Great update, needs more

License issue is resolved. I like that they added more content already. It's a fun game so far. I actually like that I was able to play the game and test it out before having to pay for it. I don't think games have enough demos anymore. Seems like a fun matching game. They need to add more to the game for $3.00. Also it doesn't seem all the spell combos work.
Requires IAP to be anything more than a demo

If you're not willing to purchase this game's in-app purchases, this game gets boring fast. Not much new to do and will not let you advance past level 5 without purchase. This game is essentially a demo of a full game. I originally rated this three stars, but my original review was removed and I've since bumped my opinion down to one star. Uninstalling.
Need more levels

Love this. Finished it and Dragon Quest was fun. More levels needed. Hurry up :-)
Extremely fun and addicting.

This is the best magic game on the App Store that I've played. But there's one issue. The money, doesn't add up. For example in one quest I'll get 7000 gold then the next, I'll get 2000 gold, it completely disregards the last 7000 gold that I had and gives me a sad 2000 gold as total amount. Please fix this.
Need more levels and spells

This game is great but it needs more levels and spells and upgrades. Just sayin. But it is amazing even with out more.
A cut above others

It's about time that someone made a matching game that's not just a clone, and this game fits the bill. The ability to match certain combinations of different colors means a big change in strategy, and makes playing this game interesting even if you've tried other match-three games. I only wish the game were a little longer. Maybe the developer could add a few variations, like boards with a few permanent holes in them (rather than temporary freezes by enemies), or a few boards with a square grid so that there would be fewer possible matches per tile for added challenge. That the game left me wanting more indicates how good it is; it was well worth my $1.99. The difficulty ramp up felt right, and there was only a one time purchase needed for the higher levels, not incessant prodding for cash.
Boils down to grinding

Cute art, charming text, but ultimately just an excuse to match tiles. The game establishes itself as an RPG of match 3 games, with the ability to earn monies for new abilities and items. Unfortunately, progress will come to a sharp halt as you may find yourself losing most of your battles. Many enemies can seemingly attack and heal at the same time, and each lose results any items you've used or gained during the battle disappearing afterwards. When I win a battle, it feels like luck was on my side, nothing more. If I want to win a fight, I basically have to go fight a bunch of really weak levels to earn money, buy potions, and basically just cross my fingers that I'm able to come out on top. Spell reversals seem to only work half the time, with poor or no explanation of why. Although you can match multiple tiles, apparently the game bases your combo and attacks off which element you start with, rather than which element you have the most tiles of in your selection. Unless you really just want to match tiles, it's hard to recommend this game.
Some flaws, but genuinely interesting

I think the biggest problem with Glyph Quest is that the mechanic that really makes it interesting and fun is not available until you've reached the level you have to pay to unlock. The initial Match-N gameplay isn't very exciting. What makes it interesting is that, later, you unlock the ability to use two-element spells, which are done by alternating two glyphs. These spells count as part of a chain of whatever glyph you use first. This, plus the reversal mechanic, means you can build chains of +10 or more, occasionally swapping between two elements. The combo spells include healing powers, debuffs, and other abilities that make things much more interesting. Yes, there's a single "in-app purchase". One-time purchase, and it's there so you can play the game a little to find out whether you like it. This is no worse than if the game just cost that much in the first place. It could use some improvements, but this is a solid game, and more interesting than a lot of the Match-N games I've played. This really is a strategy/puzzle game, even though it seems more luck-based at first.
Fun and intriguing

I really liked it. One of my favorite games. Its only flaw is too short.
