    2nd that! I liked the concept in the orig update, but was completely confused by the menu system. This seems a lot more straightforward. Also, the little "i" that quietly sits there so frequently on screens (not specifically Dungeon Raid, btw) is a great design feature on iPhone.

    I'm a bit sad about the Mimic vanishing, b/c I thought that was cool. Sometimes you are just going & going & then all of a sudden "Hey, what just happened?!?!?" when you slash the invisible Mimic. :)
    (I'm significantly more sad about whats going on w/all the slashes in federal govt spending, however!)

    Thanks again for the updates & great work!!

    Jesus Christ he took out Mimic!!! You cry babies are something else.....
    It's a monster that does monstrous things, wasn't that the point?

    I'm purposefully keeping my girlfriend away from this game in case she gets addicted to it and I can't start my own game off.

    Great game and had tons of playing time from me, probably the most played game on my iPad since I got it a week or so ago.

    Speaking of iPad, any chance of an iPad version, or making it universal and increasing the resolution?

    Fireflame has mentioned wanting to make it universal at some point. So I know it's on his giant list of features to potentially add.

    Yeah me too! I hope he adds it back as a menu feature (defaulting it to no). That way the few of us who like it can play with it again :- )

    Excellent!

    Just out of interest, is there a good guide anywhere? I'm seeing scores like 91k here, my best is 3k! :D

    Obviously there's techniques for getting better scores that I've got no clue on. Do people wait for the board to fill up with skulls and clear them in one go? Do people collect shields/coins in sets of 3 or wait for a big chain? Any newbie advice to getting much better scores are appreciated!

    Yeah, I need some tips on unlocking some new classes and leveling up the old ones. Can't seem to unlock anyone else other than the archer and I can't even level him up. D:

    How the hell do you level up anyway? :) I keep on playing game after game and managed to unlock two new classes, but no matter what I do, they all stay on level 1 :)

    EDIT: link fixed

    If you have any specific strategy questions I'd be happy to elaborate :- )


    As for leveling up classes... every trophy you get has a 50-50 chance of unlocking a new class or leveling up the one you are currently playing. It's completely random so just keep at it!

    To speed up the process I know some people took big game hunter as a skill and just tried to kill as many specials as possible. Also unlocking the changeling race can help with this strategy since it can speed up the cooldown on big game hunter. Personally I just kept playing normally and having fun. Still haven't maxed out every classes levels, but I'm having fun working on it :- )

    Not right now, but I'm hoping to add multiple save slots soon!

    You can still attack frozen enemies, they just don't attack you. Yeah, I see that disappearing number now too, will fix

    Hah yeah, it confused a lot of new players and those just updating, I'd have several bug report emails about it most days so at least for now the mimic is out, hopefully the 3 new enemies make up for it

    Yep, currently have an artist reworking all the graphics, which will be used to add retina support and then universal :)

    Nice update - it helped to clean things up.

    I have a suggestion for Haste. Is it possible to allow us to choose the tile that turns into the "link"? That would make this spell a lot more useful and strategic, because currently it's random and often ends up collecting dust at the bottom of the screen.

    I'm pretty sure this random placement of the link is not a matter of convenience to the player, but for game balancing. If the player could DECIDE exactly where it went it could become way too powerful.

    What a fun puzzle game. I tried it for a couple of minutes yesterday and ended up playing it for well over an hour. Anyone can try different tactics by choosing certain upgrades and spells. We can get different armor, weapons, choose to do more attacks, choose better defense, etc... Try filling your shields, attack the skulls, get gold, cast a spell or fill your health back up? It looks like a lot of thought went into this.

    Since fireflame said it's going universal you might as well buy it now and get in on the fun! It's not like he's doing different versions for the iphone and ipad afterall.

    Yeah, there won't be any iPhone/iPad/HD/ExtraSuper version split, so if you buy the current version it'll later be updated for free with the new graphics & any iPad interface changes

    Will the update erase a saved game? I'm having probably my best game ever (which isn't saying much, since I'm still within 500 or so turns :p), and really don't want to have it deleted.

    Cheers for the update, just got my 1st 50,000+ score :), I'm sure the mimics have lost me half my health and stopped me getting that far before.

    Although good the mimics are a cheap way to lose half your health.

    Any Rough Idea when the new artwork will go live??

    P.S. Great Game, I'd go so far as to say for me one of the best. Just want to crack 70 grand now.....

    Thanks for nothing. I already spend far too much time playing this game then I should. Now you tell me I am going to have another addiction to feed. You are killing me. :)

    The Lich/Liche is really tough. You need to match it's crown with coins the round after you kill it or it respawns. If you use something like Dazzle, you have no coins to match it with. I had one come back twice before I got it for good.

    The other two were good as well, I don't want to give too much away! A great game just keeps getting better and better.

    Question about the 10+ matching perk. Does that include extra xps for skulls? Hard to tell.

    Thanks!
