Sketchy
This app is extremely sketchy. I immediately turned off all allowances to mic/camera/notifications and deleted the app once I got to the puzzle that I realized was making me say “Hello” in every language. There was no asking for permission or disclaimer that my information could be/would be sold (that I saw). One of the QR camera puzzles was flipped to my face and the hint said “Let me see”. Just red flags everywhere. Know what you’re putting your money into before you do it. EDIT: Look, I’m just going to say it… The creator, Ryan, acts like a total baby when some people give him anything other than a “5 star” review. I read A LOT of the reviews on his app and he even told someone who gave him a 1 star, “…It doesn’t matter because yours will get lost in all the 5 star reviews” Like, dude… it didn’t. He literally had an entire argument over the review section with a customer who was unsatisfied with his app. People are going to hate it, dude. You are asking for their opinion and they are giving it to you. You can’t sass them just because you don’t like their response 😂
…a whole year later and you’re still a cry baby. Hope you didn’t think too hard on that response. 🤘🏼Show lessitsash91

Sorry I missed your review. If you'd looked up the App Privacy scorecard on the app store page where you left this review you'd see that I don't collect anything identifying and go through great lengths to not personal information. If you read any of the prompts before I ask for permission you'd see my assurances that I don't send any data off device, save anything, etc. Not sure what else I can do to win your trust besides hop on a FaceTime call to explain. I don't have any problem with anyone disliking my work, but a one-star review for something you obviously enjoyed enough to buy feels like a false attempt to send some sort of "message". Blackbox may seem sketchy but it's one of the least sketchy games out there. I could easily inject the whole thing with sketchy ad tools and data trackers and be a lot richer for it but I have consciously chosen not to so yeah it riles me up when people assume the worst and don't do their homework.BlackBox Review
Now, Let me start off with I do t usually write reviews but, anyways. This is hi restyled the best game ever and I would play this more than Pokémon Go. And like i know I just downloaded this game not to long ago but this game is super fire and I don’t think I will ever forget this. Although it would be nice to unlock all those nice paid levels because it would make it a lot more fun for the levels to be free since you the game you know is free. Also, I do t want to keep getting into a game where it keeps showing the same as to tell me to buy packs and not gonna lie it’s pretty annoying but I would also like to add that if we could make our own levels like a community tab for people who play black box, could share it ALL AROUND THE WORLD so we can played other peoples levels. That would be really cool but that’s all for now and MrDeveloperRyan it would be nice to read my review because I don’t think people would read reviews like any other developer.Show lessProJonez
Amazing
I love the concept of this game and i think that it is very good but it took me w while to get past the first puzzle and i know that it’s supposed to take a long time to get past puzzles like that, but i am very dumb so it took me a while. Other then that i love how this game is made, even though it took me a while to get past the first puzzle i love this game, it relieves a lot of stress that i have, and i love how creative the game is as well. I have never written a review on a game before but i knew that i had to write a review on this game because i love the game so much, and i just the game today! I hope that you keep making creative games just like this one and i will be sure to check them out and maybe write another review on that game, that’s all! Keep up the good work!!Show lessash23636
Quite easily my favorite app I’ve ever owned
This app is the perfect mixture of challenging, puzzling, and minimalistic yet modern. I absolutely love going at each and every little challenge with no hints, and just figuring them out as I go. I’ve had this app for a long time, and I still haven’t even solved some of them. I’d talk to my friends who also had the game and talk about which ones we had figured out, and taunt eachother if another couldn’t figure it out. The different ways that you use your phone to solve these puzzles is ridiculously impressive too. It literally uses almost every feature of your phone, and it doesn’t even feel like an app, it feels like it’s own entity in your phone. It’s really cool and interesting I’m a super fun wayShow lesselwbl
To clever by far…
Either I’m stupid or this game is stupid; OK, maybe we’re both stupid but the point is there’s no point.
I downloaded the app and the screen came on. There was cool noise and by tilting my phone I actually could create melodies. When I was done soon around and wanted to find out more I look for a table of contents or somewhere to click or some explanation on how to get the different visuals that we see in the App Store. Couldn’t figure it out. Tried to find information online. No dice. Don’t get me wrong, even being used as a theremin like musical instrument, the app is beautiful and the sounds are lovely. It’s one thing however to sell mystery in the challenge people by asking them if you are you good enough for you clever enough? But if somebody downloads your game and is clueless on how to figure it out then what’s the point? Sure it says you can solve puzzles without touching the phone but I would expect that would be a landing pageFrom which you could sign up, or have a table of contents, or some explanation of what’s going on. If I had to guess, maybe the idea is to hold the phone so that it no longer makes noise? I don’t know…I’m cluelessShow lessGuitarUniverse
Like No Other!
When I first saw this game I was confused about what it was, so I read about it, and got hooked even before I downloaded it😀, and after taking a look at the reviews I saw this game isn’t a ripoff like much other games. When I downloaded it I was immediately introduced to the creative game design and levels, and I was so excited to keep trying to beat this game (which I’m still working on :D). I have to say I LOVE how I can hop on this app and play without the annoyance of ads popping up every 2 seconds, and it’s even cooler how cheap the “Full Version” is, instead of being $50-$100 like some other apps, it’s mere dollars, and the app isn’t pushy towards buying it either. I also can’t get enough on how creative this game is! I mean all the small jokes, comments and idiotic statements, it’s just amazing! Along with the insanely hard and mind boggling puzzles it’s just amazing. I read a review on another app awhile back and it said “Nothing good comes with free” and I thought I agreed with that until I got this app. Thank you for putting a bit of amazing ness and creativity into the App Store, I truly think this work from one person can do a lot. See ya 😏😄😎Show lessGuest987654321

