Great game, some small improvements.
I love this game. People are complaining about having to use real money to buy tokens are wrong. You can replay any level which will now cost “coins” (which are plentiful). Once you complete the replay you can receive up to 3 tokens each time. Even if you replay the puzzle it is still a challenge as you can hardly memorize an object and it’s squares so it is still fun and a good time filler. Some levels have certainly been difficult and occasionally have stumped me but you can solve all of these using logic and process of elimination. A hint is never required to solved. I only give this 4 stars because of course there are numerous ads as with most free games. I do opt for extra ads to gain more tokens and/or the occasional free level. However sometimes the tokens do not appears as stated in some reviews. It is frustrating and happens more commonly than I would expect. The biggest downside I have noticed is the game does not seem to sync across devices. I have started playing on my ipad primarily because it isn’t as small and my progress is not saved on my account and therefore cannot continue from where I left off if I were to switch to my phone. Lastly, I would love to see more achievements and challenges as they only can be achieved within the first puzzle pack and I am beyond that point.Show lessJHippMama
4 stars and a third of a star rating.
Last year, my mom introduced my younger brother to a game very similar to this game. When he told me about it, I asked my mom to try it with me. I had never tried one of these games before and loved it right away!❤️when I got this game I was soooooo Happy! You did a wonderful job on lots of it! Its Very fun. Keep that in mind. It keeps me very occupied during quarantine. I have just a few problems though. (1 my first suggestion is to do a zoom in. Without one it makes it challenging to play this wonderful game!😕 (2 I love all of the work you have done here, and I love that you have to finish one puzzle to play another, but is it possible that you could make a way to either buy them or make a way that you could do a puzzle that’s in a level I haven’t been able to unlock yet? I very much recommend if you’re looking for a good puzzle game.
Congrats!🎉 you got to the bottom of this comment! it took me 1 whole hour to right!😅😮 Thank you so much for reading! I hope you have a AMAZING day/night! Goodbye!👋🏻Show lesson the ice ccf
Enjoyable game but needs bugs fixed
I find the game enjoyable and relaxing. With various grades of difficulty you can choose the level of play according to your mood.
However, there is a bug with the token rewards. I don’t mind watching ads to get rewards, and gladly if watching one offers to double the token reward (as some daily rewards do). What really annoys me is when I watch the ad then not only do not get the double tokens, but get none at all!!! This has happened several times. Since the developers are parsimonious when it comes to tokens in the first place, I’m now often left without enough tokens to play. Also for two days I hadn’t enough tokens (2) to play a game and the board did not display one of those flashing video icons on a square that would enable free play.
Also, when I reached and achieved the 300 puzzles solved challenge I expected I’d get some reward - preferably tokens - and got nothing. I thought that was pretty awful - a real let-down.
If they fixed the bugs, I’d give them 5 stars.Show lessMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
Best game ever. OBSESSED!!
11/10 - Such a fun game, addictive and satisfying, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! 💓💞💖💝💞💓(=my love for the game)
This game is so fun! There are definitely some minor things that I am not the happiest with, but I really enjoy playing the game to a point where I can easily overlook the small problems. I love playing all the puzzles and I like how there are LOADS of puzzles, which ensures that I can continue playing this game for a looong time. I also like that everything I am solving part of a larger picture, and seeing the pictures gradually become complete is satisfying to me. I have seen lots of people complaining about the tokens problems, but I have found ways to deal with that, including watching ads, completing past puzzles, and collecting rewards from puzzles and quests. Only occasionally do I have to resort to complete surveys and that sort of thing, because those are often not what they say they are and end up wasting my time. But overall I am fine with how the whole tokens system is set up.Show lessLNK🤙
I’m addicted.
I downloaded this as a “eh, why not” kind of thing, and it was about one third of the way into the summer pack that I broke my own rule and started buying tokens. 20 a day isn’t enough! Up until now I hadn’t spent a dime on apps for nearly a solid year, so congrats on that, haha.
I am seriously hooked on these puzzles, and this app in particular. I’ve tried about five other picross games and they just aren’t as good. I’m glad that they are continuing to add puzzle packs, I’m moving through them so quickly I was starting to think I would eventually beat them all and there wouldn’t be anything left.
One very small complaint I have though, is that sometimes the hint key will tell you that you have a row or column filled in wrong, then when you return to it after a few others, what it said was wrong was actually right. That’s annoying, but beyond that, this is one of the best things I’ve picked up, and it’s great to pass the time with, since I’m out of work due to the world ending right now.Show lesstoribug11
Overall pretty good but has so big downsides
I overall love the game and are addicted to playing it. Only the problems I have with are some of great concern. First, the games level systems are completely weird, sometimes I’ll play an easy level which would end up being harder than a medium level and medium and hard levels are pretty much the same thing.
