App Army Assemble: Tricky Test 2: Think Outside

Each week, we get early access to an exciting upcoming game and give it to a select few hardened mobile gaming experts that make up the App Army. We then feed these thoughts back to you, our audience, so you know whether it's worth your time or not. Gamer to gamer.

Today we're looking at Tricky Test 2: Think Outside (formerly Don't Trick Me), a misleading puzzler where not everything is as straight forward as it sounds…though sometimes it is. With 60 levels to get through, five lives to lose, and your IQ on the line, will you still be able to call yourself a genius at the end of it?

You can pick up the game on Google Play, and read our review here (coming soon) – but what did the App Army think of it?

I found Tricky Test 2 to be a very well made puzzler. The art style is bright, colourful, and very clean looking. The puzzles themselves are very clever and fun, however I think a few of them are a bit too similar to each other, and a couple of the solutions seem completely nonsensical.

One thing I disliked was that when you run out of lives, you have to repeat three puzzles which you have already solved, therefore wasting your time.

Overall, it's a very good game for playing in those spare moments, and worth getting for any puzzle lover.

Okay, I love this game. It has quirky puzzles that make you think outside the box; in fact, it throws the box away on some of them. It's just fun to pick up and play when you have a little bit of spare time in your day.

I think there could be too many ads sometimes and some of the puzzles I found to be incorrect, but all in all it's a lovely game that I'll be playing for a while - as long as they add more to it.

It would be a great game to recommend to a puzzle lover. However, quite a number of puzzles feel recycled. The game itself feels fresh in the beginning and 60 puzzles is a good start, but to stay relevant it has to come out with new stuff on a regular basis. There's no real replay value once you've cleared them game.

A perfectly adequate 'impossible test' style game with its cool-looking graphics being the main stand-out feature above other pretenders.

Unfortunately the puzzles and gameplay have all been done before and Tricky Test 2 adds nothing new to the formula.

I've really enjoyed playing this. The graphics and the sound are good, and it's probably one of the few games that I would come back to play over and over again.

The puzzles do sometimes feel a little bit silly, like the solution makes no sense, and the adverts are ridiculous. It got to a point where I had adverts every 30 seconds or so; it's just too much.

I like the simple and effective graphic style, and I like the puzzles that are simple and sometimes encouraging if we don't find the logic - but the game is repeated at the end.

A nice game to have fun with, but sorely lacking in content which is useless after 30 minutes or so.

It's a game that has you thinking outside the box, yet ultimately hold no replay value. It should have variations of the questions and it should mix up the order in replays or rewinds.

It would have been good to have some micro-games in there more akin to Warioware as opposed to word questions that you can adapt your thinking to. Some daft questions and patchy language here also lowers the fun.

Yay, I'm a genius! The game is not.

Yes the puzzles are tricky in the sense that the solution might have a hidden logic that may escape your mind. You have to think differently, and that's good. It's a good game to playing during travel time.

I liked the graphics and easy handling, I liked the puzzles most of all, but unfortunately there's a narrow category. It should have been more diverse and would have had a lot more replay value.

Basically, I'm not going to play again because it's gotten me to the point of 'been there, done that'.

I think this is a fun little game, but it has almost no replay value, and the ads are annoying. As I'm about to tap one will pop up, and that's not enjoyable.

It's a good game though: simple concept, but it does simple well.

It's a very small game and some puzzles are taken from their other games like the thoroughly enjoyable What's My IQ?. Again, the ads are annoying. I completed the level and there's an ad, and I managed to complete the game in 30 minutes - that's too small.
