### 3/5 — eh

*2018-01-16*

ok

### 4/5 — Fun puzzling game

*2017-11-03*

As the game progresses, each move can either be your successor or hinderance. This game takes lots of thought and is very fun!

### 4/5 — Good casual puzzle game.

*2017-06-27*

Have a few minutes waiting for something?

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2017-01-21*

It's a really fun and great game. Great for long plane rides or just if you have a lot of time to kill.

### 5/5 — Great game, but needs a bug fix

*2017-01-20*

Been playing this game for a while and it still hasn't gotten old. Only problem is that once I scored too high, it just kept crashing. I'm at 170,000 points/180,000B/ tile level 30 in the classic mode. Please fix! Thanks, and thanks for a solid game.

### 5/5 — A little gem

*2016-12-25*

Infinitely fun and deceptively simple, this game will have you hooked for hours.

### 5/5 — Cool game

*2016-12-19*

It's a good brain teaser

### 5/5 — Addictingly Fun

*2016-12-08*

For a few moments, this game was lost on me. I stopped and went back into the tutorial and everything started coming together. Now I can't stop playing!

### 5/5 — Interesting game

*2016-11-21*

Still need to connect to the theme but looks promising

### 5/5 — Bad Banker!!!

*2016-10-22*

Once you play a few times, it really clicks. An excellent numbers-based puzzle game!

### 5/5 — Who’s up for a challenge?

*2016-10-22*

Easy to pick up, difficult to master. Fun if you’re up to the task.

### 5/5 — Logical

*2016-10-21*

Great app, a lot of fun if you like logic games

### 5/5 — Fun and makes me think

*2016-10-20*

Très bon jeu, comme d'habitude...

### 4/5 — Yes yes

*2016-10-13*

Nice game

### 5/5 — doesn't get old

*2016-10-09*

Surprisingly fun little game that hasn't gotten old. 
I like that it's very playable without making any in-app purchases, although with that said I'm about to make some in-app purchases.

### 5/5 — Great Game! But Game Modes?

*2016-10-03*

I love this game! I finally, today got 841 points (I'd been stuck at under 700 for ages). Very satisfying! But, I cannot figure out how to play the 2 other game modes besides Classic. I've looked everywhere in the app, but I can't find anything to change the mode to Monopole or Tax Haven. Can anyone tell me how to change the mode?

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2016-09-28*

Really addictive! Can't put it down!

### 1/5 — Can’t turn off the sound

*2019-08-18, version 1.23*

I liked this game on Android, but you can’t turn off the beeps on the iOS version. Very annoying.

### 1/5 — No

*2016-09-09*

No

### 1/5 — Too buggy

*2016-07-30, version 1.06*

It would be a fun game if I could get it to respond to my touch. Too frustrating to play. I'll try again if the game gets fixed.

### 1/5 — 손봐야 할 게 너무 많다.

*2016-07-12*

터치도 엉망이고 블럭 순서도 엉망이고......

### 1/5 — It's

*2016-06-27*

Meh at best

### 2/5 — Gameplay not the issue

*2016-07-24, version 1.06*

I enjoy the game quite a bit, but have had serious issues with it crashing somewhere along the startup process with an iPhone 6, 64 gb. 
The idea and execution of the game are great though. Challenging but not so much that it can't be played repeatedly

### 2/5 — Pls

*2016-07-11, version 1.06*

Fix buggy touch interaction

### 2/5 — Not sure

*2016-06-30, version 1.05*

I am not sure about this game. I feel like it needs to be explained a little better and it may need some adjustment for how hard it is. My score each time has been about the same (around 250). My last game I thought was going well, but then I got four 2-value competitors in a row and the game instantly went to hell.  Three or four moves later I was bankrupt.

### 2/5 — Too hard

*2016-06-28, version 1.05*

Gets way too hard too fast.
Not enough info about how scoring works.
Contacts cost much more than they are worth in payoff (this is another area where more explanation might be helpful).
Competitors screw you way faster than it is possible to rebuild. 
I've played a dozen times and have not been able to improve my score. Maybe that is only possible if you buy their expensive cheats.
Getting pretty boring. 
Atomas is much better.

### 2/5 — Swipe detection is extremely bad

*2016-06-24, version 1.03*

I love all the other games by this developer and this one seems very cool but I had to swipe like 15 times to get one square to move. That is really frustrating and please could you fix this then it will be a great game.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Fun to master

*2024-03-14*

Fun game! Unfortunately the difficulty curve peaks a little low so once you master the mechanic you can get to 50,000 points or more with no apparent end.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-12-26*

This is a very decent game! No commercials (or once in a blue moon). There’s options to purchase in the game, but they are not that essential to enjoy the game (as opposed to other games where you need to spend $ after a few rounds to purchase gems etc). Great strategy game! I love it! Same for Atomas and Heatos. I’m delighted to see there are still some developers with integrity.

### 5/5 — Lit!

*2020-12-09*

Someone please make this game famous!

### 5/5 — Intriguing

*2018-04-03*

Sirnic has done it again. After a bit of playing and watching the tutorial a second time I caught on. Quickly got as addicted to this as I have been to Atomas. :)

### 5/5 — HB214 - Still My Favorite Game!!!

*2018-01-27*

Been playing this for a while and enjoy the dynamics of it. I hope you keep this game updated, this is a great game to keep the “brain juices” flowing!!! 👍🏻👍🏻

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2017-07-02*

This games awesome and doesn't get old

### 5/5 — Awesome Game

*2017-06-24*

Really difficult at first, but that's what makes it all the more awesome!

### 5/5 — Fun strategy

*2017-06-22*

Lots of different ways to play

### 5/5 — Good fun once you get the hang of it

*2017-05-08*

Would like to see more options for getting out of a bind like when you get a competitor in a corner.

### 5/5 — Another great game

*2017-03-13*

This gaming company produces brilliantly fun games
