Benediction - a game by Mike Schramm

This game is great for passing the time while pooping Simple to learn and addicting                 Great

This a fun game with addictive gameplay The only problems with it is that often when you try to hit a face of a certain color a face of another color will go off instead Im not the only one with this problem But for the price this is a awesome game              Addictive with a few missteps

My wife and I downloaded this game and competed with each other This is because there was nothing challenging about the game While reading the reviews I realized that this game is a reflection of what Mike wishes he could be The App Store Mikes version of the game and all of us are the pawns of his petty atrocities Download this game and get addicted to mind blowing mediocrity However read the 4 star reviews to see what Mike thinks about himself     Fun for sockpuppets

Colors for the colorchallenged of us the green and yellow are too similar in shade Perhaps the green could be darkened for better contrast Description the game description in the game is too brief to really understand the play Desc in App Store is better Perhaps game play is buggy causing confusion It seems like adjacent colors dont always get their prayers answered Updated version smiley faces now tiny on retina iPad Green and yellow still too similar in brightness for color impaired but tap locations getting better        Colors and description

Extremely addicting game cant put it down Plus its free what more can you ask for Grab it you wont regret it                 Great Game

Its a free game but Id pay 99 for sure Games are quick its addictive exactly what I want from this kind of title I got way more than expected from this simple title Thanks Mike Shram And I want a paid sequel                 Five Stars You Say

Easy but yet compelling as you earn upgrades by playing                 Great game

I read about this game on Cult of Mac and watched ur vid Looks simple bit I noticed as Im playing when I select a happy face the game pics the face below what Im trying to hit Hope you can fix it Addition I didnt think it would bother me but this game seriously needs some action sounds It is hopelessly addictive I have no idea why but I enjoy playing it Please improve this weekend project              Touch is off

Seriously just lame        Lame

A decently addictive game Its not without some bugs At least once per round the game will register a different color than what I selected More than once this has caused an adverse outcome Hope this canwill be fixed           Fun but has bugs

Pretty fun app keeps ya busy for a little while at least haha sometimes clicks wrong color but not too bad                 Addictive

Greeeeeeat                 Greeeeeeat

There used to be giant heads but it switched to tiny heads that hurt your eyes and ake it impossible to play Terrible update i will change my review when the game is playable and enjoyable again        Used to like but now too hard to see

Even with some touch issues which should update soon the game keeps you wanting to come back The desire to get a higher score and upgrade the skills is like a minirpg arcade game                 Fun Addicting Game

This game seemed simple in the beginning but then after playing a short 5 minutes I kept coming back to it Before I knew it I was hooked                 Fun

Could this be the incredible app of amazing appness              Great

If your looking for a game to play while bored at work or just sitting on the can try this free game Thanks Mike for your hard work Really addictive                 Great time killer

a fun little game thatll grab a bunch of your precious time                 hard to put down

Dont be fooled by the simple look of this game Its very easy to start but you quickly begin to develope strategies to maximize your score Almost every time I play Benediction I say to myself just one more round Ive sunk a few hours into this game jut leveling up and cant wait to try and work my way up the leaderboards I really hope we get added functionality and game modes in the future What are you waiting for Its free                 Should have been called Benaddiction

This game is actually a lot of fun to play I find myself addicted to it when I have a free moment on the train or in line I can literally play for a few seconds or just keep playing longer Great app                 Great Game

Like the concept which shouldnt surprise coming from this guy                 Schramm rules

Hey I love this game Its got me through four class periods Is there a tipoaa mode like in antithesis I am at beloved                 Great

I frequently find that the game is registering the wrong touch target Roughly a third of the time it seems to pick the target next to the one Im tapping and its not always the same one It could be to the left to the right above diagonal Its really annoying        Fun but

Word                 So much fun

An easy fix can make this game a lot more enjoyable for your colorblind users Please employ more contrast between the yellowgreen and bluepurple colors They are too close to each other At first glance I thought there were only two colors on the screen Maybe a fix that would work for everyone would be to let us choose the colors from a palate or something I would love to play your game It looks like a great concept The current color selection prevents me from playing the game              Colorblind Please Help

This is an interesting take on the match three genre but I just have a few suggestions I understand the game was made in two days but when I tap on a face it doesnt always register which face I tapped and removes a different one nearby Also the instructions dont mention how different upgrade bars are filled by different colored faces There is also no mention of faces that are diagonal being cleared which is an important distinction from most games of this type Overall though a great game that could be even better with a little polishing              Fun but could use some work

Fun game will be worth the 5 star once the update comes out                 Addicting and simple

Fine app I like simple graphics not distracting and lets focus on tha game itself              So amusing

I like this game Its fun its simple and down to the point I hope you add more upgrades this game is oddly addictive even though its easy to get everything I already got everything and Im still playing              Awesome

Its an addicting game that I dont want to stop playing Its levels are short enough to fit a round in in between checking Facebook and reading the news without missing a beat Give it a try              Well worth the price

Fun idea I wish it was a bit more robust You can over think which group color to pick and when to time your powers for maximum smiles per second or you can simply tap the center of the screen over and over either way you will eventually everyone becomes all powerful Woah maybe thats the hidden message Mind blown                 Simple fun for simple people

But the accuracy is still a problem           Fun

I downloaded the game to support indie gaming I am not a gaming enthusiast for the iOS and most games I buy or when I download free games tend to drift away into the cold storage of my iTunes Library I downloaded Benediction a few hours ago and I have been playing nearly nonstop The game definitely exhibits the easy to learn challenging to master philosophy Gameplay is simple you gain points by clearing the field of likecolored adjacent smileys However each attempt eats away at a power bar so there are only a set number of times you can attempt to clear smileys before the game is over The board is refreshed with a new random assortment of smileys each time you clear The goal is to accumulate the greatest amount of points so you are quickly put into a spot where you you need to be strategic in what you clear However just when you start getting into the swing of things you find you have accumulated enough points to buy enhancements These enhancements are powered by the color you clear and when the enhancements are fully charged they provides a change in the game for instance the blue enhancement adds energy so you can get more clear attempts The more you play the more points you earn and the more you can upgrade your enhancements The pacing is excellent there isnt really any point where you feel that the game stalls Even as you are earning points the dynamics of clearing the screen efficiently and strategically utilizing enhancements keeps you engaged The only drawback I see right now is that there are times that on the iPad the smiley you click on is not the smiley that receives the interaction and as a result Ive had the wrong smiley activate However this doesnt break the game At worst that one attempt may not be great but then random chance can produce a similar result It would be nice to have that fixed though In the meantime the best workaround I have found is that when clearing a large field of likecoloed smileys try to click in an area that is surrounded by the color you want to clear so find where 2 3 or 4 smileys touch I strongly recommend this game for both the iPad and the iPodiPhone I expect this little gem will be keeping me occupied for a very long time                 Wonderfully addictive

Fun addictive and irreverant Great job Schramm                 Worth every penny

I entered the code TIPOAA when downloading and got 25 off the price of this game Excellently addictive free game just as Mike described himself                 Entered the code

A very neat little game Very simple right down to the simple graphics and no sound but pretty neat Im not having the tapaccuracy issues others are talking about fwiw                 Cool but Simple

Did I take crazy pills this morning How could anyone find this entertaining Stupidest crap ever     R u serious
