IQ Dungeon

If you ever wanted to play that puzzle you saw in an ad, then this game is for you! IQ Dungeon is a bunch of short and funny puzzles, and an intriguing storyline. The concept is straightforward, but the solution may not be what you expect. However, there are hints for every puzzle, and stars you can save to make hints easier to get than watching ads. I didn't expect to find myself laughing at the gameplay, or shocked by plot twists, but there I was happy and surprised. The game is lighthearted and child appropriate, making it a great escape from reality for people of all ages.

Very easy to just pick up and play the game. The levels are very quick to finish- once you’ve figured out the solution. Some of the puzzles stumped me for a long while but were well worth the satisfaction once solving them. The art style is unique, a little quirky and you’ll grow to love it several levels in. Surprisingly good original music throughout the game as well. I’ve finished the substantial number of levels in the game, would love to see a sequel. Though the game does have minimally intrusive ads, it reminds me of old school puzzle adventures back in the day where you pay one price for a good quality full game without constant paywalls for additional content.

When I first saw this game, I thought it was just some simple puzzle solving game. But throughout my time of playing “Season 1,” I was enthralled with the story and the art style. I found myself even finding the characters endearing. The story book style this game had was rather nostalgic. The puzzles were also a lot of fun to solve, and the fact that many involve using your to get past was creative. Most puzzle games on mobile don’t even go through the trouble of including diverse sets of puzzles. I found myself shaking my phone or rotating it constantly. The puzzles continued to pull me in with how imaginative they were, and the logical puzzles were a joy to solve. When I finished Season 1, I was both happy to see how the story comes to an end but sad to see it go. I checked out the app several months after and noticed that there was a new season available! And with so many levels available too! I already noticed the care and work put into the game at first, but to see so many updates over time just shows how dedicated Hirameku is to their craft! I hope to see more Seasons in this game, I would gladly support the devs in future endeavors as well!
