Love Poly: Puzzle Jigsaw

Games like this just p*ss me off. It could be a great game but the ads just destroy the atmosphere. They are after every level for Christ's sake! And you still have to watch an ad to unlock some of the levels. I mean, come on! You could have just made some of the levels unlocked by ads but no. You had to go way overboard. That's an uninstall from me.

Sort of fun, but the quantity of ads is rather high for the amount of gameplay. I paid the one-time fee to remove the ads, and that was an improvement. I resent that you are still required to watch an ad to complete each "super level", even when the puzzle is in the best possible alignment. Watch a video ad, and suddenly the pieces just congeal and you win. Like magic! Haha.

The number of advertisements is truly immeasurable. I've had the game for three minutes and have watched at least twenty. I became so sick of them I began to look in the settings for a way to pay for "ad free" but alas there is no such option.....and then an ad pops up after closing the settings menu (seriously, whenever you begin a challenge, finish a challenge, close the settings, anything an ad pops up). It's shameful because this would be my genuine favorite app if it weren't for the ads. 1*

I really want to love this game. The gameplay is fun and can be challenging at times which is nice. It completely falls apart when 90% of each puzzle has an ad after it and several puzzles require you to watch an ad before the puzzle. I have even got an ad after looking at in game purchases. I feel like the developers are trying to force users to buy the ad removal. I don't mind supporting developers if I really enjoy a game, forcing me to in order to enjoy the game is disappointing.

The game was nice at first, nothing too challenging and the pictures are cute, but the sheer amount of ads I had to sit through got so tiresome I just uninstalled. Probably would've gotten farther if I wasn't forced to watch an ad longer than the time it takes to finish two levels, before every other level. Tweak the frequency of ads that appear and you might have something, otherwise I feel like I'm watching ads more than actually playing a game. Kinda ruins the whole 'tranquility' thing.

At first, I found this to be a very peaceful and relaxing game, as well as a very beautiful game! it's all visually harmonious and very well thought out! But then I ran out of free levels, and I started looking around for more to do, so I tried the "PK" online challenges. Suddenly, my competitive side took over and it was no longer a peaceful, relaxing game but a ruthless battle, and I became a warlord bent on total domination. I can be seen in the PK challenges under the name "Melissymoo". I typically complete 12-15 puzzles in the 90 second bracket. My best to date is 18 puzzles in 90 seconds. I also like that there's a one-on-one mode you can play in-person with a friend using the same device. Now I'm using the stars I win in the PK challenges to slowly build on my card collections. I can see myself continuing to play this game for a long time. The persistence of the ads is annoying of course, but I found it easy enough to work around that with a bit of patience. However, after over two weeks of daily playing, I decided this game has earned my money in sheer entertainment value so I've gone ahead and paid to remove the ads. Here's some tips on how to solve puzzles fast! (based on my experiences playing on an android phone) You can often see the cloud of polygons looks like a big cylinder, the "front" will be one of those flat sides. If nothing lines up at all, like things that should be circles look like a bunch of X's instead of O's, then you picked the wrong end and the opposite side of the cylinder is the front. On the levels sometimes you need to rotate all the polygons in order to get them to ever line up. (thankfully this isn't a problem in PK mode though!) Run your finger in a circle clockwise or counter clockwise, in the OPPOSITE direction from the direction you want all the polygons to rotate, and they'll all turn. There's a bit of a bug where sometimes even if you perfectly line up the polygons they still won't "snap" into place to complete the puzzle. I've found this happens if the puzzle is not diagonal at all, like when it's perfectly right side up or upside down. If you rotate the whole thing a bit off-kilter clockwise or counter clockwise, and then try again to move the pieces together, then they snap together just fine. Also I've noticed some puzzles generate some lag, the blue wizards hat with the white stars is the worst one for slowing me down so I will quickly skip it whenever I see it in PK. I also often skip the origami puzzles because there's too few pieces with not enough color differentiation to tell which side of the puzzle is what.
