Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We LOVE this app to work on analogies with our older students in a fun way; they really enjoy it. We take screenshots of the analogy so we can have more time to discuss why an answer was correct or incorrect. It seems the update now has annoying pop up ads for their other apps, though. There is a small IAP to unlock more packs within the app but we hesitate to buy the IAP if the silly pop up ads dont go away, too.
We play it to keep our brain working right though sometimes we get mad at ourselves for missing an obvious answer. Love it so much.
Omg we love this game it's concept is great would like to see more games like it.
Fun game, but we were bored after playing a while. Did not have that "fun and addicting" factor that would spur us to play again.
We did around 30 puzzles then deleted the app. The analogies were written on a third grade level. We got bored. We want to be challanged.
We enjoy playing this game! However, it would be nice if we could go back and replay the ones we missed to get full stars. The only way to replay as it is makes you lose all your stars and progress, and you gags to replay the entire pack.
The Coen Brothers are to movies as The Bacals are to games: ExTREEEEMely good at making them. Here we have another really fun one from the team, quite possibly their most fun one yet: pop-culture-oriented analogies, presented with charm, flair and humor. No in-app purchases aside from the one-time Unlock, which is more than worth the price of full admission. We've gone through THREE of the packs already, can't wait for more.
It's cute but not challenging at all. We think it might be fun and engaging for kids age 9-14.
In need of a quick game fix? This is the one.
We love this game. Keeping us entertained.
We played this game at thanksgiving with three generations of game players. It was so much fun.
This is a terrific new game, plays fast and it's great fun. Makes you want to keep playing.
Great game. A great way to pass time and alot of fun.
Fun game, great for passing time on the train. Super easy to play and keeps your brain sharp.
Whole lot of play. Laughed at the cookie. It's familiar but also fresh. Like the fast pace.
Really great comparison game, especially for pop culture aficionados.
