    Tappingo’s gameplay doesn’t disappoint and offers hours of content, making it an excellent addition to the 3DS eShop library.

    Engaging and very clever designed puzzle game for 3DS. As fun as simple.

    While a few extra puzzle elements could have been employed, as well as a bit of customization with music and some multiplayer options, Tappingo’s price tag makes it easy to recommend to anyone who thinks they’d enjoy its brand of pixel puzzling.

    You can’t knock the simple charm of Tappingo too much – it is still a cheerful and breezy little number, and some of the pictures will genuinely make you smile (one of them depicts a much-loved Ninty console of yore). Just don’t expect oodles of options, and be prepared for the controls to cause you some degree of annoyance.

    An undeniably unique concept is all but irretrievably marred by some stern presentation and a lack of basic utilities. [May 2014, p.90]

    Tappingo is a semi-clever idea held back by its lack of ambition and amateurish presentation.

    You tap out very simple picture puzzles for a €2 price tag.
    What's really more to say? Any more expensive and its rating would plummet, as    You tap out very simple picture puzzles for a €2 price tag.
