16 Squares - Puzzle Game 4+

Amazing truly. I mean I can just sit on the throne and play this game for hours on hours, my kids try and get in there to use it, but I'm so addicted I make them go outside, it just takes the edge off the heart wrenching cycle of day to day life, when you just feel like you're going nowhere and you wasted all your money on your degree that got you nowhere in life except writing reviews in a Starbucks coffee shop that no one will read, this game will take your mind right off that.

This is a fun, challenging game good for working your brain and killing some time. However, the instructions for how to play are sorely lacking. For instance, you will get "0" tiles occasionally that do not combine with any other tile. I don't know what to do with these or if something that I do in the game causes me to get more or less of them or if it's just random. The instructions don't even mention the "0" tiles. Also, you'll occasionally get an directional arrow tile that pushes everything in its path off the board. Again, the instructions don't elaborate as to whether I should use those directional arrow tiles on larger or smaller values for the most points or if I should use them on the "0" tiles. Lastly, there are coins and a lighting bolt symbol during gameplay that I have absolutely no idea what to do with. Good game, but we need more instructions!

This game is a lot of fun and addicting as others have stated. The 0's are not enjoyable. I know their purpose is to add challenge to the game, but they are just simply too random. I wouldn't mind them as much if they only kicked in once you got a higher score, but I've seen them as early as 20 moves into the game.

The real reduction in rating comes from battery life. This game is an unbelievable drain on the battery. I don't remember the last app I used that drains the battery faster than this one does. I downloaded and played this game at the end of the day before I went to bed, and it had accounted for 58% of my battery usage in a matter of playing it for about 20 mins. Be prepared to keep a charging cord close by if you plan to play this game for any length of time on the go.
