Best Puzzle

This puzzle is great. I like it because it’s challenging to put together. It’s not expensive, and the hints if needed aren’t vague. The hints are clear enough to guess the shape in the beginning, if you need to use them. However, I’ll admit as you advance the harder it becomes. I had to use all the hints with one puzzle, which was ok. Because after I knew what it was, the challenge still existed to maneuver the shapes to match the figure provided in order to move forward. I’d highly recommend.

Unknown purchase?

I’ve been charged 3.99 and I have no idea for what or why?

★★★★★Nov 7, 2024
Please make more

I absolutely love this game and have had it on my phone for several years. I checked back often to see if any new levels have been added.

Crypt-o-matic

It would be nice if you knew before-hand what you were trying to make, but regardless this game is imaginative and inspires you to be imaginative, with hints if you really need them, and I encourage you to take a $4 leap of faith and enjoy this game for the brain-burner that it “lovingly” is. Well-made and deserving of a small investment. Recommend!
