### 3/5 — Servers Down

*2023-09-25, version 1.1.0*

i trued to play but it dont work anymore

### 2/5 — Propaganda D+

*2016-02-26, version 1.1.0*

Muita propaganda saltando tela.

### 4/5 — -1 for gross ads

*2015-07-28, version 1.1.0*

this is a great game, but i need to drop a whole star based on the creepy ads they show that others don't don't. poor show.

### 2/5 — Insomma...

*2015-06-17, version 1.1.0*

Carina l'idea e le musiche mi piacciono, ma...
Il pallino è troppo piccolo, perciò conoscere la posizione esatta è molto (ma molto) difficile. Come si fa a giocare? 
Inoltre il tempo di assorbimento è decisamente più lento della velocità dei nemici, non si ha il tempo materiale di eliminarli!

### 3/5 — Naja

*2015-05-14, version 1.1.0*

Die Spiel Idee ist eigentlich ganz gut ABER wenn ich habe das Gefühl das bei den meisten Karten mein Zeiger Finger zu dick ist und nicht sehen kann wo ich mich grade befinde.
Ich das Gefühl man brauch bei dem Spiel ein durchsichtigen Finger damit die "Kugel" noch sehen kann.

### 2/5 — Thanks Zipheng

*2014-12-03, version 1.0.1*

I wasted a fair amount of time trying to "get" this game before I realized you need a felt tipped stylus in order to have any chance at it. Why the game doesn't mention this in the tutorial is beyond me.

### 4/5 — Bon jeu.

*2014-10-26, version 1.0.1*

Le concept du jeu est très bon, original.

### 4/5 — Addicting

*2014-10-24, version 1.0.1*

Simple structure, decent music and appealing to the mind and eye. Lots of fun!

### 3/5 — Fun idea but doesn't ultimately work

*2014-10-22, version 1.0.1*

The problem here, in my opinion, is less the difficulty and more the inability to see necessary things in the screen because your finger blocks them. You must have your finger on the screen to play, and you have to move it all over. It blocks the crucial enemies that you have to know the locations of. Not sure how to fix it, probably just a fundamental flaw, making the game far more suited to PC than a phone.

### 2/5 — Si seulement...

*2014-10-22, version 1.0.1*

Si seulement on pouvais se déplacer en faisant bouger notre iphone plutôt qu utiliser un doigt qui empêche de voir l écran .
Du potentiel , c est vraiment dommage

### 5/5 — great

*2014-10-17, version 1.0.1*

Love this

### 4/5 — 5. Özel güç

*2014-10-15, version 1.0.1*

Guzel bir oyun ama kisir dongu icinde kaliniyor. Belli bir parttan sonra ilerlenmiyor. Guncelleme ile Cesitli ozel gucler verilse cok daha guzel olacagini dusunuyorum.

### 2/5 — Interesting concept but lack of holding power

*2014-10-15, version 1.0.1*

Very interesting game concept.

But from level 1 itself, it's already so hard that most ppl would give up after a few tries

Add to this that there are no levelling up of powers (eg increased absorption rates etc) makes this a game you might play for a short while but after dying for the umpteenth time, you'll just delete this app and move on in life

Too bad. Good concept. Lack of staying or holding power for players to want to keep going at it. 

2/5

App deleted after less than a day

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly

*2023-04-19, version 1.1.0*

I can't even get into a game to play it and I have an iphone 14 pro max.

### 1/5 — Nope.

*2016-09-27, version 1.1.0*

Do not even download. This game is trying to be a ripoff of the many "impossible" games out there. Also, this game has been copied by someone else, the copy's name is Magsorb, if I'm not wrong.

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2015-07-12, version 1.1.0*

I hate how you die whenever you bump into the wall or any enemy

### 1/5 — Injouable

*2014-11-12, version 1.0.1*

Passez le tutoriel sans encombre. Mais injouable par la suite.

### 1/5 — Impossible

*2014-10-19, version 1.0.1*

Game is too hard to be any fun.

### 1/5 — Troppo difficile, stufa subito

*2014-10-19, version 1.0.1*

Il gioco sarebbe pure carino, ma è troppo difficile (fin dal livello 1) e non sembra possibile individuare una strategia di gioco vincente. Confusionario e troppo legato al caso, insomma. Per finire, la pubblicitá appare diabolicamente (ed improvvisamente) sopra al pulsante "Replay": impossibile evitarla. Gioco disinstallato dopo pochi minuti.

### 1/5 — To many ads

*2014-10-18, version 1.0.1*

The game is great but the amount of popups keep sending you to the App Store at least three times a minute. The ads kill the user experience.

### 1/5 — Nul et trop de pub

*2014-10-15, version 1.0.1*

Quasiment injouable

### 1/5 — Good idea, impractically designed

*2014-10-12, version 1.0.1*

The game is good for the first few rounds, but once you hit level six it becomes very hard to advance to the next level. Over and over you will see your score be stuck in the 120-140 range, until you realize it simply isn't as entertaining as you though, and your frustrations could be put to better use elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Stupidly impossible

*2014-10-11, version 1.0.1*

Nice idea, but the game is impossible to play on a phone screen. You can't see what you're doing, and the game pace doesn't warm up through progressively harder levels. Download and enjoy your 6 second games!

### 5/5 — Une tuerie

*2016-02-02, version 1.1.0*

*2015-02-05, version 1.1.0*

This game has the style!

### 5/5 — Wonderfully Addictive

*2015-01-13, version 1.1.0*

Simple, but really fun.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2015-01-10, version 1.1.0*

Oh my god, this is so good and addictive. I don't know why not many people have it. It's so much better than Candy Crush Saga, which for some reason is popular.

Anyway, it's a great game. If you don't have it, you need to.

### 5/5 — Great Game!!!

*2014-12-19, version 1.1.0*

This game is addictive and fun!!! :)

### 5/5 — Better if you play it sideways

*2014-11-03, version 1.0.1*

Refreshing. Good music, interesting experience. But you really can't see where blocks come from beneath your finger. Therefore I play this game sideways. Sensitivity is a little bit high.

### 5/5 — Addicting and fun

*2014-10-20, version 1.0.1*

Fun, free, addicting.

### 5/5 — Addictive!!

*2014-10-19, version 1.0.1*

Seriously awesome game!!! I'm hooked...

### 5/5 — Ottima

*2014-10-18, version 1.0.1*

Ottima app molto bella e semplice nella struttura, coinvolgente nel gioco
