eBoy FixPix

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that eBoy FixPix is a unique puzzle game with pictures that are broken into pieces; some of the images are not especially kid-friendly. The images used for the game are pixelated artwork (primarily cartoon art) and include things like weapons, a man hanging from a noose, and cartoonish nudity. Gameplay involves tilting your device until the pieces of the picture align. It's not always as straightforward as that sounds, as the pictures are often broken up by separating the background from the foreground. The puzzle is not about the tilting so much as it is about figuring out where the pieces are supposed to go. And, although some of the puzzles are simple to solve, some of them are very tricky. The game does allow you to skip a puzzle that is causing you grief and return to it later. There is no timer, scoring, or anything else you'd expect from a game app. It's just about solving the puzzles at your own pace.
