Wow, this game is ridiculously good for a free game. I recommend you pick it up from the appstore if you haven't already.

Anybody else playing it?

This is a great game, however do get the updates and be wary of using the multiplayer as yet. The community/social/multiplayer game sends your contact database in the clear, no encryption. The dev's say they're working on it - all two of them. The game was even pulled off the app store for a brief time.

Update: they patched the problems, all seems well. I do love this game and recommended it to Jeff and the guys, but they still have Jailbroken phones. I thought it was a simple puzzle quest style game, but it is advertised as an MMO? The first freebie version is all about powering up your character. Anyone know any guides or which skills tree you're going to follow?

It's not a MMO yet, they said that will get implemented in later releases and htey're trying to come out with them fairly quickly.

There's not really any guides for for skills trees or anything yet either, so I honestly have no idea what I've been doing. I'll just mine away for a while and then go into the store and buy random things becasue I'm not quite sure what any of them do yet. haha.

actually it does explain them ohhoe. Some of them increase mutipliers and others break blocks around them when it comes up in the row. But indeed, it is confusion. I hope there is some sorta tutorial in the future for their sake cause for the first 2 weeks of having this game i went " wow this is neat but i have no idea what im doing " then didnt play it. Only in the last few days did i figure out all the crystals and talents a little bit, enough so it makes some sense at least.

Fun little game though. I havent tried the MP yet though, ill have to log that next time.

A lot of buzz surrounding this game at the moment, I'm downloading it now. Sounds like something I could enjoy on my phone. I was disappointed with the first game I bought.

Why does everything cost wind? I have like 10 billion earth, but every upgrade requires 100-300 wind it seems.

I can't put my finger on it, but there is something here that isn't quite puzzle enough. Maybe because the mining is WAY too easy.

Also, I accidentally shook my ipod and lost a tower challenge worth 300 wind tokens. That was upsetting.

How can I delete my character and create another one? I don't see any option...

I'm just mining, hoping guides comes out, still fun though. It seems my charchter is a wind/water guy. Hmmm, can i respec even though I don't know what I'm doing. If anyone has time they do have forums, here's the FAQ http://tinyurl.com/5884sl.

I NEED WIND. Fuck the wind!

This is distracting me from doing actual work, not like I do anything anyway.


Here are my mining thingies:

300 wind and 300 wind needed to build! FUCK YOU WIND.

I have a feeling I'm giong to have to respec entirely after I finally figure out what the hell is going on.

The only tool I understand how to use correctly is the alchemy tool

My specs are pretty even across the board, though I'm wind/water heavy. I'm curious about spec'ing shadow but in parties people will just keep screaming heal, heal --- oh, that's a different game.

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed but leveling seems different post-patch. I went from a lvl 3, when I thought I was lvl 9 pre-patch, now I'm lvl 0 craftsman - crazy. Still enjoying the game though - me likes new shiny armor.

Thanks for posting about this game. It's super addictive!! It will be interesting where they go this with concept for future versions.

Oh and anyone else keep getting logged out when they play and kicked back to the home screen?? This happens for me when I play this and Trisim (another great game, completely worth the $5.00)

To fix that you need to power down/ power up and all should be fine. Yeah, sucks about the crashes and two hour backups. 2.0 is not polished at all. I give it to September when the new Touch is coming out and the big push for the holiday gift giving season to get the iPhone numbers Apple wants. I also expect better apps in the store, tons are crap, but there are a few great gems.

Only guessing, but I expect camera and GPS on the new Touch. Too many apps use these features - and I expect a TomTom/Apple partner or multiple partners with turn by turn software with the regular tiered subscriptions. Apple gets a cut and a new revenue stream keeps rolling in. Only speculation of course.

Didn't mean to hijack the thread, I'm lvl 4 craftsman now - <<screams>>, what's after?

Thanks! And as far as the update to iPod Touch... there are a lot of rumors/chatter hitting the web about secret firmware and possible updates, so it will probably happen for the holiday season.

Cool game but how the bleep do you level up - I've been mining for hours; have tons of crystals, but everytime I access the Store all the blueprints/magic books are greyed out. If I tap on one it tells me: Unlock blueprints by leveling Tool Mastery at The Mine.
What the heck does this mean? Do I just have to keep mining until I start to dribble and rock forwards and backwards or will something tell me when my Tool Mastery is levelled enough????

The bar at the top of the mine that increases with yellow until it's full is your XP pretty much.

Once you mine enough crystals you level up and the game pauses and allows you to choose an area to level up in, and then you can access the store and buy blueprints / magic books.

get your iphone fixed ohhoe ?

How did ya if so.


On topic, im really liking this game more and more. Its not too hard so you can kinda zen out to it, i like that. Sometimes you just want something you can casually let the mind and body roll on without much thought.

BTW, anyone figure out this party system yet? Anyone want to join up or something, im not sure how it works.

My friend is a genius at apple and he just made me an appointment 10 minutes before they closed and got me a replacement.

At master level 4 as well. You need to unlock items and spells to ding. Can't wait for the next stage of this game. Multiplayer, the mmo is coming in a later game.

My first impressions was, "Oh ok, so I do this thing here and build levels, kinda like Puzzle Quest...meh"...I played it for a few hours until I flipped the screen and all of the blocks fell and started going nuts...

For some reason that blew my effin' mind!!!
