Hello, I'm happy to hear that it's part of your routine! The reason for that gif is that it shows up when someone hovers over the thumbnail when searching through itch and it gives them a good idea of how it plays so I would rather keep it there. I do want to help your morning brain though. So I can understand the problem a bit better - is there a reason that full screening the game doesn't work for you?
Thanks for sharing how you found the game! I remember making some games with scratch back in the day. I found the remake and all the remixes they're making over there - really fun to see everyones' takes on the game. I wish the main remake could link directly to this page but at least you were able to find it by searching. Anyway, enjoy!
Hi! It's really impressive that you were able to remake the game in scratch. I don't know too much about the scratch ecosystem and it seems like you know a good deal about it. I'd love to talk with you about what it's like but I couldn't find your email listed on your itch or scratch. My email is ezraszanton@yahoo.com - please reach out!
Well, I can’t really share my email for personal privacy reasons, but feel free to reach out on Scratch (or here), I’d be happy to answer any questions you have! I might not be able to answer them all, as I’ve just started learning to code/using Scratch. BTW - If you want a great source of information relating to Scratch, I’d highly recommend theScratch Wiki. :)
Hi Ezra! My wife has been trying to play Domino Grove on her Apple iPad in safari. Before the recent update, during every second game she played the tab would reload part way through the game and she'd have to start over. Since the update it sometimes saves the games state and sometimes doesn't, but now it reloads the tab part way through nearly every game. Let me know if you want any further details and I will try to dig them up.
Hello! Thanks for reporting this, I'd love for it to work smoothly on Safari. That sounds frustrating about it reloading partway through. A couple questions:
* When the game doesn't save, does the whole thing start fresh or does it load from a couple turns back?
* Does there seem to be any pattern to when the game reloads? (like, after you place a piece or after X seconds or something)
Looking forward to finding a fix for this!
Hello,
Not sure if you are supporting web on mobile, but I got a bug where the piece stopped moving mid-drag. (I think I got a notification when that happened). Restarting the game reopens the save but without any piece to place, so I can't proceed.
The game was interesting for the amount I played at least.
Wow, I've become totally addicted to this game. There is much deeper strategy in this game than I initially thought and it's totally sucked me in. My PB so far is 298.
I've also discovered that this game is just as interesting if you play with the goal of getting a low score rather than a high score. It involves a little more luck, and makes the end of the game really strategic. The lowest score I've achieved so far is 12.
Hi! I'm glad you like the game and that's a pretty good PB! Could you elaborate a bit on the game reload thing? If it's something like "Loading game for first time" that might just be because we're live updating the game as we add new features. If it's something else, I'd like to hear more so I could take a look and try to fix it!
I considered adding a preview or choice for the next domino. I think it would work but it would change the feeling of the game in a way that I didn't want. I'm prone to analysis paralysis so I try to make games that don't trigger that in myself and having more information on your turn would balloon the time spent searching for the perfect combination of moves. I also like the feeling of trying to hedge your bets because you don't know what will come next.
