Thank you for the updates!

Very responsive and talented developer with skills all around. I have probably spent 4 full months of my life playing Imbroglio and look forward to playing a lot more with a revamp of the basics and Mizzenmast. Who needs a battery-roasting game world when you can explore a perilous 4x4 grid with brilliant gameplay? Update: crying with laughter at using the Shopkeeper. Using Lightkeeper’s Candle (gain runes at start of game) and Bonesnare (when runes are gained, hit the enemy here) killed me BEFORE I COULD MOVE 😂😂😂 I’m imagining Elephant Man bawling out I AM NOT AN ENEMY 😂 It is an awesome, brilliant and darkly amusing new world. I thought Imbroglio would be tough to follow up on and if so, a little hard to reinvest in. Oh my goodness do I love playing again. Must buy. Just buy. Likely the smartest and most original solo designer on the App Store.

Love new mode with one big exception

You can read other reviews for general impressions of the game, but in general this is a near perfect game. I love the new draft mode, except that you can only play the level you create once. It takes too long to be recreating boards over and over to only be able to play it once. Unless I am missing something. Please please change that so we can play each board unlimited until we decide to move onto the next board.

I keep coming back

I’ve never wrote a review till now. This game is the one that deserves it. It’s challenging, has high replayability, and is mostly fair. 90% of my losses in this game are my own fault. Occasionally the wall shifts will trap me in the worst possible position, but plan accordingly and this shouldn’t be an issue. I’ve been playing this for years now. It’s the only game that I’ve never deleted from my phone.

It grows on you

It’s entertaining, and you don’t realize the hours are going by. I think there’s a bug, though, where if you unlock a character and then delete and re-install the game, it won’t unlock them again unless you beat your high score (saved in Game Center). Be wary of this; hopefully dev can fix it one of these days.

Pretty Perfect (when you lose it will be entirely your fault)

One of the truly rate games where skillful play is more important than luck or IAPs (of which there are none except for the expansion pack). A massive variety of weapons, adventurers, and monsters; All balanced to perfection. At first, you won't know why you are dying so fast, but keep playing and the light will come on. And... iPhone X native screen support!

Love it, simple and endlessly deep

One comment on recent patch - you can still use Harry build with now-outlawed range-ish options by copying a friends board that used them back when they were legal. I would prefer to see, and ideally help develop if I were better, a new Harry meta. I like that last sentence.

Brilliant! Huge replayability

I’ve played hundreds of games for 30 years. I am very picky and most games bore me. This game is great. It can be replayed over and over because you can change the “tiles” that the character attacks from.

Great game; Crashes on iOS 11

Imbroglio is a simple, yet engaging game that will keep you coming back. Setting up fun boards to play on is great and the options for how to play are many. Please address the app crashes caused by iOS 11. The app often crashes on startup, but once you get it going (after potentially many tries) it works fine.
