Thanks! I was a little worried that the crossover between "casino-like" and "rogue-like" might be too small. I'm enjoying it, so that's something
Man, never a crossover too small! I’m working on a game that could be considered a cross of pong and an action RPG. if you have to stop and ask yourself : is this too niche? you’re probably well on your way to something great!
I firmly believe that crossovers of these genres work quite well. Just look at the the Game Stew games: all kind of casino games mixed with RPG and it works like a charm! I would gladly participate in the beta or just wait for A WHOLE MONTH to actually play it
Thanks for all the positive replies! I'm just working through a "restore purchases" issue today, then Apple approval, then I'll get some beta keys out to people on this thread.
I’m not the biggest fan of Blackjack, but I assume the crossover with Poker would be too complicated so I’ll deal with it. Also, setting a release date on Valentine’s Day is such a romantic gesture. You just got me there.
If this game gets some traction, I want to do some fresh takes on Poker. Maybe even Pai Gow... It's hard to see at first blush, but as you level up you'll get more than one card to choose from when you "hit" and those cards can be face up or face down. Once you level up to 10+ you are playing BlackJack, but you are picking from the next 3 cards, most of which would be face up. I do worry, that the first few floors you play could frustrate players as it's just plain BlackJack--but once you kill 4 or 5 enemies, you start getting the "flipped up" card bonus and your victory rate goes way up. It's funny, we released our last game on Valentines day as well. It just worked We also got our Game of the Day feature on Mother's Day--it must be destiny.
Google Play Open Beta just went through... Updated the top post. https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.ponywolf.roguejack Have at it!
Updated with an Apple Test Flight link... https://testflight.apple.com/join/2XPc52U3 Please let me know if you find any issues...
wow pal, this game is really fantastic, and very ingenious, love the combination of styles. thanks a lot also for the art and music, they take me back in time to those glorious days of 8bit devices! edit> and the game icon is simply perfect!
When you find a piece of equipment, there needs to be a way to compare it to your current equipment before deciding whether or not to switch.
That’s a good idea. Should be pretty easy to have a button that flips back and forth from what you have. Thanks.
Really love this. Excited to see you’re still considering a poker element, that would really be great! Also looking forward to the swipe option. great game!
