ALOL: Nostalgia Haven Puzzle

UPDATE Dec 6 2019: hi, we want to announce that based on your feedback, we have revised the subscription offer. In the latest version 2.10, the Premium plan will both remove ads and give you infinite energy! We've also added a one-time payment option for you in case it's preferred over subscription. Right now it's being offered at a limited time discount of 40%! We hope these updates will make ALOL a better game and we hope you will continue enjoying it. Thanks again!

Edit** You're the beeesssttt! Thank you :) Edit* Thanks for editing your review :) Well, the movie analogy is much better yes. But consider the energy as the ticket for one play session, or one movie session if you like. After the session is over, you can't use the old ticket to see the next session can you? Furthermore, the energy will recover automatically over time (currently 1 energy credit per 5 minutes), so you can actually play without having to pay real money. And as mentioned there're numerous way to earn coins and exchange for energy, without using real money. That said, we thank you for your feedback and will definitely keep a keen eye on this matter :) Tip #8, well, is actually very simple, but a little hard to concisely explain. Say we have a rectangle like below A2 A7 E2 E7 if we know A7 != A2 (A7 is different from A2), A2 != E2 and E2 != E7 then it’s obvious that A7 != E7. It’s actually that simple! Though this tip on its own looks obvious and useless, it helps form an easily recognizable pattern from which we can deduce the relationships between certain squares on the board. Especially when combined with Tip #6, it creates a powerful tools that we find very useful when solving harder puzzles. And yes, it applies to any 4 squares that form a rectangle regardless of size. Hope this clarifies things. And we would very much appreciate it if you could update the rating to 5* :) Happy playing! _____ Hi, thank you for playing ALOL and for your feedback! We believe the energy requirement for resuming a level does make sense. Just like you went to gym every day ("resumed" the gym) you would burn some calories :) That said, if you are playing a level and suspend the app (e.g. lock the phone), you should still be in the level when you open the game again, provided that the app hasn't been suspended LONG ENOUGH that iOS may kill it in the background. In such case you would need to pay energy to resume. Hope this clarifies the issue. We seek for your understanding and would appreciate it if you could update the rating to 5*.

Hi, thank you for playing ALOL and for your feedback! We believe you were mentioning the mistake highlight system (in which the erroneous squares are darken). You're right that it is prominent, however we believe it is a necessary evil, because as you know in this game the errors can be propagated, and the more they propagate the harder it is to fix them. Therefore it's better to fix an error as soon as possible. Hope this clarifies it. Thanks again and we hope you will continue enjoying the game!

Hi, thank you so much for playing ALOL and for your 5* :) To answer your question: in the in-game screen, just below the character’s head to the left there’s a button with a yellow bag icon. Just click it to open the Tiles shop and select the skin you like. Hope this helps :)

Hi, thank you for playing our game and for your feedback! Actually, we have a built-in digital stylus for you! In the in-game screen there’s pen-icon button at the bottom, just click it to activate the stylus/pen mode which will make input easier on bigger boards. As for ads, they are needed to keep the game free to play and we’d appreciate your understanding. There’s an option to remove ads for a reasonable price, which you can find in the Options panel (gear-icon button in the home screen). Thanks again!
