What makes a good puzzle game? Usually hints or undo options, a calm pace and levels that teach one idea at a time — and Sweet Shapes has each of them in some measure. Playing it works your planning and planning, which is a large part of why the "one more round" feeling is so strong.

Tips and tricks
- Read the whole board before your first move. In most puzzle games the first move is the most important one, and it deserves ten seconds of looking.
- Work backwards from the goal. Ask what the final state has to look like, then ask what the state before that must be.
- If you are stuck for more than a couple of minutes, step away and come back. Puzzle solutions often arrive when you stop forcing them.
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- Because this is a Match 3 game, work from the bottom of the board so cascades do the work for you.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
Who will enjoy it
We would recommend Sweet Shapes to players who prefer thinking to twitching, from casual brain-teaser fans to dedicated solvers.
