This is the second time this has happened to me. I lose progress every time I update. For the past year I have loved playing this game as an idle passtime when waiting for food at restaurants, etc, but I am at the point where I’m tempted to just delete the app.
I’ve played through many times. It’s perfect while listening to media or waiting. Eventually, I explored custom user-submitted puzzles. They freshen up the content and some are great. What’s troubling is that there are several swastikas in that section (one by a user who also submitted the “SS” logo. I’ve taken screen caps but have no way to share them here. I contacted the developers last week but I still see some of those puzzles while skimming. I haven’t heard back but once those puzzles disappear and/or I they respond to my email then I will revise this review. In the meantime, that’s very troubling as would any delayed response be. It’s more important than discussing what I genuinely like (I could go on) or what I don’t (new nag screen for subscription, that the app pauses audio when launched). Dev, PLEASE review the user submissions. I love using them and may even submit my own... once the Nazi images (that you did NOT create) have been removed. I’d like to think you will also monitor/approve submissions going forward if only to reduce these kinds of things.
The design is so beautiful, and I wish other developers like Ketchapp would take note. However, the game play is a little basic- and you start to do the same tricks to move the dots over and over. EDIT: around the level 25 mark the game became to become more challenging. Getting rid of 10-15 of the earlier levels would probably help.
Dotcraft. is a minimal color-based combination puzzle game. To solve the puzzles, move the dots by sliding your finger in different directions to line...
