My laptop got stolen a while back, so at home, all I have is a new ipad and iphone 4, so I can't try it out on a pc. The videos look very intrigueing, but with most tetris games, I have fun for 5 minutes, then kind of get a little bored from the kind of repetitive action. This game looks pretty cool, but there are not many videos up on youtube yet, and I can't get the gauge of whether I will play it long term. But it does look very well implemented. Are you planning on having a lite version anytime? This game probably would do well with a lite version since the game probably has very sound gameplay which is hard to get from videos and stuff. And people just may mistake this for a game just like Tetris, even though through the videos it does seem to have a different vibe to it.
I've just PM-ed you a promo code, so you can give it a go, and let us know how you like it (or not?)! (and again, really sucks to hear about your laptop, the weirdest thing is, that the prototype plays fine on an iPad or iPhone, since it's HTML5, not Flash, though Kongregate has that a bit weirdly implemented - I'm already on their back about it. ) We have been thinking about a lite version, yeah, but don't have any concrete plans yet. People do mistake it for Tetris, especially judging by the comments on the Dream of Pixels trailer that IGN posted to their subscribers last week. LOL, that was quite a failure, actually, even though it had quickly amassed a couple of thousand views. Oh, I just realized, Robin Rhys did a nice job of explaining the game in this video: Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Otherwise, I thought John Polson did a really awesome job of explaining the game in his 4.5 star review of Dream of Pixels, that, again, we cannot thank him and TouchArcade enough for - it was the primary trigger to sky-rocket Dream of Pixels for us!
@Devs: my game crashes sometimes. It happens after a few games which go fine, then just prior to game over, when I click berserk on the screen to try and survive, it crashes. Am I the only one experiencing this? My config: Iphone 4s 16GB ios6.01 Spanish settings non-jb Thanks
Looking into this! Thanks for reporting! If you can consistently repeat this bug, I'd LOVE to hear! PLEASE, let me know, either PM or here! THANKS!
Not sure if it's ok to post "foreign" reviews here but I'll just risk it. First, let me say that we're still most proud of the 4.5 star toucharcade.com review by John Polson. Still in awe. Ok, now I can continue? Ok, so, yesterday, Dream of Pixels was App of the day on GameTrailers.com! And today, just now, it's GAOTD on Kotaku.com! Now, we are most looking forward to the results of the TA forum GotW poll! Thank you, guys, for voting for us!
Glad you have all those reviews the game is that good it's a Tetris kinda game but more then that there's alot of modes plus puzzle(still stuck on fez) plus its not a rush play kinda game its clam and soothing(till the white screen of death) or more of white screen of waking up since its dreaming of pixels.
Oh, also - metacritic! \o/ this here will be cool to see in a couple of days! http://www.metacritic.com/game/ios/dream-of-pixels Thanks again, all of you! (ok, ok, I'll just add the thanking to the signature...)
Solid game, played for a while last night. For a tetris like game, boy this game takes some learning, which actually was very pleasant. It was very original, much more than I would have thought, I just kind of unfairly judged it as a tetris clone, but it is far from it. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the game, and I have to play some more tonight. Very highly recommended!
