My name on an app!

My name on an app 😄 I had to download it ! Fun app guys!

Best match game I’ve ever played

So glad I found this game! It’s just the right kind of challenge, you have to think, but it’s not stressful. And I love that it saves progress so you can go back any time when you have a short break.

The design is gorgeous, the play is smooth, and I love the different play options, it can be as zen or as challenging as you want it to be.

I also appreciate the fair premium price with no ads or IAP. Also it’s good on battery and storage, and it doesn’t collect data. This developer did it all right, we need more developers like this.

Great job developers, thank you for an excellent game that’s super engaging to play! I highly recommend this game!

This is the most glowing review I've ever received for my work. Thank you, stranger.

Suprizingly deep high-score puzzler

A lot of fun figuring out the mechanics and what makes it tick — and then using those to get higher and higher scores.

I’d love to see something like a daily challenge! That would be a great way to test my skill compared to other players, and would keep me coming back regularly.

Amazing Puzzler!

Saw this on a Twitch stream and decided to get the app and I’m glad I did! Such a delightful game! Love it! Highly recommended.

Thank you, very happy that you're enjoying it!

Awesome, but how does score work??

I love the game, it’s right up my alley but for the life of me I can’t figure out how scoring works other than the more bombs in a single match the more of the board is removed and score is higher. But when I make a match the game shows a brief message about % + PieceShape(s). I ‘think’ the % refers to percent of board that will be removed/cleared by the match but I have no idea what the pieceshape marks refer to... frustrating just because I have no idea what it means and didn’t see anything about it in the tutorial and there is no info on the dev website. Devs pls explain if you can. Thx.

Hi Jf112368, I will try to explain. 1. Basic scoring is determined by the % of the board cleared. This percentage is rounded, squared and multiplied by 10 and then multiplied with the multiplier. This means that clearing high percentages is exponentially better than low percentages. 2. The shapes that are shown next to the clearing % represent the amount of new bombs that you're earning with the current match. Every successful match earns 1 bomb, if you clear over 50% you earn 2 bombs, if you clear over 90% you earn 3 bombs. Using this to your advantage can compound the amount of bombs and thus your score. Thanks and good luck.

Combining ideas from Tetris & Bejeweled? Yeaaaahhh!

Plaing briefly only yet, with over 25 years of Tetris experience and 10+ of Bejeweled?

This easily beats them both for me!

Well done Jerry! Easily worth the $2.79 Canadian!

Wow, that's high praise! I merely stand on the shoulders of giants. Thanks so much and I hope you'll be playing Kavel 10+ years from now.

Fun and addictive game

Very fun and fast little game

Thank you so much!

Score Chaser

Nice idea and good to play. However, as a score chasing game it really needs a high score table and maybe some game playing stats. The whole thing seems pointless without knowing what your last score was!

Response from developer

Hi Jagrafess, scores are saved to game center which includes highscore tables for each mode. In the latest update the game will also locally save your highscores and display them in the UI during play in case you prefer not to use Game Center. I hope that helps a bit. More stats are planned for a coming update. Thanks for playing!

Review

I love this game but I can’t see my high scores. I click on leaderboard and achievements but the links don’t work. Please fix! Thanks!

Response from developer

Hi Crimmma, the leaderboards and achievements rely on Game Center. This means you need to be online and able to log in to Game Center. I'm working on saving scores locally for people that want to play offline or have trouble with Game Center. Sorry for the inconvenience, I'm working on it but it takes some time. Thank you.

Love it. Figuring out the secret rules is fun

2 needs:
1, have a page that shows the “secret” plays you can make when you discover them, and a list of what is left undiscovered.

2, implement slide-over for iPad: this is exactly a game I want to multitask with!

(QoL #3) for those of us who don’t want to sign into a global score ...thing- perhaps a local best score list?

Hi Aerorae, thank you for playing, I'm so glad you're having fun with it. 1) This is an interesting idea. I'm working on some ways to improve teaching player advanced plays and strategies but it is not easy. This could be part of a solution, thank you. 2) This looks interesting, I wasn't aware of this feature to be honest. I need to investigate the potential side effects or bugs it could create but I'm very willing to make this available. Edit: I tried this and unfortunately it will be very hard to make the game work properly for such a variety of aspect ratios. 3) Yes, this is my most requested feature now. I am working on it but unfortunately it won't be ready for the next update that I have already planned. Thank you for your patience.
