Madolan's Comments

Honestly, I'm sort of loving it. This isn't to say there's not some truth in the bad reviews but listen to some of the good: it delivers exactly what it says with match-three gameplay. The games are short at first, but there are plenty of them. The boosters and heroes are effective. It leans easy, making it feel fun without frustration. And the learning curve ramps up. Once you're trying to get bananas naked (yes, really) and get popsicles in the penguin fridges, you're adding strategy to the simplicity. For what it is, it's pretty great. Yes, I dare to say it! It's fun!

I'm impressed by how closely the developer listened to suggestions and comments in the last game and added those items here. Pause button, a use for gold in later levels, storage — all excellent additions. I think I'm seeing some different game mechanics (clovers seem more sensitive to deliberate breeding for certain leaf patterns, for instance) that make it distinct from the last version and give us a welcome learning curve. If I had to complain I'd say that some of the tiers could use higher color contrast (I had to rely on guesswork for the early stages of tier 24) and I definitely miss the higher speeds of the prior version. I suspect I'm in for days of waiting, whereas I enjoyed that it was an idle game I could be fairly active in when I wanted. Overall, really liking this so far. Thanks for the huge update.

Playing this a LOT-- I love tower defense. I'd love to see the name of the stage/city on the score screen so I can remind myself which stage I may have played or replayed. I'm also curious how scores are calculated-- could the score screen show the math on that? I've noticed that the more buildings, the higher the score, but I'm curious if upgraded buildings factor into a higher score, how many points are lost for soldier deaths, etc. Thanks!
