### 5/5 — Simple but satisfying!

*2019-12-03*

The best puzzle games have simple rules with mind challenging solutions. The app design is clean and elegant. I appreciate how they’ve implemented ads such that I get to decide with the push of a button whether or not I want to view them! It’s always clear what is the Embergram game and what is an ad. Thank You!!

### 5/5 — A twist on an old favorite.

*2019-11-30*

I love logic puzzles where you have to solve the thermometer puzzle using the numbers on the top and side of the graph or nonograms that create beautiful pictures.  This is a twist on those favorites.  You need to figure out how the matches will burn but the matches bend and create new challenges while you figure that out.  We are all addicted to this at our house!  It’s so rewarding when you get to the end of the puzzle and all the matches burn at once.

### 5/5 — Embergram rocks!

*2019-11-25*

This game is like a pictorial Sudoku, without all the mental math! Try the first few 4x4 puzzles, and you’ll be hooked.
