Now that customization is all free, this is a great opportunity to transition to rewardable icons and achievements that grant you icons you can "brag" about. I think that would encourage people to play even more. Love the game, but real missed opportunity if they don't. Think of Hearthstone and how often the player is rewarded with unlockable stuff
So I lost on round 89. Can anyone beat that? (Longest game I mean) That should be a gamecentre leaderboard! But then they will just hack it I guess .
The lost things don't bother him, don't worry. He was able to see one video. Then it went back to videos not available, and he is out of lives now. He is able to watch videos in other apps, however.
The player base has ruined this game for me. Too many opponents blatantly use anagram finder apps and nail you with words like "asymptotically" and "confabulatory" every turn. Too bad there's not a consistently fair-playing community for this game, it seems to be the very best of its kind.
"Ruined" is kind of strong. You can find lots of fair players in this thread. Rematch players you have good games with. Also, once you get your ranking up a bit, I'm guessing you will get matched with more experience players who are probably not cheating.
Well, my son is still locked out of getting new lives. Is there any progress on understanding why that might be happening? I'm considering the purchase of infinite lives to get around this, but I'm at a pause because... ...and I don't understand where the monetization would come in at that point. I want to support a game that will still be around (catch 22, that, eh?).
I understand people are concerned about cheating and whatnot, and to an extent having a leaderboard that displayed our actual ELO rating or win streak, etc., might encourage foul play to get your name on there. I wonder if that ranking or win streak data might be displayed on our own stats page though. It would be fun to see and compare with our friends and competitors even with no GC leaderboard. Longest word is fun. New longest: FUNCTIONALITIES
Yeah, it might be your location unfortunately. It seems not many as networks serve ads in certain parts of the world.
Personally do not like the new lives system. For me has spoiled what was a good game especially with ads not working. Deleted.
Way to break what was an awesomely fun game guys. Honestly, I'm now considering deleting this game because of the new lives system. What was wrong with the original method?
We put the Infinite Lives IAP at 50% off right now, for anyone that was on on the fence. Other things in the works: - just implemented something today so that you won't be auto-matched with the same opponent while you already have a game open with them - update should be approved any day now that makes extra lives more available, as well as ads a communication system between players via emotes.
Cool. How long will Infinite Lives be on sale? Through the holiday weekend? Also, who has the highest ELO rating in the game? It would be fun to challenge the best players. Last thing, if you are working on a timed mode, I suggest that it operate like a chess clock. That way it forces you to be quick on low stakes moves, but allows you to be a little bit more patient in the high leverage situations. That would be a very fun mode as the clock starts to run out on you.
I'm saddened. The player I've played the most games against (13), and have been playing against since my first day, had their game expire against me. I suspect they ran out of lives. I hope they come back when the next version is released. Sound nitpick: the back arrow to deselect tiles should also have the low sound.
