Bonza Planet

The format is simple, easy to understand, yet not so much so you get bored. Some of the puzzles are quite challenging as your eyes won’t see the full words. Good one to play when you are waiting somewhere as you can close it without losing anything. Well worth $5

When the latest update came out I was hoping the developers would see that it was a wrong direction to take. I don’t want to see a screen every time I use the app to pay money to remove the ads. Until this, I was fine to watch an ad or two to play additional games. Now, as a form of protest, I won’t watch one single ad. As soon as the initial game is over, I close the app. As I said, I used to get them some money by watching one or two ads per day. Now they get nothing from me. In fact, I discovered that after I do the daily puzzle and I see there’s a jigsaw available to do, if I close the app and then reopen it, I don’t have to watch an ad in order to do the jigsaw. And to make matters worse, they have now instituted the same greedy update in the original Bonza! This whole thing saddens me.

Enjoy the short puzzle challenges and the facts and trivia one can pick up at the same time. The jigsaws can be a bit tricky because of the way the pieces are cut but that just adds to the challenge. Helpful hints if one gets stuck on the crosswords. The puzzles seem perhaps a tiny bit more challenging than regular Bonza but both games offer a good brain workout and an entertaining way to pass the time. Two thumbs up! Not the least because I've not discovered any glitches and one isn't bombarded with multitudes of pop ups at every turn.
