I appreciate the “hint” and “am I stuck“ buttons as they help you solve tricky games. ### 5/5 — Best Ball Sort Puzzle There Is! *2026-01-04, version 1.15* I have a few games on my phone. I have concluded that Boy Howdy is by far the best game developer out there. They give a clean, pleasant interface with no annoying full-screen ads. They are an American company in the Midwest. I recommend you try their games. ### 5/5 — Great game, ongoing challenge *2025-12-11, version 1.14* I have been playing this game for years and still get challenged by the levels. ### 5/5 — No ads and free undo! *2025-11-21, version 1.14* The only problem is that the free undo means you never lose. Also genius mode never gets harder. This game could use new features to make it more challenging and interesting. But it’s still awesome. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-11-10* Great low stress game! Choose your preferred level of difficulty. And just play. No increasing difficulty (unless you choose it). Just a great puzzle game to destress. I love it! ### 5/5 — incredible new feature *2025-11-01, version 1.14* today (halloween 2025 i noticed a new feature - “undo just enough”. instead of undoing 1 at a time and checking if it’s still stuck, it goes back to a point of solve-a-bility and then stops! top tier quality of life upgrade. i legit love this app ### 5/5 — Just Enough is brilliant! *2025-11-01, version 1.14* I’ve been enjoying this game for awhile, but the addition of the Rewind Just Enough feature makes it really great - thank you! ### 5/5 — Fun and relaxing *2025-10-03* As with all Boy Howdy games I have played, the ads are unobtrusive. This game is one of the best because you get to choose the level of challenge, rather than the game being progressively more difficult, with a shorter term of playability. You can play as much as you want at any particular level of difficulty. I find it very relaxing and just challenging enough. Great puzzle game! ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2025-03-26, version 1.11* In my previous review I mentioned that the game needed an “Am I stuck?” button to let players know if it’s worth continuing. And that’s what the developers added. The dead-end frustration is gone now, and the game is pure joy. Five stars! And one more thing. I really like that we can pick our own level of difficulty. Too many games force you to grind through levels. Level 1, then Level 2, etc. ### 5/5 — Challenge *2025-03-19, version 1.11* Using my brain is good exercise ### 5/5 — :) *2025-03-03, version 1.10* Just exactly what it looks like with very reasonable ads. None of those full page loud ones. Good range of difficulty too ### 5/5 — The best ball sort so far *2025-01-23, version 1.9* There aren’t any ads, it’s not timed, I can turn off sound effects in the settings, and the levels never end! I’ve been playing it for about a year. ### 5/5 — Best version of liquid sort game *2025-01-04, version 1.9* Really fun puzzle game. Perfect for a phone or tablet ### 5/5 — Streamlined for speed puzzling *2024-12-05, version 1.9* Not only is this free, lacking pop-up ads and offline, it’s streamlined. There are no unnecessary animations slowing down the gameplay or even ‘celebrating’ the end of a level, and you can even choose your preferred level of difficulty from the very beginning. There are no skins or gacha gimmicks or minigames, but that just means there’s nothing to slow you down. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Great game, except… *2023-02-08, version 1.4* You get to pick your level of difficulty. You get unlimited hints. And the ads are small and out of the way. So what’s not to like? Well, here’s what’s not to like. Sometimes your moves will take you to a dead end. The puzzle will then become unsolvable. But you are not told that! So you will continue to play a game that you cannot win. Yes, if you tap the ‘Hints’ button you’d be told that you cannot win. Otherwise you’ll be given a hint. But I do not want a hint! This game would be so much better if you were simply told you when you were at a dead end, and so cannot win. ### 2/5 — All Sort Puzzle .game *2021-06-01, version 1.0* Get rid of the ad at the bottom it stops the game, freezes so you can’t get hint or click for a new game Otherwise simple yet challenging ### 3/5 — I like the game, butttttf *2025-04-24, version 1.11* My phone heated up like a rotisserie oven after downloading this game. It’s a shame because there was no ads. I was really enjoying it and all of a sudden my phone got really hot so hot. I had to put it in the freezer for a good five minutes. If sometime you change the way this game was made so it doesn’t use so much resources and processor usage so that it heats up the phone. Let me know. ### 3/5 — Great game, except… *2025-02-18* You get to pick your level of difficulty. You get unlimited hints. And the ads are small and out of the way. So what’s not to like? It’s this. Sometimes your moves will take you to a dead end. The puzzle will then become unsolvable. But you are not told that. So you will continue to play a game that you cannot win. Yes, if you tap the ‘Hints’ button you’ll be told you cannot win. Otherwise you’ll be given a hint. But I do not want a hint.

