Great game but needs login work

I love the concept, and I’m learning a ton already! I really like being able to drill down into sentence fragments and then individual words. It’s really effective.

I’m a little worried about the login/password though- this should really use a password field for the login. That would protect against “shoulder surfing” and it would let password manager app help log in more quickly too.

I’m a little worried the developer might be storing passwords as plaintext too… so definitely use a unique password here!

Good game, but the controls are not great.

I’m in the desert temple area part of the game with the spikes and stuff and no matter how many times I try to make it through, I just can’t. The corner joystick control doesn’t allow for super precise movements and sometimes the character will go diagonally when you want him to to go right or left. Whoever designed the traps for this game’s puzzle rooms really overdid it. I can’t continue learning the language with this game if I can’t progress any further through the story because of an extremely difficult trap room. The game is a great idea and I definitely think it’s a start to something wonderful, but please make the controls better.

Solid retro game

This is a fun style to learn in. I feel like I’m playing a relaxing game like Minecraft, but learning as I play. There is one thing though, when I leveled up to proficiency 12, it said something like I reached proficiency limit, and it didn’t give me the usual choice of 6 additional words. I want to learn more of the language so I’m hoping you can fix this bug and raise the limit so we aren’t held back in how far we can get. It’s a solid game, but this does need to be fixed for the long run. I only maxed out numbers and people, barely in the other categories which I would love to learn. I do have to say. If you end up still having a level limit, maybe allow people to learn all the words when they reach it so they can learn more even before you add more towns. Please fix this

Login is annoying

I’m really enjoying the game. I’ve learned new vocab in a short amount of time. My major complaint is that there is no way to stay logged in, quickly log in, or log in with my Apple account. It seems like a small dumb thing to complain about but it really puts me off opening the game because if I have 10 minutes here and close it when I’m done, and I want to open again when I have down time, I have to type out all of my login info. If there was a way to stay logged in or just have it offline it would be perfect.

Has Bugs on initial play

So being that this app is new it’s understandable bugs are still a thin
- The microphone crashes the App when used
- User accounts sign in gives me error on login attempt
- User accounts not compatible with password manager and displays visible password text
- Having to click a button to open the keyboard in every conversation is annoying
- Custom keyboard is hard to type on as it does not have the predicative hit box typing as the native keyboard

Excited for fixes.
