Words of Wonders: Zen

Then after finishing up level 100, the ads started popping up. Only ads I’ve tolerated is for extra hints. I will never pay to remove ads, therefore I will remove the game instead. I was so pleased to see a game which finally had no ads popping up every time you finished something. At least I made it to level 100

The levels aren’t as difficult as I’d like.. even when you’re at level 70 and it says it’s “hard”, it doesn’t really seem much different difficulty wise, compared to the 10 levels you just did before that. Progression is also a bit slow for unlocking new things. Even so, I like giving my brain a mental workout daily. I enjoy the different take on a word game. I like the zen/calmness of the app, and unlocking new chapters which take you to new places, where afterwards you can save the images if you like the picture. I also love the koi pond aspect, and would enjoy if they were added to the homepage when I first open the app… I appreciate that I don’t have to watch ads after everything I do or complete. That’ll be the biggest reason I’d always choose and recommend this word game over any other! Of course there’s choices to watch ads if you want to get something extra for hints and whatnot, but it doesn’t force me to watch ads after I complete a level or any other time, it’s my choice to do so. So that already makes me say I love the app lol. Even if there’s a couple things I’d suggest be done a bit differently, I still love the app and it deserves a 5/5!

It’s a very fun game with lots of variety in puzzle difficulty. I like the option of a daily puzzle in addition to the regular puzzles. I like that I can turn off all the sounds, for me they are just a distraction rather than relaxing. The app is very graphics heavy and will drain your battery, so beware. Lots of background and level transition graphics that I think are unnecessary. There’s also a lot of unnecessary clicking required. Click to “get” your reward, click to “claim” that same reward!? Click to go to next level, click to go to next chapter. It’s an engagement ploy and rather annoying. But not a deal breaker. The app is glitchy and freezes often. A couple of bugs pop up whenever they update. I do wish there were options to turn off the tracking of how many days you played. I’m sure it’s supposed to be a motivation to keep playing daily but it just reminds me that I need to put my phone down and do something other than play this game everyday.
