On the surface, I actually really like this game. But it has some awful flaws that completely ruin the experience. I recently got to a point where it gave me the quest "Defeat a Reaper before it touches you." A challenging task on its own, but doable. But not long after getting this quest, the game just STOPPED SPAWNING REAPERS ENTIRELY, making it impossible to complete period. I tried force closing and clearing data, but that just wiped ALL my progress. Uninstalled after that. 😕

The game is riddled with strange design choices and unfair mechanics. My main issue is that half of the available tiles are effectively junk during a run. It's impossible to limit the number of junk tiles, and the functional tiles are very limited in their uses. Often times, you'll lose a run just because the game gave you a bad hand at that moment, but because of the pace of the game, it's impossible to effectively correct in time. I would write more but there's a 500 letter limit.

I * hee-haw* love this game. I've been playing for a week and I'm on my second playthrough. I don't know if this is by bug or design. But on the last level, you don't receive good from monsters or chests anymore. I'm on my second playthrough, so I didn't have to repeat as many levels And now my gold is almost zero, and I can't beat the reaper as quickly. Another quirk of this problem, I can't get enough gold to fully upgrade my tiles and get the (secrets).

It's unique and cute, but gets tedious quickly because upgrades are in small increments. The biggest thing preventing this game from being great (that I didn't encounter) is the ability to "bank" matches - if you match before the target of the match is encountered, then you've basically wasted a match. This differentiates this game from others, but it feels limiting.

I love the first, and this topped it. More features, quests and other additional variables to throw into the mix. Great development/developer ethics. No IAP, no ads. Pay a few bucks for 10+ hours (minimum) of fun. Edit: I'm now 39 hours in and still haven't finished! So much content. Aside of recommending the game to others, is there an alternate way for me to donate a few more dollars to the dev in hopes of supporting a future game in the series or promotion of further content updates?
