Reviews

Introduction

Who says that you can't have some fun with your trash? The Trash Flow app for your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch allows you to have a little fun with your trash as you find the matches to link them together. This puzzle-based game will have you testing your thinking skills and your IQ in order to solve the puzzle and clear the level. There are some rather easy-to-understand rules to follow that in turn make the game pretty darn challenging.

A Surprising IQ Challenge

It's hard to believe when you first take a look at this app that it will actually challenge your IQ but that's exactly what ends up happening. You are trying to find matches with the trash to form a link and dispose of them. However where the challenge lays is that you can overlap or cross the lines so you really have to think these puzzles through. As you complete a puzzle you will be able to move on to the next one that will offer you an even harder. Just as you start to feel confident in your abilities you’ll be given a new puzzle to solve that seems near impossible.

This app scores a very impressive five out of five stars from customers who can't get enough of the addictive gameplay, hundreds of levels to work through, and even the cute graphics on the game board. There are all kinds of other items that appear on the game board as well that users love because it adds yet another element of interest here. The app is free to play but you can purchase five hints for $0.99. You may find this necessary as you advance through the levels.

Game Features

There are a number of game features worth pointing out here such as the fact that there are hundreds of free levels to play. There are also 10 board sizes. If you manage to work through all of the free puzzles you can purchase more level packs. There is a time trial mode that offers 20 different types of challenge. The one negative that is noticeable immediately is the overwhelming amount of pop-up ads that really get in the way.

Gameplay is very simple so you won't need a tutorial. Simply match up the images without crossing or overlapping the lines. The top of the screen shows your number of moves, your best score, and the amount of trash flows you need to link up.
