This game on default setting with auto error off is ridiculously easy. I almost slept while playing. Mindlessly clicking getting make no mistakes and below par for 100 puzzles on first try after tutorial.

Only worth playing with all of the help settings off - then that makes the achievements a chore instead of something fun. Even so it is still easy enough to warrant making mistakes only because you get so bored that there's not much challenge. With such ridiculously easy settings it'd be better to add in a time attack mode as people have pointed out. It takes an average of 10 seconds per puzzle for the earlier ones..

Once you get out of Ocean, you'll find that just turning off the instant error notification makes this seriously challenging. In my opinion, that's all it takes to make this worth playing... but of course YMMV.

Yes, the first region is very easy, and it gets harder as you move on.

I... fail to see the problem.

sure it's easy at the start. But the game is made for ppl of different ages to enjoy, not just u.
There's plenty of puzzles left that are a challenge.

Just do the challenge puzzles until you reach sky and beyond. Turn all the help and come back and tell me if you think it's still easy.

Our intent was to have the early puzzles be do-able by just about anyone, including 1st graders. We've found a lot of people who have never done a logic puzzle before find even these puzzles a bit daunting because they don't have any practice to solving them. For others they are trivial.

That's why we make you only do one boss puzzle per location. You can quickly move up the ladder doing only boss puzzles (which give you a sense of testing how well you're doing) and get to the higher levels very quickly.

We believe that within 30 minutes of play you can be playing interesting puzzles no matter how comfortable you are with these types of puzzles. And at the top end of the game, we believe they are a big challenge for everyone. But if that's still not hard enough...well, keep playing :-)

For what it's worth, you nailed it by letting us skip immediately to the end challenge in each world, and then unlocking everything in the world. Thank you for doing this. The difficult puzzles in each world are fun, but I was anxious to see how complicated the game became, and now having blown through several worlds in about that amount of time, I feel like I have a ton of variety to draw from, instead of slogging through repetitions in order to earn something.
