Beautiful design and music, repetitive gameplay – Blyss Review

REVIEW UPDATE: First, thanks to the developer for the feedback, I hope the studio works well to improve the game in the future. That being said, after the last update, I had to drop my rating from 3 to 1 stars due to the terrible monetization which was included. As of now, it is extremely hard to accomplish tasks and progress further into the game, unless you watch long advertisements of other games every time you fail a level. In case you watch the ads however, you can simply keep going forever, getting as high scores as you like. This is not how a premium app should look like. I suggest you work on balancing the difficulty and getting rid of the ads altogether, if you plan on offering this game as a paid app. ************************** I got this game as a free app of the week on the iTunes Store. Blyss is a beautiful Zen puzzle, which has simple mechanics but often requires good planning of the future moves. The first 20-30 minutes are very entertaining. You get to unlock few new themes, play modes, etc. However, soon after the game starts becoming a bit repetitive and doesn't even try to motivate you to play further. The difficulty level of the tasks you need to perform increases too rapidly (30lvl Time Attack?), and also there are not new gameplay mechanics introduced later in the game. All of this kills any incentive to play, which is unfortunate considering the neat idea, and beautiful design and music.
