Let us know your highscore on this one, you've killed it on Loop Mania Because we finally met after 7 years of working together, and because we're releasing Back To Square One today, Loop Mania next week, and Minescape at the end of the month, we have decided to get something to mark this special occasion.

I'd like to play more in portrait mode (great one-hander), but it's too zoomed in. To my fully enjoyment, i need to see one and a half square more to plan ahead more efficiently and to stand a chance to come even close to my low score (106) played in landscape. Possible to add a zoom option, please? Nitpicking stuff - maybe the background colors could get randomized right from the start? Though i'm sure it won't hold my daily attention for too long, it's definitely a longtime keeper. Good one-hander games are a rare species. The very polished and beautiful artwork, the atmosphere, responsive controls and cute characters are worth your time to give it a try. Edit: coming from a very fast paced game for the last nine days, i simply had to adjust my speed. Getting better in portrait mode (knowing the sequences) so i cut back my wish to see the fifth square in full, please. I'm Gruul - love this character for his look and deep voice. cowtruck123 Well-Known Member Oct 13, 2012 270 0 0 #5 cowtruck123, Apr 15, 2016 This game is pretty fun.

Umbrella Well-Known Member Mar 21, 2015 121 0 0 USA #8 Umbrella, Apr 15, 2016 Thanks guys for playing! It seems like App Store is still having some issues with their servers and the game has not appeared in many countries featured list including the USA (iphone) list. We are not the only game effected by this issue and we are hoping they solve this quickly so more people can notice and play our game.

Luckily haven't had a single crash. I've put in an hour total so far. Did you try all the usual stuff like making sure you've got extra space, rebooting, etc.? Also what OS version are you running? Just beat Roger (for now) with a score of 110. Still wishing there was a daily coin bonus or missions that rewarded you with coins. Also, I'd gladly pay a couple bucks for a coin doubler IAP.

THE NETHERLANDS #18 ROGER-NL, Apr 21, 2016 I am number 8 on the avarage leaderboard, that's because I had the white screen of death and needed to do the factory reset, but all my progress for this game was gone, so I also need to unlock every character again, flint with the parrot was my favorite, hope Apple will fix this soon with the 9.3.2 update. My normal avarage was 49 now it is 72 sorry ha ha. cy@n Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2011 1,812 17 38 "Mein Land" #19 cy@n, Apr 23, 2016 Just wanted to say: GREAT game!
