MATCHSTICK - matchstick puzzle Wiki

This game reminds me of Crashbox! Anyone remember that show from when they were kids? It was a collection of little games for kids to play along with the TV! My favorite game from that show when I was little was Math Bones. You had to figure out which bones to move around to assemble certain shapes and numbers. This game is kind of like that! Plus, the music is really soothing. This is the only time I would recommend playing with matches!

I put the rating a t five stars just so i can unlock level 2. Im actually gonna rate it three (as i put in the title). Its an OK game, i have to say, but the graphics and movements of the matches are slow and not the best. And idk if its just me, but i think that the levels are WAY too easy and this is some type of puzzle for two year olds!!!! Plz make this game a more challenging or have two game modes (one hard and one easy). Overall this game is....ok.

I loved this game. It took me a while to complete every level, but I eventually did it and it was super satisfying. Only complaint is the annoying ads at the end of completed levels. I usually just had to exit the app so I could continue on to the next stage. Ads almost ruined the game for me, but once I got pretty far, I was too invested to quit.

Yes, this is a really nice puzzle game. I like the fact that it gives you hints and junk. But the part that could improve is the fact that there is many ways to solve the puzzle and It only wants a certain way. If it was okay with all the ways to solve the puzzles it would be way nicer😊

I’m on level 29 so far it’s fun and easy but Ik it’s going to get challenging the More I play I can’t wait I love being challenged and having to think and my mind being stimulated I love games that make me think...!! The only issue I have is it’s plagued with ads every level is an ad. I haven’t been able to continue thru a level without an ad. I do understand that since it’s free the ads have to be there but this many ads us ridiculous. If this game was more fun and exciting I would pay for the full game but so far it isn’t worth me buying.! I have played games and stopped playing them becuz of ads n those games were way more fun than this one...!!! This game isn’t worth me buying and isn’t worth me playing for free either if the ads keep comin the way they do...!! I can only take so much before I just delete the whole game...!!

The levels that we solve are fun but challenging. I’m currently on level 2 stage 8 and I’m loving it. There is a majority issue though. There is only one way to solve each level. Now you may think that is not such an issue but i do. It makes the player confined to one way and one way only. It makes us think that different is good and it deeply frustrates me. There has been multiple levels that I have completed the adjective but didn’t pass the level. Like on level 2 stage 7 I had moved 1 matchstick to have 6 triangles but I didn’t pass it? Deeply confused I used a hint and it showed me a different way to complete it and it passed it for me??? This is just wrong on so many levels. I hope my feedback will improve your game and that you won’t just ignore it.

This game is ok and I’m even ok with the amount of ads In the game. One problem I have is there are some ads that appear on your screen that can’t be closed. These ads appear as a tap over your game and there is no X to get out of it. The only way to get out of it is by restarting the game. There is a close button in the corner of these ads but when you press it it asks you what was wrong with the ad. It gives you 3-5 choices:ad was inappropriate, not interested, ad was irrelevant, seen this ad multiple times, and ad covered content. No matter what you pick the ad will disappear and instead say ad closed by google and won’t leave. When this happens I can’t play the game and end up restarting it.

Pros: • The animation that shows each of the shapes in the solution is a really nice and satisfying feature. • The graphics are really clear: it’s obvious where matches can be placed and where they’ve been removed, but the matches themselves are quite distinct from that. • The variety of matchhead colours and music is a nice touch. • There are some puzzles that require moving matches, some that require adding them, and some that require removing them. There are also both shape and math puzzles. Not all matchstick puzzle apps have that variety. • There are 500 puzzles! Cons: • The puzzles are too easy. I have yet to hear more than a few seconds of any of the music because I solve each puzzle so quickly. • I’d like to see the puzzles separated into different categories (shape vs math, move vs add vs remove). • What are the coins for? I’ve yet to figure that out. And why would I want to buy more when they don’t appear to have any purpose? • The app is probably twice the size that it could be with a bit of optimisation. I rarely have a lot of free memory on my phone, and bloated apps don’t help.

This is a good game if you like a challenge and are ok with ads. For me, I do not like ads and if something is way too hard for me to figure out in under 10 minutes, I loose my patience. There are so many puzzles that it should take 5 minutes max on each one. There are hints of you need them but there are a limited number and you can only get more by choosing to watch an ad when the chance comes up. Overall, I don’t like it much but other people might.

There are two main issues with this game. Level progression and ads. Sadly like many mobile games nowadays this game is littered with ads. Every 5 levels will provide you with an ad (to the credit of the devs, most ads are skippable after a short while). This obviously isn’t as bad as some similar games that provide ads after 2-4 levels but it still is a bit too frequent. The biggest issue though is level progression. When you progress you expect puzzles to get harder and harder. That concept is thrown out the window in this game. All forms of levels with varying difficulties are just carelessly tossed together. Having gotten past the first set of 50 levels and moving on to the next one there was seemingly no difference between the levels and no apparent reason why they were sectioned off as such. This is a game that you think is going to be interesting but you end up deleting it 30 minutes later and writing a review like this about it.

The idea is fun - matchstick puzzles are classic and engaging brain teasers. The problem with with game is that they propose a problem (“move 1 matchstick to create 4 squares”) then only have programmed in one potential answer when several exist. So you’re left going through 6 equally correct answers (since no other rules or hierarchy has been outlined) until you find the one they’ve decided is correct. It’s incredibly frustrating and arbitrary, and the game quickly loses its appeal with this major flaw.

This game has some problems that I’ve noticed while playing it. In these type of brain/skill games you would of course expect it to get harder as you progress along, right. No, in this game you’ll complete the first 50 levels and then you go onto the next set, and then it shows you a different type of puzzle but yet it’s easier than the 50 levels in the first set. Also in this game another issue is the amount of ads shown in an amount of time. Example: you’ll do say 2-5 levels it shows up an ad. I would say at least every 10 levels they should do an ad but not that frequent. I’m pretty sure when we play these type of games we all want to play the game and not get caught up in a whole bunch of ads. Another problem is how you do the level. What I mean by that is say you do it in a way where it still has 6 triangles or whatever, well I do that all the time but it doesn’t let go on to the next level. And when this happens it’s really frustrating why it won’t let you go onto the next level. This also means that the way people think is different from the creator which means the creator doesn’t understand how other people think and you can only do it the way they think it should be done.

This game is not challenging at all and considering it is littered with ads that you can not skip brain games are supposed to be hard and force you to use hints and so far I haven’t had to use any and I skip levels but I have to go back if I wanna get to harder challenges I know this might be hard for other people but I just want a hard brain game to allow me to relax and have fun but considering I have to close the game every level I don’t really wanna play it anymore and forcing me to write a review and rate it is not better either I have to go back and do levels or I have to rate it and the worse part is you have to buy a no ad if you wanna have fun I will not so you can fix the game and make it harder and it’s not even better that my 5 yr old brother can do it

I just started playing the game ,I had just gotten to question 8 when I realized that on lots of the questions there were multiple ways to solve the problem but the game only excepts one of the ways for example: on question 8 it says remove one matchstick to create 3 squares and you can do that 9 ways you can remove a matchstick from one side of a square or a matchstick from another side of a different square or of the other square and so on but the game only excepts one of the ways to solve the problem.
