Tents and Trees

I am a huge sucker for logic puzzle games. I've spent an unhealthy amount of time in my life playing various forms of sudoku, picross, nurikabe, kenken, and any other type of puzzle I can get my hand on.
So I was very excited when Frozax Games reached out and offered me a copy of Tents & Trees for the Nintendo Switch.
Thankfully, I am already familiar with the format of Tents puzzles, so I felt comfortable quite quickly with this set.
Here, puzzles are presented arranged in packs, from 5x5 all the way up to 14x14, most of which have separate packs for Easy, Hard, and "Missing Numbers."
Initially, only 510 puzzles are presented. Although there is an achievement for solving 1000 puzzles, so I the Daily Packs are where additional puzzles will come into play. I say "only", even though even the initial 500 will keep you occupied for many hours.
After solving 25 puzzles, you unlock the "Hard" puzzles. After 50, you unlock the Daily puzzles. After 75, you unlock the Missing Numbers puzzles. And then finally, after 100 puzzles you unlock the 11x11 and larger puzzles.
As mentioned, there are various "achievements" you can earn. These have no special purpose other than potentially for tracking your progress, and bragging rights.
At 200, 300, and 400 puzzles solved, you can unlock different themes to change the colors of the puzzles.
That being said, the default theme is perfectly adequate. All the icons are made out of voxels, which lends a cute aesthetic to the game. There's even a little spray of voxels when you finish a puzzle!
All-in-all, this is a very solid presentation of a well-known puzzle type. I look forward to jumping back in to solve some more puzzles.
"Tents & Trees" from Frozak games is available on the Nintendo Switch eShop. A free-to-play version is available on iOS and Android. https://www.frozax.com/games/tents-and-trees
