Overall thoughts
A Game of Onions is an easy game to understand once you begin playing. There is an instructional section on how to play that seems a little lengthy at first. But, don’t let that discourage you because gameplay is simple and the levels get more challenging as you advance. The tools on the “good” list that are not multipliers, like shovels and rakes, actually reduce your score, which is a bit confusing. However, for a light, upbeat puzzle, A Game of Onions is a good option.
A Game of Onions is designed for iPhone and available for free on the App Store.
