Hi!

I've made many improvements in the game. Could you please look at it and tell what you think about it? Your opinions are very valuable for me.

You can get the game here:

I like it but I found it quite difficult. The pirates climb quite quickly and once they get 3/4 of the way up it's difficult to come back. The weapons are a nice touch but often they actually do more harm than good. Especially the balloon weapon. By the time all the shots are used the pirates have normally made it another 1/2 way up. I found myself wanting to be able to remove groups but forced to click on single pirates.

I think you could push the hard sell more. The first time I played the game it mentioned that itwas the demo version at the end of the level. The second time I played there was no mention, save the buy button on the front screen.

I would change the word 'Close' on the hiscore screen to something like 'Back'.

Overall it's a lovely game. I think for the 'click matching colours market' though, it is perhaps a little too quick. I suggest trying the pirates slowed down a lot, say half their speed and making the rule 3 matching colours rather than 2. The threads on Dexterity seem to suggest that an easier game sells more copies.

Best of luck with it!

Hi!

Thank you for trying the game. But have you try to play in easy mode? It must be slow enough. And you may try to play in puzzle mode, which is much slower. We do not expect that all the people will be able to play arcade mode because some people have slow reaction. We have some players, who said us that the game is TOO SLOW in hard mode, for example. And we attempt to make something average between too hard and too easy game.
