What players say
cute little game - win points by placing buttons and tiles, and deduct points for the holes has cute point shop items, 10 achievements, and not easy to get 100% achievements one of the achievements is to win online games 1000 times, and currently no other players playing this game, so unlikely to get a match with someone unless your friend purchased a copy this game as well and both of you agreed to play 1000 games...

Listen.... it's patchwork. The online doesn't work anymore but you can play local multiplayer, or you can play against the computer. Which is what I do. There's this one bot named Uwe... and well we have a bit of a rivalry. She's allegedly the "medium" difficulty, but that B dogwalks me 80% of the time. Every time I beat her is like a triumph and I feel an emotion I only ever felt before as a kid playing on a soccer...
I game solo or against AI and enjoy aiming to collect achievements. Patchwork only lets you collect achievements if you play against an online (human) opponent.
