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.

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.

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.

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.

Такое себе

Ничего нового и интересного. Самое что задело, в бесконечном режиме, кончились карты, на что было предложено купить игру, что бы продолжить

Response from developer

Nice, but buggy

Ich mag das Spiel, aber es hat Bugs. Manchmal speichert er nicht die Sonder-Karten aus der Schatzkiste. Außerdem sagt das Spiel, ich hätte keine Karten mehr, obwohl ich es gekauft habe. Es braucht auch noch mehr Level, es kommt leider nichts mehr nach dem großen Schloss. Aber die Idee ist gut.

Response from developer

Cute, but lacks variety

The aesthetic is nice, and figuring out how to place each tile optimally without blocking yourself in made for an interesting challenge. But it starts to feel tedious to climb the higher tiers, and there doesn't seem to be any objective beyond beating your previous high score. Right now it's basically 2048, but each tier increases by a factor of 3 instead of 2, and the RNG element is worse. Could use a small storyline, daily challenges, cosmetics...something to increase the replay value. I get the sense that it's meant to be a simple, lightweight game, but right now it's so barebones that I honestly don't see a reason to even buy it.

Also, the quest icons really need to have the tier number on them. Some of the buildings look similar or don't resemble the icon art enough to be recognizable.

Very unique game

I am really enjoying the game. I find it relaxing after I get off work and it almost puts me to sleep as I’m playing it late at night as I wind down my day🩷 ) my only suggestion would be if you can possibly at some point in expand the game by adding cute little animals on the land. I think it would engage more players and it would give the game even more things to merge, which would then add more life to this cozy, simple yet engaging game. Thanks

단순한 시간녹이기 게임.. 뭔가 하면서도 내가 왜 하고있는지 의문이다.

Response from developer

피드백 감사합니다. 이런 의견은 정말 큰 도움이 됩니다. 게임의 반복적인 구조가 모든 분들에게 맞지는 않을 수 있다는 점을 이해하고 있습니다. 시간을 내어 의견을 남겨주셔서 감사드리며, 이런 피드백은 앞으로의 업데이트와 새로운 콘텐츠 방향을 고민하는 데 많은 도움이 됩니다.

Cute. And Basic.

It’s not too much going for it, only building up from woodland to farmland and what would be expected for a campground, but it does help that it allows for strategy. And strategy in this case is cute, but sadly basic, with cards and powerups that must be acquired by merging multiple placements of the same kind. It will undoubtedly be better, but keep that in mind since it’s quite possible to run into burdensome… positioning… and you get more of the same levels 1 and 2 structures in cards constantly, even if you manage to get a level 5+ structure. Otherwise, good work on this game, and good luck.

Not worth the money

Gets boring quickly as its the same combining of tiles and no other game variations.

Odd derivative

This game seems to be a knock off of the same publisher’s Teeny Tiny Town, and inferior to the earlier game in pretty much every way I can see. If there’s something improved here, I can’t tell what it is after half an hour of playing.

Fun Puzzle Game

Love the atmosphere, and a really fun little puzzle game! Good mix of challenging and fun

Abwarten

Spieltechnisch fehlt mir einiges. Aber das kommt sicher noch. Was aber wirklich sehr stört: der Akku wird heiß und schnell leer, iPhone 15 plus.
