User Reviews for You Must Build A Boat

A great sequel and great fun too

The game builds on the charm of the previous game. The graphics are the same as the first game, yet, it is still a new experience. It takes a little patience but it is rewarded by a sense of accomplishment when one completes the game. Yes, it is a time waster. It is also a lot of fun.I have now completed the game twice. That second time the difficulty level is increased. This made it more challenging. I do not know how many difficulty levels there are. I enjoyed it even more the second time. Good replay value!

Way too fast paced

So, I can definitely see the appeal of this game. But, certain aspects of it make it very unenjoyable for me. Mainly, it's because the gameplay is way too fast. The fact that you can't take as much time as you'd like matching the tiles really bugs me, and knowing that taking a long time actually causes me to die sort of stresses me out while playing, causing me to not even be able to think clearly about matching. So yeah. It's a personal problem for me, obviously a lot of people love this game. So if you are really into fast paced candy crush-type games like this, get it. Also, I don't think a game like this should be $3. $1 at the MOST.

Great! But there is a glitch.

I love this game so much! But there is a glitch that allows you to move two or more tiles at once without the match processing. What I mean by that is there can be a possible pair of three. But above or below that row, you can quickly move a tile of the same kind to make it a pair of four or higher. I can admit that I have used this glitch before, but it was for the “get two five in a row matches” it was extremely hard for me to beat. Thank you for taking your time to read this review, if you did.

Could Be Better

Several frustrating aspects of gameplay that could be improved. For one, wasting matches when not in front of an enemy or chest is very aggravating. Second, you never really get to feel OP or powerful. I was hoping I'd get to run through the second time with all my upgrades, against the beginning low-level challenge, but no. Couldn't even complete one run the 2nd time, too hard. Finally, I wish I could undo some up the upgrades (toggle off) like the one that allows matches at the start of th run (they get wasted). I don't like the "You Win" participation trophy, we're not all Millenials. Had I known all of this, I wouldn't have bought the game.

Fun but frustrating

This game has been a bigger headache than any other match 3 game I’ve ever played. Some would say that’s good, and I definitely think that has its place, but I think this game would really benefit from an easy mode. Some people like perpetual ramping-up difficulty, but every now and again I just want to have some mindless fun and wreck shop in a dungeon. A zen mode unlocked after the main campaign could be an alternative. At this rate, I feel like I’m going to reach a point where this game becomes too frustrating to be fun to play.

Fun quick 5 mins turn game

First let me just say that I really do enjoy the game. It is quick paced and fun to upgrade your boat through challenges and your equipment through loot you find in the runs. Good fun. But I really dislike not being able to see the stats of my equipment! I don’t remember which I should upgrade next. So you end up never feeling like you upgraded anything. Chests should NEVER push you off the screen. It should be a break for the player to rest a second and then move on. Instead all the keys will magically become rare drops and you need TWO matches to clear a chest. Aaarrrrrrgggggghhhhh. I die more by chest than anything else. Very frustrating.

Even more fun as co-op....

This game is difficult and fast paced. My wife watched me struggling with the game and asked to try it. She had a hard time too but we ended up playing it together and had a blast! It’s hard to see every potential match and it’s easy to get in ‘deer in the headlights’ moments but playing it together we accomplished greatness. I use an iPad Pro 12” so we lay in bed on our tummies like kids and play this. I’m not sure the developer has heard of it being played like that. The App Store should feature it as a ‘2 play on one device’ game but your moves can mess up the other’s plans so usually one of us is the primary player and when one sees a great match set-up, it’s time to take over. Sometimes we both freeze up and spin a row blindly hoping to set up others matches. I hope we aren’t the only ones that have fun playing this as co-op. There is a magic to the boat and music that really sparks the kind of imagination that many old school games did. I hope to learn of a sequel to this one!

Decent

Good sequel but I have a few problemsLack of information: I can’t check the stats on my weapons, items, or modifiers easily, only able to be checked AFTER UPGRADING. And sometimes I may forget what modifiers a dungeon has and yet I’ll have no way of checking it besides failing it or moving to the next section. The tips screen also has an unintuitive design, having the cycle through all the tips to find something else.RNG feels manipulated against the player: 3 hours into playing and every time I come across an item chest all the required tiles suddenly become rare drops when matching other tiles. The further I progress the more it feels like the game tries to manipulate the drops so I would get less matches than before.

Fun matching/dungeon crawling game

I really enjoy this game as well as its predecessor, 10,000,000. Challenging enough to keep it interesting but fun enough to play to completion. I like the simplicity of the gaming mechanism and that it correlates to a more interesting "story". I also play Puzzles and Dragons a lot and both games are handy to play a level or two while killing time. I've played this one trough a couple times since it came out and I still like. Bonus points for the retro graphics and little bits of humor throughout.

Great game!

I really like this game! It was a bit too fast for me at the beginning, but now that I've had some time to get used to the controls and upgrade my stuff I'm finding it to be quite manageable. It's fun and addicting, but you can play it in short bursts too if you want. I really like how no matter how short a run is, it always says "You Win!" It's just a little thing that makes me feel good about the progress I've made, even if I didn't fulfill a challenge during that run.

You must run to the right. You must focus intently on 2 areas of the screen simultaneously. You must match keys to unlock chests and swords to attack. You must literally collect your thoughts and trade them for dragons. You must not dally. You must not be too hasty. You must voluntarily ramp up the difficulty by taking on multiple quests at once. You must incrementally reach your goals. You must build a boat. You must try again. You must try again x5. You must win every time, even when you don’t. You must remain optimistic. You must upgrade your magic staff. You must occasionally stop playing to allow for your hand to uncramp. You must take credit for random chain combos you made no effort to arrange. You must trust a blue bean man to make dangerous investments with your money. You must forget about the blue bean man. You must mind the asp. You must reconcile that despite the game’s title, you begin your journey in possession of what is, in no uncertain terms, already a boat. You must build a boat. You must go all-in on the retro aesthetic. You must trade junk for gold with the voidorb. You must pray for salt. You must consume fish and tomatoes for time. You must venture through hell. You must disarm traps like your life depends on it. You must make an offering at the chapel. You must rally the Fantasy Union and the Undead Buddies to your cause. You must weigh anchor and methodically yet joyously hop in sync with your entire crew. You must feign interest in critiquing the gardener’s work. You must look up at the clock and wonder how it’s so late already. You must build a boat. You must build a boat! YOU MUST BUILD A BOAT!!!
