Ratings and reviews

The game itself is good, but it takes so long to load I usually just close it out and play something else. Playing offline is just as bad as online. I tried it. The load time reminds me of using a dial-up modem, and I'd rather not go back to that. If it was just the game, without all the junk slowing it down, it would be 5-star, easily. It does have the advantage of encouraging me to get more done, since I can click it, go dust or mop, check back, do another load of laundry, then start playing.

Fun with clear (easy to identify) pictures on the tiles. Easy for a beginner because the tiles that are "free" are highlighted while the tiles that are not "free" appear to have a shadow. The games are interesting and challenging and do not repeat. There's no sense of having done the same puzzle before.

(-1) star because 1. when I sort the games by "not completed" and click on the top one, it opens some other shape or patterned one than what I pressed. I have to go back, press choose puzzle, and do the top one again for it to actually give me that one. 2. I wish I knew what the suits were in the Minecraft tile set lol
