The game has ~144 levels with a checkpoint in every ~6 levels. [b]Pros:[/b] - ~144 levels - Hotkeys - You can solve most levels in any way that you want [b]Cons:[/b] - You need to read the hint to learn how to play the game and the hint button is hidden well - No confirmation button on exiting the game and it's easy to click the button by accident - Some levels look similar - Options are reset when you save manually [h1]Should you buy this game?[/h1] [b]No.[/b] [i]There are better games out there. Don't bother buying this game.[/i] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [h1]In-Depth Review[/h1] [h1]Graphics[/h1] The presentation of this game is horrible. It's clear that art isn't the dev's strong point and he doesn't even bother to hide it; every object is there for the sake of functionality without any consideration of artistic value. Even the hint button, which is …

Very poorly optimised game, was running at 25 fps max on a 4080 lol; I've played a few really bad games on steam, but I think this one is close to the rank of the 'worst game I've ever played'; no clear instructions, just know to make the green blocks solid you need to right click to turn them red. I normally try to rate these shovel-ware games positively if I can somewhat enjoy it slightly and can appreciate the graphics, or optimisation, which in this case is neither. Please be warned!

Not fun!

Merri Puzzle is yet another construction kit template copy+paste from serial shovelware pushers, SA Industry. These guys do nothing but copy premade game templates and game tutorials, or just get a hold of entire asset packs or abandoned source code from other people's games, fill out a few things/stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into cheap nasty shovelware game bundles as cash grabs. Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates, assets... at best, this is shovelware, at worst, it's a scam/cash grab. I'm going with the latter for this one, it's a basic mobile app/Flash style physics puzzle where you get to place blocks on the level screen to guide the ball to the target. Usually these are done by letting you draw lines on your iPhone screen to form barriers, but this spin on the same old refrain doesn't make it better at all... this doesn't come across as a serious PC game and considering it's from SA Industry, known review manipulators and asset flip scammers, gamers must rightfully be wary. Merriman Games/SA Industry have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumpi…

At first levels this game makes you think outside the box a little, than it becomes the rule. It has a lot of levels but after a few of them you just get bored.

Merri Puzzle | 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑 1/5 Your usual run of the mill basic physics puzzle game. Has some unique ideas but overall most of the levels are just repetition. The latter of which are pure tedium. Avoid.
