Pixel Puzzles 2: RADical ROACH

jogo simples de quebra cabe;a

Another great puzzle experience from Pixel Puzzle! While I do not know who RADical Roach actually is, the art of these images were pretty good! I did enjoy completing this puzzles and am now wondering who he is and if there's another game about him!

I recommend this to any puzzle fiend.

RECOMMENDATION

BUY AT DISCOUNT SALE GET 100% ACHIEVEMENTS, 3 TRADING CARDS. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG IN THE GAME REALLY STILL GIVING NEGATIVE VOTE. WHY?

The game is same format as all others Pixel Puzzles: Japan, Undead, Birds, Anime, Animals. I do not expect anything new really. BUT REALLY IT NOW IRRITATES ME THE PUZZLES WITH 220 PIECES, 340 PIECES ETC. Its not fun way to spend time, or exciting. Its SUPER BORING, pain for wrists, fingers, eyes, mind and tremendous waste of time. Not even kids play such games these days if you give them 300 or 200 piece Jigsaw puzzles. Any Jigsaw puzzle you play excess of 80 pieces is a tremendous waste of time frankly! It means either you have too much free time with nothing else to do, or no good engaging games in library to play! Buy such games only when at minimum 75% discount! I did not mind the series before but now it really irritates me the bigger puzzles. Especially when large parts of background are dark with same dark color pallete and you cannot make out one piece from another one. The pieces basically look the same, even with the picture, you have no idea where it goes! It really strains the eyes.

ADVICE TO DEVELOPERS: Do not make people waste so much time on Jigsaws needing 200-300-500-1000 pieces they are just too irritating. This isn't gameplay. Dragging pieces around the board till the auto fit on those 200-300-500+ piece puzzles is not engaging. Its sheer frustration. Learn from the new Hentai games. Make it shorter, fun, faster at least. Or add powers skills to have automation. The reason I did not bother to play Ultimate Series DLC games is you guys added more punishment with 400-600-800-1000 piece puzzles. Please research what fun in games means. I regret buying many of those DLC packs since playing them no longer interest me.

It's just a Jigsaw puzzle game with the ability to turn rotate pieces on. I personally love all of the puzzles these Devs release. The music in this game is pretty awesome, until it plays on loop for 30m+ on the hardest puzzle lol. Sadly I don't want to disable it because I like the puzzle lock in sound. I wish there was a way to disable the music but leave the sounds on.

I loved this franchise ever since it came to steam.
Sure, there's a couple of flaws in the core design.
You simply can't snap individual pieces together.
And you sadly can't use your own pretty images.
Therefore: You are stuck with the default puzzles.
Everybody really knows these flaws at this point.
But I honestly do love these jigsaw experiences.
It simply feels great to finish every single puzzle.
During a discount it's definitely worth a purchase.
This game will also gift you the DLC for Ultimate.
And Pixel Puzzles: Ultimate is a very nice game.
Therefore: It's double worth it, that is my opinion.
I'm gonna give this game a huge positive review.

I always enjoy doing these puzzles and spaing out. It would be nice if there were a hint button to the game

6.5/10

Pixel Puzzles 2: RADical ROACH has proved to be so far my favourite of the series. It has all the features which I hated most about it's predecessors removed i.e. the main menu mini games and tasks to complete while you're solving puzzles. Next it has all of the my favourite features included, like being able to solve the puzzles in any order and the ability to turn of puzzle rotation. Only negative I would say is the music. Normally I'd like this kind of music in any other game, but in a tranquil game about solving puzzles it's a little hectic in my opinion.

I really liked all those puzzles. They're pretty cute. Easy achievements too ^^

I'm not sure if it's because I've played too many of these and the gameplay being the same consistently has not increased my interest, or if it's the type of puzzles related to the theme, but I couldn't get into this Pixel Puzzles game this time around. The music was probably my favorite out of all the Pixel Puzzles, though it didn't make a difference in my interest for the game. I finished....because I'm a sucker for achievements and completing games that I start. Overall, not a bad game, it's a carbon copy of the other Pixel Puzzles, but with a different theme. I just don't recommend it for reasons listed. I'd like to see Pixel Puzzles add something to the game play in future iterations.

This is a game of putting together puzzles, featuring a character and series I swear I've seen somewhere before... maybe, television. Anyway, while the puzzles are fun, the color scheme is a bit.. troublesome. That said, I do find it enjoyable enough.

Also, if you have the Ultimate Pixel Puzzles game, buying this will give you these puzzles automatically, without having to buy the DLC in the Ultimate game.

Its a fun puzzle game, even if it is based off another one of their games. Each puzzle depicting a scene from RADical ROACH and the OST being mostly the same as well. The pictures can be a bit tricky due to the darkish and post-apocalyptic imagery, but on average this is a must-buy for a pixel-puzzles fan.

In my opinion, as an owner of all the Pixel Puzzles games and a big fan, this is the poorest game release out of the Pixel Puzzles series. I don't even mind that the game is a promotion of another game of the creators, which is for many not the most exciting theme, as I could literally find joy in assembling jigsaw puzzles of walls or grass. Overall my expectations are low, but I sometimes find features such as in this game, making it unplayable or rage inducing. The background similarly to Birds is dark which makes the dark toned puzzle pieces (most images are dark green/grey) really difficult to recognise. The images don't have enough color variation especially puzzle 24, which would allow you to with some effort use visual cues to find the solution - resulting in just clicking until you get lucky. There are no new tile edges(unlike in earlier games), the interface is still outdated and I feel like Pixel Puzzles has begun to stagnate. I think I will start looking at other competitors' games such as Animated Jigsaws.

