Nodes: Calm Puzzle Game 4+

I was crushed when NYT cancelled Vertex. Looked for a replacement app and did not find this until recently. So happy I did. Isn’t identical to the “original”, but in all important ways, works just fine. I get so frustrated by ads, especially those that lock you in, I quickly opted for the Pro subscription, since this will be one of my main go-to puzzles every day. Thank you. I’m so very happy to have this! Developers: When I get through the pro puzzles, I don’t know yet whether I will be able to go backwards on the daily ones. As in, when December comes, will I be able to go back and pick up any un-done November ones? Can I in November go back for October? Suggestions: A bit more time to appreciate completed puzzle before going to animation.

Thank you for adding number of connections to pro section instead of just question marks so user can choose complexity before opening. Great addition.

Hello!

Thank you so much for your feedback, and apologies for the delayed response! Yes, you can revisit and work on previous ones as many times as you'd like.

We're continuously working on improvements and will do our best to address all your suggestions!

I loved Vertex on the NYT app and of course they got rid of it. Reddit mentioned this app as a good replacement, which it was, but there were definitely issues when I first downloaded it. For lack of a better explanation, it was not as “polished” as NYT’s Vertex. But the recent update they did has majorly improved the user experience. The issues I had such as some of my lines going to circles I didn’t pick is gone. The puzzles are detailed and take a decent amount of time. Well worth the monthly cost.

Hi,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying our app and that the recent update has significantly improved your experience. We appreciate your support and feedback, and we’re committed to making the app even better!

Happy puzzling!

I was excited to find this after the NYT shut down their version. Aside from the ads which are long and annoying, this is quite similar. However the touch controls need a lot of work. I have small fingers and still I have to enlarge the puzzle to its maximum before my gestures are correctly followed. It also often tries to direct your swipe or gesture to the wrong anchor. With the puzzle zoomed in so far you totally lose the overall design, which is a large part of the fun of this game - to try to figure out what you’re building while you build it. As is, you’re just connecting dots, the result of which you can’t see until you’re finished, and after watching a 30-second ad.

Hello!

Thank you for your feedback! Improving the gestures is our top priority, and we're actively working on enhancing them.

As for the ads, we understand they can be disruptive—we’re not fans either. However, they are necessary to keep things running smoothly.
