Slices: Relax Puzzle Game

I don’t typically write reviews of games or apps but I felt that this game was definitely worthy of a positive review as I was shocked by all of the negative reviews! I haven’t experienced issues with too many adds or frequent crashing of the app so I can’t speak to that but, I think people just love to troll and write negative reviews. People seem to have a lot of courage when they’re sitting behind a computer, tablet or phone screen. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I love this game because it can be very relaxing yet challenging. I also enjoy the simplicity of the game. The designs of the “slices” are quirky, creative, and colorful. I love to play this game when I’m trying to wind down before bed! As relaxing as it is, it can become very addictive and challenging if you’re a competitive person! I feel like I could play this game for hours on end (if only I had the time)! The only thing missing is the ability to choose the design of the slices. Sometimes I get stuck on a level with a design that I don’t like and get frustrated because I know that I would find the game more relaxing if I could choose the design of slices. I hope this is something you’d consider in a future update! I’ve seen many other reviewers suggest the same thing and I think that it will only make the game better. Thank you for a great game as it is one of my favorites! 👍🏼

I don’t reviewing apps but after reading how many people feel this is an “Ad Trap” I thought I would. I don’t have a problem with the ads simply for the fact that you have an option to “kill” it after only watching a few seconds. I don’t think I’ve ever had to watch a full add. I agree with the one reviewer that it should be easy to win each puzzle if you prioritize the circles; however, I realize the pieces are randomly generated and sometimes you get the same piece so many times there isn’t a move left. The game does give you a little hammer which you can use every so often when you see a piece coming that will cause you to lose. Either people are not paying attention to the next piece or they’ve already smashed a piece and are waiting for the hammer to regenerate. I’m on level 42 and I’ve only been playing a little while and have used the hammer once. So for those who find it impossible after level 5, you’re obviously not placing your pieces in the best order. I too get frustrated that I can be so close to completing a level only to have that ONE piece screw me over, but that’s what keeps me coming back. If it were so easy to win then nobody would play.

This isn’t a puzzle game, yet its being advertised as one. I even paid for this, because the ads were just too crazy terrible, and the first couple rounds were simple and fun. But once you get about 5 rounds in, it becomes apparent that the pieces spawn in a completely random (or worse, intentionally impossible) order that forces you to lose the round. A puzzle game provides a set round with a set way to solve it. You can even tell these rounds are just a random set of pieces because when you fail and start over, it’s an entirely different round! It just gets insanely frustrating when you get far in a round, and then you’re presented 7 of the same piece in a row and you automatically lose, no matter how you played any others piece the entire rest of the game. There’s also no satisfaction to finishing one round, because it’s not like you managed to get the placement right, figured out the puzzle, get to move on to another one. Because like I said, even if you fail the round, you’re given a totally new one regardless of if you technically advance or not. The ads in this game are as awful as everyone says. But the game itself is only $3, so if you enjoy it, I personally think that’s a very reasonable trade off to just pay for it. It’s not loaded with micro transactions or a monthly fee, just the one time $3. So if you can tolerate this to level 7 (just to be safe), just pay for it.

Pretty good. Yes, a lot of ads, but there’s a one-time 3$ option to remove them, and if you can’t spend 3$ on an app you enjoy I’m not sure why you even have a smart phone. As far as the RNG, this I don’t mind either. I’ve gotten past level 30, there are some basic tricks to it, but it’s also like any card game: Chance is involved, and you just have to deal with that. If it wasn’t it’d be based on memorization and a lot of trial and error, and to me that’s just a drag. So I like the game, and there’s also daily challenges that require a different strategy to change things up. One thing I will say is I wish they’d change the leveling system. Each level gets harder and harder, until you need 500 points or more to advance to the next level. This is fine as far as it goes...but eventually you get stuck, as your chance of randomly getting the right piece combinations gets very slim mathematically. And then you’re staring at the same pattern forever and ever. I’d suggest maybe varying the number of points needed, or maybe adding a way to reset your levels or randomize the pattern—so you can still feel you’re advancing and get to look at different things.

Have you ever been doing 60 on a highway only to roll into a small town and have the speed limit suddenly drop to 30 or less? The police in these towns are always prepared for those who don’t slow down in time. They immediately set after you, blue lights ablaze. These towns are often commonly referred to as “speed traps” Well, this game is an Ad Trap. I noticed as I was playing the game doesn’t correct itself for overdoing it on the repeat pieces. So I took my time and thought carefully about the placement of every single piece to ensure I wasn’t missing some way of solving the puzzle. No, even when the utmost care is taken to place every piece in exactly the right order and fill to completion as many circles as possible you can end a round with a score of 35 and nowhere else to put your right angled 1/6th of the pie. After you end a round by losing you’re given the option to play an Ad to continue or click the small x to start over. You’ll be played an Ad no matter which you choose. Click the home button instead? Ad. You will sometimes lose the same round 8 or 9 times even when planning your every move. I am convinced this is simply for the ad value. What could have been a very fun game and still has a great concept is absolutely ruined by the obscene number of unnecessary advertisements.
