Hedgehog Gardens - Logic Games

I can’t play this enough. I’m addicted to Japanese logic puzzles because my brain craves that kind of thinking, apparently. I used to do conceptis and Nikoli puzzles on the computer in the days before iPads and Hedgehog Gardens has a great UI that some other puzzle inventors haven’t been so successful at translating to touch devices. If I can swipe and tap as fast as my brain is thinking, you’ve made a good puzzle app. There’s nothing more frustrating than having to open a number pad sub menu to enter every single digit of a sudoku or Kakuro. In Hedgehog, you can just keep tapping to get those bursts of dopamine! I can’t say more good things about this app, other than I saw it on my sister’s iPad too and she confessed she’s played every level multiple times. As have I! Give us more!

I'm a sudoku fan, but I am also enjoying Hedgehog Gardens a lot and finding it very addictive. I think the developers have been very mindful of the user. There are ads, but the ads are not obstrusive, and they do not interrupt play, which I appreciate a lot. You don't have to solve every single puzzle in one level before you can try a harder level. You can also go back and choose to do easier level games whenever you want. There are several games available in each level so if you get stuck on one, you can leave it for a while and still do another on the same level. You are not forced to either complete a puzzle or be stuck. I thought I had issues with the counter, but that was resolved once I figured out that you can control it with swipes. You can also change what the counter shows in "Settings." Kudos to the developers for making a fun, addicting, free app. There is enough free content with non-obnoxious ads that I will gladly pay for upgrades.

Played this when it first came out. The game is fun, offers different degrees of challenge and new levels are made all the time. Advertisements are present but do not interrupt game play. I did have some issues with freezing during tutorials. Closing the app and restarting solved this. Enjoy!
