Pull the Pin Review

In this game, you are friends with physics and gravity – it is a smooth game that has an appropriate number of levels, difficulty and tricks that will challenge your brain. The objective of the game is simple: transfer the balls into the pipe. You have colored balls and grey balls, mix them, and avoid the bombs – simple right? This game is not that bad if you are looking to pass time without a headache. It has an optimal amount of difficulty (increases as you progress) and excellent replay value. 

Game Features 

The features in this mini game are designed to challenge your brain – just enough to keep you coming back for more. We believe that this game is an excellent choice for people of all ages because it helps you relax and sharpen your mind in the process. The developers of this game turned a simple concept: saving balls – into an interactive game that offers cognitive benefits and a lot of enjoyment.

We would call it the Yao Ming of puzzle games; simple yet sophisticated. Slow paced, yet entertaining. 

But be careful, there are bombs, but surely, you can find a way to evade them or just flush them. Now there are many levels in the game and as you progress, the game starts to challenge you. The allure of this game is in its straightforwardness that might give you an impression that, “this game is too easy”, we’d like to tell that it is most certainly not. 

However, this puzzle game’s difficulty is based on progression – and as you clear levels – you will get used to the difficulty, meaning that your experience throughout will be relaxing and casual. You can play this game for a long time because it has almost infinite number of levels. 

Go Through Challenges

It wouldn’t be a puzzle game if there weren’t any challenges, the game starts slow, but wait – a huge number of unknown challenges awaits you. 

Rewards

This game also has the element of customization and as you collect rewards, you can exchange them for different backgrounds, ball trails, new balls and pin styles.

You’ll get:

•    Cubes

•    Stars

•    Soccer balls

•    Rulers 

•    Spears

•    Neon tubes

For backgrounds, you can choose space, beach sand or a cityscape. The combinations that you can use are just endless. 

Earn and Spend

You get coins in this game, which lets you build houses and those can be converted into sky scrapers – that will bring you more coin.

Graphics and Sound 

The graphics and sounds are plain and simple. This is not the kind of game that really relies a lot on graphics. The sounds however, are just right. Additionally, the physics in this game are impressive – they are smooth and are quite satisfying to experience. For some reason, seeing a bunch of colored balls going down the drain is fun. Kudos to the developers for this one. 

Generally speaking, puzzle games are not really dependent on graphics – remember, this is not an FPS or RPG genre that you are playing on a high-end PC or console – this game is made to pass time. The developers have concentrated more on making this game inviting and rewarding, sure there is a little obscurity here and there – but the purpose of any puzzle game – is to be solved – and pull the pin satisfies that criteria. 

Play Time and Replay Value

The game has infinite number of levels and we can gauge its replay value from just that. We played this for a few hours, took a break and then played it again and this game offers more every time. 

Final Thoughts

The game is not entirely brainless, it offers good challenges, and like us, you will make mistakes too. The levels in the games offers a lot of depth and the reward system is cool. Overall it is exactly what is promises. Consider this as a game that offers a light challenge, maybe a good choice if you are bored and want to keep yourself occupied.

Unlocking rewards are easy and you do not have to wait an eternity. It is not complex.

The graphics and sounds are okay and makes the overall game experience fun. But like we said before, the graphics and sound are irrelevant to a puzzle game and sometimes, the heavy graphics can create clutter and therefore the purpose of the game – to solve puzzles – is overlapped. 

We have also noticed that that design of the game is based on ease of play and simplicity – something that you would play while you are in the toilet or before going to sleep. The customization options are lovely and they are addictive in a strange but positive way. Furthermore, people of all ages can play this game as you do not need a tutorial, hence, making this game versatile and entertaining at the same time. 

You will also notice that beating the levels are not that hard, in a couple of hours, you can easily reach level 300 – and we think that you might keep on playing this because the game is interesting enough and keeps rewarding you.

We would personally give this game 5 stars for a lot of reasons. First, it does not cause frustration and it does what it is meant to do – give the player a casual and relaxing experience. Second, there aren’t that many ads in this game, considering that this is a free game and usually, we expect to be bombarded by ads. Third, the levels are well designed and keeps the player interested.

So there you have it, pull the pin is a winner and you should definitely give it a go, we believe that it will not disappoint you.
