    When I pressed the arrow button in the top right hand corner of the screen while building a monster I can't find a way to back out of the camera move screen, I'm stuck with four arrows in the middle of the screen:confused:

    Only just had a quick play for now but I'm liking what I've seen, love the minecraft style and the battles, I'd like to be able to build higher than 3 blocks though, do you get to build higher later or is it always three high?
    Well I'll play more later but here's a pic of my very first monster.

    This will happen if you hit the slide button while you are in the tutorial. Super frustrating…we included a fix in the update we submitted a few days ago, so we're just waiting for that to go through and crossing our fingers that not too many new players explore that button until they have finished the tutorial. Now that you're out of the tutorial you can press it any time without worrying. It allows you to slide the build around the grid in case you need more space along a particular edge.

    Thank you so much! Yes, you unlock larger grids as you play. Great monster, that's some mighty fine appendage construction :). What is its name? I can look it up and add it as a seed monster if you would like!

    Hi, it's just called "Monkey"
    Can't wait to unlock some bigger designs :D
    Can you possibly post some pics of what's included in the extra packs because they just say purchase hat pack etc but don't say what's in them.

    By adding my monster, what does that mean? And if everyone can see it does that mean if I edit him then people will see the changes, as this was just my first quick monster.

    Originally didn't look like something I'd play, but after seeing the dev's positivity in this thread, I'll gladly give it a go. Here's to the devs that are still human!

    I legit cannot stop playing. The combat mechanic is amazing, definitely going to buy some iap's to help support. Hope there's many updates to come, games legit.

    Edit: please show prices of iap's. I have to click them to see the price and at that point I have to type my password in to see each individual price. That will cause people go accidentally buy. Show the prices by the diamonds & gold so I don't have to click it, and type my password in.

    That's how all IAP work now after iOS7, your asked for your password then it will say do you want to purchase ...... And tell you the price. Don't know why apple have done it this way. But have no fear you can enter your password without being charged.

    About the IAP, are the little pictures what your actually get in the pack?

    Sorry for the typos was at work typeing in a rush lol! But I had no idea ios 7 did that. Why didn't you enter the text like (2.99$) for 30 diamonds. You can't see the price just the packages. In order to see prices I have to click the individual packages and I'm afraid ull accodentely hit yes. The big package is expensive and almost pressed buy >.> as I said because you have to type your password it tells you the price and asks "yes of no". You should just show the prices like most games. So we know ahead of time ^.^

    Totally, here's an image of a monster decked out in hats and tattoos. And I use the term "monster" loosely.

    [​IMG]

    I'm so sorry! If you restart the app you'll be able to play as normal-- it's just that initial session that can potentially get stuck if you press the slide button during the tutorial.

    Thanks max-o, hope you like what you see!

    Yay humanity! My brother and I have been developing for iOS since the iPhone 3G. We've had some huge successes and some huge failures, but we've made the conscious choice to remain a two person operation over these 5 years.

    Thank you!

    That means so much to hear, thanks Zeillusion! I had no idea that change got made in iOS 7, what a pain.

    It's how we've done it for a while, just because it's a pain to display prices manually since they have to be downloaded and localized for each individual country and currency. We do have a lot more items in this game than any previous ones, so it might be worth going back and adding that feature.

    Thanks, guess I'll buy some tattoo's to make monster look "hard" :D might buy that hats too, I have been coming back to this a few times during the day so it looks like it'll be worth making them look cool.
    I hope this does well for you as this seems like a really generous free to play model, if you wanted to just play without paying anything.
    Do people online see the hats and tattoos after you've put them on?

    Also what kind of plans do you have for extra stuff in updates? Just curious.

    They can't really hardcode the prices into the app like that because pricing is different globally.

    I'm a big fan of the hats, haha. Friends who you battle through Game Center will always see the hats and tattoos. People in Quikmatch will always see any parts (hats/tattoos included) that you built your monster with initially, but sometimes not if you added them later. The system is a bit tough to explain.

    We try to keep our games as free to play as we can while still paying the bills, so I'm glad it feels that way to you!

    The first update, which will hopefully be live today or tomorrow, ads Clan Dungeons. You start a clan with up to 10 friends and play through special co-op dungeons asynchronously. Once each player in the clan has completed the dungeon, you earn a reward and are able to move on to the next one. Update after that adds a fourth, bigger grid and a new corner block. Anything beyond that (as with all of our games since we're a tiny operation) depends on the level of popularity. If this gets anywhere near as popular as Guncrafter, you'll see some serious extra content coming your way :)

    I thought it was one of our better games, and it was the #2 Free App in the app store for a while so there must be something to it :).

    Anyone else noticing the App Store games categories showing almost no apps, and nothing under New? What a day to launch as an indie dev…
