This is my generic strategy post. It works on any difficulty level with minor tweaking. On normal you should be able to go well past 100,000 with this. http://forums.toucharcade.com/showpost.php?p=1974825&postcount=2093 If you have any specific questions, then please feel free to ask. The combo you're using above is part of the halfing masochism combo. The full masochism combo has the abilities that turn stuff into coins as well. So you will turn as much stuff into coins as possible and then once you have done that you turn all the coins into skulls. If done right almost the entire screen should be skulls and you should be doing that as frequently as possible to really boost your armor via the halfling ability. It's a solid build that I've reached about 80,000 on (on hard) but it plays a lot differently than the strategy I mentioned in my post referenced above. Also if you're going for high scores the collection abilities are sub par. You want the boost abilities (that give you more per item collected) and then abilities that transform other stuff into the type of tile you are boosting. You can grab a collection skill with any remaining open skill slots if desired (I'd suggest skill elixir if you do) but I tend to go with stuff like slash instead. The two most popular versions of this type of strategy are the boost armor one I mentioned in my post referenced above and the boost gold one I hope that helps!
Thanks for your reply, I'll probably take some time to absorb all of it. I'm currently still left with levelling 3 more classes to level 5 (your generic strategy tips will be helpful here), after which I'll probably go with halfing masochism because it's the most fun I've had in this game. It's very satisfying to convert coins into skulls, clear the remaining shields and potions with skills then mass chaining skulls. Do you have any tips for priest? I'm at level 10, played 37 games with it but my high score is only 4590.
Honestly the classes don't make huge differences for high score runs typically as most of their abilities are not best suited for high scores. I skip the class abilities when selecting skills for high scores. So I don't have any specific tips for the priest class. I'd just go with my general stuff and you should be able to break that score quite easily. But you're already on the right track by playing the build you have the most fun with so keep at it and good luck!
Anyone have issues with smooth scrolling? I have an iPhone 4. I noticed sometimes the scrolling of the tiles are no longer smooth, even with the Smooth option on (I never turned it off). Killing the game task, and all other tasks does not fix the problem. Only rebooting the iPhone fixes it.
Sorry if this has been covered somewhere in the 213 pages! Will there be a Universal / IPad version on this anytime does anyone know?
Fireflame said he would like to do it at some point but he probably wouldn't do it until the new artwork was done so he could revamp the whole UI for that and the Ipad at the same time. That was shortly before he went dormant and the one update he gave since then was that he hoped to have the new artwork done when he came back. So potentially it could be his first big update once he comes back but who knows when that will be. It's been almost 6 months since he's posted here or we've seen an update. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if he just does a dungeon raid 2 when comes back.

It's an unusal pick because of the reasons they mention. I never really got into Battleheart (I think I had problems with the small screen on the iPhone and characters overlapping), and Mage Gauntlet is a great, very fun game. But I still have to think Dungeon Raid holds that place for me as the best iOS game so far. I'm surprised Aralon wasn't on their list, that would have the #2 slot for me.
What happened to the dev, he was last online back in May, can't find a twitter or facebook page. It's a shame cause I would love to have a Dungeon Raid 2 or something.
I tried to look for this but failed, although I'm sure someone already answered this before: is there any difference between the full version and the lite version? From the app descriptions it seems the lite version is missing out on the classes only, true?
Tell me about it, was pretty awesome of the touch arcade staff to recognize this addicting gem. Easily my most played game of last year. My opinion of the TA writers went up, as they actually had good games as their personal favorites, that's for sure (was initially dissapointed in the S&S goty because I thought S&S was an overrated art experiment that if you didn't say you liked it you weren't cool! when in all reality it was kind of garbage gameplay wise).
I just picked this little sleeper up tonight after seeing it get so much front page love. Glad I did, what a hidden gem! Super addicting match-3.
http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?p=1863933#post1863933 Yeah I'd love to know this too. Way back in May he said he had some personal stuff to take care of and it might be a while before he came back... but this has been a long while now. I hope all is well with him!
*Necromancy raises deceased thread* Anyone having any trouble with achievements not activating in this game? I have seen a few that I KNOW I got but they don't seem to activate on my GC account.
This topic brings back so many memories. Every time I see it on the front page my eyes light up. Fireflame...wherever you are, I hope you're doing well and wish you continued success.
one of the best puzzle games i have played. Been on my ipod touch4g since i got it, and still playing it for my puzzle fix.
