### 1/5 — Yawn.

*2024-11-15*

Big deal. You get ONE puzzle pack for free. Then you gotta buy more. Don’t bother with this app

### 3/5 — Crashing upon opening

*2024-10-02*

Needs an update for older iOS, I have not updated to iOS 17 and this no longer works when I open it, thank you.

**Developer response:** We finally released a new version that should work on the newest devices.  Sorry it took so ridiculously long. 😳

### 5/5 — Actually a very good game!

*2022-04-17, version 2.0*

I decide to play this because I was curious to see that there was only one 1 star review that didn't go into detail but what can you expect?

This game is exactly what it says it is on the tin. I enjoyed it! I love Jay Bacal as a developer and I’ve recently played Chain of Thought which I found such a fun and new concept of a game.

I know I’m quoting a meme here but I’ll watch your career with great interest sir. 

Now I don’t usually write reviews but here I am, maybe you can give Jay’s games a go!

### 3/5 — It's okay...

*2017-04-18*

... but it took me LITERALLY under 10 to complete the first puzzle pack, thus my freebie was over. I spoze if I downloaded ALL their games I could get an afternoon's entertainment out of it... 😉

### 4/5 — Found an error

*2016-04-03*

I found an error in puzzle pack 4, number 31. Is there some way to contact the creator to let you know?

### 1/5 — Won't open

*2015-12-15, version 1.0*

Nuff said 😡

### 5/5 — So Much Fun

*2015-09-13*

This is a fast-moving game that you can play either when you have just a few minutes or when you have more time.  You rapidly lose track of the time when you're playing though :)  I can already tell that the original game packs will not last me long, but this developer is great about bringing out additional content.

### 5/5 — Lots of fun!!

*2015-06-27*

Some of the puzzles really make you think! Very fun!
