I just downloaded a small game called "BBQ Sorting Puzzle". It's free and has no in-app purchases. Just these five words made me want to cry. Do you know what the “puzzle” games on the market are like now? Clicking in will first let you watch a 30-second advertisement, and then after playing it twice, a pop-up will say "Free diamonds for the first deposit of 6 yuan", and after playing it twice, a "limited-time gift package" will pop up. A sorting puzzle can give you VIP levels, physical limits, and card drawing pools - Am I here to play a game or to be a leek? 🌿
Talking about this "BBQ Sorting Puzzle", the developer Shenzhen Yunbu Interactive Entertainment, I checked what they have made before, and I think they are honest people. The rules of this game are very simple: sort the ingredients on the bamboo sticks and move them to the same stick. Single finger operation, not so many bells and whistles. The key is that it costs zero money and doesn't even have a shopping mall button. This kind of game that attracts you purely by its gameplay is now as rare as a giant panda.
While I was playing, I listened to its background sound - the sizzling sound of barbecue and the clicking sound of moving ingredients. This simple sound effect is 10,000 times more pleasant than the sound of "successfully recharged" gold coins in those krypton gold games. Those game manufacturers wish that a 648 gift pack would pop up every time you click on the screen. This game will let you solve puzzles quietly. If you get stuck, you can start over at any time without forcing you to spend money to buy tips.
Of course, this game is not perfect. The difficulty curve is a bit steep, and the next few levels require some thinking, unlike some "auto-battle" krypton gold games that are brainless. But precisely because of the challenge, it's so satisfying to pass the level! It's much more exciting than drawing an SSR card, because you won it by thinking about it yourself, not buying it with money.
In short, if you are fed up with those stores disguised as games, try this one. You can play it on your mobile phone, and it doesn't require any configuration, so you can play a few games while commuting. Remember, a good game never requires you to spend money, it can retain you through gameplay. 🎉
(PS: If the BGM of this game is included in the music area, then I'm not off topic😏)
