Please, Don't Touch Anything 9+

When I get overly angry or upset I tend to push my arm into my teeth, or “bite” myself, and after what felt like 500 failed attempts at the city boom mini game, I was left with a red arm and sore head. The button isn’t big enough or responsive enough, when trying to click the button you can spam, making the game almost impossible to beat on iOS during the end. This means that you can’t even finish all the endings, because you need the 24 to get the last one, and without city boom you can solve another one, but other then that mini game, the game is great and the puzzles are really tricky.

I've played my share of puzzle games. PDTA is unreal as puzzlers go. This is a highly complex puzzle-box style game, with lots of outcomes and an extraordinarily detailed set of secondary puzzles ranging from pattern problems to orientation to math...and some that just plain defy explanation. As complicated as it is, it can be frustrating, but there are answers, and some of the animations are hilarious (but all are creative). People with a short attention span or who are easily frustrated may not enjoy this one, but for puzzle fans, it's quite good. Clues are a little thin on the ground, so here's one non-spoiling tip: don't think you can only tap things once. That's enough to get you started on hours of puzzling. A well-earned A to this pixelicious puzzler app!

I’m rating it five stars because I’ve played this game over and over again through the years on multiple platforms and devices. I still love to come back and replay it, obviously. The reason I redownloaded it this time, though, was to complete my achievements in Game Center, but none of them are registering that I’ve gotten them. I would hate to leave a poor review for something that may or may not be something the developer could fix, but just can’t seem to find a solution to the problem.
