\"FOLD_BOX\"<\/a>This is a really neat puzzle game where colored lines are arranged on the screen and you must tap either end to shrink them down into a single square. When all colors have just one square apiece, you win the level.\u00a0 But you must plan your moves as colored lines can attach to other lines and move when you shrink them down, so you have to think ahead.\u00a0 I\u2019m not really sure why this game is called Fold+ since you\u2019re not really folding anything, but I guess they had to call it something.\u00a0 It\u2019s also a sequel to a game that came out in 2013, but since that\u2019s about the time I got my iPad, I never played the first one so I don\u2019t know how the \u2018plus\u2019 version has improved.\u00a0 You can download Fold+ on iOS and Android devices, and it\u2019s reviewed on iPad here.<\/p>\n

There are five variations on how you play, with more than 30 levels in each. So you have over 100 puzzles in all, which is a good deal.\u00a0 The first mode, \u201cFold\/Expand\u201d is your introductory set of puzzles that show the basics and get harder from there.\u00a0 In \u201cPaint it Black,\u201d you must contract the lines so they turn into squares on dark parts of the puzzle field and then they\u2019ll turn black.\u00a0 \u201cPeer Pressure\u201d has blocks that\u2019ll turn whatever color is around them when you shrink them.\u00a0 \u201cGone With the Wind\u201d has fan blocks that can blow other blocks around unless they have a stationary dot symbol on them.\u00a0 And last is \u201cSpin to Win,\u201d with blocks you can tap that can rotate other nearby blocks.<\/p>\n

The game does a great job of explaining the rules of each mode with puzzles that teach you the basics interactively. The only two problems I had with the game was that, one, you can only go back one move.\u00a0 Any more and you have to start the level over again.\u00a0 There\u2019s no reason why they couldn\u2019t let you go back multiple moves.\u00a0 And two, some of the puzzles can get pretty tricky, so a hint option would\u2019ve been nice.\u00a0 But otherwise, Fold+ is a neat game and is at a pretty decent price, so if you like puzzlers you\u2019ll want to download this.<\/p>\n

\"FOLD_SCREEN\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reading skill is helpful for some of the text, but not necessary as it\u2019s pretty easy to figure out just by playing. Younger gamers may get frustrated and need help with some of the tougher puzzles, but the game could be considered educational as it teaches logic and thinking skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
