This game is difficult and fast paced. My wife watched me struggling with the game and asked to try it. She had a hard time too but we ended up playing it together and had a blast! It’s hard to see every potential match and it’s easy to get in ‘deer in the headlights’ moments but playing it together we accomplished greatness. I use an iPad Pro 12” so we lay in bed on our tummies like kids and play this. I’m not sure the developer has heard of it being played like that. The App Store should feature it as a ‘2 play on one device’ game but your moves can mess up the other’s plans so usually one of us is the primary player and when one sees a great match set-up, it’s time to take over. Sometimes we both freeze up and spin a row blindly hoping to set up others matches. I hope we aren’t the only ones that have fun playing this as co-op. There is a magic to the boat and music that really sparks the kind of imagination that many old school games did. I hope to learn of a sequel to this one!

Simple fun. The music in this game is awesome. The song that plays during the actual dungeon run, should it ever be played by a real heavy metal band, it would be an anthem. I have opened this game just to listen to that song before. :-)

Or at least get everything out of the way during the tutorial. Third run and I’m still getting annoying on screen text that I can’t skip. Totally unnecessary

Are there any plans to implement iCloud support for saving game progress in case of formatting device or switching to another so there's no need to play from the beginning?

IOS has scrolling that can detect amount of force, this makes it easier for those with trouble in their joints to scroll across. You don't implement this. additionally, if you tap an item, you use the item--you cannot slide the row/column from there. Again, a frustrating accessibility issue. Allow intent to match the action on the screen, and this would be a great game. As it is, this is the sequel lacking any accessibility improvements.

I've started it over twice now to play at harder levels. Too much fun.

It looks like a match 3. Everyone says it’s a good match game. It is neither.

The game is good but I don’t think it’s worth 3 dollars. You match tiles to attack enemies and increase your boat size. This game should honestly be .99 cents.

I have played this game three or four times (from start to finish). I always wait a few months before I go back at it again. I see that some people think it’s a bit hard, but I like how frustrating it can be. I am good at fast-paced matching games though. It definitely helps you pass the time if you are bored - I have played it on long flights on multiple occasions. It’s simple, but still entertaining.

Sadly this game isn’t what people made it out to be. As others have stated there is little strategy involved and when you just randomly swipe quickly you seem to do better than if you were trying to strategize.
