The title says it. You need skill to master this game.

Not your average brain teaser, Skill Game doesn’t just require you to think smart. You have to incorporate skill and dexterity into your game too which explains the skill name.

In this game, players are put through myriads of puzzles to solve, which basically requires one to connect the dots. Success in each addictive level nets the player points.

Joining dots have never been so difficult in my entire life.

To spice things up, the game offers a little incentive to spice things up by conjuring a self-admitting shady character who gives players a chance to gamble with their points. The shady character bets with players with regards to the next level where the player can choose to accept or decline. Should the player accept, winning the next level will earn bonus points. However, losing the level will lead to a penalty to be paid.

I must admit I raised an eyebrow when I first saw the game concept. I mean, joining dots seemed pretty cliche and childish to me. However, I was hooked and spent a couple of hours straight on the game.

So for $2.99, this gets my thumbs up.

Quick Take

Value:High

Would I Buy Again:Yes

Learning Curve:Simple, joining the dots can't get that difficult... Or can it?

Who Is It For:Casual gamers

What I Like:The shady character is a real novel way to spice up the game

What I Don't Like:For a paid app, in-app purchases give a way too big advantage and playing the game without these side purchases puts one at a huge disadvantage

Final Statement:Are you accurate enough?
