It keeps getting better! – Triplicata Maui: Puzzle Game Review

Updated review: This is a really fun puzzle game that gets better as you go on. As more of the power ups start to kick in with the ability to clear some of the blocks from the board, the game gets a lot easier to play. The addition of the ability to turn off random blocks appearing on the board makes it even better. I could see playing the whole game once through without the random blocks and then again with the random blocks turned on for more of a challenge, so there’s definite replay value. The updates are really appreciated! _________________________ Original review: I keep trying, but I’m currently stuck on the 5th level of chapter one. It took quite a few tries to get through the previous two levels also. This is exactly the kind of game I like, and I don’t have any trouble playing seemingly more difficult games than this. When the level starts, the board is already pretty crowded with blocks that make it difficult to match anything, then as the level progresses, the random blocks popping onto the board just make it frustrating. That’s added to the fact that you most likely won’t get the blocks you need for the matches you’re trying to set up. I really wouldn’t want it to be too easy, but it seems like something is slightly off with the way this is planned out. Also (though this doesn’t have anything to do with the difficulty) whenever I drag a block to the trash can, it will just pop back where it started. It will usually take a few tries before it goes in. Sometimes that also happens when dragging a block onto the board. Anyway, I really like that the game has no ads or in-app purchases. I might delete and re-download it so I can start over and see if I missed something along the way… UPDATE: I did delete and start over. One thing that was different - I forgot that I’d turned off the hints. I usually don’t want hints in games because that makes it too easy. Now, re-playing this game with the hints I’m stuck on the 4th level of chapter one. LOL!
