  Vulturus - yes, you are right. I do like the simple interface. Like you said, you are trying to make a fun, 10-minute experience. I think you definitely accomplish that. My thoughts about showing experience is because several times I know that I am getting close to a level-up (where my HP and MP will refill), but I wasn't 100% certain, so I was hesitant to use my magic or go for one more attack. But, if I could see my experience and know I only need a few more experience points to level-up, then I would take a calculated chance and attack or use heal magic, etc.

  Game is now free, I forgot to make it free earlier.

  Okay, I just played through once. I got to floor 13 before dying. I really like this game. You've done a wonderful job. I like how simple it is, and the music is catchy.

  Pros: simple, cute graphics; good music; easy gameplay

  Cons: I think you should lock it into landscape view (on my Android phone, it flips between portrait/landscape); when I was killed, my HP went to negative numbers

  Ideas: what about showing enemy HP (maybe by enemy's head), show your player's current experience or experience needed for level up.

  Vulturus - I just watched the trailer on Google Play. Nice job on the video and the game looks good. Best of luck!

  — - how about an underwater level, a haunted house level, a castle level, a space level, and cavern level?

  Use browser go to :

  "market://details?id=com.yourstuff.yourstuff&write_review=true"

  It will go directly to the Play store on android.

  — - yes, thank you very much. This works just the way I wanted.

  Yeah, I don't like what happens with either of these Browser->URL actions for rating games. Both of them (Goto URL or Open URL in new window) don't allow the user to easily get back to the game. They both open up a "browser window" but you cannot use the device's back button to get back to app. You have to go all the way back to device home screen and click app icon again to re-start game.

  Is there a better way to do this?

  shaircast - is there any difference to using "Go to URL" or "Open URL in new window" ? The reason I ask is when I am testing my APK on smartphone and tablet (this is before published to Google Play), if I click on my RATE button, it will open up a window that says "We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server." That is normal since I haven't published it yet, HOWEVER, I am not able to leave this screen except with the device's home button. The device's back button does not work and my app is stuck on this screen forever. Even if I go back to tablet home screen and click the app icon, it still goes to the "URL not found screen" instead of starting at my app's title screen.

  WizLore - what is the answer to this? What is the easiest way to put a "Rate this App" link in-game using C2?

  DravenX - could be cool like Peggle. I wonder if circular gems (instead of 5-sided) would allow better strategy for hitting more than one?

  nanitoz - definitely take your time and think your ideas through. Have you done the beginner's tutorials? You can either use one big Event Sheet, or break it up into several different Event Sheets and include them as necessary based upon Layouts.

  — - I know you and me both are scratching our heads on marketing. If you figure it out, let me know. All I can do is post on my blog, post here and few other forums, and hope for the best. The head scratching part comes when you realize there are now 1000s of Flappy Bird clones and so many of them have 10,000 to 500,000 downloads. How is this possible? Who is downloading all these? And why? Some are good, but majority are junk.

  Captain - I agree with the Grid Width and Grid Height issues. I can confirm you have to change one, then click into the other box to get the change to stay.
