  • gameplay
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "mazaica" is characterized by its simple yet challenging puzzle mechanics, which are easy to learn but difficult to master, providing a satisfying balance of relaxation and challenge. While the hint button can be helpful, it may detract from the overall experience for some players. The developer's responsiveness to feedback, including the removal of a previously criticized coin mechanic, enhances the game's appeal, making it a worthwhile choice for puzzle enthusiasts.

    • “Firstly, the puzzle mechanic is great.”
    • “"Mazaica" by Hamster on Coke Games is a delightful puzzle game that offers a unique experience through its simple yet challenging gameplay and stunning visual design.”
    • “The gameplay is easy to grasp but difficult to master, providing a perfect balance of relaxation and challenge.”
    • “You can help yourself to automatically unlock a line thanks to a hint button every minute, which is often very useful or even essential to advance in the levels, but which spoils the gameplay a little.”
    • “There's nothing special to it, only having a few mechanics, but it's pretty cheap, so I'd say it's worth it if you like stuff like this.”
    • “I previously gave this a negative review, primarily because of the coin mechanic that made sense for the game on mobile but not on PC.”
  • replayability
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers significant replayability due to its procedurally generated levels and a large variety of puzzles across different difficulty settings, providing players with over ten hours of gameplay. However, some reviewers noted that while the random generation enhances replayability, it may lack the depth and interest of handcrafted puzzles, with only a few layouts standing out. Overall, the combination of numerous levels and procedural generation contributes to a robust replay value.

    • “The large quantity of replayable levels in different difficulty levels offers more than ten hours of play.”
    • “That has of course a big advantage, namely replayability - on the other hand, randomly generated puzzles are rarely as interesting as handcrafted ones, and in Mazaica, there were only about 8-10 that really took my fancy.”
    • “112 puzzle layouts, the majority are randomly generated, offering replayability.”
    • “Most of the levels are generated procedurally, offering a certain replayability.”

  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music and sound design in the game create a calming, zen-like atmosphere, enhanced by pleasant sound effects and soothing background music that complements the gameplay.

    • “The sound design features extremely pleasant sound effects and background music.”

    • “If you liked the soothing atmosphere and bright colors, I recommend [i][url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/357300/snakebird/]Snakebird[/url][/i], a similarly colorful line-guiding logic puzzle game where the lines are alive with personality and seek to consume all fruit while navigating a grid-based environment.”
    • “There's a radiating zen-like atmosphere while playing, reinforced by the background visuals, the aura-sounding background music, the act of drawing lines from numbered nodes with those soft popping sounds, and no warning or wrong move sound effects; it just feels so good and relaxing.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of Mazaica leaves players questioning its depth and coherence, with some suggesting that the game's lack of polish may indicate time constraints faced by the developers. Overall, the narrative feels underdeveloped compared to other titles from the same studio.

    • “The whole game wasn't quite as polished as hocg's other offerings; I wonder what's the full story with Mazaica. Was the developer short on time?”
    • “The narrative felt disjointed and lacked depth, making it hard to connect with the characters.”
    • “I found the plot to be predictable and uninspired, which really detracted from the overall experience.”
