Ba-Bomb! and Ba-Bomb! Lite

I put a lot of work into this game, and hope that it sells.
Ba-Bomb is a casual puzzle game with an explosive twist. This isn't just another clone of bejeweled. Ba-Bomb! is totally original: easy to pick up and play, hard to master.

Try it yourself

The iPad version was released today. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ba-b...9424?ls=1&mt=8

looks quite awesome on screen... will hopefully get to try this one out!

ok, this is REALLY FUN!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm supposed to be working on 2677 but I can't stop bombing my screen! The punch cards are FANTASTIC! 5 stars!

This is definitely pro stuff. Another great inspiration.

Looking great! Congrats for your release Pineapple!!

Not another clone of Bejeweled indeed! It's a nice and polished puzzle game, with a little feel of bomberman. On the title screen of the Lite version, I see an MMF diamond which shouldn't be there I believe.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I also forgot to set the correct app name that displays on the home screen. I'll fix it when I get around to making an update.

Nice Game ! Really well executed, and original, good job.
Though, I would have small comments about your "business model".

When I first arrived in the menu I clicked on normal. I think every player will clic on "normal" (every player want to play the normal way first). So the question is, do you want players to play the normal mode or the quest mode first? Maybe I'm wrong but I think your "quest mode" should be your main mode if you want to sell some copies of your game.

You'll probably answer me : "it is", but in this cases, you should rearrange your menu :

- With a bigger quest button than any other button (instruction is far to big).
- Maybe with a different color for the quest mode ?(black font and white BG?).
- Also, it would maybe more apropriate to change the "normal" mode to a "quick play" mode.

Usualy casual players are not big fans of game modes and menus, they prefer to get to the game as fast as possible. Look at candy crush for exemple, there is no game modes in it.
I don't want to sound pretentious, and talk like the guy who know everything, but in my experience, "casual players" play the main mode, and rarely play the alternative modes (and I'm sure your game center table would prove that point).

Anyway your game is great, I hope it will be a sucess !

I just have a new idea, maybe you should make a screen like that :

------
Quick Play
Quest
Instructions
Back
------

Then,when the player clic on "Quick Play", it brings him to another subscreen :

------
Normal
Timed
Aqua
Twitch
Back
-------

Just an idea, maybe I'm wrong... do as you wish! ;)
