aww, no IOS version? Will have to take my work testing device to play it

Couple of suggestions:

• You have an awesome starting screen, remove some buttons and use it as featured bg
• And provide more description, list all features, etc. If not for the sake of user, then at least for the sake of SEO

CongoRatz. Very nice game.

Congratulation

soy_ismael

Thank everybody!
@ar2rsawseen When I have completed more projects I want to pass all to IOs. And thanks for your suggestions.
@fuzzeemic Yes, is hard, but I do it as a hobby.
Now I want to move some projects I have done in Corona engine to Gideros (I'm very happy with Gideros)

@soy_ismael I liked is the story and scenario behind the game. The buttons(runes), the scenario , the colors everything suits with each other. Congoratz!!

What i mean is you can easily do this puzzle game as a straight puzzle game and say: "Finish the puzzle before time runs out". But then it will be just a simple boring puzzle game even with the same content.

Hope that you will update this game and add more properties like;
-More storyline (after beating levels or just as information somewhere in the menu)
-Rpg elements
Ok there is a dark sorcerer and i am fighting with solving the puzzles, but what are the seals, why the have different symbols on them and colors? what they represent. It will be so much cliche but maybe red seal will represent fire rune, green will be earth, yellow will be air, and blue will be water.

Every level should have some small story line. For example;
"Using the power of red and blue seals "Dark sorcerer" is corrupting animals in the west coast of Artaria. (I just made from my mind:D) Break the seals and save the people from animal attacks."

-Every villian character should have some unique name in my opinion. Dark Death is good for a nickname of Sorcerer. But there should be some strong name like Dark Death Esdras ( Dictonary meaning:another name for Azrael)

-So we have an evil character and i am fighting with it. But who am i? Am i an another sorcerer or just an adventurer or am i the chosen one.

Maybe i exaggerated the RPG properties a little bit but what can i do i like RPG elements in the game.

Again my CongoRatz!!!

@talis ThankThank you for your comment. When I started the game had a thousand ideas and many you have talked about. But I develop the game in my free time (and I have a child with four months ...) So I learned to cut.

again thank!

So I learned to cut.

Great skill that many of us do not have

@soy_ismael great game! I love all kinds of picross/nonogram games.

@soy_ismael, congoratz! However, I noticed a few problems on my Xperia PLAY (480x854 resolution)

1) The "tip" scroll that tells you what to do obscures the puzzle on Level 2 making it impossible to complete. OK, noticed how to dismiss the scroll but this could be clearer. I couldn't figure out how to make the scroll go away at first.

2) On one of the survival puzzles, the colour total for a row was 1,0,0 for a 3x3 grid. This can't be right as it must add up to 3 (I think)? Or is it ok to have holes? Ah, I see it's ok to have holes!

Probably best to disregard this post. Not one of my finest contributions!

Scouser

It is OK to have holes.

@john, did you see my book? There is a code sample that creates a nanogram type game. In fact there are a couple of code samples on the LÖVE forums that do so. I might also have a simple tutorial on how to do that for others that might want to have a look at the logic behind the same.

and as Scouser said, it is ok to have 0 values

john26

@OZApps, I haven't read your book yet, but it looks very interesting. I will buy it when I make enough money from selling apps to afford it. Unfortunately, I've had very low sales and so far am a long way from being able to afford even a sandwich!

(My intention is to buy more app dev stuff when I make enough money to justify it. E.g. Mac when I make enough from Android sales allowing me to launch on iOS etc. Full Gideros licence when I can afford that etc.)

OZApps

@John, glad that the book is more achievable than the Mac

All the best and hope that you do well on the store and be able to re-invest that for a Mac.
