### 4/5 — Needs an update

*2020-08-30, version 2.1*

Still a great and relaxing game after all so many years. Would love to see an update for current iPhone models. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Now what?

*2019-04-01, version 2.1*

I beat all levels in about five minutes. Not worth paying for. Needs WAY more levels added.

### 2/5 — Boomshine

*2018-12-02, version 2.1*

Twelve levels that can be beaten in 2min. It’s a fun game, but not worth paying for unless they add more levels.

### 1/5 — Only five levels!?!

*2018-07-28, version 2.1*

I beat this game in five minutes and was done with it. Waste of money.

### 5/5 — Weird.

*2017-09-08, version 2.1*

The game now scores differently. Instead of getting double score when you Boomshine, you get double score when you get the minimum number to clear the level. I like it, but was this intentional?

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2017-06-06, version 2.1*

Sadly, the "improved" has no finesse is clunky and visually disappointing. I'm very disappointed with the complete downgrade of this once great game.

Update: 6/5/17
Now the developer has fixed the details that made the game unplayable. That's a good thing. But the game isn't what it once was. The visual intensity is mellowed by muted colors and the strict adherence to the algorithm no longer allows for anything but completely predictable play. Still a good game, no longer a great game.

### 4/5 — Great update

*2017-06-04, version 2.1*

Very happy to see the update! Long time coming. But what happened to my scores and the ability to put in my name? I liked to put in who played and the date when I got to the end. I could see all the past scores and now I can't.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2017-05-23, version 2.1*

One of my few long-time favorites!

### 5/5 — Love it.

*2017-05-22, version 2.1*

After a graphics hiccup with the May 17 update, this quick fix update made it playable again.

### 5/5 — All Fixed

*2017-05-21, version 2.1*

Working well again..thank you.
