Linko - Relaxing Loop 4+

It’s a simple game, I progressed through the first 70 levels with ease and within an hour, there are a lot of patterns that make it easy to solve and go through this game in a puzzle standard.

If you are looking to this game for something to challenge you and be complex and puzzle like, it’s not great, but if you are looking for a casual puzzle game that passes the time or allows you to just get into the focus for a bit it’s great.

Ads are limited, always have an X and rarely disallow skipping. Feels like what mobile games used to be before the large marketization of apps with ads every 3 seconds.

Overall I give this game a 7/10, but that’s more for the lack of challenging puzzles and it doesn’t bring in new mechanics after about the first 50 levels. It’s a shame but I do recommend it to anyone wanting the things I am simply not pursuing with a puzzle game!

Played 12 levels and got an ad. Not bad, played 2 levels, got an ad. Mmm, not so good. Played another 2 levels, another ad. Tried two more, ad. And now deleted. I get the ad thing but too many is a turn off. Plus the game was too easy.

This game is great for waiting. On a train? Doctors appointment? Cake in the oven? Play this game. The thing that’s so great about it is that it isn’t blasting you with overstimulating colours- so, you aren’t too-hooked on, but you don’t get bored after 5 minutes because your brain is only on semi-autopilot.. if that makes sense. There are barely any ads, and if there are any, it’s so you can get free hints. Speaking of which, I love that if you’re struggling, instead of immediately going to get hints, you try for at least 10 minutes before doing it just because it’s annoying to watch a 30-second ad. The levels are challenging, but not so challenging that you quit the game after a week once getting to something hard- at max, it’ll take 15 minutes to do a real hard one. Usually, I’m not a fan of minimalism, but the way this game is designed is just so satisfying. The only thing I’d change is probably making some more game modes, because honestly the only one that I consistently enjoy is the “draw” thing.

Either way, I’ve never written a review for an app before until now, so it says a lot. Props to the devs!
