Tomb of the Mask: Pixel Maze in IOS

★★★★★ App Store Editors’ Notes

★★★★★ Wonderful job! I definitely recommend!

Extremely addicting game! I admire when people actually make games that aren’t just to leach money by showing you a thousand ads over the course of an hour. While there are ads, there is purpose to the game aside from the aforementioned ads. And who am I to tell you you can’t make a little money for the hard work you’ve done? I mean, you could charge a couple bucks for the game itself- and personally, I’d pay for it- but it’s easier to get people to get a phone game if it’s free, so I understand. The gameplay is smooth and easy to get the hang of without being too easy. Plus I’m a sucker for eight-bit graphics and logo animations. The old style arcade music just makes the whole thing come to life as if I were playing on a arcade machine. I adore it! While I would absolutely love to see some storyline in there (like maybe at the beginning to explain why you’re traversing this huge temple), but it’s set up in such a way that you can almost come up with your own story. To be fair though, I’m only on level 20, so there might be storyline later in the game or at the end, but I don’t know. All that to say I love your game, and I recommend it to anyone looking for something to play in the car or while waiting. The levels are generally short so there’s a lot of pausing points if you need to stop. Anyway, thank you for your wonderful work and keep it up!

★★★★★ Overall good game! Some issues/suggestions.

All in all, this game is a very great game. It is a very fun and different style of gameplay then what I’m used to. It’s addictive nature is what sells the game. The ads are fine by me, I simply play without internet. (Although it could get a bit annoying but I understand it. It’s a free game.) My only problem with this game is the energy system. I don’t understand it. (I have reason to believe that it stops players from speed-running the game.) The system seems more punishing to players that make a wrong move or swipe on accident, rather than being a balancing aspect of the game. Most games that have a energy system are very good games that limit themselves by preventing people from playing constantly. Some suggestions/additions I’d make would be, music for arcade mode (It gets a bit quiet). And maybe a level creator? It sounds like a stretch, but this game has created the perfect platform for creators to develop and publish levels for other TOTM players to enjoy. And this can be balanced: limit level creation to only premium members who spend money on the game. (It is a free game, but I understand the pricing for premium) Although I’d favor that PLAYING fan-made levels should be available to everyone. But overall, a very great game. The aesthetic is fun to look at, and the game is a challenge that requires patience and some insight. Nice job.

★★★★★ Problems I experience

This games is really, really addictive. I have very minimum space on my phone and I decided to try this app out. I deleted it (due to amount of space it took up) but then quickly regretted my decision. Very addictive game. The only problem(s) I experience are the ads. After I complete a stage, an add pops up and they are usually 30 seconds - a minute long. This gets frustrating because I can glide through the stages in under a minute. This really is frustrating. Another problem are the lives. When I'm playing a stage and fail, I loose a life. I would play the game more, but loosing a life every other stage or so, takes all my lives away in under 10 minutes. I just wish that we didn't need to rely on the lives. My last problem that I have experienced are the power-ups. For example, during the tutorial, the directions say to double tap the screen or tap the shield in the bottom left corner. Sometimes I go to fast and accidentally double tap, therefore wasting my shield when I didn't need to. The double tap is a pretty good idea, but not for a game like this where you may accidentally double tap. This game is really, really, really fun and addictive (quite literally) and I hope all the problems get sorted out to make this the dopest game of the year. - Thank you for reading

★★★★★ A fun little game but has its problems

The game itself is fun, I like the movement, the traps, the sounds, the Pac-Man-esque style, but I have a few problems with it. For one, after around level 100, there are a few challenging levels, but pretty much from then on every level was repetitive and too easy. I preferred the challenge rather than just flying through level after level, putting limits on myself or else I would beat it too fast. Another problem is the ads: I know it’s how you make your money but showing an ad after literally every game is excessive. I watched some videos to open chests (because that’s pretty much the only way to finish the “open X chests” challenges without waiting for days on end) so having more ads on top of that is annoying. Finally I have issue with the “diamond membership” that you and a bunch of other games have been offering lately. $7.99 a WEEK for what, 4 masks you’ll never use, 400 coins per day, and no ads, which on any other game would cost like $3.99 once? Do you really think this game offers almost 4 times as much value as, say, Netflix, which charges like $9 a month? I would pay $7.99 ONCE for these things, maybe. I bet you offer the 3-day free trial so people sign up for it and forget to cancel, too. Having finished all the levels, I can say all in all that this is a fun game that could have been better executed if more effort was put into the levels and it weren’t muddled by greed.

★★★★★ To easy

I rated this three stars because it is to easy it is hard to understand the concept of It being this easy so I feel that the screen needs to be a little tougher maybe not you are not too easy maybe like just right for kids 12+ something is for kids 12+ it should be harder for the older kids in the younger kids so saying this I feel that it should ask you for your age and then based off of the age make it just right for that age so like if you’re 12 it should be hard if you’re up 4 it should be easy It should be based off their age because it’s just right for that age and they should be able to change your aid my a it should be based off the age because it’s just right for that age and they should be able to change The age of the person gets older like I’m 11 so it should be harder for me than a four-year-old and then like if you’re 12 it should be harder than a five-year-old so based off whether you’re 12 11 or10 whatever you should be able to change your age that way if you’re four and then you turn 10 within six years then that age should be hard enough like just rain but not harder than it should but this is too easy for me being an 11-year-old so I’m just saying that it should I ask for the age also parents just so you know this game has certain add to it I’ve seen that are age-appropriate starting from the age 8+ year-olds so just make sure that you know that the ad can be inappropriate

★★★★★ DEVELOPERS PLEASE READ!!!

I love this game and I got it only 3 weeks ago and have gotten half of the masks and beaten all of the campaign levels. Now here’s my question... Is there any way to make a level editor? I’m probably not the only one to have asked for this but am definitely one of the most enthusiastic for this to (hopefully) come. If there was an editor I would definitely consider buying the Diamond Membership and would enjoy the game much more. I would also share the game to all of my friends and recommend it to anyone I know. Now I understand if you guys will ever add this that it will take some time (2-3 weeks dependent on how many people are working on this add-on) and I will be very patient in waiting. Please, if anyone in the Playgendary team could get back to me, I would love to inform you on what else I would like added because I can see a very big change (better version) of this game to come. All you guys would need to do is to make a server capable of handling millions of people uploading their own levels... not that hard right??? Well that’s all for now, thanks for making this stupendous game! - DolanTheCookie... (As a side note please add all the fractures that are currently in the levels. My favorite of them is either the rotation of 90 degrees or the blocks that appear after having been touched.)

★★★★★ More ads than game

This is a game that is used to play SOOO much, especially a few years ago. The game is super fun, but the ads just get me so mad. If you win or lose, no matter what you get an ad, then the next level/retry button isn’t automatically available, meaning if you’re not paying attention and press the “retry” or “next level” button it won’t work, and instead of not letting you go to the next level or retry, it makes you watch the ad above the retry/next level, even though you didn’t press it. Usually you’re watching 2-3 ads every level, which was not at all how it was a couple of years ago. I understand the devs need to make money, but the amount of ads is super annoying. On top of that, every time you open the game, you’re hit with 3 optional transactions, which is just a pain to go through even though it’s quick. Also the transactions are expensive ranging from about $10-$100 which is crazy. I still like the game but I can’t go like 10 minutes playing the game anymore cause the ads are way too annoying. I still recommend getting the game because it’s still fun, but be warned you need a ton of patience if you do, and in the off chance the devs are reading this long review, please change it back to when there were basically no ads, everyone wants it, just look at the 1 star reviews.
