Comments on Cardinal Chains for Android

★★★★☆ Hector Carrillo · May 30, 2018

I feel bad for ruining the perfect 5 but there's one glaring issue I couldn't ignore. Some of the puzzles are great, but the problem is that a lot are way too easy. Over 500 sounds great, but you will run into some that solve themselves, thus completely ruining the difficulty curve. I'm not talking about puzzles that are easy to me, I'm talking with as much objectivity as possible. The challenging puzzles are those where the logical path is hidden in red herrings. Where choice leads to choice that leads to choice. The easy ones are those that lead from "must happen move" to another until the board fills itself. [Minor spoiler] A" must happen move" is noticing that only this color can get these 1s, or the only way to get this 4 is by the singular 3 next to it. Stuff like that, not moves that pop out to the player. Again, trying to be objective [End spoiler] These can be viewed as bits of respite between the more challenging levels, but simply being a phone game makes it prone to self-made respite by simply doing something else. Considering more difficult puzzle games on pc do just fine without relief puzzles, i think these unnecessary puzzles drags the game down from perfection. Everything else is good, no complaints. Well, lack of music makes the experience feel a bit empty, but since we're on phones, that's easily remedied. Edit-upon further reflection, the game is also a bit too easy in general, but I think it's fine for the price tag Also the "bad design achievement" tips off the player that perhaps every other puzzle has 1 solution. Therefore, if the solution you're testing allows for two different outcomes (Like you can either have a 1112233/12 or 11122/1233 chain), then it's probably wrong and that means the player should scrap it and start over. This form of meta gaming in unsatisfying.
