Buddy Gator Tile 4+

Cute game!

I follow the artist of buddy gator on IG and when I saw they had released a game, I had to try it out. There are ads, but they don’t bombard you after every level the way other apps do, which is a big plus for continuing to play.

The game has a Mahjong feel to it, but in Buddy Gator you can match any tiles that are lit up instead of being restricted by neighboring tiles.

So far I think the game is very cute and you understand right away that you are supposed to match the pictures.

A few things I think could be improved, is providing either a small tutorial or letting the players know when “Game Over” is coming. I’ve played 20 levels and found that if the matching bar at the bottom fills up, it’s “Game Over”. Or if the star bar at the top empties it will be “Game Over”.

But I do like that when you fail the level you have the option to continue by either watching a 30 sec video or paying 100 coins to continue.

As you progress through the game you get more characters on the board. And it gets a little harder to match the tiles. Which I enjoy; having a little challenge is good.

Excellent but a few bugs in game design

Fun game, challenging in the later stages too. Can’t wait for more levels. My only complaint is the treasure points. If you go back to play earlier levels and don’t get the full 3 stars you previously warned, they subtract from your total. Seems terribly odd. I let my niece play and now I have negative 13 points. Game design is faulty in that sense. Also wish there wasn’t a delay in the end screen buttons popping up. Kind of annoying.

Thanks for your support, there is new released solve this problem, but you have to play back those lost star levels

Cute but times out too fast

This is a good pattern recognition game and very cute but once you get into the 20+ levels, it starts timing out so that you can’t finish levels. There are no timers or any way to tell when this is going to happen. Four stars for concept and cuteness and because I like the comic artist, but this clearly needs a little more work. I could have solved some of the levels and advanced if it didn’t continue timing out faster the further I got.
