NIce job with 10000000. It’s a fun game that reminds me of many classic PC RPGS. Thanks for making something like this on iOS. Also, I thought I’d take a quick moment to offer my services in case you could use some exciting music for this game or any other style for your future projects.
I’m sort of the audio ‘go-to’ person for a few indie devs. I only charge about $100 per song and also do sound effects for a reasonable price. This is a lot less than you’d pay with many musicians. I even offer deals for indie developers to get 3 songs (usually all you’d need for a simple game) for $275. You also own all the rights, so you can use my songs in future projects, promo videos or anywhere else you’d like.
I also do SFX for reasonable rates. I’d be happy to help you create original tunes for any upcoming projects you might have. What’s more, I do this full time, so if you’re coming close to a deadline on a project and need some quick tunes and sfx, I can handle rush orders and quick turn around.
The link below contains various samples I’ve done for other developers. Hit me up on your next project!
Hi there. Great game, but I seem to be stuck at 7334181 points, with no discernible means to get more. I have all possible upgrades and achievements, but the score never goes up at this point. Is that just my final score that I’m stuck with? If so, it should tell ou that, or give you some means to start over. Or is there some possible way to get more points? No matter what runs I make or whatever I do, no more points are being added. Please advise.
Nevermind my last message. I feel dumb that I didn’t realize it was a highest score, not an accumulated score. Anyway, I hit 11+ million on a run and escaped.
To piggy back off of Eric Herman’s comment: Is there no way to get past the rank of Explorer? I’m stuck on that.
Also, is there a way to unlock the last two potions? After you beat the game? I have all upgrades as well and I think the best I can do is around 530k.
Sorry Jeff – I only just spotted this. You should be able to, but there is a rare bug at the moment. An update to fix this issue should be through soon
Great game!
I just recently got stuck on the rank Questor. Probably the same bug as Jeff? I cleared the score to get to the next rank, but the game bugged when I finished that run. After I restarted the app it looks like the ‘quest’ got cleared without me leveling up.
Hey I was loving the game and I got to scout but then all the objectives seemed to disappear and it’s like in stuck. Is there something I can do to fix this? Thanks!
Unfortunately – I am a lost sale. I have a ipod touch and refuse to link my credit card to the apple store. I don’t like it nor do I want to. But I do want to support your work. I apologize in advance that I can’t help increase the numbers of your game by letting it rise in the ‘most purchased’ category. I wish there was a method similar to the Android market where people can buy/download games without a middle man.
If you have a donate button or a method for me to digitally send you 5 bucks for your game – I would be willing.
Is there any reason my experience (purple) values aren’t going up when I kill monsters? I’ve shut down and restarted m app and device and it’s still stuck.
I’m stuck on “Intricate Locks”…I’ve done all the skeleton key’s combinations to unlock the chests, but seems like the game came to a halt…I’ve not seen my wood/stone meter go up ever since,,eventhough I have played for ever…please help…
It seems like the game gets harder pretty fast as the run gets longer. Even with a character who can beat the game, if I start on the easiest difficulty level, I can’t make it more through more than 2 or 3 difficulty levels.
My suggestion for a true “endless mode” after you’ve beaten the game is to add an option so that you stay at the difficulty level you’ve chosen forever, and the game doesn’t get harder. So if you activate endless mode and then play at the third difficulty, you could just wail on difficulty-level-3 monsters forever. Because matching things is fun, and that would be neat. Or you could activate endless mode at the highest difficulty and see how long you can keep going, without death being quite as soon or inevitable with the increasing difficulty.
Oh, I forgot to mention: it would be easier to keep track of which orbs do how much damage if they had little stars in the icons. The lowest-level one would have no stars, and the next one would have one star, etc.
I’d really like to play this game on PC too. I don’t have 300-600$ Apple product, so I cannot play your game, even though I have heard great things about it. I am wishing for a PC version for the New Year.
Hey luca I still seen to be stuck an really wanna play :’( any idea how I can fix it to have goals again they all disappeared or any idea on when a fix will come out?
