Puzzles are pretty big on handhelds as it's always on the go and seems great. Doing puzzles with some random person seems weird but it works with Dreii which is labeled as a cross play as well as cross buy. Vita players can play with PS4 players and so forth and let me say that some REQUIRE a team to complete which may or may not be a problem. It is developed by Etter Studio in collaboration with Bitforge and is on pretty much every console and mobile device and if you could sync players from iOS, steam and Playstation, I bet it could be easier to find players.
The gameplay is pretty original with the game making a avatar for you randomly and also know there is no start menu so the action begins after it loads which is pretty quick and gameplay is pretty smooth. I do have another issue and it deals with the chat portion which is done great which you can use a menu to say hey or help but the color of it is white/grey as the words are white which makes it hard to see them. The amount of players is 3 and after you complete a level you go straight to the next level unless it branches off then you can select which one to pick. The level select menu moves with where you're moving to which makes it hard to notice where you are at so it takes a bit to get use to.
Controls work great with you moving the dot with the analog and just pressing X and then you just move it to where you need to and press X again. The other analog stick brigs up the chat menu and those are the controls. As you go deeper into the game the worlds which there is five of them each start getting themes like water, magnet which makes the peices stick together and wind. Now to complete a level is to get the white pieces or piece to the white glowing dot ( there is more colors than white I assure you) though you may get more dots and pieces may fall down so don't think you're done until you know it when the screen goes purple.
The game is original and has a very neat concept but my problem is that with the later part of the game needing other players to complete, what if you wait forever to get a player or players to help you? The game is great and when it works it works and don't get me wrong you can beat levels by yourself but I reccomend playing with wifi on and if you don't have wifi you may need to find a different puzzler.
Score 8.0 out of 10
+ Graphics are simple and works with the overall concept
Original style
Play with random people if connected
- Chat menu colors bland together making it hard to read
puzzles NEEDING people in order to complete
The level select menu moves with you and not in a good way
