  • Let us actually try it

    I played for 7 seconds and then the game begged me to subscribe. I just wanted to try your game because it looked neat. Never mind.
  • Trial too short

    This game requires a subscription. It offers a free trial but it is ridiculously short - two levels. How can I possibly decide if I want to pay for a game by playing the first two ludicrously simple tutorial levels. Give me a break.

  • Great puzzle

    Challenging and addictive.
  • Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin

    $2.95 a week to play a puzzle game? With only 60 levels? Where’s the madness end with charging people? I actually respect those games that charge upfront, one time, or those that would charge to remove ads. But, in this case, I’m thinking the developers used to work for Adobe and their slave practices.

    UPDATE:

    Developers kindly reached out to let me know their subscription price would cover various apps. Nice of someone to respond. I increased to 2 stars from my single star previously offered. That was for returning my call.

    1. I still rate it low and don’t recommend it based on their Adobe style of “please pay us regularly”. Once a car is paid off, you get to drive it and modify it and sell it or do what you please with it. An app offers nothing of the sort, and these guys just keep collecting so nothing is paid off.

    2. Arrogant of them to think I’d like all of their apps. So, if I only liked one, I’d be paying for everything they have but only use the one. I thought iTunes killed the idea that albums had to be purchased in order to get just one song? Funny how history hasn’t taught some people anything.

    Greed is alive and well.

    One day, like high interest mortgages, these pay as you go offers will be considered predatory. Very disconcerting that people find this an acceptable practice for something that never achieves ownership level for the user. Maybe someday people will learn. Meanwhile, the developers reap all the rewards.

  • Signing up for a trial after 2 levels, no thanks

    Letting you play for 2 levels and then wanting a subscription to continue is a bit of a B.S. approach. Uninstalled almost as soon as I got it. I’m happy to play for a bit and then pay a once off price to get rid of ads or continue playing, but $3.99 a week is a bit steep.
  • Ridiculous

    There’s no way people actually pay to play this game, right?
  • Stupid. Charges $2.95/week

    I never review apps but this actually made me mad so I thought I’d warn people. You play two levels and then can only continue if you pay 2.95 a week!
  • Am I Being Charged?

    This game basically forced me into the “free trial, and then charge after a week” I’m not sure if it’s charging me right now, and I don’t know how to cancel it. The game is too hard and a sad attempt at a minimalist puzzle game.
  • Get stuck on one puzzle and forget it

    I was enjoying this app for the first several puzzles, but I get to one that seems impossible, and I’m sure I tried every combination that exists yet still I can’t progress. The authors of this app should make a mechanism by which a player can earn a hint or a cheat or something. As for now I have no more use for this app because there’s no way I can move forward. I’m now deleting this app and I advise anyone who doesn’t want waste their money to find another puzzle app to buy.

  • Not free

    Listing this as free is just an outright lie. You get to play 2 levels that require zero thought and then you have to pay $2.50 weekly to play anything else.
