81/100

Duplicado is a deliciously charming puzzle game that uses a clever 'folding' mechanic to stand out in the crowded culinary-puzzle space. The goal is to duplicate tasty food items by flipping and folding the grid, ensuring that you match the target pattern perfectly. It’s a spatial reasoning challenge that feels like a cross between origami and a high-end chef's plating session.

The 'Tasty' branding isn't just marketing—the art style for the desserts and snacks is mouth-watering, making the levels a joy to look at. The puzzles start off deceptively simple but quickly evolve into complex multi-fold challenges that require you to visualize the board in reverse. The tactile feel of 'peeling' and 'folding' tiles on the touchscreen is incredibly satisfying. It’s an ideal game for puzzle lovers who want something with a unique mechanical hook and a high level of aesthetic polish.

Dinsun Review

It's another 'tasty' puzzle game. We've been doing this since Candy Crush, and while the duplication mechanic is a slightly different twist, it's not enough to make the game stand out in a saturated market. The art is cute—if you're into that sort of sugary, soft-edged look—but I find it a bit infantile.

The difficulty curve is poorly managed. It goes from 'tutorial for a five-year-old' to 'frustratingly random' in the span of five levels. Like most of its peers, success often feels more dependent on getting a lucky board layout than on your actual strategy. It’s harmless, but it’s not something I’d ever pay for or spend significant time with. It's digital candy: high in sugar, zero nutritional value.

Thanks for playing!
Avocados have fallen all over the orchard!
Slide the pieces around the board and get every last seed planted to solve a nearly-endless landscape full of unique and challenging puzzles.
GAMEPLAY:
It's simple: plant every seed to solve the puzzle.
It starts out easy enough, but watch out because these puzzles get TRICKY.
Use the 4 avocado piece-types and their unique sliding mechanics to plant all of the seeds into the soil and water tiles. Some seemingly easy levels will have you completely stumped until you get a very satisfying 'Aha!' moment where you find the solution.
EXPERIENCE:
After a short collection of tutorial levels, the game loads you immediately into an endless landscape of procedurally-generated puzzles that flow beautifully into each other upon solving. As you complete levels you will unlock three additional difficulty tiers that offer more challenging puzzles.
UI:
The minimalistic UI distracts only with the essentials: the oft-needed reset and undo buttons, a convenient settings menu, and a puzzle-sharing button that lets you send level-codes to a friend.
We hope this game offers peaceful little moments when you need them most.
Happy puzzling :)

The objective is to recreate a specific layout of donuts, cakes, and other treats using the fewest moves possible. With its unique folding mechanic, Duplicado offers a fresh take on the genre, providing hundreds of handcrafted levels that test your ability to visualize and solve complex patterns.

Before you make your first move, look at the target pattern and find the axis of symmetry. Duplicating along that axis is usually the most efficient path to victory.
