  • gameplay
    84 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game is praised for its engaging cooperative mechanics and charming art style, offering a variety of puzzle types that keep players challenged. However, some users express frustration with the paywall for AI-generated puzzles and note that the core gameplay can become repetitive over time, lacking depth and variation in subsequent playthroughs. Despite these issues, the mechanics are generally well-received, with responsive controls and satisfying interactions, making it a fun experience, especially in multiplayer settings.

    • “The controls are responsive, and the interface is designed to streamline the puzzle-solving process, allowing players to focus on the challenges rather than struggling with complex mechanics.”
    • “Once players have completed the puzzles, there is little incentive to return, as the core gameplay does not offer much variation in subsequent playthroughs.”
    • “This lack of depth in puzzle variety can make the gameplay feel less dynamic and more predictable as players progress through the game.”
    • “Game and gameplay are bland and boringly repetitive: pieces are randomly rotated and the sorting mechanism tends to get really weird.”
  • graphics
    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the charming and whimsical art style that enhances the cooperative gameplay experience, while others criticize the heavy 3D graphics that hinder performance on lower-end machines. Many users report issues with frame rates even at the lowest settings, making it difficult for casual players to enjoy the game. Overall, while the visuals are described as vibrant and appealing, they may not be accessible for all players.

    • “My computer cannot even handle the lowest graphic quality of Dark Souls 3.”
    • “I'm playing this puzzle game with the lowest graphic quality as well; I can't see the shape of those pieces, it's like building in Minecraft.”
  • monetization
    50 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of this game has been widely criticized for being overly aggressive and unclear, with numerous in-game purchases and subscription options that detract from the overall experience. Players feel misled by its free-to-play advertising, as they encounter frequent microtransactions and high costs for additional content, leading many to label it a "cash grab." A shift to a one-time purchase model is suggested as a potential improvement to enhance player interest and satisfaction.

    • “I had fun playing the free puzzles, but the monetization in this game is ridiculously expensive.”
    • “In either case, I can assure you, changing the monetization system to a one-time purchase (either just for buying the game, or unlocking all the features) will increase both the profit and the interest others have in your game.”
    • “The monetization of this game makes zero sense and just ruins the game's overall experience.”
    • “Advertises itself as a free game, but is actually riddled with microtransactions and subscription-based purchase options.”
    • “As it stands right now, this game is just a cash grab, so it's thumbs down from me.”

  • stability
    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with players frequently encountering bugs, glitches, and performance problems that hinder gameplay, especially in multiplayer modes. While some appreciate the game as a free offering, the prevalence of technical difficulties, such as visual glitches and connection issues, detracts from the overall experience. Many users express frustration over the game's instability, suggesting that it would benefit from a more polished release.

    • “It's a good idea, but between paywalls and glitches, it's hard to get excited about.”
    • “Too buggy for us to even complete one easy puzzle.”
    • “It has become the new norm to buy a freshly released game and find it riddled with bugs, glitches, and connection issues.”
  • replayability
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews highlight a mixed perspective on replayability; while some players find the game infinitely replayable and enjoyable, especially in co-op mode, others criticize it for limited replay value due to a lack of depth in puzzle variety and inconsistent difficulty. The ability to scale puzzles up to 2000 pieces offers some replay potential, but technical issues and a cap on custom images may detract from the overall experience.

    • “The puzzle mechanics are realistic, and there is much replayability with the free puzzles as you can scale them up to 2000 pieces.”

  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews reflect a mixed perception of the game's story, with some players noting a lack of narrative depth, comparing it to games like "Temple Run" where story is not a focus. Others mention that the main story can be completed in a few hours, while a few express enjoyment of the whimsical elements present in the game. Overall, the story aspect appears to be minimal or non-essential for many players.

    • “Epic story.”
    • “Like playing 'Temple Runners' for the story.”
    • “Few hours (10 - 20 hours) if you focus on the main story.”

  • optimization
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization is generally praised, with many players noting that it runs smoothly even on low-end hardware.

    • “Even though the game and co-op runs smoothly.”

    • “Can't be for performance reasons these days...”
  • grinding
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while it can mimic the satisfaction of solving real-life puzzles, the uneven difficulty and limitations in mechanics—such as the inability to easily rotate pieces—can lead to frustration and tedium. Despite this, some appreciate it as a low-pressure way to pass time between other games or during updates. Overall, the grinding can feel both tedious and intense, impacting the enjoyment of the puzzle-solving experience.

    • “This uneven difficulty curve can affect the overall experience, making some segments feel tedious or frustrating.”
    • “Though making jigsaw puzzles is mostly the same boring stuff, the inability to rotate with another button or swiping the mouse makes the rotating of pieces (which only go one way) very tedious and annoying quickly.”
    • “Great way to reset between other games or while waiting for those lengthy game updates that keep coming to a grinding halt.”
