However, it is far too costly to stop ads compared to other apps. ### 5/5 — Molto bello *2019-06-14, version 2.0.1* Devo dire che mi piace molto è una continua sfida, ti costringe a pensare. ### 5/5 — Fun for nana *2019-06-08, version 2.0.1* Fun and keeps your brain thinking while your just sitting ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2019-05-03, version 2.0.1* What an absolutely BRILLIANT game. Have just reached world ten and boy, don’t it get harder. Well done to the game designers. Please keep the worlds coming. Once again BRILLIANT. ### 5/5 — Simple concept, enjoyable play *2019-04-02, version 1.9.1* If you have ever complained that a game is too short, this is for you. 80 levels and 10-20 puzzles per level. Some are easy and some are nearly impossible. The number of hints double every time you use one. You must manually reset every time or risk finishing a puzzle by asking for one hint- and getting 12. ### 5/5 — Love this game!! *2019-03-11, version 1.9.0* I am addicted to this game. It is fun and relaxing...until you get to the harder levels. Thankfully there are hints for when you get stuck. The only thing that is missing is a way to save your progress so you can start where you left off on another device. ### 5/5 — Very enjoyable *2019-02-10, version 1.7.0* I love patterns, designs and colors, so this game is perfect for me. It’s very relaxing- no timers! I just started World 10. As the puzzles become more complex the individual pieces become smaller and the patterns are a little harder to see. This isn’t a complaint-it’s just part of the game, but if you have a hard time seeing detail on small objects or photos you may find the higher levels a bit frustrating. ### 5/5 — Bello *2018-12-19, version 1.7.0* Bellissimo e rilassante ### 4/5 — Great game *2018-08-14, version 1.7.0* This is an awesome game, very challenging. Just wish the game could be backed up to game center or Facebook. ### 5/5 — Really Relaxing *2018-07-21, version 1.7.0* Very Zen. Unusual puzzle game. Is so much fun it is now on my favorites list. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2018-02-12, version 1.4.2* I just love this game! Some levels really needed thinking about while others were less tricky but still needed some concentration. This is the best game of its sort that I have played in a long time. Simply brilliant. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great Game *2023-05-02, version 3.0* This Game Is Great The Only Problem is Video Ads And I Want The Gone ### 1/5 — Problems *2018-09-03* Nice game until it jams. ### 2/5 — Don’t like adds *2023-08-17, version 3.0* This is a great puzzle app however it’s spoilt by adverts. Please make the option available for removing adverts whilst playing game. Other apps charge a small cost to do this. I don’t like the idea of kids playing the app and having them pop up. ### 3/5 — No way to remove ads? *2023-05-18, version 3.0* The game is good, but I kept running across ads. I headed to the settings because I have no problem paying to remove ads to support the developers. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a way to do that. So, sadly, I will be deleting this game. ### 3/5 — No Multiplayer *2020-01-20, version 2.2.1* Great game. Really wish there were options to challenge other members or players. ### 3/5 — Free hints *2019-08-13, version 2.0.1* Love the game. I’ve downloaded it and uninstalled just so I can play again and again. But recently I’ve been having a problem with the free hints. I haven’t been able to get any at all. ### 3/5 — Ein schöner Zeitvertreib dieses Puzzle *2017-08-21, version 1.2* Mit Kombinatorik und Logik kommt man bis Welt 20 schon recht weit. Danach aber wurden die Möglichkeiten so zahlreich dass man ohne zusätzliche Hinweise nicht recht weiter kommt. Es erscheint mir als wäre dies Absicht um kostenpflichtige Hinweise zu verkaufen. Bis Welt 20 hat man bestimmt die meisten der kostenlosen Hinweise aufgebraucht. Leider hakt das Spiel auch ab und an und lässt sich nur durch die Aufgabe des gerade gespielten Puzzles wieder spielen. ### 3/5 — Upps🙈 *2017-06-08, version 1.2* Leider gibt es keine hilfe mehr und komme seit geraumer Zeit nicht weiter wäre schade die App deswegen zu löschen ### 4/5 — If Only… *2025-07-15, version 3.0* I loved this game. I’ll always give a pattern game a chance, and this one was really nice. Relaxing music, a nice progression in difficulty, and beautiful colors. The only reason I couldn’t give it five stars is because there’s no option to pay to remove ads. To be clear, it’s a free game and you can go pretty far in the game before the ads start, so I have to give the developer credit for that. Even though it’s not for me without the IAP to remove ads, I do recommend the game. ### 4/5 — Addicting! *2019-10-03, version 2.2.1* I love this game! Minimal ads, challenging but not too hard. The only set back is the lack of available free hints. They don’t have enough and you can only watch an ad to get 1 hint per puzzle. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the PUZZLES … *2026-05-30, version 3.0* Addiction for me … On World 42 … My world will be over when the game is done … What will I do ??? It’s fun and highly solvable … Makes u think … ### 5/5 — Love the PUZZLES … *2026-04-24, version 3.0* Addiction for me … On World 24 and there are only 30 … My world will be over when the game is done … What will I do ??? It’s fun and highly solvable … Makes u think … ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-09-12, version 3.0* Love the game! But is there a way to disable ads? ### 5/5 — Relaxing but getting challenging *2023-07-05, version 3.0* I’m only at World 13 and I’m kinda addicted. Simple gameplay, and at first simple puzzles, but I have a feeling I’m going to be very glad I’ve been accumulating hints. The puzzles are pretty, too. I do hope the developer eventually adds a menu. I’d like to navigate back to older puzzles and play them again, and maybe see a progress map. These would be nice to have, but they’re not really needed. So far, I’m just enjoying playing, solving puzzles, and letting the game do its thing. Nice when I want to chill a bit. ### 5/5 — Amazing puzzle game! *2023-03-12, version 3.0* This is an increasing challenging puzzle game that is a pleasure to play. The design, pattern and colors are beautiful as well. And in an unusual turn of events, the ads are not at all intrusive or take up much time at all. Truly, it is a breath of fresh air. I have played for hours on end and can take a break from it and return to find it challenging again! Thank you to the creators, developers, etc! ### 5/5 — Only 1 thing *2022-09-30, version 3.0* The squares are too small with some puzzles. ### 5/5 — great game! *2022-05-18, version 3.0* thanks for something new & different. hope many more levels are to come. ### 5/5 — Great puzzle game! *2022-04-04, version 3.0* I love unique puzzle game and this definitely is one. I bought the smallest pack of hints and it removed ads, happy about that ### 5/5 — LOVE this game!!!!! And it’s FREE!! *2022-01-13, version 3.0* I love puzzle games.. and jigsaw puzzles. This game seems to meld the two effortlessly!. I often have difficulty focusing on tedious games/ puzzler’s, but I find myself completely obsessed with this game. The higher you go, the harder they get.. and they can be very, very challenging. But, it’s so worth it when you are able to figure it out!! Thankfully, they have hints for some of those levels that make your brain hurt lol. I couldn’t believe that the game was free? Yes, you can buy hints… people keep complaining about the lack of free hints- IT’S A FREE game…I recommend this game to everyone… it’s actually quite relaxing and rewarding at the same time. I’m personally so impressed with myself that I can focus on the most difficult levels… and still complete them. If you are reading this and debating on whether or not to get it, do yourself a favor and go for it! If you aren’t hooked on it… you must not like puzzles:). ### 5/5 — Un gran bel gioco *2021-12-29, version 3.0* Affascinante --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
