Universal You Must Build A Boat (by EightyEight Games)

Is there any way to replay past levels to grind? I am a huge fan of match-3 RPG style games, but I'm utterly terrible at this "slide" method of match-3. I think I'm barely 4 levels in and have repeated it a dozen times and am not making any progress whatsoever. Kind of frustrating.

Do I just keep crap-matching on this level I'm continuously failing at to get money to upgrade weapons?

 

Thanks. I never played 10000000 so this is my first "slide match" style... I just don't seem to "see" them as well as a typical match-3 style or even swap "Spellfall" style. Maybe it'll just take more practice and some luck I think I'm overthinking the matches and then the next thing I know, I'm off the left side of the screen, haha.

 

No way to replay past levels. I am not very fast, so frustrating for me as well, but you have to practise the mechanic or you will not get anywhere. Random matching will not be successful except the most rudimentary levels. If you cant stand the mechanic you will likely not enjoy the game. I am not a major fan, but with some time and practise i have managed to geat the game - twice! Once you start looking for the matches you can be plan better. To me it is much like the sliding puzzle 15. You have to plan in advance where blocks are going to slide. It sharpens your mind! Good luck. I found it worth sticking with, but i almost gave up a few times in the heginning levels. Upgrading the shield helps slow the monsters down, so i tend to upgrade the shield faster than the weapons.

 

I am able to cycle through levels. I finished the game twice. Game crashed as i was entering Pyramid 6.
Trying to collect the secret monsters. I have collected 36 of them, but not sure how or why particularly. There is one you can collect in Gallery level by tapping the paintings that scroll by. One of them collects a monster.

I did not know you could go back to prior levels until just reading that on the board tonight. howver, you have to have finished everything prior to that opening up

Crashing each time on the easier levels that the options are re-roll. So level 6 crashes on pyramid and thicket so far. No new secret monsters in those areas for me yet.

 

I've played this, completed this.
Now I'm sure I saw a clone of 1000000, or this, and I can't find it now. I'm quite keen to play a clone now.

 

Ok, arrows are there. Thank you! Also thanks for the painting monster advice.

But yes, game crashes on higher levels.

 

Finished the game at around 10 hours. It was fun while it lasted but I have no interest in playing through it again. It got repetitive but never too frustrating. The game difficulty is very well balanced all the way through. Love the game and I really wish the ending was more dramatic or meaningful. Congrats to the devs on making a game that drew me in enough to finish it... Not many iOS games can do that for me. My backlog is enormous right now so I'll be moving on. Have fun guys!

 

Anyone recruit the Ninja in "the openers?"

I have got every other monster in the game, but if the shadows in the groups pictures are an indication, i am missing the Ninja.

Edit - found it. Some one posted all the "secret collects" around page 22 or so of the thread.

Completed the game twice - ace level is 1, which is what it was after completing it the first time. May to get the Ace level up you have to have a certain time of completuon? In that case i am screwed. I am not fast, just patient.

 

Nice, quick question is there an easy way to see the playtime stats, or did you loosely keep track?

I wish every game ever made had a playtime counter on it so we know precisely how much time we've wasted

 

It tells you on the map after you complete an area.

 

Second playthrough, and I can't unlock the wraith? I had unlocked it on my first playthrough... I tried different spells at different moments while fighting it but it's not working..

Anyone else having this kind of problem??

 

With two exceptions i agree on every word with you. I didn't think it was repetitive (the nature of pretty much all games) and i have no backlog, yay! Btw, it took me 9:44 hours.

 

I believe you have to kill it with a fireball. I am not sure if damaging it with a fireball gives it to you. but killing it with a fireball definitely gives it to you.

 

Haha. I took it literally too, but got happily surprised when i got it anyway just due to having 2 5 in a row matches during the run.

 

Old mechanic of match 3 used as an input for fighting and interaction. Nice! I loathe candy crush but your game gives the mechanic a better purpose. Well done.

 

First run completed, 6hrs30mins or so. It was fun, didn't use the gambling guy at all, loved the potion guy.

 

Loved 10000000. Trying really hard to get into this but the lack of a stats page is so frustrating.
