twofold inc. App Reviews

The first time I use this I was very confused about how it worked. But after playing a while then redoing the tutorial* it started making sense and has become extremely fun. For those who hate difficult Games, my sense is that it will always be challenging but once you get the drift, its lots of fun * If you dont have more than one device, delete it from your device then reinstall in order to redo a tutorial

As others have said, I think the puzzle engine needs tuning. Its fine for the first few moves, but when it tells you that you need a color but there arent any of that color, you lose. Theres no way to plan for that scenario that I can tell. So, 3 stars. Meh.

After all the positive Internet hype and reviews, I thought this could be a great little puzzle game to have on my phone. Sadly, aside from the slick aesthetics, this game is oddly shallow yet complicated,and simply not very enjoyable. I didnt get better as I played (since everything feels so random) and more importantly, I wasnt having any fun playing. Definitely not worth the $4. Maybe give it a shot when it goes on sale for $.99 at some point down the line. Id definitely wouldnt recommend it at any price, to be frank.

Im sad to have spent money on this. For one, despite turning off the game sound effects and music, it insisted on turning off the music I was playing in another app. Rude behavior, considering I told it what I didnt want from it. Secondly, proficiency at this game seems to be more chance than anything. Whenever I saw that the goals were unobtainable because there literally werent enough pieces of a given color on the screen, I quit that game. Im sure there are individuals out there who are ok with more futility in their games, but Id rather play games that create a greater sense of achievement.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME The guy who made this is clearly very good at aesthetics(which is what the extra star is for), but very bad at designing gameplay. I keep getting stuck because it asks for more tiles than there are in the board. Hopefully he updates the game and actually makes it playable. Until then, do not buy it.

I havent been this into a puzzle game on my iPhone since Threes! Its simple enough I can play on my commute, while being engrossing enough to really keep my attention.

I bought this knowing the developers previous work, and its definitely in the same vein. To get the highest scores, every turn counts, and board management is a must. The look and feel of the game is excellent. Think carefully about each move and youll be handling 50+ requests in no time :)

Every Time I start the app my podcast player mutes itself even when I have the app muted. Also the price was a little steep imo. Fun game though

This is a great game that takes a little practice, but its worth it. Contrary to some of the reviews here, the game has never given me impossible requests. Rather, it regularly gives seemingly impossible requests that require clever, creative solutions. For example, if it asks you for 64 yellow points, but there are only enough blocks to score 4 yellow points, you need to do the other requests first, allowing more yellow blocks to spawn. Just a little tip for those struggling with this aspect.

The game looks pretty, the puzzle aspect seems promising- but this game is half baked. It has potential to be a great game, but it fails to be engaging, challenging and lacks objective. There is a lack of clear level progression and you get bored fast. If it was free, sure- itd be an awesome game. But with this steep price point, you can easily find other games on the market better worth your time and money. I wish I could have a refund.

Addictive game, easy to use but the tutorial is awful. I had to read reviews on here in order to really learn the game. Seems to get ridiculously hard very quickly, like "complete 3 blue requests of 64," yet either theres 2 blue squares on there or no way to conceivably get to the ideal set of squares before you lose all lives. Cant figure out why if I complete requests of one color that it also fills another? We need better directions.

I dont see what the hype is with this game. Its pretty boring and not worth the money.

This game cannot be played. Seconds in, it frequently requires tiles it refuses to give you.

Great puzzle game but somehow it ate through 28% of my battery in 15 minutes.

Super slick design and interface, no lag at all. And puzzles are great! Also the Developer is super nice and contacted me personally when I sent an email about a bug!

Could use a better tutorial. And NEEDS option to let me listen to my own music/podcasts while playing.

I use this a lot when I’m hanging around and waiting. This is one of those games, like Threes, that I can do in my sleep but it’s perfect for passing time when you’re waiting. I find the music and sound effects distracting but the colors and game itself are relaxing. One thing I really like is that you can make it your own pace… I’m not always in the mood for a heart-racing oh my God I have to beat the clock thing, so I chill and do little bits. Or I challenge myself and figure out how to make one move that will score big. I might not have notice it if it weren’t on the editor’s choice list and I’m glad I did.

Anyone who cant see the simplistic genius of this game may be better suited for bejeweled or two dots. Theres no flashy explosions, the game doesnt say AWESOME or COOL DUDE whenever you do some mundane task. This game is a well designed and smart puzzle for those who love puzzles. It makes you think, it makes you mad, theres a learning curve, and its absolutely addicting. The best way to describe it is a deconstructed rubix cube that you have to twist and turn to appease some cruel god who loves matching colors. Its a game that requires patience and intellect, and is a true test of self control. I purchased this game after falling in love with rymdkapsel and I regret nothing, its worth every penny.

This game is a blast, finally something new and fresh has made its way to mobile gaming. My only issue is game progression- there is no way to save particular colors and when large requests come up later in the game, you end up with a board of maybe two colors. It becomes impossible. After logging many hours of play, blue seems to spawn more much more frequently than any other color.

I enjoy this game, great for quick gaming sessions. as others have mentioned, it can be frustrating as you get further in a session and run into an impossible task based on the colors available. but my biggest complaint is that the game overrides all other sounds, meaning I cant listen to iTunes while playing. this is a simple but crucial user experience tweak that would add at least 1-2 stars to my review.
