Onnect – Pair Matching Puzzle Software

Actually calming (or exciting, depending on how you play) game. Maybe a bit addicting (not sure why people think thats a good thing). Pretty much everything people complain about has a good option for. Dont like the timer? You can disable it. Pictures get hard to distinguish? You can swap the picture set at any time. Dont like the ads? You absolutely do not have to monthly subscribe to remove them — theres a button in settings that allows you to permanently disable ads for a one time price for like two bucks. Theres no options for bombs but i like them cause they keep you strategizing and i like the time pressure. If you dont like them, theyre not that frequent and its easy to remove them with shuffles, which you can also earn very easy. I like the variety of levels. Its nice going from a super hard, dense board to an easy one as a break. But it does get repetitive. Maybe i will get bored someday but right now the simplicity is a major plus, especially compared to all the other cheap puzzlers out there (no i dont want a garden or a quest board or a lengthy tutorial in every single game, crazy right?). Also the sountrack is beautiful (an additional track would be nice tho, as well as more sound effect volume control) and the art reminds me of I Spy books. Fav puzzler so far.

This is probably my favorite phone game. I can get lost in it for hours. I don’t even care that I have to watch a 25 second ad in between each level. My one giant irritation (and I really hope the developers can fix it) is that the “bomb countdown” starts as soon as you click the replay button, which means that the whole time you are stuck waiting for the ad to finish, the bomb is already in action. Sometimes it’s a super short ad or one you can X out of in a couple of seconds, but more often it’s halfway gone by the time you restart the level. Even more maddening is when it takes so long for the ad you can’t even tell what the picture is that you’re trying to match up once you’re able to “see it”. Please, oh pretty pretty please, for the love of all that is holy, fix this stupid problem!!! (Also, thank you for this game. It’s otherwise fantastic)

After reading the reviews I almost didn’t download the game. I am so glad I did! It is very similar to mahjong with some challenges, like moving tiles. I don’t mind the ads in between the games. They do get annoying when they play after pausing the game. I think I have worked up to somewhere in level 40 or so and plan to keep going. It was a bit confusing on how to play at first, but I figured it out. If there was a help button with directions I couldn’t find it. The basic goal is to connect a line between two identical pictures. Be warned, several pictures can look quite similar. There doesn’t seem to be a penalty for clicking on the wrong picture (thank goodness). It is timed, but if you run out of time you can watch an ad and add more time to the clock. I say take a chance and download, you can always delete it later if you don’t enjoy it.
