Decent

Cool little game. Great for a fast play.

Intriguing but buggy & limited

I really like the concept of this game, but it needs quite a bit of balancing, tuning, and debugging. There are a number of cards that are strictly bad plays, and others which seem to be intended to synergize with cards that don't exist. Cards sometimes vanish from my deck during a game, or duplicate themselves in my discard pile. Would love to try the game again after it receives some polish!

Hidden Gem!

A product of a bygone era. Anyone who was around when the iPhone first came out is probably familiar with the boom of fun little $0.99 or free games that came out with nearly no ads and the only goal being creating a fun game. This is just like that. A game that asks nothing from you but to enjoy it. Open it up and play around with it whenever you want — no annoying notifications or micro transactions. No daily rewards creating artificial FOMO so you feel obligated to open the app up all the time. This is what games as art should be, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Good game

Interesting game, stunning artwork, great price. Easy game to pick up and play.

Great game, bugs fixed

I’m updating my prior review to now be 5 stars. Bugs are fixed, you can easily zoom in on cards, everything is smoother and very refined now. This is a great strategy game at a great price, with no data collection or IAP. Relaxing and enjoyable, yet challenging. Interesting choices to make. Thank you developer! Highly recommended.

screen goes white, freezes, crashes

I like the idea of this game, and it looks nice, but there’s a problem: I was on a really good run, beating my high score, when the screen turned white and the game froze/crashed. I had to quit the app. When I loaded it back up, it hadn’t saved progress, so that game was lost. I see another reviewer also mentioned this.

Also, you should be able to save mid-game so you can continue later, like if you have to go back to work after a break. I’m afraid to start a game not knowing if I’ll have time to finish it.

The crashing bug ruins an otherwise nice game. I appreciate that it’s a super fair price with no ads, no IAP and no data collection, but still, it should work properly. If it ever gets fixed, I may try again.

The card text is very small on a phone, I wish you could enlarge cards to read them, but it is playable, I can live with it as is. May be better on an iPad for some folks though.

It is a good game. Just beware that you’ll get frustrated when it crashes on a good run.

Fun, but needs some work

I really enjoy the game a lot! I recommend the game at the price point! The main reason for the review is because I don’t see any other way to let the developer know about the bugs.
Bug 1. When playing the special sapling card the should put new cards in the deck it does not add them.
Bug 2. When playing the last card in your hand that is supposed to add cards to the deck, it adds the cards but does not give you one in your hand. The game just sits there without ending the game either.
Bug 3. Sometimes the game blanks part or all the screen and freezes, and most often causes the game to restart.

Would like a way to send bug reports directly! So it does not effect the reviews! Thanks for a great game! Excited for new improvements and add ons!

Simple and fun

I got this not quite knowing what to expect.
It’s a fun game of hoping by for the next cards to make a better world. There’s a set deck with a bunch of cards that add more copies of already in your deck cards. But there’s a sequence that would give you the ultimate results.
If there was some way to add variety to your deck, or some sense of rougelike play to get other things it could be better.
Also a UI to actually open the leaderboard or restart would be a nice tough too.
Enjoyable game overall for a buck though.

Buggy…

I love this game but I often am very frustrated because of a bug. Cards from the standard deck disappear and never make it into my hand. For example, the standard deck contains 3 batteries. In my latest play through, only ONE battery showed up in the ENTIRE GAME. Other times, the LOVE card won’t show up either.

Response from developer

Thank you for reporting this bug it should be fixed now as of version 1.0.3. Glad you are enjoying the game, lots of updates coming soon!

Simple, well priced, fun, ad-free

Great little game! Really sucked me in for a good few hours. Definitely worth the small price considering it’s ad-free. Exactly as polished as it needs to be. Lacks long-term replayability, but has potential for it if the developers ever wanted to expand it further.

Good idea, clean layout

I love these types of games. Only thing with this one is that the music / sound doesn’t stop when pausing, leaving the app, and I would say that the discard button is a little too close to the play button, but not sure how to resolve that because the card size and layout is good.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback glad you are enjoying the game. I have fixed the audio so that it pauses when you leave the app. More usability improvements and expanded gameplay coming soon!

Farting
