Sticklings

For the first few levels, I thought this was a great game, totally worth the $.99 in app purchase to get rid of ads. But then, the developer made several typical mistakes that made me drastically lower my rating and eventually delete the game. First after maybe 20 minutes of easy levels suddenly becomes impossible. It could get much too hard, and playing the same level, over and over and over and over and over and over and over again it’s tedious, not fun. And then it gets even worse, as even if you played over and over that many times they’re just not solvable. Soon I discovered why this was… I tried tapping on the next level, since there was a level that I clearly was never going to get past even if I replayed it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again 1 million times, and I was told I had to watch three videos to get to play the next level. Well, having paid money for the game, I object to having to watch videos, especially several of them in a row, but in this case I said OK. Well, here the developer got greedy, because I watched a video after video after video, way more than 3, and it wouldn’t ever let me play that next level. After watching seven videos I gave up and deleted the app. Giving 2 stars instead of one because I did have about 15 minutes of fun playing it. Too bad the developer blew it... this could’ve been really great, five star game.

I bought three lemmings games in a row. This was a free one, so the graphics aren't as good as one of the ones I bought and there are a lot of ads. I guess it sounds like I need to just keep the free version. I don't mind the ads that much. (That was definitely worth the money by the way.) This version is fun to play except that I'm completely stuck on level 15. I don't think there is anyway to stop the swinging thing, or at least I haven't found one yet.

Been looking for a Lemmings type game for years. The first one I played 15+ years ago is the benchmark, and everything else has paled in comparison. Sticklings is good. It's not close to the one I used to have, but it's good. Why I can't give it 5 stars I don't know, but it's better than every other reincarnation of Lemmings I've tried. Give it a tri.
