Fantastic game! shiftshaft Member Mar 16, 2022 17 34 13 #7 shiftshaft, Mar 16, 2022 @Shin You can safely background the app and it will save your progress. The next time you come back to the app it will prompt you to continue the run if you would like. Thanks for playing!

Game Center integration would be awesome for high score leaderboards too. shiftshaft Member Mar 16, 2022 17 34 13 #10 shiftshaft, Mar 16, 2022 Thanks for that feedback. Currently there are no sound fx, only music. The sound engine was causing a lot of crashes so I pulled it out for the initial release. Yes! That would be awesome. It's in the backlog and depending and I hope to get it into the next release. Anotherkellydown likes this.

Keep working very good match 3+ aussiepaul Well-Known Member Aug 18, 2013 130 36 28 #13 aussiepaul, Mar 17, 2022 Last edited: Mar 17, 2022 Nice game Dev. Reminds me a bit of Swap Sword. The rotate the screen mechanic keeps you thinking as well. Cant wait to put more time into this one. ShinHadoukin Well-Known Member Feb 20, 2015 972 143 43 #14 ShinHadoukin, Mar 17, 2022 I have to add to how cool this game is and being different in a matching world by stating that my least favorite (and typically avoided) match-stuff game type is the "tap a group"(just tap a cluster & not move pieces). Even with that opinion, this game really does something different & cool that has me loving this game even more. Crazy. shiftshaft Member Mar 16, 2022 17 34 13 #15 shiftshaft, Mar 17, 2022 It's really nice that people are giving feedback, I kinda thought that I would release this into the void and hear nothing. Now that people, like you, are giving feedback it gives me motivation to add new game modes. So please keep the feedback coming and consider telling a friend about the game Hi, sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the music. Just so I understand let me repeat the issue you are experiencing. You have muted the in-game music because you prefer to listen to music on Deezer when you play. Every time you finish a level, your music on Deezer stops playing. Please let me know if I misunderstood. Otherwise, I'll mark this as a top-priority bug. Thanks so much for the bug report. Swap Sword looks really cool, I'll need to check it out. I'm so glad you like the game, please consider sharing it with a friend. Yes totally, during testing we found that the swap-and-pop mechanic made the game a lot more about the rocks and less about the player so I ended sticking with "tap-a-group". However, I am interested in exploring a game mode with swap-and-pop, maybe we can work it into the Shift Shaft sequel. Anyhow, I'm really glad you like it, please consider sharing the game with a friend if you think they would like it. gaberaph, Anotherkellydown and aussiepaul like this.
