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.

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

Response from developer

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!

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.

Fun Game...High Score saving please

Love the game. Please program high score saving without the need for game center. Thank you.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback Glass wedge, since this is one of the most requested additions at the moment I hope to deliver this very soon. Possibly in the next update or the following one. Please stay tuned. Thanks.

Missing scores?

I really like the game but it doesn’t seem to keep my previous scores so I don’t know what I’m going against.

Update: looks like I had a Game Center issue. Works good now.

Response from developer

Hi Mlisagor. Scores are saved to Game Center and can be viewed by clicking "leaderboards" on the main menu. For this Game Center and an internet connection are required. I'm planning to add some more robust functionality for this in the future but your scores are saved at the moment! Hope that helps, thank you.

Fun, polished game.

Great game!

Humble requests: the menu button should function as pause for game, where you can return to the current board. I often hit that to adjust a setting or take a break but you can only return to main menu, not your current game.

There are so many themes! Previewing just the 5 tiles it's hard to tell the difference. Theme select should show you a whole randomized board of the selected theme, or, if invoked from a live game, allow you to return to the current game with the new theme.

Would be nice if some sound effects would change pitch slightly the faster or higher match count you go, especially in frenzy.

Tiny Nitpicks:

The text during tutorial is very slow. Tapping the screen should advance to a state where all text is visible without needing it to be "typed out".

Small bug: the "next up" text appears on the home screen.

Loving the game!

Response from developer

Thank you for this elaborate feedback JT_Smooth. The saving of the game state has been requested by multiple people and is indeed something that I'm working on at the moment. The "next up" text indeed sounds like a bug, I will investigate this immediately. Your other feedback sounds good and will be taken into consideration. Thank you very much and have fun!

Hhhh

Good

Delightful matching game

This is the perfect game to pick up when you’ve only got a few minutes to play. It’s relaxing (except for Frenzy, which is intense in a good way), extremely customizable, and fun. It’s really nice to find a matching game without all the in-app purchases that the others have, too.

Surprisingly Strategic

It’s really chill. Turn based matching really adds depth beyond most I’ve played. Each time I play, I find my strategy is improving along with my score. Rewarding for those who like to ponder their next perfect move, and see all the things go pop.

My go-to puzzler!

This game is fantastic and well worth your time. Tons of customization options and a nice twist on the matching game genre. Familiar yet fresh! If I’m in the mood for color-matching, combo-building, score-chasing goodness this is my first and final stop.

Response from developer

Such a glowing review. Thank you so much!

Pretty. Fun. Relaxing.

Great game. It’s super well made. A really clean visual design with lots of beautiful effects. A great contribution to the match genre. I enjoy the frenzy mode the most.

Response from developer

Thank you for your kind and positive words. I'm glad to see someone is taking well to the Frenzy mode. I personally really enjoy the pressure even though it forces me to make mistakes. The Frenzy leaderboards aren't particularly stacked at the moment so I expect to see you up there soon!

Sublime

Deadly simple idea, elegantly solutioned and pristinely implemented. Hell yeah.

Response from developer

Thank you Ninja_Panda. So glad that you love the game. Hope to see you high on the leaderboards!

おもしろい

プレイするたびに、自分ならもっと点数を稼げるはず…と思ってしまい、ついハマってしまいました。
他の似たゲームは、広告や課金があるのが嫌だなあと思っていたのですが、それがないのもいいですね。シンプルなデザインも美しいと思いますし、落ち着いたBGMも個人的には好きです。
