Dozen!: Matching with dozens of possibilities
Players quickly match numbers in fun puzzle game called Dozen! The numbers on the four brown squares in the middle of the screen must match with those displayed on the bordering 12 white squares. The squares in the middle disappear after a certain amount of time so players have to be quick about matching the squares. Dozen! is compatible with iOS devices running iOS 6.0 or later.
Dozen! starts off fairly easy, which is nice for beginner players learning the game, but matching all four tiles before they disappear gets harder as time goes on. This offers a nice challenge for players while still retaining the fun element. This feels a lot like trying to catch butterflies before they fly away. The puzzle makes players think about the position of the white number squares in an attempt to keep up with the quickly disappearing brown square numbers.
Dozen! features Game Center support, which means competitive players can try to get a high score and challenge friends to beat those high scores. There are also achievements that players can try and get. All 12 achievements range in difficulty from getting a score of 500 points to a much more difficult challenges, such as getting at least 3000 points.
The UI in Dozen! is pretty clean, there is not overwhelming information on the screen at one time; just the game itself, the score, high score, and a menu/pause button all laid out in a block grid format. The color choices for the game are also non-distracting: the main colors are a fossil greyish brown, white, and a highlight color of cerulean blue. The only distracting feature of Dozen! is the banner ads that remain at the bottom of the screen.
Dozen! is free on the App Store and a great challenge for players who enjoy puzzle games during a break.
