I took a look at it right away. Looks like all the puzzles are that same kind ~ Slide-the-Circles? I really enjoy those. And no HO at all? Going to download it and see.

It does look interesting, Reenie.

I played through the Trial Game and still didn't quite get the game's controls, but loved the puzzles. The screen menu takes some memorizing to find your way around and I still was fiddling with it after the first half hour of playing. This is unusual. Most games make it quite clear where the Replay and/or Restart buttons are, for example,if you want to replay a puzzle and try for a better score.

The "Rewards" for solving puzzles are 1) Coins that let you buy your way out of having to solve a future puzzle (?), and 2) nonsensical snippets of info about the fictitious Grandpa and his ilk. The latter were irrelevant to the game. And when I wanted to stop playing the game, I couldn't figure out how to exit it! I had to Tab out to my Program Manager to shut it down. Maybe my reasoning powers are declining, but as much as I enjoyed the puzzles, I don't think I'll buy the game.

Reenie, I am finding that the interfaces with some of these games are becoming less transparent than they used to be. I am finally finding my way around with most of them, but I think the reason for seeing this sort of thing is due to the fact that they are being released for mobile as well and the interfaces cater to that.

You aren't the only one I have seen asking how to exit a particular game.

That makes sense, Marian. Thanks for the response!

I'm sorry to hear that other people have had the same issue, but it reassures me that I'm not becoming senile.

I just tried the game. You exit by using the Escape key and it should ask whether you want to exit the game.

I agree the controls are clear as mud.

Thank you for that information, Jenny.

Where I'm having trouble is picking up where I left off. When I restart the game, it seems to want to start me from the beginning again. I found a screen that "appeared" to allow you to select games, but it had more games marked with stars than I'd played.

Clear as mud.
