While waiting for the beta test version of the game to be ready, here's a map artwork that we have done: An evolution path for one of the gemlings:

Good morning! I've just played the beta for about 15 minutes now and here are some initial notes: I am playing on an iPad Pro with iOS 10.3.3 I generally don't like my match-3s to be the "finish in this many moves" variety, but so far this one is fun. Will there be some sort of introduction into the story in the final version? You are just thrown onto a map with no explanation of what to do or what's going on. While it is certainly possible to pick up storyline as you play, this one seems especially confusing. Is the Manticore sort of creature good or bad? The art makes him look like a bad guy. And the first character you are told to liberate from the cage (Darkwing?) definitely seems like a bad one...so why rescue him? There needs to be some more explanation, I think. There is also no explanation of the gems or the beans...it all seems somewhat confusing and chaotic. Actual gameplay so far: The game crashed for me after the first boss fight. I had run out of moves and hit the "retry" button and was kicked completely out of the game. When I went back in, I hadn't lost my progress and was able to jump into the boss fight again and win it. During that fight, I got one of the manticore-like guys on my board but doubled...which I thought was some sort of glitch. It wasn't until the first level of the next stage that I was given an explanation of the double-power. After the crash, I lost the "Stage clear!" announcement, which I actually was okay with. I'd much rather have a little trumpet fanfare or something other than a squeaky voice. I got to the Stealing the Rainbow stage and my game froze after the first stage. When I pinched to close the game, the second stage started. NOTE: I've never been a beta tester before and am not sure what sort of notes you'd like. Let me know if these are too much or not what you're looking for.
So, I played some more this evening. Entering The Grumpy Cloyver, the game crashed. I was able to go back in and restart at that level. There have been a lot of crashes during this level. Finally, at level 4 in the Cloyver, the game froze completely during the Rainbow Rush, and will not restart when I go back in. I think I'm going to have to restart the iPad to continue.
Thanks for the invite to the beta! Here are some notes so far: 1. Frequent crashes all over the game, but by far the most frequent crashes occur when trying to access the friends screen. 2. Relative to how scoring seems to work on other stages, the scoring on stage 3-4 seems to be off. I've won early, won late, and tried for lots of combos, but at best I can barely score one star. 3. It can be very hard to access gems on the bottom row. Sometimes the game will not let me move them at all while other times I can move them after several times trying. The game is pretty fun so far! Please let me know if there's a better place to report bugs.
Hi Bladejay! Thank you for your feedbacks. Alternative ways to report feedback would be to PM us on our Facebook page or email us at [email protected].
We are also available for discussion on Reddit. In fact, we may have more in-depth discussion about the game on Reddit. Thank you
Started the Beta today. Thanks for the invite! The gameplay is very fun so far. I really like how there are so many different attack areas for the different characters to make team selection strategic. So far I have noticed the game crashes most of the time for me if I do a retry after failing a level. Also, is the only way to level up to sacrifice duplicate characters? I see exp after each match but it doesn't seem to do anything.
