App Store Editors’ Notes

Even more fun as co-op....

This game is difficult and fast paced. My wife watched me struggling with the game and asked to try it. She had a hard time too but we ended up playing it together and had a blast! It’s hard to see every potential match and it’s easy to get in ‘deer in the headlights’ moments but playing it together we accomplished greatness. I use an iPad Pro 12” so we lay in bed on our tummies like kids and play this. I’m not sure the developer has heard of it being played like that. The App Store should feature it as a ‘2 play on one device’ game but your moves can mess up the other’s plans so usually one of us is the primary player and when one sees a great match set-up, it’s time to take over. Sometimes we both freeze up and spin a row blindly hoping to set up others matches. I hope we aren’t the only ones that have fun playing this as co-op. There is a magic to the boat and music that really sparks the kind of imagination that many old school games did. I hope to learn of a sequel to this one!

Great! But there is a glitch.

I love this game so much! But there is a glitch that allows you to move two or more tiles at once without the match processing. What I mean by that is there can be a possible pair of three. But above or below that row, you can quickly move a tile of the same kind to make it a pair of four or higher. I can admit that I have used this glitch before, but it was for the “get two five in a row matches” it was extremely hard for me to beat. Thank you for taking your time to read this review, if you did.

Decent

Good sequel but I have a few problems Lack of information: I can’t check the stats on my weapons, items, or modifiers easily, only able to be checked AFTER UPGRADING. And sometimes I may forget what modifiers a dungeon has and yet I’ll have no way of checking it besides failing it or moving to the next section. The tips screen also has an unintuitive design, having the cycle through all the tips to find something else. RNG feels manipulated against the player: 3 hours into playing and every time I come across an item chest all the required tiles suddenly become rare drops when matching other tiles. The further I progress the more it feels like the game tries to manipulate the drops so I would get less matches than before.

Fun quick 5 mins turn game

First let me just say that I really do enjoy the game. It is quick paced and fun to upgrade your boat through challenges and your equipment through loot you find in the runs. Good fun. But I really dislike not being able to see the stats of my equipment! I don’t remember which I should upgrade next. So you end up never feeling like you upgraded anything. Chests should NEVER push you off the screen. It should be a break for the player to rest a second and then move on. Instead all the keys will magically become rare drops and you need TWO matches to clear a chest. Aaarrrrrrgggggghhhhh. I die more by chest than anything else. Very frustrating.

A great sequel and great fun too

The game builds on the charm of the previous game. The graphics are the same as the first game, yet, it is still a new experience. It takes a little patience but it is rewarded by a sense of accomplishment when one completes the game. Yes, it is a time waster. It is also a lot of fun. I have now completed the game twice. That second time the difficulty level is increased. This made it more challenging. I do not know how many difficulty levels there are. I enjoyed it even more the second time. Good replay value!

Fun matching/dungeon crawling game

I really enjoy this game as well as its predecessor, 10,000,000. Challenging enough to keep it interesting but fun enough to play to completion. I like the simplicity of the gaming mechanism and that it correlates to a more interesting "story". I also play Puzzles and Dragons a lot and both games are handy to play a level or two while killing time. I've played this one trough a couple times since it came out and I still like. Bonus points for the retro graphics and little bits of humor throughout.

Could Be Better

Several frustrating aspects of gameplay that could be improved. For one, wasting matches when not in front of an enemy or chest is very aggravating. Second, you never really get to feel OP or powerful. I was hoping I'd get to run through the second time with all my upgrades, against the beginning low-level challenge, but no. Couldn't even complete one run the 2nd time, too hard. Finally, I wish I could undo some up the upgrades (toggle off) like the one that allows matches at the start of th run (they get wasted). I don't like the "You Win" participation trophy, we're not all Millenials. Had I known all of this, I wouldn't have bought the game.

Great game!

I really like this game! It was a bit too fast for me at the beginning, but now that I've had some time to get used to the controls and upgrade my stuff I'm finding it to be quite manageable. It's fun and addicting, but you can play it in short bursts too if you want. I really like how no matter how short a run is, it always says "You Win!" It's just a little thing that makes me feel good about the progress I've made, even if I didn't fulfill a challenge during that run.
