Patterned is a unique puzzle game that immerses you in the beauty and joy of seamless, repeating patterns. Each pattern begins as a sketch and you must use visual clues to reassemble its scrambled pieces. Piece by piece, each pattern begins to come alive in increasing amounts of color and structure. When the final piece is placed, the pattern fills the screen in full color. Inspired by jigsaw puzzles, but with a unique twist… In Patterned, your objective is to rebuild a scrambled pattern tile that is seamlessly repeating across the screen. As you place pieces you’ll quickly discover that the puzzle’s edges are repeated on the other side. Use these visual clues to help solve each puzzle! Beautiful music… Relax, zone out and play at your own pace as a peaceful music soundtrack accompanies gameplay. Patterned features well over 6 hours of music in both piano and ambient styles, by over 10 well-known musicial composers including Dear Gravity, Be Still the Earth, Antarctic Wastelands and many more. Inspired by design from around the world… Patterned features thousands of beautiful, handcrafted patterns created by dozens of the best pattern designers from around the world. Made for adults and kids alike… From flowers to watercolor paintings, or from dinosaurs to kung fu sushi, Patterned is full of fun designs made for absolutely everyone! Real-time multiplayer... Assemble patterns with anyone else, from anywhere in the world, in real time! Wallpapers galore... With each pattern that you solve, you can download a beautiful wallpaper to your device! Available for iOS and macOS only. Take your time… Easily start a puzzle on a device and finish it later. Even begin on one device and continue on a different device! Constantly updated... We are obsessed with not only keeping our game running smoothly, but constantly adding new patterns and regularly adding new features!

Amazing App, With One Big Problem

Edit: The developers got back to me within two days and helped me fix it completely! I am ridiculously hopeless when it comes to anything techy, but now everything is working properly! I love this app!I love this app! It is so beautiful and calming and I love how all the puzzles are designed by people from all around the world! But I’ve now had it for about a week, and something weird is happening. From the moment I got the app, it has been telling me, every single time I open the app, that my device is not connected to the internet, when I am COMPLETELY sure that it is, and all my other apps work fine. It was still working and wasn’t causing a problem, so I ignored it and kept on playing this wonderful game. Until two days ago, when I opened it and it said the same thing as usual. I thought nothing of it, but then I went to select a new puzzle, and it said that I can only play downloaded puzzles because my device is not connected to the internet. I now only have access to nine of the amazing puzzles, and can’t get it to connect to the internet. I really want to play the other puzzles, but I can’t figure out how to fix it! I even deleted the app and downloaded it again, but the problem is still there. And I’ve checked my internet, and it’s fine! I just really want to play more, but I’m running out of available puzzles!

Pandemic lifesaver:) This app offers variety and two levels so you can relax or be challenged. The gentle music encourages you as you start...just a few notes for each right piece and then continuously as your puzzle gets going. I really like the understated crescendo that happens as you finish the puzzle and celebrate.It is really hard with the repeating ‘wallpaper’ pattern, but that’s what makes it good. You have to focus on very small patterns within the pattern to find each piece’s place. You start with a grayed- out design that blooms into color as you go, or, if that level, becomes stressful just switch to color in the beginning. There are thousands of different puzzles to fit all the many moods of quarantine.There are only two small technical issues I had, but they may also be user error;) When I ‘grab’ a piece to search, my finger covers up the smaller ones so it is hard to maneuver. Sometimes, if I get it just right, I can guide the piece without having my finger right on top of it. My other issue was that when the puzzle is farther along, dragging a piece onto the playing board highlights identical shapes which can give its position away.So, all in all, love it! Really hope we can purchase it at some point instead of having to subscribe to Apple Arcade.

I can’t decide if this game is stressful or not. Really the only thing “bad” that happens if you go too slow is that the music pauses for a bit, but if you go faster and drop a piece into the wrong place it turns red! It’s wrong! Seriously, these are not Big Bad Things. But they still stress me out somewhat. Otherwise the game is beautiful and relaxing and I turn to it several times a day, and have even made wallpaper from some of the finished pieces. My biggest qualm — and I almost took away one star but I didn’t — is with a few certain puzzles where a piece can exactly fit in two different places, (because of the way that particular picture pattern was built, there are no subtle differences in the picture between the two spots), except one placement is arbitrarily WRONG and then I don’t earn a perfect achievement through I-don’t-know -what-fault of my own. Those should be caught before they’re published.

Lovely game, made for righties

I love this game! It’s extremely relaxing, and I think the best part is getting to use each newly solved puzzle as my new background or lock screen on my iPad. It’s ridiculously satisfying to watch the puzzle slowly transition from a black and white sketch to a full color image, and the sketch aspect also adds a degree of difficulty as well. I love being able to look up more puzzles by the same artists, or go randomly.One thing that bothered me was that there is no setting to change the pieces to the left side of the screen. I still have a tendency to use my left hand, and inevitably end up covering pieces with my arm. It would be great if I could choose lefty settings that would make the pieces appear on the right, and cause the pieces to “scoot” to the right when I pick them up. Also, I think it could be made easier to find puzzles you’re working on. I know you can organize all the puzzles into categories, including progress, but I don’t typically work on lots of puzzles at once. It would be easier to just have one “in progress” section where I could store puzzles.
