Puzzle Odyssey Reviews

So I played for half an hour last night and didn't see a single ad. I thought how refreshing it was to not have ads shoved down your throat in a game like this. Then today I accidentally hit the "no more ads" button and declined the $5 charge for no more ads. And now there is an ad after literally every single level. And I've seen reviews where people say that all ads are skippable.. Not in my case. The exact opposite happened, actually. The little count down to the end of the ad got stuck 3/4 of the way through an ad and I had to force quit. Open the game back up, and there's another ad! Feels very much like they get you hooked on playing the game with no ads and then all of a sudden, they're everywhere. Will be uninstalling.

this game is very clever and fun, but it has faults that should be easy to fix.

one- i’ll start off with the most common complaint. this game has so many ads that they are overwhelming. even when they are skipable, it is still frustrating to find that you are being distracted from the game for no real purpose except that the game makers are making a ton of cash off of your frustration.

two- it is very poorly organized. very. there should be sections within the different gams in PuzzleOdyssey , so that you can choose your level of difficulty. there is already something in there like this, but it needs to be more distinct.

three- in the One Line puzzles, they are almost always semetrical, making it far too easy to finish the puzzles even when they are put into the “hard category”

four- gems are abundant but only in small quantities and it therefore takes forever to unlock new puzzles!

this game is very fun, and the title is great. but as a naturally impatient person this game needs to be fixed for the public. happy 2019!

I see that someone called people lazy for complaining about the ads. Saying they are skipable. But I haven’t had that. I can’t skip most of them (more then half of them) and they happen VERY often. I did a level got an ad did one more level got another ad that I could NOT skip. And they said how people are complaining that the levels are too easy and and I mean people don’t want to play something that is ridiculously easy. I want a challenge. PuzzleOdyssey gets boring after a little. And the user also mentioned that you can buy the harder levels after a while. But that’s the thing you can BUY the harder levels. Why should I have to buy the fun part of PuzzleOdyssey ? It’s ridiculous

I don’t mind ads in games. It’s how they make their money. And if I enjoy a game I’ll almost always pay to get the ad free. More fun for me, and I’m supporting a good product.

This doesn’t even let me see if I like it. It just bombards me with long unscippable ads after every puzzle or two. Sometimes 2 or 3 ads in a row before I can get to the next puzzle. Some of the ads are deceptive and try to make you think they are part of this game. This comes off not like having to deal with a few ads to enjoy a game, it feels like watching ads with the occasional game to keep you from leaving. Deleted in less than 10 minutes.
Awful awful awful.

I kept seeing ads for this game so I thought I’d finally give it a shot. It isn’t that hard.. which can sometimes be a good thing.. it is very LOUD so I went to settings and turned off all the volume. But the Ads (there are a lot of them) all still have full blaring volume. They all have the option to mute but by the time you mute it your boss already knows you are playing games on your phone because it is so freaking loud. I get that if I want to play a free game there are going to be ads.. but this is a lot and they are very noisey. If I can’t play it privately then I won’t be playing it

Ok so this game isn’t bad, it is fun and starts off easy to warm you up to how the game works. It doesn’t take many gems to unlock the harder levels. The reason for the 2 stars is simple, this game is ad heavy. After 3 puzzles you will get an ad, some are skippable others seem skippable but after hitting the “x” it goes into the demo screen and those can last for 30 seconds. 30 seconds isn’t a long time that’s true but when you get one every 3 puzzles it makes you want to just give up and stop playing this game.

My opinion would be to make the ads less frequent, that way you still get your ads in there but not make the user want to just delete the game before they even truly try it.

This game is ridiculous. I always complain about ads because people are always ruining good apps with vehement ads, but PuzzleOdyssey tops the cake BY FAR. I thoroughly enjoy the puzzles which take up a lot of my time and ads a fantastic way to distract yourself. Or, at least they would be, but the developers insist you watch 30 second ads between every two-three puzzles. And mind you these puzzles are short, many of which can be beat in seconds. So you can imagine how many ads they shove down your throat. And remember most of the ads are 30 second ads they don’t let you skip! I love this game but if you people don’t chill it out with the harassing ads I will delete very soon.

I noticed an issue with the mine sweeper game in PuzzleOdyssey . If the time runs out on your game it won’t let you start a new one. The little text/conversation box asks if you want to play again, but nothing happens when you try to click it. This has happened twice. I deleted PuzzleOdyssey and redownloaded it (and lost all progress on every other game despite it being connected to the Game Center) to see if that would fix it. And it did. But now it’s happened a second time. As of right now, mine sweeper is the only game I’ve noticed with this problem, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only one.

