Hi,

it's a really great game. Here's my "review".

[to improve]
I start with them and end with what I like, so it has a better after-taste.
-Some levels are too hard or can only be done by great luck.
-The game runs too fast IMO. It's not really a logical game, it's putting me in a very stressed condition. (I'm a bad gamer, mind)
-a slight feedback when you press a button might be nice. It feels so "rigid" - very minor thing, though.
-a jump-button might be easier to press than the up-slide. There's a slight delay when you have to slide.

[what's ace]
-the graphics. Really nice. I wish I could draw half as that.
-it's very smooth on my iPhone. No idea about 3G/iTouch 1G
-the cut scenes. They make this game a real gem and keep you coming back to play some more. I really must remember that for my future games.
-the music. Very cheerfully.

I'm so happy that there's now so many really great games on the App Store made with GLBasic. This one, definitely is one of the top 3 gems.


DO UPDATE THE TEXT for the app store to yield, that you deled with the memory problem and wait for review!! The text updates within a few hours!

Hello Kitty, thanks for your review!!

You are right about all the things that you think that must be improved ....
In the update (that is in review  ) I slowdown the scroll and I move a few enemies to other places to make it easier (in the firsts levels).  To be honest is very difficult to me to find the perfect balance between easy and hard to play, that's why I need your  feedback ! 

About Jump button....I can't find a solution for this, because in the higher levels you must tap over screen to break blocks or move switches to change rollers's direction that are on the floor...

About the interface (menu, buttons) It's the less worked part in the game..... I need to work more in this part !

Great that you really like the graphics, The graphics was hand made by my wife and digital painted later !  (Sierra online anyone?  )

I will take your advice about the description in App store !!!!

Thanks again for your support !!
GLbasic is a powerfull language!

Hi Erico, how are you?
I can compile the game for Windows if you want to try it !.  Maybe you'll fight a bit with the mouse (you must use it like it was your finger)...
Give me a few days and I send it to you!
Maybe you enjoy the game and we can do together a new version with gorgeous graphics! 
Cheers!

[erico]

nice!
I have a tablet, might be easier then the mouse to work it out hehe.

About luck.... I need a house full of that !!
The sales are very bad !!!

[Kitty Hello]

Really!? The game is so great!

Do this:
-DON'T MAKE IT FREE. People download just to give bad reviews!
-make a video on youtube
-post about this game in the forum of toucharcade.com
-keep that thear alive, by saing: "The first 5 people to reach level xxx and PM me will get.. (a free code for another game?)

The game really is great. It's a shame it doesn't sale.

Hi Gernot, how are you???
Thanks for the tips!!
- You are right about make it free !    I'm trying to get more exposure because I think that is the main problem....
-I have 2 videos on youtube (less than 300 views each one)
-I posted the game in toucharcade forum (I have 3 or 4 threads) but I had poor views (600 max) and very very poor replies (2 or 3)
-That's a good idea!

I had a website too www.rollandfall.com.ar

It sure interests me, I'm designing production for an years plan...
idea is to focus on quantities and try REEEAL hard not to be too attached with each outcome(my kiiids! ), if you played street fighter 1, you can't really believe capcom planned street fighter 2 and all of it's outcomes before?

For the choices to be fair one would need to know the time span...
If I'd guess it's a month....

and never played just looked at screen shoots+video:
I would guess between 2 and 3.(uau! I voted 2 choices!)
Game play looks interesting enough from the videos I believe you will get more as word spreads...
Do you have a lite version going? From what I studied it seems to be a help factor.

If you may accept some constructive criticism from a person that never released an app before...

1- foreground tiles may be enhanced, check http://www.pixeljoint.com/ for inspirations

2- background is nice, but maybe some contrast difference between it and the fore?
   nightmare in the dark for the neo geo is an ace example of the effect...

3- add some dust effects on collision?

4- I'm not a fan of the 'turn page' effect on the videos, but that is just me.

I can't really say much, it looks nicely playable and tasty from the videos already, may be my opinions are too over.
It sure deservers more then option 5 though.

Thanks Erico for your feedback, I really need that !
I agree with you, I think that I need to improve some graphics!...   
About dust....It's a nice addition! I'll take that!
I'll send to you the Windows version's  Roll'n'Fall tomorrow , you'll can play it and change some graphics if you want !  (No Shoebox for you!)