Second, occasionally when I get my daily tokens, it just doesn’t give them to me. This especially happens when it is at the bigger rewards. Take today, I go to get my daily tokens, the screen pops up and I press collect, the screen goes away and I haven’t gotten my tokens. This really is a problem as tokens are the only way to play a level.
Third, the levels cost way more tokens the. The. The app gives us, without having to resort to paying with real money. As you go through the levels the start to cost more to play, so even go as high as 60 tokens, this usually wouldn’t be a problem for games but in this one it is because they only refill your tokens to 10. You have to find ways to gain the extra 50 tokens. As someone who can’t afford to pay for more, collecting that many could take a pretty long time for just one level.
Even with all it’s downsides I wouldn’t stop playing the game. I just wish they would fix them so I can have more of a good time, instead of a stressful one while playing.Show less24maddy
Only Good for Small Sessions
Let me start out by saying the game itself is very solid. The puzzles are good and range a lot in difficulty. I have had a lot of fun playing.
That said, this game has a fatal flaw that makes it only playable for about 10-15min a day. You will eventually hit a point where the puzzles cost more of the tokens than the game actually allows you to accumulate for free. 10 tokens is the max you can earn without the daily token reward, purchasing more, or watching a 30-45sec advertisement. More than half the puzzles in each collection cost 11+ tokens to unlock. I now only pay this game once in the morning with the daily tokens payout because paying for tokens would be ridiculous with how many other free games just like this exist.
If you just want 1-3 daily puzzles to play for a short period, then this is fine for you to get your fix. However, if you want this to be a puzzle game you can play continuously, then be prepared to fork out money to play because it is impossible to earn enough tokens to even play some puzzles without paying or waiting for your next daily token payout.Show lessDoomkeaper
Great game!
For a while, I found these types of games almost impossible to do because I just had a hard time learning strategies to use while playing them, but now that I know a few tricks I absolutely love them! This one in particular because there are so many that range from super easy to super hard and you can just play forever.. That is if you have enough tokens, which is one of my minor complaints about this game. You can earn hundreds of coins in a short amount of time, but hardly any tokens which you need to unlock each puzzle. It’s kind of annoying because I would play these all day but I constantly run out of tokens and have to wait until the next day for the daily reward or watch a bunch of ads for one token each and you can only watch 8 ads per day as a way to earn tokens. There’s packages you can buy but I play free games because they’re free, not so I can spend money. Especially with how fast the tokens go. The puzzles don’t all cost the same amount of tokens to unlock so they can go pretty quick. So I just open the game every day and earn my tokens to save up for a bit and then play until I run out, and then do the same thing over again. Other than that I love it! If you like these types of puzzle games then you’d really enjoy this game.Show lessl.j.t.n.m.m
Very pleased with this app.
I don’t leave reviews much, if at all. But I will say this game is worth it no matter the reason. It does take tokens to open the puzzles, which in my opinion helps you from blowing through every puzzle pack in no time. I’ll agree tokens are slightly hard to come by, unless you win them from a puzzle completion, or the daily gift. However if you use your coins, you can replay already solved puzzles, you get up to 3 tokens for resolving it. Which to me is nice, if I just need a couple more to open the next piece. Not to mention, occasionally you can watch an ad after completing puzzles to get extra tokens as well. I do have a bunch of coins I don’t know if I’ll ever use up, and sometimes my game does “lag” a bit which can be hard when you’re on a roll. But overall this game is totally worth the time. I’ve been close to completing all the puzzle packs, and then they update and add more packs. So I haven’t run out yet!Show lessxChrista
Addicting but could use some tweaks
I have been playing Picture Cross for about 3 months now. I absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone. I am just VERY frustrated about the tokens, like many others. According to other reviews, the cost of the puzzles accelerate. I agree with changing the way the tokens work and I also do not use my coins. But....the thing that gets me the most is the stupid TAPJOY. It says take a short survey for 53 tokens and I’m like sweet!! I spend 15 miserable minutes complete the survey, press finish, go back to picture cross, and get
0 TOKENS!!! I would like to earn my tokens when I complete things like that. Also I sometimes take a survey that uses personal information and then after like 15 questions it finally says: sorry but you have not qualified for any surveys! If these things were fixed, I would absolutely love this more. OOH last suggestion I think that you should be able to use whatever tokens you have. For instance, if this puzzle costs 20 tokens, but I only have 10, I could put in the 10 I have and wait until I have another 10 to complete the cost. If these things were fixed I would never stop them laying this game!!!
Also, question. Does the 10 tokens recharge every day or do you have to use them?Show lessSumSumSummer03
