Puppy Link - Tile Connect

[h1]A cozy matching tile game that has cute puppies. ^^[/h1] [h2]Introduction[/h2] [i]Puppy Link - Tile Connect[/i] is a mahjong solitaire, cozy puzzle game developed and published by ZT-Studio. You're given a total of 300 levels, with 100 levels for small-sized boards, 100 levels for medium-sized boards, and 100 levels for large-sized boards. In each level, you have to match two of the same picture tiles, but there are specific ways of doing so. Basically, you have to be able to connect the tiles in a logical manner. You can choose from either normal mode in which you have a limited number of hints and have to complete a level within a certain specified time in order to get a star or easy mode, which gives you unlimited hints and you can take as much time as you want. Also, there's a relaxing, lo-fi soundtrack, and you can customize you game wallpaper from among several options. Of course, plenty of Steam achievements are available, but they won't count towards a user's global total until the game is out of "profile features limited".

At this point, no. But I believe it can be better. This is a cozy designed game with cute puppies and background. Main problem: Based on the playing, you will get board in 1 hour and feel to tired to reopen it. It's just 300 levels with three sizes of the board. No special design for levels changes, such as drop or move, color change, link to 3 or 4, it's easy to get bored. Other small things can be improved: - You can stop the music by clicking the ||, however, it will replay automatically when you enter the next level. There is a requirement of getting a crown for each level which related to the time spent, meaning you can use fewer than 60 seconds to pass an easy level. Replaying music automatically is not necessary - The changes of the background can also related to the background when playing/ The change of color can reduce the use of eyes.

EDITED: The dev responded & put out an update to fix the accessibility issues by adding a low stress "Cozy Mode", which I feel is very appropriate for the type of game this is and do appreciate. I think different difficulty levels in the future may be a good idea, since it seems like there's a big jump between having to complete a level in under 90 seconds and not having any timers at all, but am happy with the quick response and that, despite the heavy reliance on AI (which I'm ethically grossed out by and, again, wouldn't have bought this if I had noticed the note that was definitely there but I just missed), there is an actual person working on the development that cares about the player experience, so I am updating the review. _____________________ Got this not knowing how involved AI was in the making of it so that's definitely on me & I'll check better for that in the future, but also the game is completely unbalanced (as are the achievements) and I believe that's heavily caused by the involvement of AI in the development of it. The time limit goals for each level are ridiculous with how the tiles & game work, even on the smallest levels/maps - it took this from a cozy, …
