I really appreciate this game because it seems like the creators had a lot of fun with it, but also because of the lack of ads and in app purchases. Definitely worth the price-- even if you end up not liking the game or playing for a long, it seems like youre supporting a good cause.
So, this game has a great concept, but its not very user-friendly. There are plenty of ways to make something hard without making it feel glitchy. You tap color blocks, and tap to rotate… You swipe to move the block, and swipe to spell words. On a small iPhone screen, (I have a 6, but still) once the game gets going it keeps swiping words when I want to move the block and clicking color blocks when I want to rotate. Theres just not enough space to the side and top to move and rotate the block, and the motion to drop the block entirely is way too sensitive. Maybe a bar at the top would help, or make the space at the bottom more useful? When I try to use it this weird useless magnifying square comes up and gets in the way.
Also, Ive read in a bunch of reviews that people had trouble changing their name for the high score. I figured this out, but its not intuitive: you actually have to click backspace until "broseph" goes away… You cant select, and it doesnt look editable. A few tweaks could make this a perfect game!
Update: agh!!! The game crashes when a notification pops up, as well as at other ransom times. I just lost my high score :( And why is rage quit where youd press to exit the window? And why doesnt it confirm whether or not youd actually like to quit? Fix please! Im semi addicted now, I hate it when a game has so much potential but doesnt work because of a few stupid, easily fixed things.
