    This looks like a Splatoon game... Just mobile! I love that game so I know that I will like this game too. Also, will this come to Android?

    Thx for the explanation. It should have been a network problem seems working fine now. Love your game and nice seeing the dev (or someone representing them) active here :p

    Keep up the excellent work

    Pretty fun

    I've played this up to about level 10 now and its pretty fun! I kinda wish there was a way to get cards without buying them, but maybe I haven't unlocked that upgrade yet.

    I'm also hoping for a 'live' multiplayer mode. This doesn't have to be real time, but maybe a turn based node capture style game, where victory is dependant on the formation you use (and can change each turn).

    For example, wedge beats circle, circle beats line, line beats wedge, etc. So each turn you select the next node you want to capture and determine the formation you'll use. Opponent does the same, you both submit your turns and they resolve simultaneously.

    Just a thought. Either way, its hella fun :D

    Seeing as my iPhone is my primary device (and in a few days, my ONLY device*), not so good news, no ;) But I'm happy as heck for iPad owners and the iOS platform in general!

    (Though I feel I should also point out that Dofus would be eminently playable on iPhones as well. Instead of going through 10+ posts of me trying to convince you that a game like that can indeed be enjoyed on a smaller screen, I'll instead point you to the LONG list of games, desktop as well as iPad, once said to be unfeasible for the iPhone, but later ported with great finesse and success. XCOM, Banner Saga, Baldur's Gate, Monster Hunter Unite, KOTOR, Street Fighter, competitive online FPS titles such as Modern Combat, MOBAs, Bioshock, Bastion, Transistor, World of Tanks, and a host of other RTS, 4X and TBS titles.

    Each of above-mentioned titles place similar or greater demands on screen real estate as Dofus. And most of the direct comparisons to Dofus' battle sequences (TBS titles such as XCOM, Banner Saga, Ravenmark, Warhammer Quest, Space Wolf, Transistor, Skulls of the Shogun, etc) feature more intricate mechanics, more cluttered UIs, more units to control, terrain considerations and more advanced positioning, and/or more complicated camera angles and line of fire considerations.

    Plus, we already know from Order & Chaos that it is possible to make a persistent massive online RPG for the iPhone, one that runs well even over 3G. Dofus, with it's isometric view and overhead perspective, controls much easier than any third-person, rotating WoW-style MMO camera. With tap to walk and flexible two-finger zoom, Dofus would be a dream for any smartphone or tablet.

    And, more than anything else, the turn-based nature of Dofus' battles - a rarity among MMOs - means that a phone call or broken reception will not be the end of our little dudes. WIth a smart and kinda forgiving dropout timer, losing connection will not harm our character AT ALL. Very few MMOs can make that claim.

    In fact, I am hard pressed to think of even a handful of MMOs in existence more suited for iPhone ports.)

    * As a freelance journalist, learning to rely solely on the device you always carry with you is quickly becoming a competitive advantage. I might be one of the first among hardcore users to eschew a desktop platform in favour of an iPhone hooked up to a projector and a wireless keyboard, but I doubt I'll be for long. But much more importantly, I think a great host of Dofus players would absolutely throw themselves at the option to play Dofus anywhere, on the go and on the run and on the toilet, and in all those situations when you haven't even brought you tablet.

    Not to mention that the MMO nische is still fairly unexplored on iOS, and that the game that brought the full desktop experience to all iOS devices might carve out a very dedicated and potentially profitable section of the user base...

    Yep, noticed Raiders. Very pretty! Not really what I was looking for when I fantazised about a portable Wakfu, though ;)

    These suggestions are good ideas! Our Game Designer saw your post and maybe could we think about it in a future update.

    But really, with the actual content and what we're already working on for new content, you won't lack cool stuff to enjoy!

    Later this Summer on iPhone and iPad. We don't have the definitive release date yet.
    We want to be sure to collect feedback and prepare global release as best as possible.

    Noted! Maybe you already tried out but could you please try again after closing all running apps in the background and rebooting your device?
    Do you have iCloud enabled on your device?

    Maybe disable iCloud. Could be the culprit.

    Weird. Did you try to erase and reinstall the app?
    iCloud needs to be enabled so that's okay. Is your Game Center enabled too?
