Community Insight:
Fun lil game. Just wish they would still update it from time to time.
Never thought Id be googling barcodes for fun. Hah.
Very enjoyable game, lots of fun to play. We love how BARCODES bring along new enemies. The equipment you gather during the game is cool. We would like to see this game continue on. We dont know if updates will occur but this game is so to pass the time with :).
Good game . Worth for money. Only 1 dollar.
This game is a great game to play when waiting for certain things to happen throughout life, for instance waiting in line to get a haircut or simply waiting at a restaurant for your table. It's entertaining but not so addictive that you can't put it down to spend time with those around you. Keep up the good work developers.
Game is fun, but crashes whenever you start it up. We found that if you start the game on airplane mode, the game runs smoothly without crashing. Hope they can fix this problem soon, but for now, you can try that as a quick fix.
We play this game while the wife shops and it embarrasses the hell out of the kids. Love this game.
You have to pay for extra life to fight more if your mana is out nor you have to pay $0.99 for 5 Bottle to reload… You better make this app for free not for $0.99 . What a waste of money.
Won't load past the first logo.
This is an amazing game. It is actually our number one time killing app. Or at least it was. But ever since the new update we can't even get past the first logo without it crashing. Please fix. Even with the new update it still keeps crashing like immediately.
Crashes and we can't play very frustrating please fix for a 5 star review.
Crashes within 30 seconds of opening the app. Hopefully it's fixed, what we've been able to play is pretty good so far, just need to fix the crashing.
The game crashes way too much. We can't even start it without it crashing before the first screen. Save your money and avoid this title.
Great game! Five stars for that. However since the latest update, we can only play the game if we turn off our data/put our phone in airplane mode. Please fix.
Great game, but latest update chasing constant crashing and we can no longer play. 1 star until it's fixed.
We were enjoying this game, but with the latest update we can't open it without it crashing. And the loading screen specifically says you will lose all your data if you delete the app. Unplayable and very disappointing that we can't redownload to see if that helps.
Pretty good game, just needs to diversify the enemies a bit.
Few crashes and bugs but it's a good way to kill time.
This game, unlike the original, is more personal in that the player has only one character which he may customize with different weapons, armor, and heads, each with their own stats. Due to the game revolving around a single character, loot is now a drop from battles, which can be equipped after being obtained. The player may also choice to fight with a sword, a bow, or a staff. These may be switched before battles. There's also a mercenary mechanic, which serves as a sort of buddy the player character fights alongside. Doubles of weapons, armor, and heads may now be combined for upgraded versions. The battles now take place on a 2D fighting screen. While there ARE a few little bugs and glitches, such as the game sometimes freezing when scanning codes or the battle continuing after the player's character has been defeated. Despite these small problems, however, the game is a good sequel overall.
While this game has a lot of potential there is many bugs. Such as the lvling system.
Everytime our debt card balance is under a dollar since getting this game it freezes all downloads die to a problem with a previous purchase, ive now paid for this game 3 times.
There is a lot of good things put in place for the developers to build on in the future.
A new way to use barcodes! Brilliant.
Just so long as you've got enough barcodes lying around. Or you can always do a google image search for "upc code".
Fun app, fun game. You get what you pay for. 99 cents not bad at all.
It doesn't feel very deep, and the barcode mechanic is kind of sparse. It doesn't really feel like it's worth $.99 when it also has IAP. The pixel graphics are done well enough.
The scanning of barcodes becomes very annoying. If you scan a barcode at least allow that barcodes monster set be fought as many times as we want without scanning a new code. Wouldn't be so bad if the other portals didn't cost energy, which is odd for a game we paid .99$ for. The upgrade weapon system is stupid because if you have two of the same weapon you can't upgrade the one equipped or the ones in the storage. Allow for any weapons or armor to be upgraded no matter if the item is equipped, in storage, or in your backpack. We can't find any use for wands or bows because they are so incredible slow firing. Using a sword is really the only good way to play. This game has some potential but seems poorly executed. The energy system should be removed completely, it doesn't make us want to give you more real money by having it, it just makes us want to put the game down quicker. A paid game should be free of these gimmicks. Charge people for quicker gold all you want but having to refresh energy, especially in a game that isn't a global multiplayer, makes no sense at all. It shows the rev expects us to pay money for potions to refresh the timer but there is no incentive, the game has no goal or story to it.
It was fun for about 5 minutes. There really isn't any kind of direction in the game. We upgraded the portal to medium level randomly, not sure how to unlock hard. The quests all deal with killing monsters in hard mode portal..the "campaign" type portal doesn't really add anything to the game, extremely repetitive.
We play on a iPhone 5s and you guys changed the resolution. Now the edges of the map are off screen and we can no longer access some events and one of the dungeons. We hope this gets fixed.
