Enigmo is a fun little puzzle that really gets your brain working to visualize where the water drops will go and how best to get them to the collection pots. While I enjoy it a lot, I do have a couple of issues with the game. And, maybe it's just the love-hate, hit-miss nature of touchscreen gaming.

When you select a tool to place. It's hard to see where you're placing it or tilting it. For me, anyway, with my fat fingers blocking the view, I got frustrated at times positioning the bouncers and rails in just the right position. That the tilt wheel can be expanded helped, for sure. But, perhaps the tilt wheel could be always expanded, especially for position the tools in just the right location.

Until then, I'll muddle through and reserve my 5 stars for something perfect. At it's normal price of $9.99, I would give it 3 stars. At the limited time 40% discount, it earns an extra star! :D

First of all, let me say I love, love Tetris. A big fan. Yet, I had not played it a long time. That said. When I found Tris to be available, and for FREE! I could not resist.

Game play is just as one would expect of the game. Good use of the touch screen. But I must say that using the touch screen to control games, any games, does not come without a few issues. Namely, that your finger pretty much blocks your view of the game, no matter how temporary it may be, it can be distracting. Hence, my mention in the review title of need for a track pad. What I mean by that is there should be a little square off to the side, off of the playing field, where one could run their finger to move the pieces or tap to rotate orientation.

But, it's not deal killer. Heck, for free, what could be? It's just that I felt hurried with my finger swipes to avoid blocking my view of the game. In doing so, I inadvertently would force bad moves! Ugh!

Another issue, is the lack of sound. It would have been awesome to resurrect some of that original Russian background music the original Tetris offered. Would totally add to the retro feel. Maybe down the line?

But, all in all, for free, it's a must have. I commend Noah for the great work. And, what the heck! Add in sound effects and music, and I'd pop for a buck! :D

Thanks!
