### 2/5 — Great concept but too challenging

*2018-11-19, version 1.3.6*

I really like everything about the game besides the fact that within the first several levels, it gets extremely hard and frustrating. There are situations were I realized that within 29 seconds I would most likely lose and it gets so frustrating. If the learning curve didn't go from "here's how to move the triangle" straight to, "1% chance to win," I probably would not have deleted the app.

If the game had a casual mode, because I like the concepts and art, I would have rated this as 5 stars. I stopped playing games that were near impossible to win, solely for bragging rights, when I left kindergarten.

### 2/5 — What's the objective????

*2016-08-28, version 1.3.2*

I absolutely do not get what the objective is to this game. Do I touch the blue circle? Do I not touch the blue circle??  You could do a better job at explaining just what is the point to this game in the first place!!?!?!

### 3/5 — Pretty Cool

*2016-07-17, version 1.3.2*

Good: cool sounds and graphics, easy to understand- it's FUN & different.

Bad: controlling movement. In custom tilt you move downward very slowly even with your screen vertical. To move fast you have to tilt *beyond* vertical but then you can't see the screen....

### 2/5 — Hmmmmm....

*2016-07-08, version 1.3.2*

I didn't get the allure of this app. Guess some might find it amusing. I did not. It wasn't fun to me. Kinda boring.

### 3/5 — It is ok

*2016-07-07, version 1.3.2*

Decent game.

### 4/5 — Really fun

*2016-06-21, version 1.3*

This is a fun and challenging game. Especially when trying to get all three stars for each level. My only gripe is that the stupid achievement banner pops up DURING a level. When a third of your screen is blocked by a banner, that's exceptionally annoying. I'll give 5 stars if that gets fixed. Praying for new levels!!

### 1/5 — Doesn't even load...

*2016-06-19, version 1.3*

Gets stuck at the splash screen (made with Unity) on my 6S. Tried several times.

### 1/5 — Can't see entire screen on 6S

*2016-06-18, version 1.3*

I downloaded through Starbucks app. Doesn't load until I cancel Game center, which I don't use, then it won't load properly.  I see parts of words.  Can't tell what to do? I've tried restarting several times, with no improvement. Will uninstall.

### 1/5 — It doesn't even load

*2016-06-18, version 1.3*

I downloaded this game because this is Starbucks Pick of the Week. It didn't even load. It stuck at the screen with logo. I tried a few more time and the game finally load, but text on the screen was cut off. Doesn't it support IPhone 6 Plus?

### 1/5 — Does not load correctly on iPhone 6+

*2016-06-16, version 1.3*

The application was unusable due to the introduction screens sized incorrectly.

### 1/5 — Написано «бесплатно» а сняли 15 рублей!

*2018-11-05, version 1.3.6*

Верните деньги!

### 1/5 — Annoyed

*2017-04-08, version 1.3.4*

I've tried to play it but it gets stuck on the opening screen.

Edit: it's fixed! The creator reached out to me personally and fixed it. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Stuck/unbeatable

*2016-08-30, version 1.3.2*

Can't get past level 37. Can't get to the shapes to do anything to them because there is a wall in between. The slotted entryway is in the wrong side of the wall...

### 1/5 — So buggy

*2016-08-13, version 1.3.2*

It doesn't fully download, nor would be deleted! Is it a virus?!
I've restarted my phone a zillion times but it still doesn't go away; it has been that way for the past two weeks; I already hate it!

### 1/5 — Unbelievably Frustrating, Not Fun At All

*2016-07-27, version 1.3.2*

So, I kind of get what the creators were going for, however, it's terribly executed. The tutorial only explains the bare minimum, not what any of the other mechanics you'll encounter will do, and when you reach them, they don't explain it then either. Considering each level is timed, this is a big problem; trying to figure out what everything does against the clock as well. BESIDES that, the tilt mechanics are ok at best, and the touch mechanics are HORRIBLE. They also don't mentions that once you absorb the color from the orbs, they are STILL out there and will bounce you wildly around if you numb into one, same as if you numb into one of the red "bad" ones. So on a level full of orbs (say level 3, yes, that's the third level) you could be bounced around like a rubber ball and have no control until you stop, and if some of that knocks you into the red ones, you loose time.  I don't see a point in making the "good" orbs stay as dangerous obstacles once you've done what you need to with them. I played to level 6 and was just too aggravated to continue. A game should be fun, not frustrating. And yes I did try all the different types of tilt and all 4 types of touch, though I can figure what the difference was. I'm deleting it now.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work!!

*2016-07-04, version 1.3.2*

Downloaded the app through my Starbucks offers. Once I redeemed my code, app began to download, app is now stuck in waiting.... 😠I have tried uninstall and nothing works. Now the icon is stuck on my screen and won't open or delete.

### 1/5 — Confused

*2016-07-04, version 1.3.2*

I really have no idea what the hell is going on in this game. The tutorial doesn't do much to explain the point or what exactly you are doing and why.

### 1/5 — Landscape Screen

*2016-06-29, version 1.3.1*

Can't get passed landscape screen...

### 1/5 — Hopefully but flopped

*2016-06-28, version 1.3.1*

I tried to play but every time I open the app it gets stuck on the screen telling you to play with the phone in landscape mode :/

### 1/5 — How do you play this?

*2016-06-21, version 1.3*

The tutorial is crap. Seriously, it doesn't tutor you on how you're supposed to play it; it shows you what to avoid so you don't lose points or kill yourself. Oh! And how to "go faster."

It does not tell you what the other "orbs" are, what they're for, or what to do with them. 

It doesn't tell you how using the touchscreen instead of angling the phone works, or what the different speed levels do. 

I have wasted too much time trying to figure out how to play a game, than actually playing it. The tutorial is of zero help. 

Looks like it could be fun, but if you have no idea how to play, it's not fun. Sorry, collect all the Peebles before time runs out doesn't cut it.

### 5/5 — Классно!

*2018-11-09, version 1.3.6*

Довольно необычное управление для последнего времени. Напоминает игры баланс и лабиринт, в которые играл ещё на simbian)) Спасибо разработчикам за акцию!👍

### 5/5 — Супер

*2018-06-27, version 1.3.5*

Я в эту игру играл на андроиде. И как то забыл название. Сейчас нашёл. И радости нет предела. Это лучшая игра в которую я играл

### 5/5 — My favorite arcade style game

*2016-07-07, version 1.3.2*

If you like quick arcade games with simple controls then this game is for you. The levels never get boring because new mechanics are always being introduced. Tons of fun and highly recommended!!!

### 5/5 — Exceedingly clever design and mechanics

*2016-06-23, version 1.3.1*

The greatest thing about this game is that it never stagnates. Just when you think it's about to get repetitive, something new gets thrown in the mix. Getting through all of the levels is pretty tough, but very satisfying. Art and sound is also wonderful. Overall a great experience!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2016-06-22, version 1.3*

Game

### 5/5 — Great!

*2016-06-19, version 1.3*

The game is amazing and well-designed.  They manage to do a lot of interesting things with a few simple mechanics and the goal of abzorbing blue while avoiding red (and quickly!)
Highly recommend.
Fans should check out the online game Areas.

### 5/5 — Lovely game!

*2016-06-17, version 1.3*

Perfect use of touch controls and a chill soundtrack.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2016-06-16, version 1.3*

Beautiful graphics and rock solid design. Love it!
