Puzzle Cross Pirates

There needs to be something on the Atlantis puzzles to help players out. Even just listing the minimum number of bombs needed to complete each section would help. The earlier puzzles you can get through reasonably, but you have to save up 400 or so bombs to do one Atlantis section. To even things out a little, I’d suggest doing some of the following: •List the minimum number of bombs needed for each section •Change the cost of colors (1,2,3,...) instead of (1,3,5...) •Don’t have to restart if you run out of bombs in the middle of the puzzle •If you run out of bombs and have to restart, you get back the bombs you used.

Using one star to get your attention. My game often freezes on the ‘Rate Us’ screen. This causes me to have to force close my app and reopen it. Also, for the special events, you require us to use pickaxes for those levels. Unfortunately the number needed to fully complete all the levels is about 700 or so pickaxes. It takes way to long to save that many through the game. So oftentimes I end up not bothering to engage in the event at all. 😞 Yeah, I could drop $40 to get 1200 pickaxes, because that’s the only package that offers enough pickaxes. But I can’t do that every time you have a special event, because I don’t have money to spend like that. I highly doubt many other players do either. Perhaps lower the cost of purchasing packages. Or increase the rate at which a pickaxe drops after ‘random’ puzzles. I know for you, the point is to make money, but you may actually make more money if the cost was lower, because more players could afford it then.

The old version of this game was pretty bad. The new version adds a lot of new features, but doesn’t seem to do anything to fix the core problems with the game, and adds a whole lot of new ones. I say “doesn’t seem” because the game is so unstable I can’t actually be sure. It crashes if I try most of the new features. The only thing I can seem to do is play a random puzzle. Which looks scrunched down compared to the previous version, and has a noticeable lag in responding to any clicks. And it still crashes if I make a mistake or complete the puzzle or try to x-mark a square. But the one puzzle I did complete was ridiculously easy except for one point where I had to make a 50/50 guess; no logic involved—so same as always. For extra fun, try rotating the screen (during startup, at the menu, or in-game): instead of redrawing it stretches the whole thing out to look ridiculous and then stops responding to clicks. Maybe this is for the best. A nonogram game that missed the point of nonograms, where most puzzles can only be solved by guesswork, and where you have to keep coming back to pick up energy before you can even play—it’s probably better that it’s not playable at all. The art style is still nice. Whoever the graphic designer is, it’s a shame they aren’t working with a competent game designer and a competent programmer.

I have been playing for a while and haven’t needed to pay anything which I like. Some times it seems like it takes forever to get chickens and coins but they go a long way when I get enough of them. There is the option to buy what I need but if I am willing to wait I can get it with out paying for it. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because pick axes are not easy to come by but is required for the events. It is also not clear how many is needed for each level of the event and if you have to back out of the event you loose your progress and all the pick axes you have used. I don’t want to pay for them which means I have never been able to complete the events.

I had finished all levels before the upgrade so it was nice to have new levels (buildings) but now it just shows “buy a tier 3 Bomb pack”. I can go no further yet again. I had previously finished all Atlantis levels but it doesn’t show as complete even though I can’t redo the levels to clear them out. Lastly, it would be nice on the special level (food this month) if it would show when the levels are completed. You have to build up on pick axes and you don’t want to waste them on redoing a level you have already completed. Plus you get no prize for finishing the entire pack.
