A Star Wars casual puzzle game? Yes, please. – Star Wars: Puzzle Droids™ Review

UPDATE 2/5/18: I stopped playing this weeks ago, waiting for them to finally fix the bug that continues to play some sound effects even when the audio is turned off in the settings, and the phone is on mute. I’ve contacted customer support, and they responded with a form email telling me to restart my phone, close all other apps, etc. None of their suggestions made any difference. This is a broken experience, and I won’t be playing again until it’s fixed. UPDATE: I do still love the gameplay and the setting, but after playing for a few months, there are three major issues I have with it: 1. There are a lot of bugs, especially with the sound effects and/or music dropping out. 2. It's a battery hog. My phone gets really hot when I play it, and a check of my battery usage shows it's using 3x as much battery as the next highest app. 3. Some of the levels aren't tested well. I'm fine with challenging, even frustrating, levels. But the "no more moves, reshuffling" alert comes up on many levels after just one or two moves, and then again and again throughout the level. This seems like poor level design, rather than challenging level design. I still play, but I'm not addicted, because the flaws keep getting in the way. I hope changes can be made to improve the game, because I really *want* to love it. -- Only a few levels in, and already I can tell I'm going to be addicted to this game. The gameplay is easy to pick up—it's your standard gem matching game mechanic—but the music and sound effects are superb (love hearing the heroic end credits music when I finish a level) and Anthony Daniels narrating as C-3PO is a perfect touch. Again, I'm only a few levels in, so my one hope is that there's plenty of Artoo to come. BB-8 is great, but for me, nothing beats that old blue astromech.
