*** Reviews ***
- Time Magazine (online) - featured in "Best New iPhone Puzzle Games":
"I am immediately fond of any game that embraces its own absurdity on the most superficial level. At first, this plays like most match games—the basic principle of which is to line up as many similar items in a row. But in Deeply Absurd Chain, matching items only reveals the next link in the chain, allowing for far more complicated moves. It’s a game that sends you down a rabbit hole of cartoonish puzzling with an archeological theme."
- Daily Mail UK:
"I admit I started playing this purely because of the beguiling title, but it’s a pretty fun little puzzle game, devoid of the usual Candy Crush moments where the game rudely asks for your credit card. You draw lines to connect together blobs, and slowly ‘evolve’ prehistoric creatures. Little brain power is required, but it has a serene, hypnotic quality."
- JayIsGames:
"The longest chain is not necessarily the best move. You need to keep in mind your surroundings. Maybe you want that big patch of rocks to become three warm-blooded rocks instead of just one so you can combine those three into the next part of the chain. Where you end your match is important as well because the upgraded item will land there. Speed isnt a factor, so take your time to plan the best moves... Deeply Absurd Chain has a surprising amount of strategy for something so easy to pick up, and it will keep you playing for quite awhile."
- OneMoreLevel:
"Who knows what absurd thing youll find lurking under the surface of the earth in this strategic match-3 game."
Latest reviews of Deeply Absurd Chain app for iPhone and iPad
very creative game
Quite a fun game, I have played it online and enjoyed it. However, I cannot press "play" in the app without it crashing, rendering it useless.
This is a really fun game, but theres no point in playing because whenever the game of war trailer or whatever it is comes on, the game glitches out and freezes...it like, inverts the screen and I have to completely close out the app to get it going and then it happens again when I need I need to use an undo. The Kindle add blocks the lower portion of the screen and you cant get rid of it. Im on a 128gb iPhone 6.
Ads are a bit glitchy, but mostly theyre fine. I just reached the end of the chain, and its brilliant. Thanks for making an awesome game!
Such a clever and interesting twist on well-known simple game rules. The interesting part comes from the name: it hints that people behind this game have "really thought through". As with any great game - the rules are pretty straightforward (you can understand in a few seconds), but it takes weeks to master the game. Addictive and pleasant to look at. Good job, folks!
