What it is/what you do with it: a set of 3D puzzles for improving eye-hand coordination and logical thinking skills. Over 100 levels in 4 different worlds.
Match the objects with holes (by shape, color, size etc) - just avoid traps and sticky patches - and don't fall into the abyss!
What we liked: the concept. Great variety of challenges. Tons of props (bombs, moving platforms, catapults etc). Simple game controls. Multiple user accounts. No ads or other distracting features.
What we didn't like: we liked the 2D layout from the original Busy Shapes more. No hints (we recommend parental assistance).
