The App Has Potential

As of right now, there’s only one puzzle likely to test the programming. They have a kickstarter to help add in other puzzles.

They do have real-life variants. While the app doesn’t have the same satisfaction of moving real pieces around and the puzzles don’t look as beautiful, the fact that they’re free and available worldwide is more than makes up for it.

The only issues I have right now are some quality of life issues:
-The summary doesn’t seem to work. But that will be fixed soon since the game’s in an early build.
-Focus mode is limited in how you handle it. Rotating it 90 degrees with two fingers should be essential. A zoom in feature by double tapping may not seem important now, but it will on the more complex puzzles.
-It’s weird there’s way to skip the introduction and exit cutscenes.

While the app is small right now, it already shows what features are going to be added. The app has lots of potential to shine. I wish the app my best of luck!

Thank you, for these returns, this is the goal of a beta version, we take it into account and will improve it! Update scheduled at the end of May! We will make this option available in the settings!

Potentially excellent, but not there yet

The puzzles are potentially fun and challenging, but the app will need some work first.

My main complaint is that it is far too easy to unintentionally rotate the puzzle while trying to manipulate a part of the puzzle. Rotation needs to be changed to require two or more fingers so that the puzzle will remain in position while the user is trying to solve it.

More puzzles!

This game only had 4 or 5 puzzles. Should have at least 30 to charge money. What a rip off. I actually liked those few cube puzzles though.
