About this game

FOR THE BEARD!

Starbeard is a roguelike romp that turns match 3 puzzles on their head, combining tactical tussles and community developed content, all with characters that’ll leave you starry eyed.

In this constellation matching, bug crunching adventure, players will explore beautiful levels and challenge beastly bosses.

The evil Gnomad wants to destroy the environment with his insatiable gluttony, whilst his pansy of a brother is out to get filthy rich. Despite this, players will spread gardens throughout the Galaxy with the colourful and crazy powers of the Starbeard Gnomes, and can also create a gnome of their own design!

FEATURES

+ The World's Greatest: Complete 15 achievements, place in the global leaderboards and rank in the daily challenge!
+ Rank up your Gnome by best increasing difficulty levels and winning the coveted Beard Badges!
+ Art from the Heart: A unique, vibrant and charming art style
+ Know your Gnome: 12 different playable characters, each with special powers
+ Match 3 unlike ever before : Unique battle system combining tactical and RPG elements
+ Bring a green thumb: Tons of challenging levels to test even the most seasoned Gnome
+ A strong in-built community: Players create their own designs for the game and we integrate the best!
+ The Brits are coming! The game is laced with British humour and references that we can all raise a cuppa to!
+ Portrait orientation for casual one-handed gameplay
+ No ads, timers, or other freemium shenanigans

I like the concept of this game a lot and when the board's RNG let's me really play with the game systems, levels can be very satisfying. However I felt the shortcomings of the game prevented me from enjoying it, leaving me feeling somewhat frustrated. Satisfying combos happen by accident, bugs will shift and destroy blocks/themselves randomly, the mystery event tiles feel unimportant, game play reels rigid. Most turns feel like you can't do enough to be impactful, leaving you feeling frustrated

I don't usually review games/apps, but this one was recommended by some tech website about a month ago, and I bought it on a whim right before a 4 hour flight. Best few dollars I've ever spent on a game. Its far more challenging and interesting than other similar games of the surgery viriety. Instead of just swapping tiles, you need to line them up from the bottom manipulating them with your character and defeating enemies along the way. No ads or in app purchases required. Keep it up Devs! đź‘Ť

I initially got this because the developers made it free right when the pandemic hit. I'm so glad I tried it; it really is a delightful, challenging game, with a play mechanic that's a nice twist on the classic Match-3. I have wiled away hours upon hours squashing bugs, in order to achieve the Starbeard rank for all my characters. But, now that I've done that - now what? I hope there are new challenges coming soon.

Hiya Jenn, thanks so much! We are working on a couple of updates but we have been caught out because of lockdown meaning it's taken longer than we had hoped (and there's only 3 of us so it's even tougher!). We also are working on another game in the same universe as the Starbeard gnomes! I hope we can bring you some more challenges soon. - JGG team
