Stereogram Game: Magic Eye

It’s fine, lots of ads & some just don’t make any sense at all. Most of them are normal but I just got to a level where it was a half banana, half knight with a shield & the answer was banana. Then some are either very vague of super specific. Like for the moon Rover the answer was specifically the rover Curiosity which is weird since curiosity isn’t the only rover, but then they’ll show a creature with eyes all over its head sticking out, kinda giving a Medusa vibe & the answer is “monster” ?????

Magic Eye pictures are a quirky and fun illusion that one can entertain oneself with, but making them into a quiz is a fundamentally flawed concept. Even if you can see Magic Eye images fine, many of these puzzles are “you either know it or you dont.” Some puzzles require reading text, which is made difficult by the busy patterns. Some puzzles has misspelled answers, which is frustrating. Some puzzles had many possible answers, including multiple that had the same letter count. It doesn’t really feel like I’m solving a puzzle when I’m just guessing as to what the intended answer is. I found the UI in this app to be finicky, as well. Many puzzles I would have to tap multiple times to get the keyboard to pop up. The fact that the puzzles are unlocked only after completing the previous one is frustrating. It essentially means that as soon as one can’t solve a specific image, they are locked out of the rest of the content. This is compounded by the general vagueness some of these answers have. Overall a strong 2, maybe 2 1/2 stars. Good for killing 10 minutes if you have an adblocker.

I love this game, although some rounds do bother me. For example I saw a mars rover, the answer was “curiosity” which turns out to be the name of the mars rover but I’m not that smart! The ads are annoying but I bought pro for $1 with no ads, it is totally worth it!
