Love it, but a few suggestions
Lisa-in-boulder-city
I love this game and used to play it in puzzle magazines long before there were ipads and apps. It's much more enjoyable playing on my tablet device because I no longer wear through the paper with my constant erasing. So thank you, Conceptis for this electronic version. A few suggestions for the next release: 1. I do not want the game to automatically put an "x" on a path that I erase. 2. Is there a way to save the game at a certain point, rather than constant saving, so that I can restore to a certain point (and not have to completely start over) 3. Could we have a choice of multiple colors for our paths, so I can discriminate between paths I'm absolutely certain about, and paths I'm just trying out?
Great puzzle game

I love conceptis games. This one is no exception. If you like thinking puzzles, you'll like it too. The touch controls can get tight with the advanced puzzles on the iPad mini, but it's ok. Wish the control was slightly simpler. Don't need the (x out) state on line segments at all. Just on and off would be perfect. Conceptis always does this part right... The puzzle starts off easy with 3minute puzzles and graduates very smoothly to 40 minute puzzles. The look and feel are very pleasing and clean and gentle on the eyes. Also, the puzzles can be solved w/o guesswork, but sometimes I can't see the next step and want to play a guess move. It would be nice if I could use a different color or something, so I can distinguish my guesses from my sure moves. Also it's frustrating when I give up and want to see the solution to help solve a section of a large puzzle. Looking at the solution requires me to start over on the puzzle. I don't want to start over and I find this not enjoyable. I'd greatly prefer to toggle the solution.
Great value, something different!

Lots of free puzzles, works great, something different - not too easy!
Challenging

This game used to appear on variety puzzle books when I was a kid. I liked it then and like it now. I'm on my second time through the app. It's very challenging and doesn't get old. I agree that it would be nice to have the option of a different color for certain pathways and trial pathways. However, the game is still an excellent mind bender.
Fun. And addictive.

Although I'm working on the "easy" puzzles, some are still challenging. Glad these aren't too simple- nice job, guys!
Good

I enjoy the game a lot. I just wish there were also free larger puzzles available. The zoom option also could be improved.
Good app; very expensive, though

Buyer beware: you could end up spending thousands of dollars on Conceptis applications. Read on for details. This review includes the eight applications published on the iOS app store by Conceptis (Nurikabe, Tic-Tac-Logic, Link-a-Pix, Pic-a-Pix, Hashi, Sudoku, Slitherlink, and Fill-a-Pix). First off, their applications are well built and include many fun puzzles. I especially enjoy the weekly free puzzles, though it is a little irritating that they go away after four weeks and are not saved. However, the biggest problem—and I've noticed this mentioned in some reviews for these applications—is the high cost of puzzles. They are well done and fun, but when the costs are summed, they are rather high. There are 31,380 puzzles total (as of today) across the eight applications, ranging from very simple to rather complex, which would cost you a total of $3511 (not including tax). This is on par with the cost of licenses for professional-level applications. I think it's quite disingenuous of Conceptis to charge so much for the puzzles. When averaged (across all 8 applications for the entire range of puzzles), they total just over 15 cents/puzzle. That may not sound like much, but it can add up quickly. To contrast this, LogicPicColor, an iOS app like Pic-a-pix, has 16,778 total puzzles which cost a total of $30 (plus tax), averaging at a third of a cent per puzzle, about 50 times less than those from Conceptis. Now, LogicPicColor has some shortcomings and is not nearly as well done as the apps from Conceptis. Nonetheless, I don't believe Conceptis's apps and puzzles are worth that much of a premium, and will therefore be satisfied to look elsewhere. Perhaps someday they'll offer sales or discounts for puzzle bundles—ever since the apps were released, I've hoped for this, to no avail.
