Line Loops - Logic Puzzles

Multiple solutions, so not a true logic puzzler. Also, too linear. You unlock sets of puzzles, but you have to do them in order, so getting stuck on a couple of levels can create a bottleneck.

[b]Line Loops: Logic Puzzles[/b] asks the question: "What happens when I don't know how to do my math homework, so I try to turn it into a game instead?". The answer: You fail. Fortunately, the game doesn't. [b][u]The Good[/u][/b]: [list] [*]Kid-friendly-Silent-Hill OST. [*]The tutorials give some good hands-on practice with the game's concepts and show different ways to utilize them. [*]4 daily puzzles that are different difficulties. [*]Infinity mode.

[*]There are settings for sound, language, fullscreen/windowed, resolution, texture quality, and anti-aliasing. [*]You must earn enough stars to purchase more levels as you progress. [/list] [b][u]The Bad[/u][/b]: [list] [*]This may come off ass nitpicking, but the level completion sounds don't mesh with the ominous OST. They're a bit too positive sounding. [*]The pink and yellow levels make me think of ham and cheese. [*]If you wish to 100% the game, there is an achievement for completing 2,000 [i]unique[/i] puzzles.

Straight forward great game. Lots of levels.

[u]In short:[/u] Line Loops is a barely adequate puzzle game building on Slitherlink's rules but with its own twist. Sadly that twist is lack of information, making most levels open-endend with multiple solutions and few forced moves. While I would have preferred more hard-logic and while the UI is in dire need of improvements, the absolute boatload of content (1485 pre-made levels, daily levels, infinite mode) and the incredibly cheap price make this an easy recommendation (check out the bundle), especially if you don't plan on 100%ing it. [u]In long:[/u] This is based on the popular hard-logic puzzle Slitherlink by Nikoli (basic rules can be found on [url=https://www.nikoli.co.jp/en/puzzles/slitherlink/]their webiste[/url]). There's a board of squares, some squares contain numbers denoting how many edges of the square you're supposed to draw, and your end goal is to fill the board satisfying all clues with a single unbroken loop. In terms of [b][u]gameplay[/u][/b] Line Loops uses all the same basic mechanics, but it is very much not a clone. For starters not all moves are forced; levels usually have multiple valid solutions. If you expect a hard-logic puzzle in the vein of Sli…

Holy hell! If somebody told me a few weeks ago that I would log over 56 hours trying to 100% a puzzle game I would never believe them. Now I will have nightmares about these numbers, lines, and funny little shapes. This game is addictive, and you must complete 2000 puzzles to 100% it (yes, you read correctly... two thousand!). I loved the game but at the same time, I am so so glad I am done with it.

Fun and simple, difficulty has random spikes, but worth it
