This was a pretty decent distraction, although a couple of the puzzles were a little obtuse.

I don't know why building a 5-story Raft floating in the ocean and rarely seeing anything other than floating wood is so damn compelling... but it is. I'm starting to hit what I assume is the endgame and do wish there were more here but... I expect future updates will help with that.

A nice (albeit short) puzzle game. Took me slightly over an hour to complete but it's super cheap so I feel like that's fine. Intriguing concept, would love a sequel/more levels through DLC.

TL;DR Overall a fairly solid puzzle game. 200 puzzles total, 100 of each type. Both feature multiple colors, although the colors only are a mechanic in the Fill-A-Pix type. In my opinion there's enough value here for the price (I got at least $0.50/hr). The game is not without its issues, though.

One of the first things you'll notice is the "give us your email" popup. This made me very angry, given the price of the game, since it seemed like you couldn't turn it off, only "not right now". The third popup, however, does give you that option. 3 annoying popups, meh, it could be worse.

The puzzle difficulty was pleasing to me, rarely being too easy (only the first 10-20 are 'very easy') and rarely being frustrating. That doesn't mean I didn't make a large number of mistakes causing me to restart puzzles, which brings me to my one major complaint:

As a Red/Green color blind person, I struggled quite a bit with the Pic-A-Pix puzzles. The colors used for completed numbers in the clues were sometimes so hard to see that it caused mistakes. Also, squares marked as empty are faded into a colored translucent square, which also was hard to distinguish at times from other colored parts of the puzzles. Crossed out clues and the use of 'X's for empty squares (perhaps as an optional color blind mode) would be VERY appreciated.

Other issues: Despite the appearance of a story, it is basically 10 locations on a map, each with a slight blurb about that location before the first puzzle. Don't expect anything in regards to story. Also, these random locations are not in any way marked with the exception of a name. If you quit the game and come back, it can be frustrating trying to remember which location you were working on. Click a location, see all the puzzles are complete, back out to the map. Click another... rinse and repeat until you find the right one. A simple checkmark or "path" or even a basic story you'd remember enough to know where you are would be great here.