Hey I beat the game a few weeks back but did not reach the goal to get free! Is there going to be more challenges or is there a way to reset 10000000 to restart from the beginning. Very fun game! Also what are the improvements on the controlls I never had a problem and can’t seem to see or feel any difference?????? Love this game looking forward to hearing are answer?
I was hoping the new update would remedy my issue, but it seems that it has not.
In short, I am stuck at 8.6 Million (and on Hero level) and no matter what I do, my score from a run isn’t added to my overall score.
I can’t say for sure, but this issue with stuck score seemed to come in either when I unlocked Hero or after I started using the potions with the score modifiers, as I’ve maxed out everything (armor, etc).
I currently have all potions disabled, but still the store is not incremented after a run.
I never kept track of the score on every run before this, but am I missing something? Do I have to meet an Objective in order for the score to be added? If it’s the latter, I don’t have any objectives left.
So I’ve been playing this game for quite a while and I LOVE IT. Unfortunately, my score seems to be locked. I don’t have any potions active, so IDK what the problem could be. I do run after run, including runs that beat challenges. I’m currently an Explorer with 2.9M points. HELPPPP
Wait. What? The main score is a high score? So you have to get 10,000,000+ in a single run? So my score isn’t “stuck”, I just need to massacre a run? If so, you should document this in a help screen someplace. If not, could you fix that bug?
All that aside, it’s a great game! Well done. We look forward to some content updates soon!
Yup, single run, good use of potions can help – Yeah it isnt clear enough. I think the thing at home just saying “HIGH SCORE” rather than “SCORE” might do it.
i just finished the game and now that it’s done I really feel like i’m free and can continue living my life without obsessing over my next run!! thanks for making such a fun game. I’m glad I am really free of it now and can be productive again
Absolutely amazing game. You’re an inspiration, Luca.
I read about your “year in monastic isolation” in Wired. I’m curious how the hell you developed that kind of discipline and focus. Was it learned or are you just superhuman?
Hello,
Just managed to finish 10000000 XD, was a really nice game undoubtly. Although the game focuses and is based on the sense of intensity during the gameplay, but I feel that it would be better if the pressure on constantly getting 5-in-a-rows and triple matches were lowered >.>. Perhaps develop a new game focusing more on the rpg and puzzle solving side of the game? Perhaps removing the timer but set a hp value while increasing the difficulty of the puzzle to compensate the loss of skills required?
All in all, thanks a lot for the great game. And I and many of my friends would really love to see a new game developed by eighty eight games that focuses on the 2d rolling rpgs.
I just bought your app after reading about it in MacWorld. But I am totally stumped and need to find a tutorial. At the beginning, there are a few hints about “saving swords?” or “keeping keys” but I need to go back and can’t seem to get back to where this part was. Is there a “real” tutorial anywhere I can refer to and I’m sorry – I must be dense – but I never played PacMan and these symbols are hard to read and understand. But I see possibilities in this game and I think I’ll be hooked once I get the hang of it! Thanks!
I have enjoyed this and its my now default “go to” game when i wanna kill a few minutes but i would like the game to have an option to restart at the beginning now that i’ve unlocked the endless mode. I really enjoyed the upgrading aspect of it all.
I just finished the game yesterday, and I have to say it is very well done and very addictive. I agree that changing “score” to “high score” might help people confused by why it doesn’t change. Also, a basic text explanation of the game in the settings might also help people who forget what the tutorial said. Anyway, I was wondering if there was a way to start over again, I unlocked unlimited play, but I want to do it again from scratch. Is that an option?
Oh you already mentioned a newsletter signup… I was just going to do that. I’d like to be able to sign up to be informed when an android version’s coming. This reminds me of Chuzzle but with dungeony elements. I want to play. On a touch screen. Tell me when it’s out!
I dunno which things you mean, and haven’t played it myself, but this guy goes over a bunch of stuff and what they do and what they’re for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTGX3UnLHJw
Hey luca the game looks amazing I was wondering if you have any idea when it will be out on android because I dont want to pay for it on my ipod then pay again for my android tablet cheers pal
Hi,
I appear to be stuck at 400k score: rank the on after scout. I have no potions so I don’t know what to do??? Also it’s latest version if that helps. And to be sure the score is what you get at end of run and because I’m slow I die quick so I have no idea why my score stays at 406,346?

