Yumak – Strategy Game Review
Yumak is a Strategy/Puzzle game from Berk Yuksel, first launched in 8th September 2018.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 49+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Yumak Stand Out
Yumak is a logic puzzle game in terms of chance factor minimized to the initial shuffling of nodes and the rest completely relies on the player’s thinking ability. Every button/node has a target place (row and column it belongs to) on 2D NxN matrix indicated by a hole and a rope attached to it. The player solves the puzzle by placing every node to its place by making swaps with other nodes in given time/moves.
While a swap can be horizontal and vertical, strategic depth comes from swapping two nodes cause in-between nodes to swap also, so placing the nodes one by one to their original places will not work in most cases because of move/time limit configured to promote use of in-between swapping functionality in order to win stages, i.e. making moves that solve more than two nodes at once and planning for remaining moves encouraged.
This Strategy game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We just got this app and it is so relaxing! It is so satisfying to finish them all. We have gotten up to 13 our friend with 55.
The game is awesome, but you have to buy coins to continue at a checkpoint without starting from the beginning. (20 coins for 20 levels)Then, if you want to retry a level you have to watch an ad and retry a second time is 30 coins. 1500 coins is $10. We have worked out it costs about 50 coins per five minutes play. Or $10 for 2.5 hours. We think more people would play if the price is lower. This is not a win-win price point.
We Rate You 5 Stars. Because In The Menu, There Is a Cat.
