I'm working to fix both of those actually, stay tuned in the coming days for the next updates! The plan is to switch the multiplayer to battling the bot version of a player - that should allow everyone to experience some of the creative decks others have come up with, as well as have things a bit more challenging than the random solo mode. Totally understand the gripe about battle round animations - will speed those up as well. ### 5/5 — Unbelievable *2026-04-15* Pokémon mixed with little alchemy mixed with YuGiOH. Super fun honestly **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Brandon is so cute!!! *2026-04-10* Hahaha Brandon is so cute and handsome and buff **Developer response:** Thank you, that is... very generous of you... ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2026-04-05* This game is fun, give it a try **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Addicted already *2026-03-24* It is quite addicting… **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Best game ever!! *2026-03-23* wtf play it for real **Developer response:** Glad you like Dino Duel! ### 5/5 — I’ve discovered secrets no man ever has seen *2026-03-23* Have you ever wanted to discover the secrets to the universe?

This should help with people camping with 1 element at the top ladder. SOCIAL LINKS: There are now in-app links to social media accounts (Most importantly Discord) so that it'll be easier for players to give feedback! Users will now be prompted once at level 7 to ask for review (Hopefully this helps Dino Duel get some more traction on the App Store) SPECIAL OFFERS: Added several element-themed offer packs! These will rotate between the 4 possible options daily. Minor Fixes: - Gave small 1.5 second window for people to back out of ranked matches if they accidentally hit the button - Fixed bug where adding Steam to inventory rather than deck broke the tutorial ### 1.2.8 — 2026-04-30 A lot of players seemed to be getting confused by the step between adding steam to the deck and the second tutorial battle. This makes it much clearer. Additionally sped up the multi-element chest animation ### 1.2.7 — 2026-04-24 MAJOR UPDATES: - MULTIPLAYER: - Realtime matches don't make sense at this stage, so instead you are now matched up against the "offline" botted versions of players with their decks - UNDO: - You can now undo new discoveries! - My earlier worry was that people could undo new discoveries to farm a bunch, but given that undoing costs gems, that should be enough to deter that - SOLO BATTLE ANIMATIONS: - There have been several complaints about animations and solo battle taking too long and feeling like the player has to wait. The biggest offender seems to be the "Card play" animation - so I completely removed it! That only existed in the first place to show the player how to play a card, but given that the tutorial already manages that there's no need. ### 1.2.6 — 2026-04-13 Decks would still sometimes contain elements that players no longer had - this prevents this in the app ### 1.2.5 — 2026-04-09 Players reported the step adding their first combination to the deck confusing, hopefully this makes things a bit clearer! ## Related topics [element by driven](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/element-by-driven) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
