Tangrams app good for
Im not sure whats with the negative reviews. Its not OK to release a competing product? Strange.
Anyway, I tried the other tangram games currently available on the iPhone and I liked Brians best. Some of my favorite things: Clean uncluttered graphics, lots of puzzles, doesnt force you into portrait mode, hints, and tap to rotate.
Itd be nice to have the ability to chose your next puzzle, rank your puzzle completion time, and adjust the puzzle piece tolerance, but hey, thats what updates are for :-)
This is a great app but the puzzles are rather easy. Also they have the same number of each piece for every puzzle. I guess thats how its supposed to be but they could add their own spin on it and mix up the number of each piece for some puzzles
I have been waiting for a Tangrams app to come to the App Store and I just bought this one today and I am really happy with it. I have a few suggestions for how to make this great app even better (that I have already shared with the developer and he has generously agreed to consider them for future updates):
(1) Some gameplay music would be very good (with an option to turn off if needed). I know that you could play your own music while playing the game but I still feel that some gameplay music would be fun.
(2) It would be good to have some sound effects when rotating the pieces and when putting a piece in the right place (with an option to turn off if needed).
(3) Right now, when trying to align a piece in the given shape, I feel that the auto-fit mechanic could be a bit better.
(4) It would be very useful to have a dedicated way to get the hints without having to go to the main menu to do the same.
Overall, a very good port of an excellent game !
As a game, this will really challenge you. It is worth every cent. A recomendation would be to add a nice background would make it a perfect one.
If you like puzzles, Tangrams is a must-have! Seriously, get it. Its a lot of fun and I think the price is fair. I reviewed this app on my site and couldnt find anything wrong with it which is very rare.
Im not really sure that this game actually has over 400 puzzles b/c Ive been seeing the same puzzles and its getting on my nerves
Other than that this game is pretty good
Some bad moments
When you cant select the shape you want 400 seems excessive. I get no sense of progression. I even saw the same shape come up twice, are there even 400? Or do I need to keep hitting the new button and hope I get lucky. Moving shapes around often obscured other shapes. Tapping to rotate feels tedious. The grid is not a bad idea, but you need to be way too precise when placing your tans. The tan shapes I saw so far seem way too easy. Nearly all of the are obvious from the beginning, not much challenge.
So far it is way too easy, Im hoping it gets more difficult. I also have problems with the small triangles. They are difficult to move around.
