    The art style is beautiful, and the background music matches perfectly. Very nice!

    Lowglow Beta build 2 is available!

    Hi!

    Beta build 2 is now available via Testflight!

    What we have fixed so far:
    - The accuracy of line destroying has been improved
    - Shop is now called Glow Centre (Because the player manages the glow in there)
    - Improvements to the tutorial
    - Players can now pass a level by getting only one drop of light to the goal(Improves the flow of the game)
    - Glow has to be claimed in Glow Centre
    - The story has been shortened and the spelling errors have been corrected (thanks to all spell checkers!)
    - Level doesn't pan anymore if player tries to draw a line with multiple fingers

    Known bugs:
    - No internet connection -> Superlag
    - Rate game popup covers the loading bar
    - IAP prices are placed wrong in iphone 5s
    - Unlock unlimited screen has a bug with the back button being visible after purchase
    - In the main menu the shader behind the faces starts to glitch after a while
    - Drawing a line with multiple fingers locks the line in edit mode

    Features that are under construction:
    - Get more glow pop-up will be re-designed
    - "Back" -button in IAP scene will be changer to "world map" -button
    - Achievements
    - Push notifications
    - The level order will be modified

    What do think about Lowglow’s icon?

    Love the icon as it's beautiful and at the same time appears mysterious. Reinstalling so I can start all over :p

    The visual style appeals to me. Visuals mixed with the audio make for a relaxing vibe. This game is certainly something that I would play when I would want to take a time out from the hurries of the week. The above-mentioned bugs and spelling issues aside, I think the game looks awesome, would play more! Will follow you guys on this :)

    Hi! Joni is at the moment on vacation and I am keeping the testflight running until he returns. Yes, there is a new build in testflight. :) We have made several bug fixes and added another Ad network (Chartboost). So now we are able to serve ads from two different ad networks. Glow cost for unlocking level packs has been reduced to 1 from 5 and glow cost for entering levels has been increased by 1 for all levels. Watch ad cooldown has been recuded to 3 minutes ad its rewarded glow has been decreased to 2 from 3. We have also made an special offer which allows you to buy unlimited energy for -50% price.

    Thanks for the update.

    Saw the special offer pop up. Also, I'm glad to report that the spelling issues are fixed :)

    Any chance of getting the glow automatically being add to the total glow amount? I see the reasoning of why you are directing users to the GLOW CENTER but you can (or have) always direct them there for additional glow when they run out.

    Looks awesome! We might be able to help you with testers! Will get in touch elsewhere as this forums doesn't like advertisement!

    Hi!

    In the first version the glow added automatically to the storage, but we felt that we need to drive more people to the Glow Centre.

    Thanks for your feedback, we have to think about this. Not sure which way is better.

    - Joni
