## What is What's the Flick?

What's the Flick, the cute and hilarious movie title guessing game.  Enjoy the memorable drawings either alone or with a group of friends.  You'll really appreciate the clean game play without all the underhanded gimmicks found in similar "4 Pics" or "What's the" 
games.  Features include:

Epic genre-spanning campaign consisting of TWO HUNDRED hand-drawn puzzles!
Make your own path through dozens of themed categories! There are hours and hours of gameplay to be had.

Massive variety of movie puzzles 
Comedies, Romance, Science Fiction, Animation… there are even a couple of far out categories such as Video Game movies and Worst Movies Of All Time for a fun, extra challenge!

No annoyances 
It's a shame this has to be a "feature." Play our game when you want it, however you want it. No time restrictions, no distractions in your notification menu, no bugging your friends to move forward. If you're good at the game and love a challenge, play it all for free! If you want to buy-in and unlock everything up front, you can do that too. Skipping levels is free, so complete each category in whatever order you like! There is also a hint system for when you're stuck on a particular movie. 

Daily Ticket Bonuses 
By (very) popular demand, we’re modifying the previous point to include one notification each day that gives you a daily boost to your tickets! But don’t worry, you can easily turn this off if for some reason you hate free money.  Tickets allow you to redeem hints, making sure you’ll never be truly stuck for very long.

Easy to learn, easy to use 
Every aspect of the game has been carefully designed with you in mind. Entering and deleting movie titles happens with an "it just works" attitude. Shake your phone to randomize the available letters. Oh, and *WE* have a backspace button. 

iPad support! 
Not only does this game support iPad, it may also be played in landscape for those with big tablets. If holding it upright is giving you strain, turn the game on its side!

### 1/5 — Bad

*2020-08-29, version 1.2.3*

All they want is your money

### 4/5 — Somewhat Fun

*2020-05-23*

The drawings don’t always make sense enough to be good clues. Or maybe it’s me who can’t make sense!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback!

### 4/5 — Fun but Hard

*2019-11-27*

This is fun but some things are too hard for me or movies I’ve never seen or heard of. Some of the pictures are confusing because it doesn’t necessarily help or make sense with the movie title, some are too vague.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! We tried to include a good mix of different levels of difficulty in the game, ranging from easy to difficult.

### 3/5 — Fun

*2019-05-21, version 1.2.0*

It is an averagely fun game

### 5/5 — Good value game

*2019-03-13*

I don’t like many of these types of games as they can get pretty tricky fast so they make you spend your cash, but this really has my brain muscle working in some spots but overall good game.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the positive review!

### 4/5 — Fun

*2018-10-02*

Fun and challenging. Puzzles run from easy to quite hard. Enjoying it, but do wish if I chose to have a hint with a letter given that it would not take away the correct portion of my answer first.

### 2/5 — Clues would be nice

*2018-09-10*

When you get a letter right it should remain, but it doesn't let you work things out. You either know or you don't and it only gives 10 pts for solving, but costs 40 for one letter. Not great.

### 5/5 — Great

*2018-09-02, version 1.2.0*

Great
