    Hi Roleki, thanks for your feedback. There's 3 camera modes you can set manually. 3rd Camera mode is closest and only board is visible. You can switch using camera icon on left lover side of UI.

    Curious what you come up with this time.
    24h marathon? Wouldn't a week be better? Not everyone has time to play all day, you know ;)

    Just made the 15th gem, and there's *another* after that?
    That's pure sadism, I'll never make that. Took me two days, and I burned through half a million or so in Essence, all I had stored.
    Wish me luck, don't think I have the patience and stamina for that :p

    @Stormbringer:
    Got a question: Do I keep my progress in the regular game when I start a Challenge? Or will I lose it? I sure don't feel like experimenting right now. But I need to stock up on Essence again, should I try to complete this.
    Oh, and would you mind telling if 16th is really the last one? Or is that a thing you'd prefer us to find out ourselves?

    Screenshot upload failed, will try again from my computer tomorrow.

    yes 1 more to go and you officially become Guardian of Balance! :)

    If you start challenge current game will be lost.

    Was worried you'd say that, and here we go :p

    Hhmm, any chance you could change that? Apparently you already save the gamestate when I exit the game. So I guess it might be possible to do "Play normal game - save state and play challenge - resume normal game"?

    Good point! You have to wait for 1.4 Update for that. So when you return from Challenge it will restore your state right before entering.

    Great news, thanks a lot for the update! And an extra thank you for implementing the gamestate save, this is something special for me ;) Will return to playing for sure, just not right away (need to buy a new car first).
    Just checked the scores out of curiosity, looks like I still have a chance to catch up to you folks ;)

    @Abnormalia: Guess I hit the wrong button after submitting my current score, and lost my long-going game :(
    Any chance you can restore it from your server, approx. 22:45h CET 22.1.16?

    Sadly no, saves are already overridden in DB. Scores are submitted in any case online not lost.
    So you got 15th stone on board ? Do you remember what else ?

    Thanks a lot for checking! Too bad about the overwrite :(
    I had one of each, from 15th die/cube stone down to the white 9th stone; plus smaller stuff, naturally (board was almost completely full); total score was 440-450k.
    Top 4th row left to right was: 12, 13, 14, 15
    3rd row left-right: 11, 10, 9, 8
    2nd and bottom row were a mess, cannot remember them exactly. But the top 2 are the one that really hurt losing, the rest is easily replacable.

    I just wanted to see what happens when you merge two 15th stones ;)

    Maybe I hit a rare bug: just tried a few times to reproduce it, but no luck. "Submit score" and immediately hitting the X button on the left to return to the game worked fine each time, board did not reset. And I did that everyday for the last week at least, submitting current score at the end of my day; always worked fine until that fatal hiccup yesterday.

    Score is submitted in BG from time to time even without manually triggering submit.

    Launch your game, good review is on you :)
