Pros and cons of PuzzleManiak app for iPhone and iPad
PuzzleManiak app good for
Puzzle maniac is just one of the best appstore game. 5$ for more than 10 game is verry good
I love this app and it is a very good price for all these games, although I know the last 5 games were recently added and now when I open it it crashes right away, I have done restarts and restores...I have deleted the app and re-added it but nothing works! please help! i went to the site for support but could not see a spot to email so Im writing it here! please fix soon thanks!
If my previous review (complaining about the crashing of the new update) got posted, I rescind it. After uninstalling and reinstalling the game a few more times (out of sheer stubbornness), it finally works, even though all my previous scores and stats have been erased (whatever), and PuzzleManiak remains one of the best games on the App Store, worth every penny and then some. Anybody who likes puzzle games should buy this right now, and then get ready to lose a whole lot of hours playing the many games.
Great application, my favorite, but the new chrismas version doesnt work on my iphone... I tried reastarting it, it doesnt work. I dont know where to say it... But please fix it fast! I pass more than 1-2 hours per day on this app.
I was only looking for a small picross app when I found this collection. Phenomenal selection of games, a great interface, and top-notch tech support! Best $6 I will ever spend in the app store. Very impressed with the random puzzle generators - theyre better than anything your competitors could come up with. Ill be recommending this app to everyone. Keep up the great work!
Very good game. But on pegs my octagon shape wont work. And its one of my favorites. If this gets fixed five star for sure!
Some bad moments
This ugly green version breaks necessary features that were in the previous version. It makes it much more dificult to begin the correct game. It makes it impossible to complete 2 of the games. The user interface has regressed in usability.
The one upgrade is that the Bridges game is more responsive.
After spending money on this app and using it every single day I would have appreciated usage enhancements, not a regression making it half as enjoyable.
Just keep using the Lite versions until this version is fixed. Youre not gaining anything but a headache by spending money on this version until it is fixed.
I made the mistake of downloading the new version and wish I never did. The new green color is horrible - its so dark and dreary. Second, the game has so many bugs that I dont want to play it anymore(Im seriously thinking of deleting it). Two bugs I found in Pattern so far: the numbers dont line up with the boxes; I solved the puzzle but the game wont stop. I have to hit solve and its the same thing I had. Please fix the bugs and rethink the colors so I can go back to playing with the games I enjoy.
This new update is horrible. Ive played this game daily for a long time but hate it now. There are many bugs in several games. I hate the pictures and you can no longer tell if youve played the web challenges which is one of the better parts. Id give negative stars if I could. Ive talked several people into buying this game but today I told a friend not to waste their money. In fact, Id like my money back if things arent improved for the better this time!!!!!
What a shock after recently upgrading all my Apps, to find my most consistently enjoyable games turn into something so frustrating and unpleasant to use. The green/black motif is hard to see. Major bugs with Pattens has already been mentioned in another post.
One of my favorites has been ruined by the recent update. Cant believe that the zoom function has been removed altogether, and the new graphics scheme is simply awful.
Is there anyway to "downdate" to the previous version? M. Minard, please help us!
There are few apps out there that can compete with PMs numerous pointless, regressive updates that insist on bothering users with poor and needless "graphic design" changes and atrocious color schemes, the latter of which have not been user-friendly since the original version of the game. What is this designer thinking? A good collection of games, though I dont play much anymore, as the screen seems to have become some sort of Clockwork Orange experiment designed to inflict pain upon ones eyes.
