Puzzlerama - Fun Puzzle Games

Calms my mind before sleep. I work all day with words, so spatial puzzles are a great way to clear my mind. Some I master quickly; others, although rated as easy, are very challenging. So far, a good balance. Update: Finally figured out that the way to find out how many hints are available is to click on hint button & then you will get the number. Duh. New update. I wish there was a way to sync across devices so that I could play on my iPhone when I am away from home. Needs to be connected to game board for syncing across devices. I’m very frustrated that I have to start from level 1 because my old iPad died & I want to play again. Really needs to sync across devices. I would give it 5 stars if it did. What’s the point of signing into the Game Center if that doesn’t work?! Still having same problem: can’t get my progress from Game Center incorporated into game.. so incredibly frustrating. I would not recommend this game bc of this issue I decided to go back to the game even tho I had to start all over. I decided that this was one of my all time favorite puzzle games & there was just no was to continue the progress I had made over several years (still makes me mad) but there is no other puzzle collection that has “missions” which I love & gets me to do puzzles which are very challenging for me (boxes & lasers). So biting the bullet & doing all the way too easy puzzles to get back to the hard ones. Grrr😡

The other reviews had me a bit nervous, but I have really enjoy this game. There are quite a few different puzzles with variety of difficulties within each. Every time you rank up by defeating levels you get a good for thought quote by a famous person which is interesting. There is an ad that plays permanently at the bottom unless you pay for ads to disappear, but honestly I don’t notice it when I am focusing on a puzzle at all. I saw another review claimed to have an ad every 5 puzzles as well however my personal experience is one every 25 puzzles. I think sometimes people forget that free games do cost money, so ads will always be a thing. This game does give you a deal daily quickly to remove all ads for only $2 along with 50 hint tokens, which is a decent deal if you see yourself playing this game a lot. I would recommend this game if you are looking for a variety of good free puzzles :)

I have an uncontrolled panic disorder. Therapies don’t work, medications other than sedatives don’t help when I’m about to shift from anxiety to panic. But these games- the ones that engage me, like the Rectangle Tangrams on expert level, they have allowed me to transcribe formerly suggested forms of distraction, so that my amygdala can reduce its battalions of neurotransmitters ampersand hormones. This is an app for people who can’t distract themselves by naming all the bones in the human body or all the elements on the periodic table or all the prime numbers, because we already know them. This app engages the necessity of communication through the Corpus Callosum, which any person well-versed in neuroanatomical physiology or cognitive psychology, would tell you is most efficient in re-allocating the brain’s excess of impulses, spreading them out over numerous areas instead of concentrating the impulses in the structures where the reactions “originate.” Five stars. Thank you, developers, from my inferior left ventricle (anatomy word play, hehe), for giving me a stepping stone toward getting my life back to the terminal degree of MD/PhD. Thank you for bringing the brain games of my childhood back to me in a way that I can access whenever needed. Thank you for giving me a way to get out of panic or overstimulation that doesn’t involve intellectual castration via sedative or self-harm. Some of these games, and I say this with complete lack of hyperbole, have literally saved my life.
