I first started playing this a while back but just more recently got into the game again. I have noticed some very helpful changes and I’m glad to see the developers are constantly working on it but my one critique is that is some levels it’s oddly specific like in lvl 116 it’s a tree that has to grow and it needs water sun and fertilizer. That one for me was easy to get the water and sun but the fertilizer was tricky. First I wrote dirt X next soil X then I was like is it photosynthesis?, chlorophyll? But this game would be relatively easy right. So I went and watched the ad and the clue was sun. Understanding that sometimes the first clue isn’t as helpful I watched another ad. The clue was water. OK I watch the third ad and the game quits out. This is probably my phones fault not the game but it still adds to my frustration as I now have to watch the ad over again to get my clue. Finally I get it and it says fertilizer. This annoys me because I feel like it should have accepted any version of soul dirt fertilizer or other. I understand that the developers try there best but it can be frustrating at times.

I’ve beat the game and I’m waiting for more levels and I do like it(I guess that’s obvious or I wouldn’t have played the whole thing) but for starters I think theirs too many ads. Every time I’ve opened the app and there’s an ad before I even tap on anything, it’s absolutely infuriating and I’ve almost deleted it just because of that. I could understand ads every few levels(NOT STAGES) and one for the hints but not in between EVERY OTHER STAGE. Aside from ads, the few complaints I have could be solved easily. Some hints are way too vague or aren’t helpful in the slightest, and some of the puzzles where you have to put something in a specific place are too sensitive. I would make the zone that says it’s in the correct spot a little bigger. Oh and there’s a few puzzles that are just way out of the normal game mechanics like only a few puzzles had the solution or part of it be that you shake your device or position it in a certain way. I think it feels out of place when 99% of it is just tapping or swiping, I feel like there should be more of those or none at all but that’s just my opinion. Other than that, I think it’s a really solid game and was a little upset that there wasn’t any monthly levels this time since I have no more to do lol.

My fist time playing a game of this style was “The Impossible Quiz” quite some time ago on a flash site (which I believe may be available now on the App Store). I also have played similar games more recently from the App Store and in my personal opinion, this is the worst one I’ve played. The puzzles just seem as though not a lot of thought went into them and it was more about trying to recreate their version of this sort of game and cash in. I say this cause some of the tricks and outside the box thinking that made the other games great are not very clever this go around and seem forced. For example, I believe it was question 8 or 9 where they ask which glass contained more water and you can see that displacement of water makes the glass with the paper clip in it the correct answer, yet you have to first take all the items out of each glass so that you can see what you already knew. Why I’m giving it three stars is while I do think the game feels a bit rushed, with a lack of creativity, if you’ve never played a game like this before then it will feel more unique, creative and perhaps a good way to get your foot in the door. Also I believe for kids this version may be a much better fit. It does the job well enough but lacks the polish, creativity and innovation to be worth too much of your time.

The levels are fun but not too easy. You do see a repetitive pattern as to how to arrive at a solution, but for the most part the levels make you think. For those of us with limited patience, there are hints & skip buttons. A bi problem for me is that sometimes the game will not recognize your attempt to enlarge an item or move an item to solve the puzzle. Then you use the hint button & it tells you to do the same thing you have been trying to do, it’s so annoying, I just use the skip button. Developers, please fix this!! I shouldn’t have to attempt the same move several times to get the game to respond. There are ads, but they are relatively short, though some show you the ad, then try to get you to play. Those ads are longer & pretty annoying. Also developers, repeating the same ad 25 times doesn’t make me want an app more. But overall, this is a good game, better than most brain games.
