don’t you all have better things to do than playing games? what can you gain by playing the game? trying to understand the logic here.
What’s your corporate social responsibility? Do you know the age of those people who are addicted to play your game? don’t you think your firm only created a way of destroying teenager’s life?
The troll is strong in this one.
Well, I’ve always loved puzzle games where you can use time and experience to level up characters and special abilities. It’s sort of like a twist to a tetris game. I like the twist and it gives the game a little more depth.
It’s a heck of a lot better collecting baseball or basketball cards or the like which people don’t even question since that one really i feel is a way bigger waste of money.
I’m 16, and mobile games just happen to satisfy my complete ADHD. Unfortunately, I have to be watching tv at the same time while flipping between two shows during the commercials, or be eating, or be on the bowl. I have waaaay too much time on my hands 
did I just lose credibility for being so young?
I’M A MAN!!! I’M 40!!!
I don’t see much of any way that this thread can go but down, but we’ll see. I’m watching you, thread. I’m watching.
In any case, welcome to the forums Chikage. Pretty contentious first thread here.
He may not be a troll and wonder why all of us are soooo engaged in such a petty game. I sort of agree it is petty once you take a step back and reassess the situation. This isn’t going to be one of those games that gets remembered for eternity. It’s going to be something you play while you’re taking a dump. It’s perfectly ok to ask someone why they are so affected by something that doesn’t physically hurt them.
Sort of reminds me when I was a kid trying to land that damn f-14 on the carrier in Top Gun for the NES. I follow the computers commands to the letter and i still miss my landing. I only learned 25 years later that you needed to be at a certain speed and a certain altitude to land. If only the programmers were smart enough to actually code an easy to understand display as to what to do to land.
Also I’m 35.
Yeah it’s a very judging parentesque thing to say if you ask me.
Like they have a kid who’s hooked on the game and they look down on us, disparagingly, judging. 
I dunno, I kind of like this thread. Allows people so see WHY people have certain viewpoints. For example, now everyone knows why my last few posts sounded like a baby hulk with an impressive vocabulary.
What’s your logic here ? What’s a better entertainment to you? What do you lose playing this game? What’s your age, responsibility, passion or any other criteria you want to figure out?
And most of all, why do you post if you don’t play this game at all Are your children addicted to this game?
You better spend more time with them and guide them to achieve something they want.
It would give some interesting perspective if the devs answered this.
Well, I can only answer from a mostly player’s perspective, but sure.
I’ve played video games since I was a toddler on my Vic-20 and Commodore 64. Just as often I was outside skinning my knees, so it’s not like I was/am some kind of shut-in. Games have always been part of my life. So while yes, I could be out helping to cure malaria in a third world country, I make games that bring entertainment instead. It’s a different idea of “better things to do” I guess.
From playing the game I get a bit of enjoyment. It’s the old “watching numbers climb and meters rise” thing, only more complex. Heck, I like “playing” Progress Quest. So there’s that.
As for the last part, that’s a PR nightmare to answer as someone who works for the company. I could put a disclaimer that it’s only my opinion and I’d still probably get burnt in the flames. Not worth it.
I had a c64!
Those load screens were amazing. C64’s invented epileptic fits.
I always heard that was impossible to land? Was it actually possible?
I’m 32 and I like playing this game because I liked playing this game (Puzzle Quest) on my Playstation Portable. As for the addiction factor, there is relatively none, as this is on my phone for enjoyment and a little frustration at times, but never so much that I can’t just put it down and play any other Card Collecting Game. I think the reason I enjoy it is because you can build your roster and upgrade like any RPG, but instead of a new sword to equip, you’re equipping a new Wolverine, etc.
I’m 38.
WHo are these questions directed at? The developers or the players?
Man, you is old. Not that that’s a bad thing. Jeff Minter must outstrip the combined age of some start-ups on his own by now, and he’s still…Jeff Minter.
I’m 30. Been playing for years. 
Got addicted on the first Puzzle Quest and been playing ever since.
I’m thinking a decent proportion of the player base will be in their 30s (me included), we come from a generation that grew up playing video games. I don’t see why I should stop playing games, just because I’m a bit older now. However, I queued up to buy GTA5 when it came out and couldn’t help but think, man, I’m old.
