Knit Out

This is my favorite game on my phone! I really love puzzle games and have downloaded so many but this is the only one that holds my attention level after level and doesn’t have a million really long ads. The levels get increasingly difficult and as I’ve gotten up there in levels (I just hit level 400), I often have to play a level multiple times to get past it. I love that they’re challenging without being so difficult that they’re impossible to finish. My favorite thing about this game is that it’s one of the only ones I’ve found in which the ads are relatively short and that’s the main reason I keep playing it everyday. Please don’t change that!

I really liked this game until I got to the 300s and realized it’s nothing but a money grab. As several other reviews mention, some levels are impossible the pass without a power-up, and power-ups cost 900+ coins, and you only get 40 per level (unless you watch an ad, then you get 80). For the first day, the game is ad free. Then, there’s an ad after EVERY. SINGLE. LEVEL. Want to get rid of those ads? That’ll cost you $10. Want to unlock double rewards for the season pass? Another $10 — for EVERY season pass (each month). Need extra coins? At least $2 (and that’ll only get you 1000 coins). Out of coins but want to keep playing a level? $5. Plus, you cannot go back and play previous levels OR reset your progress. I wanted to play this game to relax and calm my mind. Now I’m stressed and ticked off and wasted money before I wised-up.

Overall I really enjoy this game. It’s a fun little time waster and follows some of the same patterns you have to pick up as others do, makes you think a bit but not too much and getting through is satisfying. It’s not perfect. Like some others of these types of games it will end up becoming a guessing game at some points where the path forward is hidden. You just have to make an educated guess and it hope it works out. If you can roughly remember where spools are during a replay you increase your chance of success. If you fail too many times you’ll have to wait for your hearts to replenish but it’s fairly quick. I’ve tried many worse time wasters. Some feedback for the devs: Some colors are hard to distinguish even with the brightness on my phone at max, and virtually impossible to tell apart with the screen dim at night as I’m trying to wind down. Perhaps stripe patterns could be used? Also I’d enjoy being able to replay levels.
