging at some point? I know I've only completed the first chapter but there has been absolutely no challenge so far.... PBSNellie Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2013 1,381 168 63 Southern CA #8 PBSNellie, Apr 26, 2017 I kind of have to agree with the above comments. This is a fun game and better than most match 3s, but the energy timers are a downer. If there was an IAP to remove them.... Slate Well-Known Member Mar 26, 2015 145 6 18 Game Taster Wisconsin #9 Slate, Apr 26, 2017 My initial thought was, "wow... i am quite enjoying this game." And then I ran out of energy. Too bad as it happened very quickly for me. Styrixa Well-Known Member Feb 6, 2013 152 0 0 PA, USA #10 Styrixa, Apr 26, 2017 Last edited: Apr 26, 2017 I really like the game. Being able to make multiple moves at a time is a nice twist. And the world has a funny premise. I like the collecting heroes bit. It does get harder as you go. That said, the energy timer is killing it. If you want people to spend money on your game, then let them spend time in your game. The best FTP games don't have energy timers, or if they do, there is a simple opt-out purchase. I'm fine, even like resource-timers, but energy timers just make me think, "Huh? I guess I'll go spend my time (and therefore money) on something else." If you had a $4.99 IAP to double coins and gems and remove energy requirements, I'd buy it. Also, I'd like to see a "double coins and gems" IAP. I like to pay to speed games up, to buy into a premium experience. I don't want to simply buy fake currency to cheat the system with money. Wicked8146 Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Nov 17, 2009 777 50 28 Dinosaur hunter Los Angeles #11 Wicked8146, Apr 26, 2017 I don't mind the energy timers. I think this game is great. It's a fun RPG match 3. Just go play another game and come back to it later. MintCity Well-Known Member Jun 24, 2016 200 1 18 #12 MintCity, Apr 26, 2017 I agree. You can play this game for a good chunk of time until you have to stop. Once you hit the time to stop, just play something else until it's time again. I understand the frustrations of enjoying it and having to stop...trust me. It's just I think you guys are overreacting a bit. Just my opinion though so take that as you will Qwertz555 Well-Known Member May 22, 2010 2,318 29 48 #13 Qwertz555, Apr 26, 2017 If you mean chapter 1 in the Forrest, and not the whole forrest with 5 chapters, then i have to tell you, very unfortunatetly, there is absolute no challenge at all. Noda. I'm in the middle of chapter 3, ugraded what was possible, spent all energy...and i'm done. Boring. Pity. The art style is so beautiful, so cozy, lol. Presentation is top and even the unique gameplay feels new to me, but also falls being very short. Everything around the interesting gameplay takes way longer to tap through. Pity. I'll pick it up again tomorrow to see if it will start to throw a challenge in my face. Hope. orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #14 orangecan, Apr 26, 2017 You're right of course - but it is very much frustration that drives this reaction because we've essentially got what could be a very good game but is spoiled (not ruined) by its implementation and I think that's what causes people to get annoyed and that's not necessarily meant as a poke at the Dev because I'm sure the freemium mechanics are driven by the fact that they need to make some cash rather than any kind of artistic design decision. Just let me pay them some money to make it a premium title that's all I'm asking AppUnwrapper Well-Known Member Oct 26, 2011 4,062 3 0 http://www.appunwrapper.com/escape-games/ #15 AppUnwrapper, Apr 26, 2017 Yeah, I have to agree. I played until my energy ran out just to see if it gets more interesting. Seems the biggest challenge here is that enemies get more HP as you progress and if you don't make enough matches in time, you won't be able to take them out as quickly as you did earlier. Though, I still only missed getting 3 stars like once or twice. I feel like I'm spending more time collecting/upgrading stuff/watching animations (and waiting) than actually playing. I really love the artwork (more than HE) and the core idea. But if it does get interesting at some point, I won't be playing long enough to find out. Boardumb Administrator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Apr 14, 2009 8,964 880 113 THE BOSS Sacramento, CA #16 Boardumb, Apr 26, 2017 People want to be able to play a game for as long as they want upon first boot up, and then stick it in a folder never to be played again Energy timers are erroneously labeled as "greedy" or "money grabs" when in fact they are the worst performing form of monetization out there. They are literally only there to create "appointment gaming" so that users are actually reminded to come back to games more than once (and of course increase the chances that they'll buy something). I don't love energy timers but I understand what they are for, and most mobile gamers only play for a few minutes at a time anyway. And as you say, there is no shortage of games to switch over to in the meantime. Definitely not a reason to pooh pooh over an otherwise great game, but to each their own ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ rezn Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Mar 8, 2014 862 6 18 Male Coder/Keyer in medical ICD 10 Reno, NV #17 rezn, Apr 26, 2017 Last edited: Apr 27, 2017 Lovely game. I'd love to see an option to remove energy for a fee $3 to $5 and maybe some form of coin doubler implemented as well. Either I'll enjoy it for a while. But removal of those things via IAP would give it some longevity. orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #18 orangecan, Apr 26, 2017 Yeah I'd agree - I've played more and come to the same conclusion. It's not just the freemium elements that are putting me off I'm just not getting any form of progression at all, it's just harder enemies, more hits to kill them, get 2 or 3 stars. Repeat. Slate Well-Known Member Mar 26, 2015 145 6 18 Game Taster Wisconsin #19 Slate, Apr 26, 2017 I don't think it's a matter of overreacting but more that people are enjoying the game and want to continue. The overall theme of these comments is to add an iap to remove the timer. In the end I am pretty sure everyone is simply suffering from "energy timer fatigue". I spent 2.99 on a match 3 game a couple weeks ago simply because it looked appealing and that I could play without ads or restrictions (and to support the Dev).
