Brain Booster Reviews

★★☆☆☆ Puzzle itself is fine... but the control is very very annoying.

[h2]Brain Booster[/h2] Has a total of [b]5[/b] trading cards.

-common puzzles and far2ez (finshed the first three and the last in hard mode)

Nice little IQ puzzles for very cheap. Sometimes a bit annoying because answer has to be pixel perfect.

Better game than I expected! You can actually practice to be cleverer.

[h1]"The extremely hard IQ test"[/h1] Brain Booster could be a good casual IQ test for a hour or two. But it has some flaws that makes it sometimes impossible to guess the right solution. Basically it's buildup like a classic IQ-Test. 3x3 fields on which the right lower corner field is empty. Find the hidden patterns which can be anticipated by rules deducted from horizontal or vertical rules that apply. Unfortunately some of the 135 levels are corrupted with some missing fields in the pattern. The biggest problem is indeed that you have to assemble the solution out of given shapes on a gridlined background. Means it turns out more like a puzzle game than a thinking game. Some stars inside a hexagon can take minutes to find the right positions. Another bah is the scoremeter in the middle screen showing how close you are to the solution. It's just too slow, timewasting and non indicative what's wrong.

Level Easy took 35mins so how hard can the other levels be? :P I'll find out soon enough... Con: sometimes it's difficult to place the object *exactly* where it needs to be to receive credit on the correctness scale. Be patient and count the grid squares to make sure you got it where it needs to go before clicking for a Hint.

I can't say I puzzles are perfectly designed - quite often there several equally rational solutions, and you just need to guess, which one authors went with. Which would probably be ok - after all , it is still a puzzle to solve, just with an element of ambiguity. But what definitely made me give it a thumbs down is that developers forgot to include "saving" logic. Am I supposed to go through all 150 of them in one sitting? Really? Cause this is exactly how people play casual games - several hours on end. NOT! I apologize in advance if it is only my computer acting weird, but I so similar complaints on forum with no replies, so I assume it is meant to be like this.

Good one dollar game. Similar to an IQ test + you instantly know if you have the problem wrong or right, and have hints and solutions if you need. Firsl level is easy but then it increase in difficulty. Basic patterns tho; clockwise rotation, shifting, repetition, different figures in a row... there is perhaps only 10 or 15 patterns to know to complete the 150 problems in this game. Doesn't make you a genius, but it might teach you a thing or two.

A "trainer" which seems good and offers quite a few puzzles to solve. The style of Brain Booster is the smooth kind you'd expect with all the logic-based trainers, tests etc. However the biggest issue which almost made me hit the refund-button was the way how you complete the puzzles: click and drag shapes to a grid and you have to put them in EXACTLY the right place, otherwise your answer is not accepted. The grids were too small most of the time and I had to readjust the shapes by one tick in the grid, which became annoying very quickly. In the end, I was close to giving a negative review because of the the grids, but in the end, it's still an OK trainer. If this trainer gets updated to have an X amount of possible answers instead of having to dragging the shapes in places, I'd recommend this to people who want some IQ-test -style logic puzzles.
