Not An Angels

The Good
First of all this is free so that gets a thumbs up. On Steam the description says that there are in-game purchases but I have not come across any so far and I have played it quite a bit.

There are lots of pictures available and the quality of the renders is, in my opinion, very good. When I say 'lots' I do mean lots, I have unlocked and played one hundred and fifty eight images and there is a Steam achievement for players who have played over two hundred and fifty.

Some of the puzzles do present a bit of a challenge, two sets in particular spring to mind one where the background was a plain wall with the shadows of a Venetian blind forming the pattern and another where the character was reflected in three mirrors. Making sure to finish the puzzle quickly and with as few moves as possible is also a challenge - I have a habit of rotating clockwise three times instead of rotating counter clockwise once.

The developers are adding more features and content, this always seems to me to be a good sign.

The Bad
This puzzle has very few player aids, in fact I can think of only one and that is the autorotation of the pieces. There are no trays to sort pieces into so I found that ninety-six pieces was the maximum I could comfortably play with.

Most characters have a set of ten base images and additional sets which cost five thousand points to unlock. Getting the required number of points was not a problem for me, finishing a forty eight piece puzzle quickly could score into the mid to high hundreds while finishing a ninety-six piece puzzle occasionally scored over a thousand. The problem with unlocking these additional image sets is that they do not stay unlocked. This caught me out when I unlocked a set and was called away. I shut down the game and when I returned that set and all other previously unlocked sets had disappeared from the gallery and I had to pay again to unlock the set I'd part completed. I also found that I was not looking at the pictures because they were erotic, I was looking for patterns, colours, where the light and shade was placed so that I could complete the puzzle faster - after all I thought I could always view them later in the gallery, except I couldn't.

The Bottom Line
You play a puzzle and score points. If you do well enough you unlock the next image in the set. Eventually you'll get enough points to unlock another set of images and so on.

When it comes down to it the puzzles are all the same it's just the picture that changes.
