That doesn't sound good... https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/336790/discussions/0/1290690669221022747/
I wanted to try it, but well... I'll pass.

Played at least once : done.

Awkward/unusual controls where your cursor keys move your character with a 45° shift...

You can't change perspective/zoom. And boards are constantly uncentered whereas they could fit entirely into game screen.

I happily won it from one of their latest contest !

+ Art is nice.
+ Puzzle are descent.
+ Voices are ok.

- Very short
- Extremaly bad localization, just wtf... non-sense automated translation + lots of obviously human typos !?
- Poor scenario

Probably not their best title here !

Bad controls.

Game window loose mouse focus...

Plus, I can't target missiles that are coming from top...

TL;DR : Good potential, poor production. Fast completion, but not fun.

++ Good puzzle concept
+ Good potential
+ You can generate random levels
+ or you can create your own levels, save and load them.
+ Easily completed
+ Simple and intuitive user interface

- Not polished, bug at end of first set of puzzles where you have to go back to menu to keep playing. This could have been easily detected with at least one single test run !
- random puzzle generator is purely random placements of elements with arbitrary requirements for 3-star performance.
--- Poorly crafted puzzles. Actually, I think dev just used his random generator... (or a slightly modded one, as in first puzzles, you don't see elements that have not been introduced yet) : general difficulty is very random, and successive puzzles can be either solved with much lower count than required for 3-star solving (4 instead of 15 for example) or in much higher number than for 2-star solving like 30+ moves instead of 17.
-- Some of last puzzles could be solved in a few seconds
- As a consequence : game completion is very short. Good thing after all, since purely randomized board setups aren't interesting to solve.

Good and simple production.

But if you are looking for something original or a new puzzle, just pass...

It is just one of thousands clones of "2048" mobile game with gem pictures instead of numbers...

It has recently been released on Steam, but this game has existed for years already.

Recommended : if you have lots of time or a lot of money... or both !
Graphics, ergonomy, gameplay, story are nice.
There are some nice puzzles during main story quests.
There is a social aspect and daily challenges with leaderboards, and I made a few new friends sharing common interests.

Not recommended : if you don't like grinding same (randomized) Hidden Object Scenes for - thousands - of times that will randomly reward you with quest/collection/weapon items that are required to progress.
The game is quite addicting and force players to its own pace by using various timers everywhere in game. This is not respectful to users !
At the beginning you will be annoyed with one of them which will be less troublesome at higher level : energy bar which allow you to play... a few minutes every 30 min... later you will be able to have enough energy to play up to 30 min... but it will be more and more costly.
Game is not finished, there is a placeholder for "future" updates... there is no proper ending and for some players quests are just bugged and can't complete or get new ones.

I recommend it as I enjoyed it while playing it. It was possible to get enough resources during Christmas event to keep playing.
Once it is over, in a few days, I would advise you to find any other game instead and to avoid this one as you won't be able to play it very long anyway.

Do you recommend this game ?
As I won't be able to change this later without resetting my review which may not change as game may not change... I would say no for long term insight.

Not very intuitive or handy...

There is a bouncing ball inside a transparent cube (and others, from store screenshots) which you (very slowly) rotate so the ball will eventually touch all targets in center of cube...

I couldn't bother finishing tutorial scene. Especially if whole game is about that !

You will destroy your car in the first seconds of game : http://i.imgur.com/cpj1YbA.png
Until you realize that by default on any level you go backward... (well, at least 2 first ones...)

Controls suck or are just inexistant, I had to use my mouse to try this car game and to control wheel.

Game is absolutely not polished. I found an obvious UI bug. And once you completed a level you have options to restart same level or go back to menu. What about next level ?

It just looks like dev just don't really care about releasing something playable. What kind of project is that ? This is just a scam.

So sad of having bought their bundle during previous sale...

EDIT: nothing new, edited for nomination ^^
I really enjoy this game.

You should finish solo mode or do most of it before getting into PvP.
You will get used to user interface and shortcuts.

At beginning in PvP, at low level you will all have about same base cards, this is time to learn archetypes decks and available strategies that are developing.
You will then be able to drop or craft specific cards to progress further, as you get rewards in early levels.

Since the game is quite new, there aren't many guides out right there, so it can be hard for new players to build efficient builds, with mana curve, deck cycling, attk/def options in mind.

Get base game+premium DLC for $0,5-1$ if you can get it from one of humble bundle subscribers. It will be worth it if you plan to spend some time in game for gem/gold bonus. The one year double gold bonus is kinda useless, since it only double gold from your battles.
I wouldn't spend full price though, since it is still in Early Access !

It is more or less a pay-to-progress-faster. Like any other collecting cards games or arena games of that kind. (Exception to Dota 2 and TFT 2, that is a hat marketplace ^^).
It translates to a pay to win when it translates to having access to more options when building decks for PvP.

If you buy this game today, you get Premium DLC with it.
But if you got this game for free during beta and logged in for beta bonus, well, I completely understand most of people feel cheated for the beta reward, shadowed by this (freemium) premium DLC... just at release date !
