Lexilogic - Logic Puzzle

I’m on level 33 of this game now and really enjoying it. I did play about 3-4 games to see if I liked it before buying it. It is now formatted to the iPad for older reviews the mention that it didn’t. I do have some suggestions, questions. It has the large shopping cart and hint buttons on the lower portion of the squares. These make it difficult to read the lower squares without having to slide it back and forth. Please make them smaller and put at the top. There is a button to “pencil in” hints. This is worthless because after you leave the square the note disappears and doesn’t return. I had hoped it would be like the sudoku games where you can see your notes while figuring out what goes in which square. It doesn’t even show back up when you click on the pencil button again. Please fix those issues and it will be much better. You also need a way to earn hints. Many people, including me, don’t pay money in a game.

Fun game overall. Puzzles are challenging but not so much that they can’t be figured out with a little thinking. But the attention to detail is not very high. In the “animals” puzzle, the clue stated “Rabbit can be found in Column B” but the entire B column was full. So at that point it was a guessing game as to where it actually was at. The Ads are extremely frustrating. Having the banner ad right below the Enter key when typing has led to multiple ads being opened. As well as the full screen ads that pop up mid game. I could understand after a puzzle or two, but mid level breaks the concentration so easily. Then the keyboard itself is not very responsive. Often times multiples of letters get inserted, or no letter at all. Which if not paying attention, leads to incorrect answers and a loss of lives. Also the layout is annoying at times. Having to scroll side to side incessantly to see answers doesn’t help. It’s harder to keep track of info that way. Being able to switch to a landscape mode would improve this aspect greatly. Good game. Could be great. But needs some help rounding off the edges.

I like this game because it is challenging and I love logic puzzles. However, there are several things about this game that I do NOT like and/or believe needs to be fixed (ergo, I only gave it 3 stars). The first thing is the amount of ads. I get that you need to have ads for your sponsors, but that MANY ads that FREQUENTLY (i.e., as soon as I open a puzzle, every other time I guess either right or wrong, etc.) is a bit much. The second, and essentially the BIGGEST, issue is how the actual game is formatted. What I mean by that is that there are some puzzles that fit just fine on my phone screen, but for much larger puzzles, I often times have to scroll back and forth, which wouldn't be so bad if I could turn my phone landscape and play the game that way. Also, I tried playing this game on my iPad (since the app CLAIMED that it is iPad compatible), but it was only formatted to an iPhone screen (also, I still couldn't turn my iPad landscape for easier gameplay). If it weren't for those two issues, along with the fact that there's no way to get more hints except to PAY for them, I would give this game 5 stars. If these problems are fixed, then I will go back into the App Store and change my review.
