I'm so sick of platformers everywhere :)\r\rThe box seemed a little long. I think that's because I wasn't viewing it as a puzzle\/math game. The nested doll feel is fantastic. I think you should expand on this and make it a full game. Maybe have different levels\/dolls with different puzzles. Have a young children's level where it is a set of matching puzzles, like your tree. Then have a simple math group for elementary age children. And have a more intense logic combination for young adults and older. Parents would eat this up, especially with a holiday theme. (one last thing) My sister in law says that she only spends money on mobile apps when it something my niece can play. Think about that :)"},{"author_name":"RHY3756547","author_uid":"7339","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 4:26pm","epoch":1418142060,"text":"Interesting puzzles, and fantastic graphical style!
