I was completely worried that there wasn't much of an audience. We got tons of great feedback from our beta/coming soon thread here on TA.

Are you kidding me? I have a TON of new games to play this week, yet I haven't been able to put this down for the last couple of hours! This is coming from a guy who generally doesn't care for roguelikes and has touched real, physical cards for less than hour total in 35 years. Once I get off my old man's iPad and back on my phone I'll be shelling out the 2 bucks for the IAP. Great, great stuff!

It’s been proven already in previous thread under the upcoming games category that we all love your game unconditionally and wholeheartedly. And I’m sure you’ll receive additional praise now when the game’s fully released. So, no worries and enjoy the launch.

The heart does nothing, while the home opens up the Ponywolf App Store developer page. *shrugs* ponywolf Well-Known Member Dec 4, 2018 56 32 18 #9 ponywolf, Feb 14, 2020 Thanks, I'll take a look. The home button should take you to our games on our website, not on the dev pages. The heart should pull up the review dialog... whoops. metalcasket likes this.

Swiping, mid-game saves* and whatever bugs crop up post-launch are on the list for the first update. * (e.g. You pause the game and forget to come back, you can continue from that floor with same health, xp and weapons) AltsKev likes this. stubbieoz Well-Known Member Jun 23, 2015 1,878 355 83 Male Grey haired gamer NSW Australia #12 stubbieoz, Feb 14, 2020 Played the beta, loved it, bought!

They do all play a little differently. You can touch a discovered monster to see their info again. solarnya Well-Known Member Jul 22, 2015 895 281 63 Male Close to Tokyo, Japan #16 solarnya, Feb 15, 2020 seconded ponywolf Well-Known Member Dec 4, 2018 56 32 18 #17 ponywolf, Feb 16, 2020 Pushed a little update (1.0.5) for both iOS and Android. I believe the Google Play Store has picked it up, still waiting on Apple. stubbieoz likes this. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,064 1,340 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #18 metalcasket, Feb 17, 2020 Came across a couple of times where the game will become unresponsive. Don’t know if this was also an issue pre-update, but the characters will still continue to bobble and the music still plays. Regardless, shit...I still can’t put this down. Love it. ponywolf Well-Known Member Dec 4, 2018 56 32 18 #19 ponywolf, Feb 17, 2020 I hope that's in 1.0.4... I just pushed 1.0.5 late yesterday and I thought I had caught the issue. I built a new queue system to stack all the effects and it seemed to get messed up when dialog was showing in a separate queue. I'm basically bug hunting 24/7 right now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thanks for the kind words, we got featured on the Appstore in Singapore and China over the weekend, so we have a lot more people playing than I ever thought we would. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,064 1,340 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #20 metalcasket, Feb 17, 2020 Come to think of it, there was definitely an instance of it while I was still on 1.0.4, but it did happen once (hence me posting) on 1.0.5. Maybe it was a remnant of the bug that transitioned over with the first launch post-update? I'll definitely let you know if it happens again. Also, congrats on getting featured!
