I'm at challenge 64 and got a current highscore of 126, not too bad right? I'll write some details tomorrow! Very polished so far! Loving the smooth animations.
It's tomorrow now so here some more detailed impressions: - The gameplay itself is very good. Good controls and nicely polished animations. Feels great. - One animation is hard to see. When you head the ball and then the sitting trick. It's so hard to see that I usually make the fault of trying to head the ball again. - Gaining coins is way too slow. I can't remember that I earned any coins, so I'm still at 650. I don't earn coins with playing challanges, not with playing in the league and not even with leveling up. Seems not right as I didn't earn coins. Keep in mind that I played 2 hours so far. - Almost the same story with crystals. The only way to gain them is through leveling up. And even then I only get 5 crystals. I think I have to play 12+ hours to come even close to unlocking a new playground/city? Is this intended? - The league is kind of vague. I just joined a random team named fcbarca or something, but I'm the only one playing and earning points. I could just leave, true. But there is also no way to communicate with league members. Which makes it hard to form a team with other members since it's just a static name without any interaction. - There are waaaaay too many advertising popups. It's really annoying. One in 5 minutes is ok. But not every 2 or 3 games. Also I saw no option to remove ads, which is a must for me. It could be that any currency purchase removes ads, but that is not stated anywhere. All in all, the gameplay is really polished (except that some animations between tricks are hard to see), but the other stuff like the currency and the league really needs a lot of attention. I would probably delete it soon if this was a full release.
Thanks for the feedback, this is very much appreciated! head -> sit - got it, we can exclude that transition or make it slower, we'll look into that currency / economy - it used to be too easy to gain them, so maybe we pushed it too far the other way. This is why need that feedback We'll look into that, it's not final. One question though - did you notice the quests? (Do some tricks in endess mode, use a consumable, etc.) Quests provide a form of "soft energy" (something like in Heartsone or Clash Royale). You get 3 and its not that hard to make them. After you make all of them new ones come after some time. So if you play 2 hours straight, you'll probably do just 3 quests. If you'll play less but come back regularly you'll make more quests and earn more currency. - yeah the teams are random/fake, not much people playing right now. - Chat is a good idea. It's not there because teams supposed to be invite only and that changed just recently. The assumption was that you already know the people you play with so it didn't seem that necessary (and it's not that easy to implement right). as for ads - This is something that also needs tweaking. Normally you wouldn't get them that much. Now they're in test mode and they have an infinite supply of them (it's not the case in production environment). We didn't want to disable ads for beta, as this is something that also needs to be tested. The currency purchase indeed removes the ads. There's a notice under the "Gems" section in the Shop. You probably missed it because you need to scroll to see it :/ I guess we'll make it more clear. Thanks again, this is very valuable. We'll do the tweaks and probably upload a new build somewhere next week.
The head > sit is indeed the only combination so far that I keep failing. Ahh the quest. I did see it actually, now that you mention it. But it didn't ring a bell like: Ah I can earn coins here. I just checked it again but it seems like I already completed them. Is there a message when you complete them? I actually got a message at challenge 77 that I completed the tutorial. But I already got that message at the beginning ^^. I also see that I indeed missed the remove ads message. It's indeed in the store like you said. I must have missed that. As for the league, take a look at Naquatic LLC games. The have a great league system. I wouldn't make it invite only. A lot of people would be excluded, like me, because I don't play mobile games with my friends. Although I like playing in a league with a team. Ps, maby update the 1st post with some nice screenshots or gifs so other TA players will be attracted to the game as well.
Thanks, this means that we need to communicate those things better. Lol, the tutorial quest is obviously bugged Ah, thanks for the tip. We'll update the first post (probably tomorrow, as it's Sunday evening here in Warsaw )
New beta version is scheduled for tomorrow. In the mean time please help us pick the right icon: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LV737P5 Those are not final, the colors, details, etc. will be tweaked. Right now we need to know in which direction should we take it. Thanks!

Hey guys! Based of the feedback we received we're doing a second round of icon testing. What do you think? We've prepared a survey, It'd be awesome if you left your vote here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GPPV9Y3 Thanks
