Infinity Loop: Relaxing Puzzle 4+

I really enjoy playing this!

All I ask is that you remove the annoying headphones icon that pops up every time I start the app, and make it so that it remembers my setting when I turn the sound FX and music off. I don't like the sound effect when turning the tiles, and I don't want to listen to the ambient music as nice as it is. The fact that I have to sit thru the headphones splash screen and manually turn the sound off everytime is the only annoying part of an otherwise fantastic game.

Infinity Loop is part Tetris, part Sudoku. The pieces you’re rotating only come in a handful of varieties, and much of learning the game comes in the form of learning how the different pieces interact, like Tetris. But like Sudoku, once you’ve gotten through the first two dozen (excellently designed to teach you the basics) levels, the game becomes about spotting and following the logical threads. You start at the corners and set about cleaning things up according to how each piece *must* go until you’ve closed the loops.

The result is a somewhat fast and loose Zen experience. Ads are somewhat intrusive on the free experience, but the ad removal is fairly cheap and the game is honestly worth a couple bucks. When it clicks, its goal is to put you in a flow state, and it achieves this goal remarkably well through a novel marriage of reasonably familiar flow state patterns for puzzle enthusiasts. I am impressed by the game’s simplicity and sheer dedication to function. Highly recommend if it’s caught your eye.

and this game was my go-to for warding off anxiety attacks, and really helped to calm me down in the wake of attacks. I can’t remember if there were ads before, but if there were they were unobtrusive and occasional. Now ads pop up suddenly, and often will startle me by blaring music even when my phone is on mute. Waiting for an ad to allow me to click through, especially video ads, ramp me up all over again. I actually got startled back into an attack the first time this happened. Ads are important for game revenue but surely you could screen them for glitches like the volume override, and maybe choose ads that are quieter with less visual stimulus. I would pay the ad removal fee except that I can’t. I’m a student and I don’t have money to spare for in-app purchases. Please, I love this game and I miss the times when I could play it without fear. Now, even attempting to play it can cause me anxiety, never sure what ads will pop up when I click to the next level.

Gameplay itself is fabulous, intuitive, minimalist, and beautiful. Very peaceful. Makes the ads all the more jarring.
