Be warned though, it’s not your average puzzle. Off the bat, it can come across as complicated but once you get into it, there’s no stopping. Once you grasp the Stoned concept, you’ll be stuck for hours, involving whoever you can in your quest to solve the puzzle. Your one objective is to turn all the stones black. The trick is to do it in two moves. The help option in the menu will show you exactly how to solve the puzzle, although the app could really do with a little more guidance in the help section. There is a hint option available while you play, which complements the help feature. The only problem is that you run out of free hints before you know it and then you have to make a purchase to unlock more hints , which can slow your quest down just a bit.
The app is easy to download, does not require much storage space and runs quite smoothly without any glitches at all. The graphics are quite awesome for a puzzle app too. A cool feature on the app is that you are able to include others on social media by liking and following the Stoned app on Facebook and Twitter, where you will be able to post and boast about your progress.
The app includes five stages, all named after precious gems. Each stage includes 25 levels, which equates to 125 levels of pure brain teasers. The first level is free and readily available for you to dig into. The rest of them however, remained locked and you have the option of making a purchase to unlock them or work your way to unlocking them by progressing through all the levels.
Now, as I’ve mentioned, this app looks and seems simple at first glance but looks can be deceiving. You need to have a lot of time in your hands to figure this one out. It grabs your attention from the get go and it will challenge even the greatest of minds to stand to attention and complete all the levels and stages. It would have been awesome you could earn coins based on how quick you can complete the level and on completion of each level which you can use to towards your hint or stage purchases as opposed to just straight forward purchases.
