I know space has been tight lately, and I completely betrayed your trust by downloading Blackbox—a masterclass in psychological warfare masquerading as a puzzle game. Instead of filling your precious gigabytes with meaningful photos or useful apps, I forced you to host a digital migraine that you didn’t ask for, deserve, or need. It was totally unfair on my part to have you weighed down with a “game” that exists solely to spike my blood pressure and transition me from total zen to pure, blinding rage! I have scrubbed your precious system of Blackbox’s filthy code, officially purging that absolute nightmare from our lives forever! Thank you for not exploding under the pressure and for holding the line during this dark chapter. I swear to never trash your sacred gigabytes like this ever again! From this day forth, expect nothing less than certified digital gold. Deeply sorry, Your Owner ### 1/5 — Level 6 *2026-08-22, version 3.1* No way to beat level 6 (silence). Completely silent and still registering noise. Over it, deleting app. ### 1/5 — Boring *2026-08-16, version 3.0.16* Challenges that just involve you using your phone. This app would be better off as the tutorial for how to use your phone. ### 1/5 — Game feels a little unplayable. *2026-08-16, version 3.0.16* On the orange one where I think you have to climb a literal mountain, I am not doing that I will fly in a plane Because I just happen to fly in a plane in September anyway game needs a bit more uh content you can play from your own room so one star sadly ### 1/5 — Abundant Pay Walls *2026-08-09, version 3.0.16* Fun for the first few puzzles, pay walls after the first 5. Dev - You’re no genius ### 1/5 — Cool game. Prompting after each action to pay for hints or more levels, not cool *2026-08-02, version 3.0.14* I’ve gotten a prompting to pay for this free game 10 times in 5 mins. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-07-28, version 3.0.14* Cash grab for an hour of entertainment, spend your money elsewhere ### 1/5 — Skibidi *2026-07-25, version 3.0.14* S ### 1/5 — Good *2026-07-11, version 3.0.11* It’s pretty good ### 1/5 — Problem Submit. *2026-07-10, version 3.0.11* Sorry for the bad rate. I’ll delete this comment once the problem is solved. The magnifying glass level (on the left of the WiFi level) cannot be solved with iPhone spotlight in iOS 18&26. Please tell me if I'm doing it wrong or it's just a bug. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — One of the best logic games I’ve ever played *2026-08-29, version 3.1* Never have I seen an amazing logic.
