Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Each puzzle gives us a small but satisfying aha moment when we figure it out. The presentation is cute and the music is unexpectedly great (although we muted the sound effects since they got repetitive). Really nice game to have waiting when we want a small distraction.
We came to The Rhymatory after playing Pondersa Games's delightful Catagrams. This new word game has a unique blend of techniques that really piqued our interest; we especially enjoyed the hint system, which is helpful but not too quick to give an answer away. The hand-drawn illustrations and animations are extremely charming and put us in the mood for a cup of tea- it is both challenging and satisfying in a way we have never experienced before, which is an achievement as most mobile games are repetitive to each other in terms of style and play. We look forward to playing future pieces from Ponderosa Games and definitely recommend it to all our friends who love puzzles.
We like games that make you think so we can stay sharp. This does that in a fun way.
This app is challenging but satisfying to play! The tutorial was helpful with some sample hints with answers to help get you off on the right foot. Sometimes we get the correct rhyming words right off the bat and others take more pondering and head scratching. In that case, to avoid frustration, there are various hints that can be used. We like the sounds like one, but if all else fails you can just get the answer. The rhymes are clever and its fun to solve and see the answers! Soothing background music, whimsical drawings and some surprises if you click on some of the lamps. Great job on this game by an indie developer.
