It's so frustrating when you need some color match that isn't on the board or coming down the pipeline. Maybe if I could see what pieces are going to fall down, I could plan around it and it wouldn't feel so RNGish

It's the Dark Souls of Bejeweled games.

Jokes aside, it is hard for me to gauge the difficulty of the game when I almost always win when I play it.
I don't want to make it too easy.

For example, a playtester recently complained about dying on the Turtle encounter very early in the game, but I can do 25 turtles in a row - I don't even get close to losing a single time.
This is why feedback from the NAMafiA community is so valuable.

Understandable. I like supporting the breadth and think that having options for idiots like me is a good route to go

The in-game spell system adds a lot of ways to manipulate the board. You get them once a floor halfway through.

I think it makes it easier.

You should look into adding accessibility options for blind/deaf players

i got the whirlwind spell but didnt really know when to use it because im bad

Any confusion regarding the spell system?

when can i use it

Thanks for the feedback.

i got it and pressed the button but it didnt do anything. there was an x with crystals and numbers next to it

Thanks, it probably does. Good work and thanks for the mobile version.

Only other piece of feedback that comes to mind is that there should be a little tutorialization for the first of a kind of a mob you come across on the first floor. I didn't really know what the hearts meant for a second. Just thought I was mindlessly score grinding.

The game seemed easier this time despite not using any special abilities. I played once and died to overlord demon called The Blacksmith in the Kobold Caves.

It was easily doable if I had used special abilities but without them I couldn't figure out how to get the colors to line up underneath the anvil.

I could've guessed as much; Great idea. Hope he's doing well and and had an opportunity these past weeks to celebrate Christ in song and prayer.
