Tricky Challenge 3-New Chapter

ask user to change the rating

I’ve been playing this game for a while and some of these levels are impossible to do without getting hints (which you have to watch ads to get coins to do). Take level 43 for example (yeah i play a lot 😅) you have four dogs and it says “find the male dog”, there’s a trunk and a collar, I realize male dogs pee different from female dogs so I drag each dog to the trunk, nothing happens, so I get a hint and it says “male dogs urinate different from female dogs” so I try again, nothing, it’s only when I get the second hint telling me exactly what to do that it finally works. Not to mention some levels are impossible for you to know what to do without getting the hint, quite a few levels are like that.

Remember the days of simple logic problems like ‘he stood on a block of ice and it melted.’ or ‘you don’t bury survivors.’? Take that mentality, make the answers almost entirely impossible to foresee or learn from, and that’s the game. Because there is such little set up to the obstacle they present, there’s no way to understand the tactics that are available to you. You simply take your time pressing or rubbing random parts of the screen, finally get frustrated, then ask for a hint. But wait a minute! Once you’ve decided to use some of the little coins you have (or watched an ad when you’ve run out of them), the FIRST hint is insultingly insufficient. One of the hints I got for a ‘puzzle’ was to ‘Think of different options.’ Then the SECOND hint tells you exactly how to finish. This game is everything that is wrong with puzzle games for mobile devices. A true puzzle game should give you your resources, your limits, and then be CLEVER enough to make you think. A puzzle cannot be clever if it relies on not telling you vital information on how to even play the game, let alone begin to solve it. Unless you’re okay with watching the same ads numerous times just to reveal an answer that you would never had guessed, then stay away from this one. I love puzzle games, and play them a lot. This is not a puzzle game. This, quite frankly, is borderline ‘trolling’.

I love puzzle games and riddles and the like. This game is not a good form of any of those. The puzzles are not satisfying to solve at all. The mechanics aren’t straight forward, which I can forgive, but the puzzles ultimately just feel like they’re cheating or trolling you. The instructions are either too vague or written in a way that doesn’t actually help you find a solution. Like “help this person find cover” but the answer is to move the clouds out of the way. A good riddle would have a logic thought process to the answer, but to find cover doesn’t meant take the rain clouds away. “Protect them from the rain” would be better. There’s a lot of broken English in parts. “Restore Pay” button on the screen to remove ads instead of “Restore Purchase” and other similar phrases. This makes me wonder if the poorly phrased puzzles are intentional or not, but either way it doesn’t translate well. Finally, this app REQUIRES mic access. With the all the buzz around whether or not your phone is listening, the game isn’t do itself any favors by asking for mic access all the time. I don’t feel like I can trust the app to not be listening to more than it should especially when there was no indication of mic-based solutions in the (admittedly few) levels I played.

First, the in-game "right this app" pop-up only allows you to rate it 5 stars. Anything less can't be submitted. I seriously don't think Apple should allow this. I had to close the app (delete it because it's a waste of memory space) and then reopen the App Store and manually submit any 1-4 star review (1 star is being generous).... Now to the actual app. I have no problem with the ads. I'm not paying, so I get it. My PROBLEM is with the actual game. It's not a game. They aren't puzzles. At best you'll win by rubbing your finger around the screen with zero logic about why or where your swiping. You have to use the hints for nearly every challenge, and once the hints give you the answer you realize how ridiculous the "puzzle" was. But it's not actually a puzzle or challenge, it's literally an insult to people who like problem solving. Hey Apple, you should seriously stop apps like this from growing. These games make me not want to download other games in case I download a worthless scam like this. So when an app gets THIS MANY bad reviews, remove it from the App Store. And STOP letting apps require 5 stars to submit reviews within the game. Half the "5 stars" I'm seeing have a negative review title. You should be smarter than this Apple.

This game looked interesting, entertaining, and enjoyable. I was quite disappointed with the reality of the game. While there is a minuscule about of thinking and strategy involved, it seems that the only real way to pass a level is to repeatedly tap, swipe, pinch, etc. on your phone screen. There are no directions on which functions work or which will be used in the game in general. Seems like the real purpose of this game is to push users to watch hundreds of ads, so they can get more coins, to in turn, use as a means for securing a hint. I would not recommend this game to anyone. Literally. I cannot think of person who would find this exciting and enjoyable. Please just delete this from the App Store. 😬🤷🏻‍♀️ #someonehadtosayit
