Good intent, needs polish.
The developers clearly are putting effort into this title, and with some more polish, it would easily replace a lot of board game apps. Here are a few suggestions to really improve this game:
1) graphic design: I see that theyre going for a theme of ancient cartography and parchment which is very cool. However, the limited range of earth tones and wood grains makes some of the elements hard to read. In connect 4, the board color is very similar to the chips. Dont be afraid to use a little more color, perhaps aged coins with turquoise oxidation instead of wood? deep reds like in wax seals, etc? More color!
2) font: I realize they wanted to keep it consistent with the script font, but its rough on the eyes. Maybe use the script font for headlines and select a classic serif font like Minion or Garamond (not the best, but its free and accessible) for blocks of text, like instructions and menus. The script font is just overused throughout the app.
3) the icon: looked great till it finished installing, then the final icon is bland and low res, and it just says "BG".
4) a full screen mode with a nice, large board would be a huge bonus.
I give the suggestions because I love what youre doing with this app, and I think it has awesome potential! Keep it up.
