Suddenly interfering with Bluetooth!
iPhone app now interferes with anything playing through Bluetooth. Maybe a bug introduced with the last update? My iPhone 17 pro is up to date. Deleted app and reinstalled but the problem remains. I’ll change the review when app is usable again.
Response from developer
Hi, sorry you ran into an audio issue with the latest version! Thanks for letting us know. We just pushed a new version v1.3.5 that includes some changes to the audio system. Could you let me know if this solves your issue? If not, we'll continue to look for the root cause here.
Not so good
But the game is too random. You need just the right tiles at the just right time to make everything work. You might get one when you need it. But you probably won’t.
And if you do get a bad tile - one with a weird, unplaceable shape - you are penalized even further when you pass on it. Why?
When I do win, I feel more lucky than clever.
This game is more frustrating than fun.

Oh, and one more thing. In some scenarios you cannot pass a church tile.
So if you get a church tile and cannot place it, too bad. Your game is over. Why add that aggravation?

(Note that the Developer’s response is for an earlier review that I have since updated.)

Hi Zachary, thanks for the updated feedback, hopefully the UX issues have been addressed by v1.3.5. I also understand that the game can be pretty tricky and unforgiving. Please keep in mind however that this is an adaptation of an existing board game - it is not possible for us to modify any actual game mechanics, and we implemented everything as-is in the board game! ORIGINAL RESPONSE: Hi Zachary, thanks so much for your review! I'm sorry you ran into some UX issues in the app. At the moment we only support the portrait orientation to simplify the implementation, but we'll keep an eye out for more feedback like this. As for entering your name for a randomized game - this appears to be a bug that allows you to change your name in Random mode when you have an online account. The intended way to change your name when you are logged in is to do Main Menu -> Profile (top left) -> Manage Account. Hope that helps, thank you!

Buggy game with no dev responsiveness
Response from developer
Hi Shawn, thanks for your review, and I apologize for the long delay in response. We recently released v1.3.x which include several improvements related to campaign stability and protections for data corruption. We also addressed some other issues, including bugs where some campaign rules were not being respected. Thank you for playing and hopefully this update solves the issues you were encountering.
Very annoying
Also, the game is just too random. You need just the right piece to make everything work. You might get it when you need it. But you probably won’t.

On edit: The pass rule is either broken or makes no sense. It costs one star to pass on a piece. Well, okay.
I earn stars during the game. But very often when I want to pass on a piece, I can’t do it. That option is grayed out, as if I had no stars.

Also, please allow us to pick the scoring rules we want to use when playing a Randomized Game.
Sometimes I just want a nice, simple game, one without so many scoring rules to keep track of.

Plus I hit a dead end when trying to enter my name for a randomized game. I can enter my name, and pick a computer opponent. But there is no continue button.
I suppose there is some trick here that I’m missing. But it shouldn’t be that confusing.

Thank you for this awesome review! So glad you're enjoying the Daily Challenge, it's one of our favorite features as well :)
Schön gemacht mit Luft nach oben
Aber…die KI-Gegner sind nach paar mal spielen viel zu leicht, es sollte mehrere Schwierigkeitsgrade geben.
Response from developer
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We have added a second AI difficulty and will aim to add another in a future update. We have made some minor changes since your review to AI difficulty, so hopefully the difficulty levels has been improved for you. We're always taking feedback in this area so feel free to let us know your thoughts here or at support@spiralburst.com!

Great Game but
Response from developer
Thank you for the feedback! I am glad you appreciate the app's UI and portability! I have also noted your request for a pass-and-play feature. We decided against this during development, but we're monitoring feedback on this now that the game is released.
Excellent
Response from developer
Thank you so much for your awesome review! Also as a side note - we are working on a French localization and will release that when ready. UPDATE: French localization is now available!
