Puzzler

This is a game in which you need to find a way to make the pieces fit together to form a cube. The concept is a good one and should make for a great puzzle game. This implementation, however, leaves much to be desired. After completing 31 of 54 puzzles, my feeling was to recommend the game, despite its flaws. After having completed 44 puzzles, however, I have to say I do not recommend this game. Simply put, the game actively fights against you when you're trying to assemble the cube. I doubt this is intentional, but whether intentional or not, the outcome is the same, turning a relaxing game into a rage-inducing exercise in frustration. It does this in the following manner (these instances occur randomly, but frequently). 1. It refuses to allow you to move a piece. It makes a sound when you click the piece, so you know it acknowledged the grab, but the piece remains motionless, despite how much, how fast, or in what direction you move the mouse. This occurs with pieces not yet touched as well as pieces you have already placed into the target zone. 2. It refuses to allow a piece to slide into place, acting as if there is not enough room, despite there clearly being enough room. Sometimes, altering the camera position allows you to slide the piece into place, but most often, you have to take the pieces apart and start over. 3. It pushes the active piece away from the target zone at great speed (as if it were repelled by a magnet) when you're trying to move the piece into the target zone. When this happens, you almost always have to adjust the camera position and then hope it allows the piece into the target zone in your next attempt. This is, by far, the most rage-inducing issue. I'm about ready to give up and move on to another game. Solving these puzzles is fun, but constantly fighting the controls to get the pieces placed where I want them is not, and that's where most of my time is being spent. If it weren't for these issues, I would say this is a fun game. These issues, however, lead to nothing but frustration and rage, and I do not recommend this game unless these issues are resolved.
