Hi NightBlade

Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into those bugs and try and get them fixed. The screenshot in your other comment is super helpful. The one with the loop not being scored is very interesting. Just keep in mind that you only score points from the tile being played - so if you make a sequence with 1-2-3 you get 30 points, but on the next turn if you added a (3) tile to the end to make 1-2-3-(3), you'll only get the points for the 3-3 and get 20 points.

I have a build that is going to be uploaded soon, so I'll try and either fix the bug or make that mechanic more clear :)

Thanks!

Hi Spectragate,

To be clear, in the introductory tutorial, that move - me placing the 3 earlier than the tutorial prompt about a loop - got me three things scored (I think it was sequence, same, and loop), all in one turn. If you try it, you'll see that only the sequence points add to your total. (The game shows a nice "wow 90 points total this turn!" or something, but it doesn't actually gain you those points.) So instead of getting 20 + 30 + 40, you get just 20 points.

It's easy to see with any closed/sequence or closed/same ... only the first of the two things mentioned that turn grants you points, the second doesn't.

I see what you mean now, and that's definitely a bug. When I added the animations for the little screen that shows the score, it seems I broke the code that's aggregating points from multiple path types (eg, a sequence + a loop).

Thanks for reporting this!.