I like playing these puzzle games because they bring back memories of doing puzzles with my uncle, so I'm always going to gravitate towards them, and enjoy them. Having said that, I haven't played Radical Roach, and the pictures in here were obviously al relevant to that game, which is fine. The issue I had was that the puzzles were generally pretty dark, and then all of the backgrounds were dark, so it was difficult seeing where certain puzzles had to go because, even while circling through the colors, the backgrounds were too dark to see the puzzle easily. Other than that, the puzzles were fine, the pictures were kind of cool, and it's an easy 100% game. I'd recommend buying it on sale, though, or getting it in a bundle.

Worst Pixel Puzzles ever. The images are awful. Only buy if you really want at a very good discount. Even so you will still be disappointed by the images. Overpriced. Regreted buying it on release. So not worth. 3/10

This is, frankly, the least of all the games in this franchise. The colors are tedious, and the backgrounds make it much harder than it should be. I'm not a huge fan of Radical Roach, so I may be biased negatively, so keep that in mind.

The puzzles are a good mix from a technical perspective, and the mechanics are same as you have seen in other games. So, if you are a fan of the franchise, this is a must have, but get it on sale or in a bundle as I did.

5.01/10

Pixel Puzzles 2: RADical ROACH is like the other Pixel Puzzles Games a “simple” Puzzle Game. I played every Game from the Series so far and solved every puzzle.
I don’t like the setting of this installment of the series that much, but since I enjoyed the other games, I bought it anyways.
Like in the other newer installments of the Pixel Puzzle Games, the game saves your progress in the Puzzles automatically, so you can quit at any moment and continue later on.
You also can choose again if you want the pieces of the Puzzles to rotate or not.
Overall, there is nothing you can complain about. Also in every Puzzle the pieces have different shapes, what makes the puzzles more fun.
It’s a lot of fun to solve the puzzles. I enjoyed it again, even though the motives aren’t 100% mine like said earlier.
The only thing that they made worse than in the other installments are the background colors of the puzzles. You always had a variety of different colors from brighter to darker colors. This time, you can only choose between different darker colors. What is especially unfortunate for this game, since a lot of the Puzzle motives are already pretty dark, so it is often really hard to see the edges of the pieces, and so it’s harder to check where a piece could belong. It’s also somewhat exhausting for the eyes in my feeling.
Overall I can still recommend the game. It’s a very good and enjoyable Puzzle Game again. So if you’re looking for a good and relaxing Puzzle game, you came to the right place. Although if you’re new to the Series I would recommend starting with another installment of the Series, like Pixel Puzzles 2: Space. Check the games out :)
And of course, if you are, like me, a fan of the Pixel Puzzles Games, you can’t make anything wrong if you buy it.

tl;dr- Not the best Pixel Puzzles 2 game, but if you are a fan of any of the others then you will likley enjoy this one.



I need more Pixel Puzzles 2! Cant get enough of them. Great puzzles to just relax and unwind for a while.

That is not to say this is the best one they have made, I am not a great fan of the RADical ROACH art work, the music is very annoying (not that I ever leave the music on when playing any of the Pixel Puzzles 2 games, and most annoying was the options for the back ground colors made this one realy hard to complete. With most of the puzzles being in dark earth tones for color it would have nice to select a background that was not in the same shade as 90% of the puzzle pieces. Many times I couldn't find a place to put some of the last pieces in just because the blank spots of the puzzle blended almost perfectly wiht the back ground.

The game has too many problems for me to recommend it. My disappointment with the game is made worse by how much better (or at least on point for the genre) one of the previous installments was: Pixel Puzzles: Japan. To give the game a fair chance, however, I've divided said problems into ones I consider more objective and more subjective. Judge for yourself, how much those points matter to you.

The objective problems first: the playtime is a little on the short side (7 hours with piece rotation disabled), the settings do not always work correctly (you have to disable piece rotation after every game launch; sound volume settings don't affect the dev logo), and background colours don't offer enough contrast from the puzzle pictures (making it difficult to spot gaps missing a puzzle piece).

As for more subjective issues: the theme of this one is not particularly interesting, plus I prefer photographs over drawings (Japan, Birds, Space > UndeadZ, Anime, RADical ROACH; besides, with photographs it's easier to get enough detail even in puzzles with higher piece quantity to match pieces without placing them blindly), the music, however pretty good, doesn't really fit the gameplay pace of a jigsaw puzzle, and having one of the later puzzles in sepia robs you of some of the reference for educated piece placement.

Still, I'll be sure to look out for the next game in the series, hoping for something more up my alley.

Fun game really Recommend people to get game... C: awesome sound track BUT i think they need to update for diffrent songs if possible... the songs keep you going C:.. it gets your brain power to really work and feel like giving up BUT once done you feel so good C:... um i played 2, 60 puzzles i dont know if i could do 100 pieces XD it will kill me.. love rouches... and man what a game XD if bored just take the time to play this game oh wow it hits the spot... please do an update soon !! feel like their could be like some kind of different gameplay like survival or you know little arcade games. Complete the puzzle before time runs out but of course it would like a 20 puzzle piece game instead of 60 :0/. and what about having avaters to get when completing puzzles or unlockables but of course that would mean you would need more puzzles...
