Mostly great puzzles. A few duds because there is no way to solve other than guess and carry out different scenarios. But those are only a few. My biggest disappointment is that once they’re solved, you cannot “save” the puzzle and work it again. You can’t even LOOK at your solved puzzles. Only choice in the “solved puzzles” link is to select them and discard the ones you selected. I suppose that appeases some players ego that want to delete the ones they got hints on so as to have a “perfect” record. For those of us who don’t really care about the stats, just enjoy solving logic puzzles, it’s pointless. I always thought I would be able to replay puzzles I PAID FOR. But instead, I have paid for packages that had puzzles I already solved included. I get it. They want the gravy train to keep sucking money out of my wallet. But they would get that with NEW puzzles anyway. I’m just a bit soured by the fact they take away my opportunity to solve puzzles I paid for more than once. Having said that, it would be nice if there were packages with just expert/challenging level puzzles. Hard core logic problem solvers bore easily with having to purchase bulk easy puzzles (like 60-80 of them) to the 20-40 challenging ones.
Thanks! Some great comments there. Some explanations: If we wanted a "gravy train" then we wouldn't let people clear puzzles and play them again at all. Clearing a puzzle doesn't just clear the stats for the badges (note, use Zen mode to hide those), but it also puts them back into the queue to play again (and again, and again). This applies to puzzles you've paid for as well. So you CAN play puzzles over and over, without paying more. No gravy train here. Should you be able to see completed puzzles just to look at them again? Maybe. We've argued about this internally many times. Indeed, our Acrostics app *does* allow this. Hmm... pros and cons. Now, re package pricing. We used to break out puzzle sizes & difficulties and charge $2.99 per bundle of similar size (~60 easy or ~30 hard per bundle). To keep things simple, we just combined them - but kept the price the same. I.e. dealers choice. Play just the hard, or just the easy, or ... maybe both (easy on a phone and hard on a tablet perhaps). No extra charge for both. Last but most importantly, you should never (ever ever) have to guess. If you think you need to, get a Smart Hint, and it will examine the board, look at the clues and tell you what the next logical step is. If the hint doesn't make sense, check out the "How to Solve a Logic Puzzles" linked from the Guide. Or, email support@eggheadgames.com with a screenshot and we'll take a look. We OBSESS about accuracy! I'm glad that even with these concerns it was "mostly great puzzles"! Thanks for the thoughtful review and happy puzzling with your next choice! (Perhaps the HARD Penny Dell logic puzzles, but they are a different level entirely…).
