Microgue

I cant believe I wasted 50 whole cents on this its supposed to be tilted upright theres not Much gameplay to it and you die almost instantly I would rather get my 50 cents back than play this     Boo

Fun game it worked perfectly for me and kept my attention              Good game

This game is great                 So good

Bouncing between hoplite and several other turnbasedchesslikeroguelikes this one fits in to my collection beautifully Satisfying in all ways fun thinkfirst dungeon crawling If youre into this genre youre in for a treat Great music great controls nice tempo and loads of replayability                 Satisfying and delightful

I bought this while waiting for a car fixup and it ended up doing its job of keeping me from boredom Very clever little game that ends with you learning about every little death possible While always getting farther and farther Frankly though once I got back it was over The game peaks right after the halfway point and once you beat it you realize literally nothing is left I honestly feel like the whole concept could have been expanded since it was very charming           It entertains

The screen minimizes to a tiny box when i try to play it It becomes a small square in the middle of my screen and doesnt get any bigger Its like the way Instagram pictures are if you need an image I will edit this review once this glitch is fixed but for now it will stay 1 star     Way too small screen size

Orientation bug is still there after patch Please fix     Orientation bug

This is a rather strategic Chesslike experience For the most part it seems well balanced and its fun to try and learn exactly what all the enemies patterns are like Sometimes the odds seem a little too stacked against the hero though this may just be part of the roguelike experience I did come across an amusing glitch On floor 8 of one of my runs before reaching the treasure there were 15 enemies only five of which actually got to move There were many many moving walls and tons of floor spikes some on top of walls some on top of moving walls I managed to make it through and went up the stairs to floor 7 From then on going up stairs led to me going down a floor and the dragon began to appear on each floor after that Not sure what that was all about but hopefully that can be fixed Overall the game is an enjoyable experience I would say its worth the price as long as you know exactly what youre getting              Pretty fun And an amazing glitch

I love the simplicity the short time for each level and the randomness of each level It is so enjoyable The one thing needed is the saving of state so that you can go back to it if you havent finished yet I still have yet to complete the quest after forty plus times and it is frustrating if you have to leave to do something else and then go back to level 1 again Other than that great game and great opening artwork on the home screen              Great Little Gem of a Game

Its fun learning about each enemy and then oh man that dragon is tough You definitely can find yourself in sticky situations if youre not careful One thing Id really appreciate is a fast mode that skipped the animations Theyre very nice but you know Ive gotst to get mah fix                 Harder than you think

Kinda cool when starting out but quickly becomes lane and boring        Interesting at first

Does not work     Unstable

Aspect ratio is incorrect Looks enjoyable but its impossible to play in its current state        Unplayable

Fun game like a simplified hoplite Only problem Ive had with it so far is my game reseting every time I leave the window even if for a split second Very inconvenient game crippling almost resist the urge to reply to texts in the off chance it drags me to the text window instead of using the hot bar good game for bursts of 520 minutes so long as that is ALL you are doing review platform 128gb 6              Fun if not overly simple

I wasnt sure of this game would be worth the money but as soon as I started playing I realized what a great deal it was This game has so much replayability and you actually want to keep replaying it I think the only tweak that needs to be made is that if a double headed ogre Mage or not is standing over spikes or a moving block you cant see if its about to activate or not This makes it a little harder to decide on your next move With that change this game would be in my opinion flawless                 Chess Rogue Microgue

The screen orientation issue supposedly fixed in last patch is still present Sorry man Id give you a null non counted score if I could because I think you want to fix it but its unplayable as it is on this still very common device Will reevaluate if patched again     Still letterboxed on iPhone 4

Simply Amazing 5 Stars                 magnificent

Great game I agree with everyone else who loves this game I do not think that it is overly simple because without the simplicity itd be crazy hard My problem though is on the iPhone 4 at least it is a very small size It is turned sideways but cut to a proportion that is better up and down but even with that there is a lot of unessecary space that you could just expand that part and itd be fine Luckily I have it on an iPad where it isnt so bad but its great for a quick play but its too small to play Please fix this              Too small

Great little strategic game thats different every time you play Just fix the issues that others are having with portrait view and it should make them happy too                 Perfect pastime

Its ok better if free           Ok

I bought the game and it loaded to the title and stopped It did this every time its a load of crap and a waste of money I will change the review if this gets fixed     Terrible

There isnt a multitasking feature so when you close the app to open a text or something you lose any progress youve made Its not a bad thing just kinda annoying Otherwise 5 stars              No multitasking

Stupid chesslike combat Really boring     Booooring

This game is great as it is now and I would recommended it to pretty much anyone However I think that its replay value could be greatly expanded upon by adding new characters or even different dungeons each with different enemies              Great potential

I enjoyed this game for the first five times I went into the dungeon But after multiple failures and no option to buy new gear Im done Advice to the devs make the first dungeon shorter than 10 levels and give players a chance to shop           Good but

