Ratings and reviews

This is my favorite mobile game and it has been for years now. My only complaint is the lack of audio controls. You can only change the settings on the main menu, so if you want to change them while playing, you have to end your run. On top of that, you can only turn sfx on or off and same with the music with no in between options. Tweaking these 2 things seems like a pretty simple fix that only improves the user experience. I look forward to continue playing and hopefully see these changes :)

While it is playable with one hand, controls are terrible. It's not a virtual d-pad, it's swipes, and that responsive or intuitive. There's room enough for a d-pad or arrows at the bottom. A lot of times it just skips a turn because of this, which I guess adds to the difficulty, but not in a good way. I don't understand why it has such high ratings, and the last update was in 2016 so I know a d-pad isn't coming. Not even an option. 3.49 is a bit much just for a few more colors and no bonuses...

I loved this game years ago, the mechanics where unnique, the combat was smart yet simple. The statues where a cool mechanic, the enemy designs always kept a specific theme, and the limitations of the graphics, made more room for creativity and imagination, i loved this game, it's one of the best free games on the app store for how well put together it is. <3
