Puzzling Places 4+

Fabulous use of 3-dimensionality

I have always liked puzzle apps, but this one is so much better! Little touches like the sounds made as pieces click into place, the individualized sound tracks, and the fireworks display on finishing a puzzle are just icing on the cake. The amount of detail is amazing in these as well. The objects themselves are so intriguing that zipping online to find out more about them is hard to resist. My single complaint is that there aren’t more packages available to download. I have been forced into starting them over and over again to play. Keep up the wonderful work, but do provide more packages!

Great idea and good execution. Controls can be finicky.

Awesome app. It would be cool to read a blog explaining how you get the model and cut it into pieces :) Suggestions: right now some taps are treated as both picking up a piece from the window and rotating the incomplete model. So if you pick a piece and drag to place it, the model starts spinning very fast. This is very noticeable on the 200 piece model. Very disorienting. Please fix :). Also, consider adding some inertia to the model, right now it feels like the model and an individual piece weigh the same — it’s too easy to accidentally spin the model and it breaks the illusion a bit. Finally, the space orientation can get out of wack — you double click on the crown and you see the side or the back view of the window with pieces (no background) and no home button, can you make sure the window and the button always faces the viewer after the space alignment?

Most polished title for Vision Pro on Day 1

I’ve been trying out apps and games on the Vision Pro for the last 24 hours. This little game is, by far, the most polished experience I’ve seen — and I’m saying that as someone who released two Vision Pro apps himself, so I know what a feat that is. It’s easy to control, relaxing, full of beautiful buildings, with a minimal, functional UI — and it’s actually fun! But what’s astounding is all the little touches: animations, soundscapes, how everything just quietly clicks into place.
