Woodoku

Can't put it down. Lots of strategy. Lots of ads, too, which is a bummer. Hogs battery, but I still love it. Especially that it doesn't have a time limit on plays.

I love this game. Initially, I was going to write that I had zero complaints until I read some other reviews and I agree with what someone else mentioned: that it would be nice to know where I stand. Is my score good or bad? I would not mind if there was just a chart where I could judge myself but better yet, would be knowing where I compare to others. And better yet it would be nice to know where I compare to others and a breakdown of age groups (or some other breakdown: education level? Etc.) I did also like the idea of being able to collect the tokens and trade them in for something. As for the pieces not being random as some say, I have not run into that issue, they appear random to me. And what incentive for the developer is it to not have random pieces? I do not see any reason. Overall, it is an addictive game and I really enjoy playing. The ads are short so they really are not a hassle. Thank you!

I have been playing this game for many years. What I like most about it is that it is just like Sudoku. It really changes the brain to make you think of every possibility. I would recommend a delete one shape each game like a skip button? Sometimes it is literally impossible to use all shapes even though you have plenty of room left. One thing that annoyed me was seeing an ad for this game. It was a diamond shape trying to fit all the shapes into the diamond and fitting so many increases your IQ. This game is NOTHING like that. It is completely false advertisement. Plus, why do a fake ad for a truly awesome game. The ad has nothing to do with the OKU of Woodoku. Please don’t be one of those apps

I adore this game. It's a simple and relaxing puzzle game. I much prefer the "journey" section than just the free mode. I need some sort of goal, like things to collect. I feel a little bit annoyed that they reset so often because I lose the satisfaction of beating the journeys before they end. I'd rather just have one super long journey that doesn't change or end with a few thousand levels. My only complaint is there is no way for me to remove ads.

I really enjoy this game. I find it stimulating and fun. A great pass time, BUT it has way too many ad breaks that take away from the experience. After each round, you get a game ad and it's super annoying. I don't think that I experienced this when I first downloaded the game, but after having it for maybe a week, the ads are becoming increasingly annoying.

It’s a very addicting game, but also frustrating. I agree with the last reviewer totally. As the game progresses, it refuses to give you even one shape you need to keep going. It boxes you in. As the game progresses and the space gets tight, it never gives you the small shapes you need to clear an area to keep going. I can always tell when I’m screwed. Once I get to about 700 points it starts giving me the opposite of what I need and starts giving me 4 or 5 block diagonal shapes etc. I have never started a fresh game and been given a diagonal shape. If it were truly random I assume I’d get a variety of shapes throughout the game. I also notice anytime I need an L shape or a single block deep into the game I never get those. It’ll give me a backwards L that I can’t use over and over. If you play it enough you’ll notice right away.

I really do love this game! It can be frustrating at times but totally satisfying when your pieces align correctly. I’ve been playing this game on and off for a year or so, and there’s one thing I can’t wrap my head around: what is the purpose of the gem collection and the journeys? I think it would be really cool if you could trade your earned gems or journey awards for a specific block during a game…you know a shape of your choosing. And I understand that diminishes the challenge a little and takes away from the “randomness”, but it would really increase each player’s personal satisfaction. Let’s be honest here, those are what others reviews have reported being the most frustrating and annoying… It seems like the biggest complain from other players is the ads. Is there a paid version that you can buy or subscribe to that turns those off? Also, I’d like to see how I rate with other players. It shows you your personal scores, but I’m curious what other people’s high scores are. My best score 1787, but is that a low score in the grand scheme of the game or a high score? Anyway, I still love the game and will keep playing it regardless!

This is an addictive app. I have different versions. I like the brain challenge, but it is so annoying when the game freezes for 5-10 seconds and I can not move any of the pieces. Often I have to restart the game. I’ve tried closing and reloading, doing a forced shutdown of the iPad, but nothing helps. What causes it to freeze when it’s time to move a piece? Also, the number and frequency of ads is so annoying! And some games like Brains n Balls don’t have a “silent” button, and so can’t play this in bed or anywhere while waiting! Why not offer a paid version w/out ads? Let us buy it once, not a monthly charge. Also, I HATE all the FAT ads! They are not true and there is no pill that can create those results. PLEASE eliminate these ads!

I only play the Daily Challenge because the rest of those games are programmed with that deviant algorithm which is set against you. If it were simply random shapes thrown at you then I would still have these other issues of the lack of smooth sailing. The game picks and chooses when to let you touch and drag a piece often resulting in misplaced plays because you don’t always just ‘miss’ a drag but a late drag sometimes. You notice halfway through a drag that your piece hadn’t moved soyou raise your finger to go back and suddenly the piece runs over to where you lifted your finger and I often get games where every piece placed takes an additional three seconds to settle into its position. I rarely get a smoothly played game. If this game were a car then I would be claiming the Lemon Law and if it were a horse I could legally and humanly shoot it. But, alas, all that I may do is delete it. I already only play a tenth if games offered so the last step IS to delete. If I had to pick just one issue for them to properly program then it would have to be the touch and drag issues. Very Frustrating. Oh, and the false advertising that brought me to this app in the first place, there are no cat shapes or any other shapes but a square play board to play upon. Bait and switch, folks. Go Back, Go Back. This ain’t the game they advertised! Cheers

First, to different on a mobile game not recording to ads or videos. I saw a YouTuber play it and they said it was great so, I downloaded it to see the fuss and how great it was but, as expected it was not even close on how good the YouTuber said it was so I was dissatisfied. Want to know something that’s upsetting? Ads are not even close to what the game is and it gets to hard after levels, very upsetting. Second, the good thing about this is that it was fun for a while then, the hard thing happened and got me VERY upset so I don’t recommend this but after all is decent not terrible or bad it’s not the vibe at all, as I’m writing a whole paragraph your opinion is probably “why write a whole book when it’s not terrible or great.” Well I’m doing this so you have an honest opinion on this game and what I think of it. Third, it could use more work then this, this is bad quality and I’m trying to write it in a good way which is difficult. I really think they could of spend more time on it and made it easier on levels higher then 8-10. As I was saying this game is not bad or great it is actually surprisingly good! Work harder but other then that great work. ❤️

The game itself is fun. I've played it a lot since download. There is a daily game challenge, a regular game and a journey game where gems are collected. The downside is all of the ads. There is an ad after each game. Some are easy to skip after a few seconds and some are difficult to get out of. If you can't click the X in the right place, it takes you to the ad website. I've had to close everything and re-open the game. Probably won't keep game loaded.

I didn't read the reviews before I downloaded the game and started enjoying it. The ads quickly become very annoying. I rarely actually pay for an app, but was looking for the pay option in order to play without ads, only to find there is none! Hey developers, looks like there's demand for a game we can purchase without ads. Hope you hear our cries!
