    I am so sorry for your disappointing experience. We will consider insert a better tutorial in the game and polish more.

    Thank you so much for the bugs i will correct this today so that asap there will be an update.

    The game could seems an alpha because of his development story:
    end 2012- Beginning of development for a Premium iPad game or midcore/hardcore player.
    middel 2013 - The game is "converted" to a freemium and universal
    middel 2014 - Signet contract with a big mobile publisher that convert the game to casual ( ripping off all the campaign story) rebuilt in 3 month in unity
    end 2014 - We fight to have back our IP from the publisher
    This is the complicate story of this game, and i am realy sad that al this reflects in the app.

    we will try to improve really fast on this one now.

    Thank you so much for your time and suggestion

    Best regards

    Yves

    That's sad to read. I probably would have enjoyed this game a lot more as a premium midcore game, but I guess you had your reasons to switch to freemium, probably in order to make money from it. That make me sad because I'm earning my life and I don't care spending a few dollars for a game. I don't like the freemium model though. There is a very few freemium game I played more than one or two hours. I wish you the best for the future of this game.

    Thank you for your kind words, i personally think that this is the normal process of learning and growing in what you are doing. Might the game be a complete disaster economically speaking, but we learned so much from it, and fortunately when things get out of control we started doing some games for hire. So right now we are removing completely the adv from the game because for the little we make from it it hase no sense to piss off players and we are looking to bring a great experience to you all with the next update and Multiplayer.

    Our choice to make a freemium game comes from a desire to have more people playing it, one of my wettest dream is one day to seat on a bus or train next to someone that is playing one of our game:D

    Ads with no way to pay to turn them off. No option menu that I can see to turn off music.

    Sorry to hear that, with an in app purchase the ads will be removed, and the music can be turned off in the main menu, in the pause menu and later in the game in the lateral bar with all options.

    This is a game I feel that after a few updates will become a great game. As it as at the moment it is a decent game. A few things that need to change are the prices for juice at the moment it is too much. As far as I can tell the only way to get worthwhile cards is to buy the booster packs.
    Sadly it costs a little more then five dollars to buy the second booster pack. That wouldn't be a problem if the difficulty spike didn't happen so abrubtly. I'm at the end of the first map and already bought one booster, combined a bunch of cards, and equipped weapons and shields. But the ai's deck improves so drastically from match 19-20 I don't see a way to beat it without spending another 15 bucks.
    I really like this game but after spending five dollars already I don't want to be forced to spend so much more money. I would have no problem dropping more cash more naturally after the corse of a few days or a couple of weeks but that spike was ridicoulse.
    I've spent about three hours give or take in this game already and would love to continue but I feel it has to be balanced a bit more. Especially after breaking through and crushing the AI before this match. Please do something about this, I want to play this game more.

    Equip menu doesn't work

    Equip menu does not work, can't equip more than one claw, as in if you have two claws you can't have two cards with claw, and any weapon higher than a claw can't be equipped at all, I tried in vain, can't get out of equip menu once opened....

    This is a shame as the game feels half backed with this glaring fault. I would have spent money on the card game as it is enjoyable then I ask myself why pay anything when I know a fundamental aspect of the game doesn't work. With game as it is you can only get to about level 24, unless you spend money then I ask why spend money when the fault is with the game. Spen money to have fun not money to veer come a problem that ruins the game. Because even if I but more cards the equip menu doe not work so can't even enjoy improving your cards with weapons :mad:

    At a glance, Option A catches my eye more than Option B does, although it'd almost make me think I was about to play a game of "Tap Tap Castle Crashers" or something. :) Option B doesn't really give me any sort of idea of what type of game / app / utility it represents.

    Maybe Option A with numbers on the sides to remind me, "Oh yeah, it's that game that plays like Triple Triad." Or use the CHICKEN with numbers on the sides. :)

    I've never actually tried the game before - downloading it for the first time now.
    Because of that chicken. :D

    ====================

    Edit: Looks promising at first glance. I could understand how people might have become frustrated early on if they were seeing an ad every minute, but it's nice in its "ad-free" form.

    I'd have liked to be able to see the cards in all three "starter decks" before making a selection. Right now you pick one and it's a permanent choice. (I'm sure there's not much of a "power difference" since they're all low-level cards.)
