It's apparently a Google Play Store kind of week for my games. I had such success with finding a great game when I chose Aqueducts, I thought I'd try again... This one was not nearly so great, but it did remind me that logic puzzle should be added to my list of games, because I love them!
These, however... these are not good logic puzzles. Want to know why? Of course you do. Here's why:
First, they aren't multidirectional. I don't know if that changes in the harder levels (I played Easy because it was almost bedtime).
Then, the clues are written poorly. Again, I know I was in Easy mode, but there were too many redundant clues. When you have a clue like "the person with a baseball hat doesn't play basketball," there are a lot of useful clues you could follow up with, but "the basketball player doesn't have a baseball hat" is not one of them.
And finally, they don't have any story behind them. Maybe I was spoiled as a kid, but my logic puzzles at least tried to make a little sense. Like, you might be combining breeds of dog, types of dog treat, and leash colors, and you're a dog-sitter who's watching all these dogs and trying to remember which one likes which type of treat. The ones in this app are literally just combinations of objects. The second one I did had vehicles (submarine, ambulance, helicopter, and zeppelin) and types of money (20 pound note, 10 pound note, 5p coin, and 1p coin) and two other elements, I think hats was one of them? But the clues referred to the elements like, "The one that has a 20-note owns a zeppelin." What? Under what circumstances are we trying to sort these things out? You're telling me that someone who owns a submarine only has a penny? What's happening here?