Thanks again for bringing such awesome games to the market!
Hey! Just want to let you guys know that a bunch of avid iOS gamers are discussing your guys’ newest release, 10000000! Hope you can join us on the forum! (http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=145844)
Thanks.

Obligatory I want this on Android post
Is this coming to Android anytime soon?
Almost certainly.
An android release would make me happy, no iOS devices here. I watched a friend play this last night and was jealous!
Android pretty pretty please
I would pay more for it, like five, even like eight dollars
How far away is the android version? We talking weeks, months or years here?
Hm no word on this
since December. What’s up?
Thank you for 10000000, its great. Who is the author of the music?

Is there anywhere we could download/purchase the soundtrack for the game?

If I started playing and progressing on my iPhone, how can I use my same progress when I play on my iPad?
Thanks!
No iCloud support yet – but I’m looking into adding it
+1, would love this feature to work.
I’m stuck,too. Well over 2.25 mil xp on the Questor title and all the mini-challenges are finished. Hopefully,the patch will come soon.

me too! it’s making me sad because I want to play more.
Same here, stuck at 600 xp, not moving up anymore
How does scoring work? I’m sure there is a method to it, but it just seems to update the score randomly after every few runs.
You get points by a bunch of methods. Running, Killing Monsters, Loot, Matching, Multiple Matches etc. A large part is the length of your run though.
Have you thought of putting in in-app purchases for gold and other items for 10000000?
Thought about IAPs but dont really want to do it. It would stuck-on and, at best, bad. No plans.
This would make a great PlayStation Mini or PS Vita game. Holding the device horizontally and touch controls would be a great fit!
Tell Sony
I’m stuck on “Intricate Locks”…I’ve done all the skeleton key’s combinations to unlock the chests, but seems like the game came to a halt…I’ve not seen my wood/stone meter go up ever since,,eventhough I have played for ever…please help…

How about a PC release? Shouldn’t that be an obvious next step?
I’d like to if there is interest. It plays really well on PC
I’d really like to play this game on PC too. I don’t have 300-600$ Apple product, so I cannot play your game, even though I have heard great things about it. I am wishing for a PC version for the New Year.

When is the update due to fix the explorer bug.
Fixed on update
Hey I beat the game a few weeks back but did not reach the goal to get free! Is there going to be more challenges or is there a way to reset 10000000 to restart from the beginning. Very fun game! Also what are the improvements on the controlls I never had a problem and can’t seem to see or feel any difference?????? Love this game looking forward to hearing are answer?
It just recognises what you are doing quicker, and you can change from a vertical to horizontal slide without releasing your finger.
More stuff is coming
Great game. Totally addicted!
I was hoping the new update would remedy my issue, but it seems that it has not.

Ah! I totally missed that.
Yes, having it say “High Score” would definitely help.
Time to go change my App Store review
Lots of fun.
I came to this page with the same problem that Herman had, basically, I hadn’t understood that my score was a high-score, not a cumulative total.
Might I suggest adding a little text in the menu explaining that for idiots like me who’d miss understood the game?
Same problem as everyone else, read this, put on all score enhancing potions and hit 13,000,000. Freedom!
Yep, clarification needed, but great game.

Hi.
When is the Android release due ?
Hi, could you tell when the Android wersion will be out? Is there a possibility to sign to some newsletter to be informed about that?
Oh you already mentioned a newsletter signup… I was just going to do that. I’d like to be able to sign up to be informed when an android version’s coming. This reminds me of Chuzzle but with dungeony elements. I want to play. On a touch screen. Tell me when it’s out!
I wouldn’t mind a little help with some of the symbols – call it bad eyesight on my part.
What do the little taupe-coloured things that look like hand grenades do? The little cakes (or ships with two stacks)
I’m sure it’s real obvious… to all others.
I dunno which things you mean, and haven’t played it myself, but this guy goes over a bunch of stuff and what they do and what they’re for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTGX3UnLHJw
who did the music for this? It sounds a lot like an artist i’ve listen to a couple times on spotify

Hi, just wondering how to start a new game.
Thanks
Is it possible to get the soundtrack for this anywhere? I would love to support you guys and the artist that created it.
I played this on the PC and really liked it. How can I pay u for it? (P.S. I don’t have apple/mobile device or program)
