But I quit playing it before I completed the offer. But since I bothered to play this game, I felt I might as well write about it. I have a lot to say about this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_Have_I_Been_Playing_Woodoku\"><\/span>How Long Have I Been Playing Woodoku?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I played the game for about two weeks. The Swagbucks offer was about 22 days, and I quit before then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gameplay_Review\"><\/span>Gameplay Review<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_Game_Works\"><\/span>How the Game Works<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Woodoku is a puzzle game. As the name implies, you have a grid and need to fit blocks onto it. You need to clear rows, columns, or squares. Woodoku is vaguely like the puzzle game Sudoku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You get random pieces to place on the game board. As long as you have space, you can keep playing the game. You lose the game if you run of space and can&#8217;t fit a piece.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/woodoku_level_example-624x1024.png\" alt=\"A Woodoku level example.

But this game throws random stuff at you until you either win or lose. I don\u2019t see the connection between this game and Sudoku. Sudoku is more than just putting down numbers in rows. Columns and boxes. The main rule of Sudoku is that puzzles only have one solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Woodoku_Is_Almost_Fun\"><\/span>Woodoku Is Almost Fun<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The game is OK, I suppose. I did have some fun playing it. But I felt more frustrated than I had fun. I am going to explain why. I almost always like puzzle games. But not in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Game_Feels_Unfair\"><\/span>The Game Feels Unfair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It did not take long for this game to become annoying and feel unfair. The game throws random stuff at you. The best way to describe this game is it feels like playing Tetris. But you always get pieces that mess everything up.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"280\" src=\"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/annoyed_fox.png\" alt=\"The AndroidGamingFox is angry and looks annoyed.\" class=\"wp-image-155\" style=\"width:280px;height:280px\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/annoyed_fox.png 280w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/annoyed_fox-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/annoyed_fox-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/annoyed_fox-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/annoyed_fox-75x75.png 75w, https:\/\/androidgamingfox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/annoyed_fox-50x50.png 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>There is a strategy for putting down the pieces.

Not even earning $60 (USD) could keep me playing this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I often feel satisfied after beating a hard level in a game. Even if playing a game becomes frustrating.

But that alone is not what makes the game very annoying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most hard games, you restart the level right away without any fanfare if you lose. Super Meat Boy is a great example of this done well. Losing many times does not make a terrible game. But once you have a high frequency of ads, that messes everything up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Far_to_Many_Ads\"><\/span>Far to Many Ads!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I often say this, and I will keep saying to not look like a hypocrite. I don\u2019t hate developers who earn money with ads. My goal is to earn money with ads too. But in a game where you can lose in less than one minute, seeing ads after every attempt started to drive me crazy. I have seen tens of ad trying to beat one level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was so annoyed I put my phone in airplane mode. So I could focus on beating the level I was stuck on. Once I could start the level over faster, I became less frustrated. It was not watching the video ads that made me angry. It was the fact that I was watching a new one every minute!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t pay money to remove the ads, either. Normally I feel that is a good comprise. Let me spend about $10 (USD) once. So I can focus on playing the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I would have not spent money on Woodoku. So I guess it does not really matter too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Overall_Thoughts_on_Woodoku\"><\/span>My Overall Thoughts on Woodoku<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I disliked Woodoku so much that not even Swagbucks paying me money was enough to keep me playing this game. Woodoku is not the worst mobile game I have ever played. But the game was very frustrating. Playing this game made me want to play other puzzle games instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nicest thing I can say about this game is that it works well enough, and there were no major issues or glitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_Recommend_People_Play_Woodoku\"><\/span>Do I Recommend People Play Woodoku?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nope. Look for other puzzle games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_I_Keep_Playing_Woodoku\"><\/span>Will I Keep Playing Woodoku?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I deleted the game after publishing this review.