Like everyone else is saying the game is so shrunken in landscape but wont rotate to portrait layout that you cant play In fact when I try to hit play it keeps going to how to play because the buttons are so small and so close together Please fix     Unplayable

For an indie game made by one person the animations gameplay and combat are great I would appreciate an update in the near future more monsters levels traps areas mechanics etc Very good work                 great

Microgue seems like a fun game Sadly the screen orientation on the IPod 4 is a little stupid Instead of filling landscape it is presented as portrait in landscape orientation What        Problems

Its a very simple game its fun but its annoying to restart if a monster beats you If it could take you back just a level I would play more often              Fun but annoying

UPDATE Ive edited my original review because I have played this a bit more and feel that my initial thoughts on the game were a little too critical Combine pixel graphics an RPG theme and Chess and you get MicRogue The real key to this game is memorization There are many different monsters and each one moves andor attacks in different ways Only problem is that you start with very little information on how to play So in the beginning you are left to figure things out on your own And I think thats where most of the negative reviews are coming from Starting out be prepared to die and die and die again until you begin to learn the patterns Its very easy to get frustrated with this game in the beginning I know I did The constant deaths wouldnt be so bad if you werent kicked back to the start every time But there is little room for error in this unforgiving game I feel like the playability would be increased if you were only sent back one or two rooms after a death Getting to or beyond the dragon and the dying and having to start all the way over becomes demoralizing quickly And I find myself having to set this aside often Not a bad game at all but the unforgiving and confusing At least in the beginning style of play may be a big turnoff to many A proper game tutorial andor adjustable levels of difficulty would probably help out a lot If you enjoy chess or turnbased strategy youll probably enjoy MicRogue But if you are looking for an RPG or a dungeon crawler you may want to look elsewhere           A fun but frustrating chesslike game

I was expecting a more proper rouge like experience The execution is solid but its a very shallow experience        Not much content

I find the game difficult at times but there isnt a lot to do        Its ok

Glad only paid 050 It is not really a strategy game like chess bc enemies always random and you just memorize the way enemies move diagonal two forward etc and move around dodging them until spikes or walls kill them It is near impossible to win if a kid 8 yr old hated it bc even if get to dragon treasure when going back down near impossible to not get killed If you have to play the game for an hour and still have no meaningful progress Not that fun Would not buy unless developers make it easier ability to change floors add ability for you shield to at least survive one dragon fire breath dragon kills you immediately even with 3 shields and sometimes no strategic way to escape or make it more fun in other way There are so many other fun chess like games or strategy games out there for kids or to pass the time        Not that fun monotonous

It is simply just too simple The point of the game is to ignore stats and focus on movement but in that case there should be much more complexity included in the level design Instead of simple having timed spikes it would be much more interesting for a tile to force a character a certain way Stuff like this should be considered before the game deserves 5 stars           Too simple

This is the best Fix orientation though           Fix orientation

This is a fun puzzle roguelike with a mechanic similar to chess Each turn you move your character to a new location andor take down an enemy In response the enemy moves and sometimes uses a special ability Your goal is to avoid moving into a position where an enemy will kill you The mechanic is pulled off well and is quite challenging The levels and challenges get a tad repetitive it would be nice to see more bad guy types or abilities for the main character to add variety Recommended for the price              Simple and Fun

Its a good game but it should be free        Not worth the money

Please update for Iphone 5S     Tiny screen Cant play Unable to play

Very fun short games Takes a little time to learn your enemies movement patterns and special attacks but the payoff is a very rewarding little gaming experience                 Chess meets Rogue

I already wrote my actual review but I did this one because I think you truly deserve a higher rating                 Dudes

Im thoroughly surprised that the orientation bug hasnt been fixed yet I really hope that this isnt a cash grab for you guys to take the money and run Please for your consumers sake fix a straightforward bug           Holy heck

This is what a real game is A genius game idea with no frills or distractions Simple but challenging This is what gaming was before addictive and manipulative techniques became the norm A sole developer with good ideas makes the best games                 Great game and concept

Worth                 Worth

I have no issue with the game except its unplayable The game plays in landscape but looks like its in portrait The result is a tiny screen with TONS of black space on both sides No options to change this Not worth your time or money Learn from my mistake do not buy this app     Nice concept poor execution

This game is sort of like chess with its own set of rules but takes place in a tower looks more like a dungeon Nice pixel art and nice strategy go buy it                 Chess

Microgue is a great little roguelike that feels a lot like chess Theres not much too it but everything thats there is polished and well executed I almost wish there was more and Im tempted to recommend the author doesnt reset your game anytime you so much as try to multitask But at the same time the game is short and very polished for what there is Adding more content or allowing the player to save and return to the game would take away from the games character                 Great game Worth the money

The game is unplayable on iOS7 iPhone 4 The latest update didnt fix my orientation problem        Looks fun but cant play

See title              Simple but challenging infinite little puzzles

The game is perfect for when you 10 minutes to kill Though the game is short the randomly generated levels keep it fresh                 Perfect pocket game

The newest update did not fix the black sidebars on my iPod Touch 5th Generation     Update