So glad to have you on board!!“Just plain good”
Normally I hate puzzle games but this game I don’t know what it is but the puzzles that make you think outside the box the creativity the devs put in this game. Like do I stand up spin around circles? Tilt my screen? Yell into the Microphone . This game is not plain not bitter but it is a sweet game the controls are awesome getting threw levels doing something you think would not work and it works you are speechless when that happens. To me it’s not plain not bitter but sweet and if it was plain it would be just plain good. This game can make me spend hours on. By the way I HATE most mobile games but this game is “just plain good”. This just is mind boiling that this game is free (in app purchases are in tho) like that’s crazy! I would pay 5 bucks just to have 30 levels because their so hard. This game is great download it just give it a shot. Trust me you’ll love it... Make more mobile games like this man we need good mobile like this. Keep up the good work. And keep thinking outside the box . The black box.Show lessNot a trash can

I appreciate this!! And thank you for the support! :)Loving this game so far
Just got it today. Playing so quickly although I’m stuck on a couple of things. Regardless it’s a ton a of fun. Mad respect to the dev, the amount of Easter eggs and thought that had to go into this is nothing if not impressive. Not to mention the overall aesthetic, the look and feel of the game, is absolutely enthralling, i don’t think there’s a name for the style but it feels akin to “Flow Free” a game used to play all the time on my iPod touch when I was younger, only this feels more suited for modern software and hardware alike. Completely recommend. I’ve probably already spent $5 on hints but the dev deserves it haha. I’m just captivated by making progress in this game! It is somehow so effective at making you want to keep going. The game does a great job of making progress fun, and rewarding you with more of itself. Genius haha.Show lessLegoKiva
Awesome!
I’ve been reading through the bad 1-star reviews and just wanted to set some things straight. First, don’t say the game is stupid or confusing just because you don’t understand it. Not everyone has common sense. It isn’t the game’s fault. Second, I don’t understand why people think it’s a scam. This game is very fun and unique and unlike any other game, and is very well developed in my opinion. Great quality, no suspicious elements or anything. You don’t have to allow the game to access contacts, camera, microphone, etc. It makes it clear that they are only for adding new possibilities to the limits of the levels. Such a fun game! Always challenging and so satisfying when you complete a level. P. S. I hope every $2.99 you get really does go towards coffee.Show lessKindPuppiesaresocute
Just a few things ;)
This game is amazing!! I don’t often write reviews for games, but I can’t help but love this game. I never thought it possible to do half the things you put into this app!
I have, however, gotten a bit stuck of a few levels. This is nothing against the app but… take for example the sound level. I understand the gimmick of blowing or “sh”ing into the mic to cause the bubbles that fill the boxes, but that top one just won’t fill. The hints suggest the “shh”, and I did that the point I was out of breath. But the top box, though being covered by bubbles multiple times, never filled. Do you think this might be a bug, or am I just doing something wrong?
Still, great game, love everything about it!Show lessinkythefox
