Woodoku - Wood Block Puzzles 12+

Great game but…

Hello, first of all this game is fun,challenging, and great to play when you are bored. Second I love playing it because whenever I feel bored or just nothing really to do I play this it’s fun because it gets challenging and I love challenging so that’s why I play it. However there is just a couple problems, it drives me crazy when I’m playing and then this add just pops up on my screen so can you only make it so it is just an add after each level because it messes me up when that happens, second of all whenever I’m playing I have sound but then a couple minutes later the sound goes away so I have to clear my tab then open it back up again to get the sound back, if you are like me and you need to hear the music or sound then this would make you kind of annoyed, I’m not sure if it is just my device or if it is others but please fix! Other than that it’s and amazing game and I think you should just download it! You will make a mistake if you don’t! Thank you for taking your time to read this🍄☺️

I love the game but…

Recently it’s been extremely laggy, which unfortunately causes me to “accidentally” place tiles where I never meant to place them. I have a newer phone and nothing else on my phone lags (and this game didn’t use to, either!) so I’m leaving a 3-star review in the hopes the developers will fix whatever issue is causing the game to lag. In effect, I try to pick up a tile and it doesn’t move, so I lift my thumb off the screen, and because of the lag, the tile finally DOES move—and gets plopped somewhere on the board randomly. Very annoying!

Other than that, I really like this game. I notice a couple of reviewers saying the game seems rigged against them, providing the wrong tiles. Personally, I feel that it forces you to think about your strategy by not giving you obviously easy-fit tiles as you progress to a higher score. I like that and it makes me feel like my brain is getting a good workout. I was initially quite frustrated with it for that same reason but noticed that as I played more, I could see that the strategy isn’t really to fit all the tiles neatly together, but to almost do the opposite: take as many wins as you can, even if the board looks a little messy. I feel like in that respect, it’s a really good strategy game that is a rare find amongst most games which are more about luck or very surface-level strategy!

Ads Ads and s’more Ads

First and foremost, this game disappointingly has nothing to do with sodoku other than the board. It’s just a new take on Tetris. Also, it is clear that this game solely exists to generate ads. The owners make their money off of those ads and micro purchases. That means they must saturate the user with enough ads to get other companies interested in advertising on their product, but what that really means is the game will intentionally scuttle your progress in order to keep their average advertisement runs on the level. They only show you the next three pieces and then conveniently you get impossible combinations very quickly and lose: now you get an add. Play it again and they provide you with two or three possible moves before there are no more possible. Rinse and repeat until they very easily provide you with the exact combinations you need so you can advance.

In the end it takes almost no skill to win or lose. It’s the random pieces generated by the application which are in line with them forcing you back to the ads and curbing your progress. Very disappointing overall.

Bit of advice: force close the app whenever you win or lose to skip the ad. Start the app back up and you’ll be where you left off in much shorter time or even better, don’t install this game disguised as tracking software.
