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.

Не интересно

Игра - копия triple town(предыдущая от данного разработчика). Только тут немного лучше графика. Если играли в прошлую игру - проходите мимо. Еще и аккумулятор быстрее разряжается ((

Response from developer

Спасибо за отзыв. 😊 Вы правы, игра вдохновлена нашей предыдущей игрой Teeny Tiny Town, но нашей целью было развить эти идеи и создать более глубокий и проработанный игровой процесс с новыми механиками и системами. Жаль, что игра вам не подошла, но мы благодарны, что вы дали ей шанс!

Aesthetic is beautiful

I love these types of games. This game really reminds me of Tripletown. It’s an easy game to play, easy to come back and continue with gameplay. Adding the “quest” to the endless game to expand the board is a novel idea.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! 😊 We're delighted you're enjoying the game and its aesthetic. The comparison to Tripletown is a huge compliment, and we're glad the quest system and board expansion mechanics stood out to you. If you ever have ideas or feedback, feel free to reach us at support@shortcircuitstudio.com or join our Discord community. Thanks for playing!

Not much different from their other game

Game is still a little buggy if you are playing the free version, the turn limit makes it feel like a cash grab if you ever want to be able to compete on the leaderboards, it also causes the game to bug out if you gain 30 extra cards with no cards left. I'd wait for the game to mature or stick to their older games.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. We’re sorry to hear you ran into bugs, especially with gaining extra cards after running out. We'd love to investigate that further. The free version is intended as a way to try the game before deciding whether to purchase, but we understand it won’t be the right fit for everyone. If you can share more details about the issues you encountered, please reach out to support@shortcircuitstudio.com or join our Discord community.
