Following on from an update at the end of march to allow the arcade city sim to run on Windows Phone handsets with 512 MB of memory, AT Games' Puzzle Craft has picked up another small update to v 1.0.0.3. There's a number of changes in the UI to present you with more information, and the ability to buy tools and bonuses using the in-game currency has been highlighted.

Even two weeks after our review, Puzzle Craft is as addictive as it was when I first looked at it:

It has that certain addictive quality that ongoing games need to have, and I want to keep coming back to it, even with the crummy match-3 mechanic. I want to see more people move into my village, I want to see more buildings, better mine shafts, and happier villagers (all paying their tax every two hours to give me more coins).

And I love that I want to keep playing this day after day, even with the small font size used on the construction screens. Puzzle Craft has me hooked, and while I can't say I'm completely impressed, I know ongoing lust when I see it. Feel free to start playing, but beware, it will draw you in rather quickly.

The title is a free download, relying on in-app purchasing for income, so it makes sense that the title will promote the options to buy items to help you to the same level as crafting them from the supplies you gather. I'm glad that this has been added, without damaging the fabric of the game.

You can pick up the update right now from the Windows Store.
