Sea of Squares

After much game play under my belt, I can tell you that there IS strategy involved if you want to play that way. You can expect that, as you remove blocks, the remaining blocks will shift down (think gravity), and/or to the left. When you flip the 3D image upside down and then remove blocks, the remaining blocks STILL shift from the top down (with gravity), and to the left. So, part of the strategy is, when you see blocks to remove, you position that 3D image so that more matches will occur when blocks adjust. And you can predict the adjustment because, in the view you’re looking at, the blocks will shift down and/or left.

The idea of finding same colored objects that touch in a 3D space is really cool but the logic of making selections should be 3D as well. Sometimes I can select a match that wraps/connects around to another axis and sometimes I can't. What!?!?! This inconsistency is really frustrating! At first I thought maybe it is because I saw it then rotated the connection out of view, which kind of makes sense in a lame way. But I've tested and I can often rotate to a view where I can see both axis and sometimes it clears both sides and sometimes it clears only the axis I touch. Grrrrr! I can understand not giving me bonus connections that aren't visible yet, but why all inconsistency? Really I wish it would give me the bonus and all, if I was lucky enough to click on a group when it matches to hidden colors, bonus! But instead the logic doesn't act consistently and so it's pointless to try and plan moves and therefore frustrating to play this game when it tricks me. I'm deleting it!

Sea of Squares is great for anxiety and worry. One thing, though—I’m an arachnophobe. There are plenty of us out here. The two spiders are so realistic they’re difficult for me to get through. Once they’re unlocked I can go on to the rest of the puzzles on that level forever. But once for each level is terrifying. I would like to see a new puzzle added once in a while, but Sea of Squares is good the way it is. Um, but please do something about those terrifying spiders.

To be objective I HAD enjoyed this game very much, one of my favorites. The 3D graphics and the ability to manipulate the blocks in all directions, zooming in and out when necessary, made the challenge all the better. However... the new update was disappointing and frustrating solely because ALL past progress was deleted. This app could have easily been modified by adding more puzzles/features without wiping the slate clean. I can only conclude the village idiot got hold of this before it launched, as I can't think of any reason why the developers would want to encourage and practically beg consumers to dish out negative public reviews. Heads up, idiot, not everyone likes to be FORCED to start all over again. One star for VERY POOR forethought .

First off, I like the game, but am annoyed by one gotcha. I have medium-large fingers and it often, when I’m eliminating smaller bundles of squares to get a larger one, I have to zoom out enough to get to some of the squares. With the squares now small, it becomes much more difficult to hit the desired bundle. I often then accidentally hitting one of the squares I’m trying to build up and the large bundle is eliminated and that is frustrating. What I’d like to see is the ability to pan as well as zoom and rotate.
