alt Hacker NewsI loved how quickly the app started up and immediately had me at an interactive step.
I think you really need to have 10-20 levels, not 2, before interrupting with the CTA for paying. I had only just learned the basic rules and had no clue if I liked the game or what hints would even be worth to me.
I was going to comment that the frame rate and responsiveness was oddly bad but when I went back to check a few things it was buttery smooth. Dunno if that was just a weird one-off or something that happens on first launch?
Let me hide the timer. I know, it’s silly. But it truly affects my enjoyment of nonogram games.
I like the simple little beeps it makes when toggling. Have you considered picking triads from different keys? This can break the monotony. You could pick a random key each game and different chords from that key!
Overall this is well done. You should feel proud of your accomplishment!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback — really appreciate it.
About the initial lag you noticed: that most likely comes from the first-time Game Center initialization. After that first launch, everything runs at full speed, but I’m looking into smoothing out that initial moment.
The timer toggle is a great suggestion and I’ll add an option to hide it. And the idea about using triads/chords for the sound feedback is surprisingly interesting — I’ll experiment with this.
Thanks again for taking the time to share this. Feedback like yours really helps me improve the experience.
