Haven't had enough time to play yet for a firm opinion, but initial impressions are very good. I'll post more later after I have a bit more time to play. Can say this much for now though: this isn't a throwaway title. Clearly some care and attention to detail have been applied, and no one thinking about picking this up need be concerned about a general lack of quality or polish. freedog Well-Known Member Mar 11, 2009 6,272 0 0 #7 freedog, Nov 15, 2010 The game has been temporarily removed from the store. Pitta Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2008 3,417 133 63 Male Italy #8 Pitta, Nov 15, 2010 Was there any story or is it a compilations of battles? Thanks! lazypeon Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Feb 19, 2009 546 0 0 Software San Jose, CA http://www.lazypeongames.blogspot.com #9 lazypeon, Nov 15, 2010 It's not clear to me from the screenshots what the gameplay is like. I don't see anything about what you fight against, or if there's more to the game than the battles. I assumed initially the game would be like Puzzle Quest, but without more screenshot variety it's hard to say. I'd be curious to see a gameplay video / more pics. Gabrien Well-Known Member Nov 24, 2009 5,148 0 36 #10 Gabrien, Nov 15, 2010 Game Impressions Ok, basically: this is a lot like a cross between a match-3 and a rogue-like. Nearest thing to it I can think of is Puzzle Quest, except that there is no story to speak of: again, think more "rogue-like" than "RPG" and you'll just about nail it. Gameplay isn't the same type of match-3 as Bejeweled, Puzzle Quest, etc. either, as you can probably tell from screenshots. You don't slide the tiles but rather draw a line through 3 or more of the same type that are adjacent. Vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Another significant difference from Puzzle Quest is that you aren't battling an opponent; you are actually battling the skull tiles which appear on the board. Each one on board will do damage to you every turn. Matching sword tiles with skull tiles will in turn damage the skulls and eliminate them. Eliminating skulls gives you experience which in turn gains you levels and upgrades. Additionally you are able to match coins until you fill up you purse/chest, at which point you are able to access a store to purchase weapons/armor, and, also match shields which replenish your defense and deflect some damage before your actual HPs go down. Essentially then, the gameplay consists of balancing damaging the skulls with collecting coins and replenishing your armour. The goal appears to be simply to survive for as long as possible. Running out of hits points means game over and a restart from the beginning. The game has local leaderboards only, which is the only serious flaw I could find. Thankfully, it's also one that's very easily fixed. Technically everything appears to be sound, polished and well put together. Graphics and sound are adequate. Gameplay is fast and smooth. No music but it says you are able to play your own. Overall a strong recommendation. Hopefully global leaderboards will be added, and if the dev chooses I can easily see a number of possible other enhancements and gameplay additions which could make this even stronger down the road. Pitta Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2008 3,417 133 63 Male Italy #11 Pitta, Nov 15, 2010 Thank you very much for the detailed impressions. Seems very interesting. There is something I did not understand...do you explore anything (like in a roguelike)? Or the screenshots above are the only screens you see during a game? It's like....tetris? You start and go on on the 'same' screen till you die? Gabrien Well-Known Member Nov 24, 2009 5,148 0 36 #12 Gabrien, Nov 15, 2010 Yes, there is no exploring or any other viewpoint; (at least that I have seen) the game is played out on the puzzle board until you run out of hit points.

Thanks for posting your impressions, Gabrien, a lot of care's been taken to playtest and polish the game and I'm glad that it shows. Global leaderboards is definitely one of the things I plan to add in if there's interest, but I'd love to hear any other suggestions you have. And I'd appreciate any positive or negative feedback from anyone else playing, hopefully I can fix any negatives and improve the game for everyone. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
