Game Of Puzzles: Dinosaurs

for my 5 and 3 year old boys its OK they had fun

I recently purchased GAME OF PUZZLES : DINIOSAURS for only 44 pence in a STEAM sale and for the time it took to complete - around 30 minutes, as I did not rush - the brief experience was rather enjoyable while it lasted. We are given a series of 15 (admittedly rather cartoon-like) jumbled Dinosaur pictures made up of numerous squares and our job is to unscramble them to complete the level. This is done simply by selecting a picture square and then clicking where we wish to position it. Each square is randomly placed at the start, ensuring that selecting the same picture several times can vary the difficulty, which inadvertently may prove a problem. During an attempt I completed the picture in only 3 separate moves as many of the squares were in the correct place to begin with! I personally would have preferred the puzzles to be more like the plastic slider games I used to play as a child, where there is an empty square and we move the pieces around to complete the picture. This undoubtedly would have increased the difficulty of the game no end. The difficulty level can be changed here, however, from 9 to 16 and ultimately 25 squares per picture although they all play in exactly the same way whichever setting is selected. Once the puzzle is complete we are shown the finished product and can move onto the next challenge. There are 18 Achievements to collect but they are as easy as the game and do not prove too complex to obtain. Then the challenge is gone, sadly, ensuring the game has no real replay value. Although the game is by its nature very limited, no doubt children will be entertained and as a fan of Dinosaurs, so was I for a small period of time.
