Besides the above the non selectable ads are very intrusive. I think the idea of a game should be to give the gamer an enjoyable experience, not the experience of serving like a cash cow but times are changing, I'm old and maybe wrong. Ogre Pixel Well-Known Member Oct 23, 2014 221 8 18 http://www.ogrepixel.com #4 Ogre Pixel, Aug 30, 2017 Developer here! Hey thanks for your opinion, we tried to balance the game in a way it was challenging while keeping the "easy to learn, hard to master" approach. We will take in consideration your comment. Thanks for playing Zilk Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Jul 27, 2015 180 2 18 #5 Zilk, Aug 30, 2017 Sweet! I've been playing this since the beta. Awesome game! Congrats in launching it OgrePixel! Ogre Pixel Well-Known Member Oct 23, 2014 221 8 18 http://www.ogrepixel.com #6 Ogre Pixel, Aug 30, 2017 Thank you! Glad you liked it sobriquet Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Jul 30, 2015 1,216 1 38 #7 sobriquet, Aug 30, 2017 The game is pretty solid but I'm really turned off the currency balance. The game rewards you more for watching ads than it does for playing. I made 18 gold on the first level and then got 150 gold for watching an ad. Not even the gold doubler would balance that out, so spending real money will not eliminate the need to watch ads. The difficulty is also a little too hard. If you miss draw one symbol you're done, game over. No second chance. That's kind of crazy. So we have a fairly difficult game that gives you almost nothing for playing and only rewards you for watching ads. I feel bad but I guess this isn't for me. Ogre Pixel Well-Known Member Oct 23, 2014 221 8 18 http://www.ogrepixel.com #8 Ogre Pixel, Aug 30, 2017 Hey, thanks for the comments! Yeah! we have just submitted an update with a better currency balance, so new update will hopefully be available tomorrow Thanks for playing! Rooie1154 Active Member Patreon Silver Sep 24, 2012 41 0 6 #9 Rooie1154, Aug 30, 2017 So, I've played this for a bit now and I agree...too many ads, if you want to make any gold at all. Also, I just had a game where the second level started and there was no pattern to trace. That is, the circle at the top of the screen between the hero and the enemy was completely blank. With nothing to trace, the timer ran down and I was dead. I sort of feel that as long as the timer is going, you should be able to back-track your tracing and try again. I'm sure that that option was thought of during the beta-testing and dismissed for some reason. I feel as though there is a germ of a good game here...just not quite there yet for me. Ogre Pixel Well-Known Member Oct 23, 2014 221 8 18 http://www.ogrepixel.com #10 Ogre Pixel, Aug 30, 2017 Ohh that's a bug, will take a look at it. New update with better game balance coming tomorrow Thanks for the comments! Noomen Well-Known Member Sep 14, 2014 68 0 6 #11 Noomen, Aug 30, 2017 Why can't every dev use swipes and gestures like this instead of stupid buttons. This one was an immediate download.

Enjoy verlaine Well-Known Member Jul 26, 2012 216 1 18 #14 verlaine, Aug 31, 2017 This is fun I have a couple of suggestions: --If you accidentally make a mistake while drawing a rune, maybe there should be a button or swipe that allows you to quickly delete everything and start over again. --When the Soul Strike mode ends and you're still in the middle of drawing a rune, then maybe allow the 'tableau' to be immediately 'refreshed' when the game reverts to its regular mode. Ogre Pixel Well-Known Member Oct 23, 2014 221 8 18 http://www.ogrepixel.com #15 Ogre Pixel, Aug 31, 2017 Thanks for the suggestions, here are a couple of comments: If you fail a gesture you can release the touch and start again and about the Soul Strike thing we will take a look at that. Thanks! Rooie1154 Active Member Patreon Silver Sep 24, 2012 41 0 6 #16 Rooie1154, Aug 31, 2017 So....somehow I can't stop playing this game... I did discover that you do have a chance...if you are very, very quick...to re-swipe. I haven't managed to do so successfully yet, but it's nice to know there is a possibility. And if I ignore pushing the "view ad" button for extra time or gold or whatever, the game is much more enjoyable, though the gold builds quite slowly. Ogre Pixel Well-Known Member Oct 23, 2014 221 8 18 http://www.ogrepixel.com #17 Ogre Pixel, Aug 31, 2017 Thanks, we are glad you liked it. We submitted an update with an overall game balance, so next update will make Swipe Casters a better experience! Thanks for the feedback sobriquet Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Jul 30, 2015 1,216 1 38 #18 sobriquet, Aug 31, 2017 I just picked up one of the coin pack codes, thank you. I like free stuff. I used the coins to buy the silver armor and it doesn't seem to do anything. I have all three pieces checked in the shop but it does not give me extra life. What does "extra life" mean? Does it let you continue for free. Whatever it's supposed to do I'm not seeing any difference. Will the gold armor stack with the silver armor? What is the difference between them? I also bought the easy difficulty character and the staff for increasing coin drops. It looks like you have to buy each piece of equipment for each character. Is that right? Seems aggressive. Thanks again for the coins and I really am enjoying the game. The swiping is nerve racking. Ogre Pixel Well-Known Member Oct 23, 2014 221 8 18 http://www.ogrepixel.com #19 Ogre Pixel, Aug 31, 2017 When you have full silver set on, the character has gold clothes and starts to shine in particles, also when you play you should appear with a small heart just below the SS bar (if it doesn't it's a bug ) and when you get hitted that heart dissapears. Full Gold Armor gives 2 extra lives (no stackable, you have to buy all set) Yeah, each character has it's own upgrades. Please check the Silver Set, you should have a working extra life, if you don't please send us a couple of screenshots to [email protected] that would help us a lot Thanks! sobriquet Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Jul 30, 2015 1,216 1 38 #20 sobriquet, Aug 31, 2017 Ok, so you consider the items you purchase as upgrades to the character. That makes sense. I just checked and it appears the armor has to be X'ed instead of checked for it to be equipped. It does work when equipped but it is confusing with the way it has to be equipped. Despite my complaints this really is a fun game. You have to have pretty fast reflexes and the timer is a killer. Thanks for you diligents in addressing our issues.
