0h n0 is easy to understand and fun to master. You can choose between a range of boards, the bigger the board, the more patterns to analyze and solve. Lower boards are great for new players to make sure they don't get overwhelmed and incrementally level-up. As they become a seasoned player they may know that each board can be completed without guessing, so the different sized boards can offer a zen like experience as they zip their way to completion. Every individual has a different baseline level of stimulation, allowing seasoned players to go back to the earlier boards and find their own zen board. My zen board is the 5x5.
The competitive aspect is engaging for me personally. I compete with myself for the best times, but try to go for the endurance "boards completed" leaderboard for my zen board. I've been tracking a few active players in a spreadsheet and it's cool to see our rates vs absolute scores.
The app itself is distraction free. No ads. No internet required. You can play anytime, anywhere, and fully immerse yourself into the game.
The app does have some imperfections, right now there are 3 main bugs with the app, first is that you can't skip through the menu making the "impatient" achievement impossible, and the second is opening game center sometimes crashes the game. Pairing those two together can be annoying for competitive play. The other bug is that the timer gets disabled when you visit certain menus (How to play does this i think).
I've also had some fun exploring potential shortcuts to save time. I've found out two major time savers which I call the blind dot rule and the related dot rule. I leave that as an exercise for the reader 😉
Overall, great game! ❤️