I wanted to rate this higher because it has lots of levels and options to play. The reason for 3 star rating? I want the ability to actually move the balls. Not liking touching the balls and the game decides where to move them. ### 4/5 — Ball Sort Challenging *2026-06-27, version 1.21* Fun game in easy mode…esp if, like me, you like to do something while watching tv or sitting in a waiting room. Great mind exercise in Tricky & Hard modes. I used the Hints to figure out best way to sort colors. Good for pre-senior minds. ### 4/5 — Love it! *2025-11-13, version 1.14* Great low stress game! Choose your preferred level of difficulty. And just play. No increasing difficulty (unless you choose it). Just a great puzzle game to destress. One gripe, though. I made it to the top 10% of players in the game, and then my progress locked up. No matter how many games I play, my score and number of wins remains frozen. I shut off my devices and rebooted. Still frozen. So apparently I can no longer compete due to some unknown bug. ### 4/5 — Puzzle *2025-10-28, version 1.13* Great game! ### 4/5 — Review *2021-06-12, version 1.1* Yet another winner from boy howdy. I love the tricky mode. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What a fun game this is! *2026-07-25, version 1.21* I liked this game but thought it should have new options, that for me, would make game more playable. I passed my ideas on to the programmers and voi lê! ### 5/5 — Love this free game!!! *2026-06-30, version 1.21* I really enjoy this game. It’s totally free!!! And the different levels offer a nice variety. All Boy Howdy games are free. I also really enjoy Connect Jewels, the combination of different levels & free hints, make it easy to get lost for a bit. Thanks for offering these engaging games. Best to you folks! 🎆🕊🕊🕊 ### 5/5 — Addicted! *2026-06-28, version 1.21* Maddening, yet so satisfying to solve! It has kept its fascination for longer than most other games. ### 5/5 — Fun, addictive, and ad-free! *2026-06-22, version 1.21* Boy Howdy designs great games for the casual player. This one is definitely addictive and has some great feature, including an “Am I Stuck?” button and a “Hint” button for when you just don’t see a possible move. If you do happen to be stuck, you are offered an option to go back to the last move where winning is still possible. Brilliant! This is now one of my favorite games. ### 5/5 — Addicted! *2026-05-19, version 1.18* Maddening, yet so satisfying to solve! It has definitely kept its fascination for longer than most other games that I’ve had. ### 5/5 — Great games *2026-04-12, version 1.18* Boy Howdy games are very good for keeping your brain agile and unfailingly interesting and challenging to play, so glad I found them ### 5/5 — GREAT GAME!! *2026-03-21, version 1.17* After several days and trying 4 other ball sort games yours is the BEST! I am surprised how I keep coming back to this game and loving it. It's challenging yet un-frustrating because of the redo option, or if you need it, the hint option. The game is smooth and pleasant compared to the other games when you touch the screen. If I had known I would like it this much I would gladly pay for this game. I do not use games that require constant in-app purchases or require you to watch ads. There are so few of those games left. Your game was hard to find but am so glad I did! I look forward to potential updates and cosmetic changes as long as it doesn’t require ads. ### 5/5 — Great games *2026-03-04, version 1.17* A lot of time an effort has gone Into these games,any you should try. ### 5/5 — Ball sort puzzle *2026-01-29, version 1.15* Always been one of favourite games. You can keep getting harder games or easier however you feel! Thank you for no adverts too. ### 5/5 — No ads = paradise *2026-01-29, version 1.15* This, as with all BH games, is a great way to pass time, exercise your brain and have a little fun without annoying ads.
