The new tiles make it hard to see the “suggested match”. The suggested match is so faint or the prominence of the new tiles are too much making it hard to identify the “suggested match” quickly.
The “black color” for strike, attack, protect tiles blends a lot with the deep set colors of the new tiles. It’s especially worse when it’s on a black special tile on black tile.
Good changes:
Red, purple and yellow color intensity is excellent.
Shapes were done well.
Overall: The new changes draw human perception towards the gameboard and away from the enjoyment of the Marvel characters, which is essentially what the game is about. If it was candy crush where the focus is on the board, then this changes are fine, but for a widely known intellectual property like Marvel, our eyes should be drawn to the characters.
The colors make it tough on the eyes to adjust between the Marvel characters and to the gameboard.
Please ask us scientists about things like this. That’s why marketers hire us for visualization and perception changes to their brands. This is why the Tide logo has barely changed through the years, they pay us to consult for visuals.
It’ll take a little getting used to, for sure. But everything does. I won’t pass judgement on it (well, not too much) until I’ve used it a fair amount.
In fact the only thing I will say is that it’s really difficult to adjust to when the board dims on the enemy turn. On the old gameboard, only the background changed, but now the tiles are dimmed as well.
For starters increase the transparency of the character symbols on the tiles. It´s a match-3 puzzle game and the human eye can more easily recognize colours than symbols. It’s even worse for folks that have sensory issues.
At least let us have the option to go back to classic look. You can keep the current layout, just let us toggle the tile colours.
This. It is also difficult for anyone with eye issues or prone to getting headaches - dimming the board and as dark as it goes, is really hard on my eyes. It makes it difficult to play the game on the regular. Stop the tiles dimming, and I think it would solve the issue.
I know we are all sad about the UI, but is anyone else’s after-match rewards that you send to team mates now opening mobile Safari and then presenting a dialog asking if you want to open the link in MPQ? I’m not sure if that’s an OS update or an app update, but it is a new behavior that coincided with this release.
So probably not an intentional nerf per se, I have to imagine it was never intended behavior, but along with this update G4mora’s Deadliest Woman no longer treats charged purple tiles as friendly specials for the purposes of insta-kill. Just thought I’d let y’all know if you lean on it for Challenge nodes and don’t want a surprise.
Awww. That’s disappointing. I had hope for 5 seconds that I could come back and play again with the new UI. But that was one of the major issues which made me sick, so without that change, probably not worth trying. Sigh.
