Great game! Humble requests: the menu button should function as pause for game, where you can return to the current board. I often hit that to adjust a setting or take a break but you can only return to main menu, not your current game.There are so many themes! Previewing just the 5 tiles it's hard to tell the difference. Theme select should show you a whole randomized board of the selected theme, or, if invoked from a live game, allow you to return to the current game with the new theme. Would be nice if some sound effects would change pitch slightly the faster or higher match count you go, especially in frenzy.Tiny Nitpicks:The text during tutorial is very slow. Tapping the screen should advance to a state where all text is visible without needing it to be "typed out".Small bug: the "next up" text appears on the home screen.Loving the game!

Thank you for this elaborate feedback JT_Smooth. The saving of the game state has been requested by multiple people and is indeed something that I'm working on at the moment. The "next up" text indeed sounds like a bug, I will investigate this immediately.Your other feedback sounds good and will be taken into consideration. Thank you very much and have fun!

Awesome, but how does score work??

I love the game, it’s right up my alley but for the life of me I can’t figure out how scoring works other than the more bombs in a single match the more of the board is removed and score is higher. But when I make a match the game shows a brief message about % + PieceShape(s). I ‘think’ the % refers to percent of board that will be removed/cleared by the match but I have no idea what the pieceshape marks refer to... frustrating just because I have no idea what it means and didn’t see anything about it in the tutorial and there is no info on the dev website. Devs pls explain if you can. Thx.

Hi Jf112368, I will try to explain. 1. Basic scoring is determined by the % of the board cleared. This percentage is rounded, squared and multiplied by 10 and then multiplied with the multiplier. This means that clearing high percentages is exponentially better than low percentages.2. The shapes that are shown next to the clearing % represent the amount of new bombs that you're earning with the current match. Every successful match earns 1 bomb, if you clear over 50% you earn 2 bombs, if you clear over 90% you earn 3 bombs. Using this to your advantage can compound the amount of bombs and thus your score.Thanks and good luck.

Best match game I’ve ever played

So glad I found this game! It’s just the right kind of challenge, you have to think, but it’s not stressful. And I love that it saves progress so you can go back any time when you have a short break. The design is gorgeous, the play is smooth, and I love the different play options, it can be as zen or as challenging as you want it to be. I also appreciate the fair premium price with no ads or IAP. Also it’s good on battery and storage, and it doesn’t collect data. This developer did it all right, we need more developers like this. Great job developers, thank you for an excellent game that’s super engaging to play! I highly recommend this game!

This is the perfect game to pick up when you’ve only got a few minutes to play. It’s relaxing (except for Frenzy, which is intense in a good way), extremely customizable, and fun. It’s really nice to find a matching game without all the in-app purchases that the others have, too.
