AppUnwrapper Well-Known Member Oct 26, 2011 4,062 3 0 http://www.appunwrapper.com/escape-games/ #4 AppUnwrapper, Nov 29, 2016 Glad you enjoyed it! Not sure why the game released early, whether it was intentional. I did notice the leaderboards got wiped and I can only see my name. If anyone else is playing, are you seeing anything besides your own name?

Recommend you watch appunwrappers YouTube video for the gameplay. Also, I'm only seeing my name on the leaderboard as well. rezn Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Mar 8, 2014 862 6 18 Male Coder/Keyer in medical ICD 10 Reno, NV #7 rezn, Nov 29, 2016 I've been waiting for this gem for a while. Nice game to wake up to for sure. jsrco Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Oct 15, 2009 2,134 1 38 Coordinator Seattle https://www.Fatthunder.com #8 jsrco, Nov 29, 2016 It's fun for a few minutes.... but a bit shallow. Beat it and now I have no desire to go back and grab coins to chase the high score AppUnwrapper Well-Known Member Oct 26, 2011 4,062 3 0 http://www.appunwrapper.com/escape-games/ #9 AppUnwrapper, Nov 29, 2016 It doesn't feel shallow to me at all. But I agree that I don't think the high-score chasing aspect of it will keep me with it long term. An endless mode might have, with the goal to get farther than anyone else. Repulsa Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2015 1,584 81 48 #10 Repulsa, Nov 29, 2016 This mashes up two of my favorite game types the roguelike and the match 3, awesome idea developers!

Royce Well-Known Member Mar 22, 2011 4,239 179 63 #12 Royce, Nov 29, 2016 I don't believe the developers even know it's out. One of them tweeted less than an hour ago to look out for the game Thursday, and the other retweeted it. I only saw myself on the leaderboard last night. Now there are no scores at all, not even my own. I agree to an extent. I definitely have a desire to replay it, but I really wish there was a bit more, and that it was a little more random, more land types and not always in the same order, maybe different characters with different skill possibilities, and definitely an endless mode of some sort (or at least a longer mode). vectorarchitekt Well-Known Member Dec 29, 2013 2,489 177 63 #13 vectorarchitekt, Nov 29, 2016 Oh man I love this!! AppUnwrapper Well-Known Member Oct 26, 2011 4,062 3 0 http://www.appunwrapper.com/escape-games/ #14 AppUnwrapper, Nov 29, 2016 The dev told me they released it early so they could submit an update for it, that Thursday is still the official release day. And they're aware of the leaderboard bug. LordShad0wz Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 4,286 1 38 #15 LordShad0wz, Nov 29, 2016 Annnnnnnnd purchased. For some reason I love these match 3 rogues. This one does things a bit differently than the rest and it's fully premium so you cannot go wrong here. Thanks Appunwrapper as always for the gameplay video. Billy your personal robot Well-Known Member Nov 11, 2008 3,606 3 0 nonverbalist Berlin #16 your personal robot, Nov 29, 2016 So far, I like it. Nothing too exciting or unique, but good enough for what it is. Perfect for those waiting minutes in the bus or train. Ijipop Well-Known Member Jul 25, 2012 556 259 63 #17 Ijipop, Nov 29, 2016 Finished the game in under 30 minutes. Even with a leaderboard.... I don't feel like doing it again.... 3 world.... 12 stages? I would not call this game a roguelike/lite. Very disapointing. Don't misunderstand me. The game is great. Very fun, works really well. But damn! Half an hour to complete it??? Seems more like a school project than an actual match 3/rogue. Just my ten cents. Add more and I'll gladly sink more time in it. But in the current state... radstronomical Member Nov 7, 2014 10 3 1 Male Game Builder, Secret Crush Brooklyn, NY http://radstronomical.com #18 radstronomical, Nov 30, 2016 Leaderboards shuttering to life Hey all, 1/2 of the dev team here. Really cool to see what you're all thinking. We're definitely considering content updates. Nothing set -- wanna see how release goes and plan accordingly. Just wanted to pop in and say the leaderboard issue is on the game center side and it's starting to populate -- I've started seeing people on both boards. Anyone else seeing stuff populate? Feel free to get in touch via twitter (@radstronomical) if you hit any issues! Hope you like slashing frogs~~~ Diego vectorarchitekt Well-Known Member Dec 29, 2013 2,489 177 63 #19 vectorarchitekt, Nov 30, 2016 Hey Diego, great game! Thanks for popping into this thread. I am thoroughly enjoying it, but I can see where some permanent upgrades or unlock able classes or and endless mode would extend longevity. But it's really great! rezn Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Mar 8, 2014 862 6 18 Male Coder/Keyer in medical ICD 10 Reno, NV #20 rezn, Nov 30, 2016 I'm addicted.
