    I struggled quite a bit on tutorial level 21. One thing that reinforced with me is that it would be helpful if the tutorial text could be skipped over without going through a bunch of single taps.

    I love the look of this game and the graphics look awesome.

    But why the hell is the App icon so damn UGLY!!? I swear the dev does it to annoy me! 100 rogues was amazing, but I almost didn't buy that game back on the day as the icon was so ugly lol!

    Why can't this icon be nice pixel graphics like the game?!!

    Heh. I guess that's my fault. We had to change the icon to be more marketable and inviting than the tri-color symbol, which was the icon before. We thought the name "Auro" which was cryptic as it is, mixed with an abstract shape would send the wrong message. That people would think it was some match 3 abstract game. So I needed to make character that would connect "auro" with a face, and not scare people off.

    That said, I had one afternoon to make it. So, I absconded the promo art I had illustrated a year ago or so and used that. But it's temporary. As soon as I can pick my head up from the post-release hustle, I plan to make an original icon from the ground up.

    Thanks for playing and feel free to join out forum over at Dinofarm!

    Hello!

    I am around rank 12 and Keith(Lead Designer) may be slightly below me, but only because he spends more time designing than he does playing. But don't worry. In vers. 1.29 it's going to get a lot harder, but in a good way. Lower score goals, but a more compact, higher-stakes, higher tension game all around. Normal mode will feel like how hard feels now. The whole curve will be much improved.

    As to testing? Hop over to Dinofarmgames.com and join our forum. Message Keith there and I'm sure he'll get back to you as soon as he can.

    In the meantime, let this inspire some creativity!

    Deleted, but thought I would give it one more try. Downloaded, but it gets stuck on the Loading screen forever. Deleted again, redownloaded, same deal. Restarted phone twice. Same bug. Guess all those years in dev didn't include making sure game actually ran....

    Because your case couldn't be unique, right? It has to be indicative of the game in general?




    "Hey guys, sucks about HP laptops, right?"

    "What do you mean?"

    "How HP laptops don't work anymore. It sucks. We should file a complaint."

    "What the hell are you talking about? HP laptops stopped working? Like, all of them? "

    "Yeah, looks like it. Mine wouldn't start this morning. I tried, like three times. Whoever built these things should have made sure they actually worked."

    Bro, don't be so dramatic, my app and my friends that play haven't had any problems at all with the game. Just because YOU have a problem running it doesn't just mean it's a reflect on the game

    If it's true after redownloading and rebooting multiple times, then it's most likely not isolated to my particular phone.

    Seriously? That's some crazy logic you're following there.

    "I can't get it to work on ONE device, so it's likely a problem on MANY devices."

    Nevermind that it worked the very first time you downloaded it.

    Hey there! this is an uncommon bug that occurs when your phone is too full. Try deleting old apps and files and try again. We're fixing that in the next patch or two. Sorry about that!

    I am waiting for the iPad graphics fix too. The graphics in the new update, version 1.28, still looks skewed to me on my iPad.

    That's a shame. I like pixel GFX and especially the art in this game but it still has to be sharp to be appealing.

    I hope they do the the iPad justice... and soon.

    Hey fellers. Version 1.28 went up, but it's a pretty small patch, minor stuff. 1.29 is the big daddy which we're working on now. Can't wait to show you guys what we have planned, it's seriously a bunch of great stuff for players of all skill levels.