Its an easy game. They probably make their money on the ads so the levels are are crazy easy so you fly through them to get to ads. Yay! This must be a new thing seeing lots of these games popping up. Still plenty of freemium games too this is just a new money grab tactic I am noticing picking up steam. If youre bored why not. I mean not many option these days unless you are willing to drop major coin for a really fun and a reasonably filled ad experience game. If they reduced ads already I can not imagine how bad it was before. 😐

the game itself is kinda entertaining and a good way to pass time. and its addicting. But there are SOOOO MANY ADS. each puzzle takes less than 30 seconds to complete and you get a forty second ad after EVERY SINGLE ONE! i wanted to just buy the add free version but its five dollars! If it were like one or two dollars i would understand but the game just isn’t worth that much. seriously can we just get less ads? i know you have to make money off it somehow, but literally this game is more ads than game.

So on Weave One Line, Classic 01, level 25 it will NOT let me finish the level. I even bought a hint with diamonds two separate times to see if that would help. It seems like the specific angle it wants me to do is impossible as I have tested it in other levels. I still love the game but I can’t access ANY of the other levels in that whole section because of this problem!
But again, great game! I’m so happy that someone finally put all my favorite games into one place :)
And yes there are a decent amount of ads but they are all skippable (most of the ones I have gotten have been instantly skippable)
I would rate it 5 stars but I really want this level to be fixed or something done about it so I can finish that section. So 4 stars for now.

I love this game. Very relaxing and challenging at the same time.

My only complaint is that some levels remain busted even after many updates. For example, GET 24 Master level 102 (1, 1, 7, 12) is impossible. Hint says no answer. Online searches also say no answer. This hasn’t been fixed for almost a year.

Other than that, great stuff

I love the idea behind this game. The gameplay is pretty unique and it’s amazing how some puzzles can seem so difficult and then when you come back you noticed you missed a simple move.

My only complaint is similar to the others. There are a lot of ads, more then comparable games. I was going to take an extra star from my review because of this, but since you can airplane mode to keep ads off, I felt that was unnecessary

Rated game low when started do to excess adds, but they have toned them down a lot! Glad too see games is really fun and test your brain power! Last star is due to lack of ability to navigate easily, but that may be more my opinion the. A problem! Great game and fun would recommend now!

Seems fun, but you spend more times watching ads then you get to play. I don’t mind watching ads, and play several games with them, but this games is like 2 rounds of 10 secs then a 30+ sec add....

This game is so addictive and relaxing I have never played anything like it and I bet no one loves this game more than me and the music is so calming and who cares what bad reviews say love to all the people who love this game I am actually starting to love this game more than other games it really helps you get through a lot of things that are going on right now and it is just really relaxing and fun sorry for the short review but I do love this game. Big sentence huh . LOL

But there was a bug on level 90 in fill lines where I didn’t have to fill the whole board but on the next level I had too. 🤔🤔🤔
There was no way to complete the whole board anyway, but that was just weird. Also, there are a lot of ads, but not toooooo many. The number you put I can deal with, but I’m getting too many ball blast ads. Please put some more variety of ads if you’re going to put ads. KEEP UP THE WORK AND I’LL BE SURE TO ELL MY FRIENDS!!!😊😊😘(😅)😎😎😎

I paid for the ad free after awhile. It is worth it in my opinion and I usually don’t pay and just skip ads in apps. But in this case I felt like the ads were just annoying enough and the games were great so went for it. The games list keeps growing and the play is really smooth and not laggy. The daily challenges are simple and the gems easy to build up for skipping a level if you want. The only game I have seen buggy was freecell. It is a fairly newly added game and I am sure it will be fixed. This is a great mix of games and I really like it and highly recommend it.

I like the variety and how you have to earn other puzzles. Overall I like the presentation. Colors sounds menus.

I haven’t done the NO ADS option yet as I like to give an app a decent trial period first. But I predict I will do that. For now the short ads are fine and I can choose to watch longer ones for points which I think is a good way to handle things.

This game is super fun to do when your bored I’m on vacation right now and I didn’t know what to play all my other games are SUPER fun but they also get boring I always read the reviews to a game before I download the game but with this one I was like “Eh I can tell that this is a good game！”I like how they tell you when there’s going to be an add I also like how there’s different novices and levels!

Great app! I would like to see credit for the number of moves made in the first game in this application. The objective is great but I believe the challenge would further the value with credit for the number of moves made to complete the level. Hope this helps and we see an updated version with enhanced feedback.
