Wish list .... Ability revert to previous class. Remove poison from vending machine. Curb lowbie drops at higher levels. Increase shield drop rates. Chance to recover weapon when recovering body. Option to fold and boost defense for a round.
Played for a while. Liked it at first but then I found there was definitely a couple of features missing. I just found myself dying, warping to last floor, luckily descend to the next, die, repeat. -the class system is weird. -more starting classes -possibility to replace cards in hand -power-up, boosts or whatever 148apps review is quite accurate IMHO. Good ideas, nice retro feel. But feels incomplete, sometimes unfair and lack a sense of progression. https://www.148apps.com/reviews/roguejack-review/ Edit : still bought it to show support though
I think that review was overly harsh if you ask me. It’s Blackjack so if course it’s a game of chance. It says there’s no way to customize your deck. Well, duh, it’s Blackjack not a collectible card game. Do agree it could use better progression and find items repeating themselves too often. But overall, it’s exactly what I would expect from a Blackjack dungeon crawler and well done at that.
I mostly appreciate Campbell Bird's reviews because they're subjectively critical and he doesn't sugarcoat things, but there's a difference between being our good ol' Carter "3.5" Dotson (every day I miss you even though we communicate every day ), and turning away gamers from every single game that isn't perfect. Critical is one thing, overly critical is something completely different.
True but Void Tyrant is a good example of Black Jack mixed with other genre. Maybe it’s just me wanting more than what it is. After a couple of minutes I’m just getting bored and don’t see why I should open the app. 3/5 seems like a fair review. 3.5/5 at best. It’s all a matter of taste I suppose, meh.
Also, we're still using the Android beta program to test releases a few days before they come out on the Google Play Store and iOS... if you are a bleeding edge kinda person, here's the link to opt in to those... https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.ponywolf.roguejack
I like all these ideas... Just pushed 1.0.6. Some nifty improvements and bug fixes... Updates: ~~~~~~ Blackjack insta-kill Full heath potions Cards on new layer above map Move decor to bottom layer Clean up wall gfx at later levels Fixes: ~~~~ Fix exit floor Make sure the max() XP is left on the deepest level Check all transition.cancel() calls Staff of blindness redoing its negative visibility effect Hero looses poison color on hit "Shield is broken" is broken on +2 shields Any health dropped from vending machines goes off-screen
Bumping this thread, which I assume is cool for big-ish updates. I know a bunch of folks in this thread asked for swipe controls, and now they are in there. There's probably a little tweaking between tablet swipes and phone swipes, so if you play that way, let me know how it feels. There's some big changes in game-play too... Weapons drop if you don't equip them, making the level a sort of inventory system. New monsters, a whole new Spaceman class, since early versions. Anyway, here we go! Here Be Dragons Update! We listened and added some of our most requested features in this update. Updates: ~~~~~~~ New items and monsters (Dragons? I'll never tell...) Option for swipe control Bigger rooms, earlier on Cutting edge lighting particles Skip logo on touch Skip intro animation after 2 views Bigger, better gold piles Better disarming sequence Open extra chests via ad watch on free version Fixes: ~~~~ Card visibility fix Clean up monster outlines on cards Stats fix Possible fix for floating cards on restart
The swipe controls on the large iPad Pro are spread too far apart. You need to keep moving your hand up/down/left/right, rather than just your finger for the swipe to register.
