Woodoku - Wood Block Puzzles 12+

I’ve been playing this since December last year to now continuing, and even though it has its ads it has fun themes, great strategies for each puzzle, and fun badges to earn, as well as for fun daily challenges to earn gems. This is a puzzle game I highly recommend because it hasn’t ever asked me for money nor has it ever made me bored. Here are more examples of why I suggest this from my experience playing this for almost a year now. First of all, The ads are only 5-30 seconds long. That’s honestly not bad in my opinion or experience because I’ve seen games have ads have 1 minute ads or even a 2 minute ads before. But thankfully this game has blessed me as a player with short ads that have never given anything bad to my phone such as a virus or such. Secondly, the game is free. It’s never asked me for money to get rid of ads, to help with hints, or anything in that category. This game makes me feel interested and ready for a challenge every day I play. These are the main examples of why I suggest this to anyone who plays puzzles. Developers, if you see this I congratulate you because as a player who has Autism you have pleased me with a great game that has great challenges! I’d like to hear from you soon. So yes this is a game I highly recommend!

This is a really engaging game, fun to play, challenging and rewarding. I also really like the simple, clean design and aesthetic. It’s quite attractive. Hence the four star rating. However, most annoyingly, there is no option to remove the ads from the game. I’d be more than willing to pay a fee for the game, whether one time or monthly, to avoid the obnoxious ads. Another flaw is it’s a bit annoying that the groups of three block shapes provided at a time do not appear to be randomized, but instead seem to have an algorithm to provide block shapes that specifically DON’T fit in open blocks needed to complete squares and lines. The lack of randomization in block shape provided is also apparent in that, having played this game almost daily for months, not once has a diagonal block shape come up early in the game, and not once have I gotten a single block later in the game. This makes the single block completely irrelevant as it’s never needed at the beginning of the game. Why include a meaningless shape? Finally, although I like the sub-games that make up the journeys, the journeys are much too long for the timeframe a player is provided for completion, and once the player has played a few journeys, they just get repetitive, and I find it boring to have to complete the same easy rounds over and over again to get to the more challenging rounds. Despite all these flaws, I do still enjoy the game and have recommended it to other folks.

I love this game. Initially, I was going to write that I had zero complaints until I read some other reviews and I agree with what someone else mentioned: that it would be nice to know where I stand. Is my score good or bad? I would not mind if there was just a chart where I could judge myself but better yet, would be knowing where I compare to others. And better yet it would be nice to know where I compare to others and a breakdown of age groups (or some other breakdown: education level? Etc.) I did also like the idea of being able to collect the tokens and trade them in for something. As for the pieces not being random as some say, I have not run into that issue, they appear random to me. And what incentive for the developer is it to not have random pieces? I do not see any reason. Overall, it is an addictive game and I really enjoy playing. The ads are short so they really are not a hassle. Thank you!
