User reviews

OK

I finally finished Lines On Sides. Level 29 is much too difficult, in fact, it’s the hardest one because the mechanic is hard to understand. If it had been possible to skip that level and go back to it after getting a better understanding of how the sliding mechanic works, I probably would not have spent many many hours solving level 29 and getting very frustrated in the process. It took me at least 5 times longer to solve level 29 than it did to complete all the other puzzles.

Many developers force you to solve puzzles in sequence. I have never liked this approach. If developers allowed puzzles to be skipped and retried later there would be fewer frustrated players who dislike their game. Being able to completely forget what you have already tried because you’ve been analyzing something new, while gaining more experience in the process, allows the player to use a fresh approach when retrying a puzzle they have skipped.

Response from developer

I had to add some tips to this mechanic because it turned out to be the most difficult to understand. A game update with a hint to this mechanic is waiting for a review. In the meantime, a few tips on what conditions must be met to be able to connect colorful tiles: 1. One of the tiles must be on the platform (merging / separation) of colors. 2. On both tiles must be two rows or two columns of the same colors - it depends if you want to merge them vertically or horizontally. 3. If you want to merge colors, both tiles must have rows of colors in parallel to each other. I hope I helped. :)

No Hint Feature

It gets frustrated not having any hint feature. I was stuck on level 23rd for long time.

Response from developer

It's great that you didn't give up. :)

Fun at first

And then the new mechanic comes in and I just don’t get it, even with the in game explanation. I got to level 23 and gave up. I understand that the developer wants to let us figure it out, and I enjoy a lot of other puzzle games with no instructions, but this is not fun anymore. Bummed.

Response from developer

Try to play with the tiles e.g. on level 20 to better understand the mechanics, then try to pass level 23.

Smiley Face

I completed all 51 levels. Great puzzle game. #29, 39 were tough!

Response from developer

Thank you! :)

Needs navigation

Difficult and intriguing puzzle, needs navigation to see progress. I’m up to level 50. How many levels are there?

Response from developer

You are close to the end. There are 51 levels. Thanks for playing. :)
