dommage

dommage que le jeu ne soit pas non plus disponible sur Steam j’aurais aimé y jouer sur PC sur Téléphone c’est vite ennuyeux cependant si on parle du gameplay le jeu est super bien et c’est assez original franchement j’aime bien.

Response from developer

Pour le moment, nous ne prévoyons pas de sortir ce jeu sur PC, mais plusieurs de nos autres titres sont disponibles sur Steam ! Si vous avez d'autres suggestions ou besoin d'aide, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter à support@shortcircuitstudio.com ou via notre Discord. Merci d'avoir joué !

Not bad but nothing new

The art is charming and the music is mellow, but there’s nothing happening in this merge-3 that you haven’t played before. I guess if you’re looking for a lo-fi experience it could be good. But I’d rather just play Triple Town.

Response from developer

Thanks for giving the game a try and for sharing your thoughts! We're glad you enjoyed the art and music, even if the gameplay wasn't quite what you were looking for. We appreciate the feedback and hope you find a game that's more your style. Thanks for playing!

Fun game .. but there is a glitch

I am really enjoying this game, however 2 issues that I have come across. First is a bug with the merge card reward. At some point in the game, when you win the card, it either does not add to you pile or in some cases reduces the number of merge cards you already have. Secondly why after finally getting a reward do you sometimes give us the most basic card in the deck.. just frustrating.

Yet another merge game

Yep. You merge stuff. Can anyone recommend some fun games instead of games that feel more like being at work... not all app store users are looking for these style games, but it's all we seem to get these days.

Response from developer

We're sorry the genre isn't for you, and we completely understand that these kinds of games aren't everyone's cup of tea. We hope you find something that's a better fit for what you're looking for soon.

The tilt!

I’m sorry, but I just can’t get past the odd way the board is tilted. The “Rotate” buttons just tilt the board another way.

Square up the board, and I’ll give it another try.

But for now the game is a pass for me.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! 😊 We understand that the board perspective won't be to everyone's taste, and we're sorry it prevented you from fully enjoying the game. We appreciate you taking the time to explain what didn't work for you, and we'll keep comments like yours in mind as we consider future improvements and accessibility options. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to reach out to support@shortcircuitstudio.com or join our Discord community.
