### 4/5 — Pretty good but could be better

*2021-08-27*

I really like this game, it has loads of puzzles to get you thinking, and you can challenge yourself as much as you like. It’s really good and I’ve been looking for a way to play this game for a while and this looked like the best app for it. I like the inclusion of a colourblind mode and pastel tones, that make me really like the aesthetic. The one thing I’d change is the fact that you have to have duplicates unless you want to stick to the kids version. I would like to be able to chose whether you want duplicates or how many colours you can have. I tend to find myself sticking to the classic, rather than the timed or sequenced ones and if there was a choice on how long you get for those, it would be good. I might also suggest timing how long it takes you to finish a challenge so you can try to beat your own record. I really love playing this game and I would love it if you could improve it like this!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2025-05-01, version 3.11*

Although it hints when the correct colour is in the correct position the hint does not appear in sequence, it will appear in random order compared to the order of your selected colours, the rules explain this deliberate anomoly but it is a frustrating way to play it. The game should offer the choice to play it the traditional way eg hint should show in the same sequence to your selection when the correct color is in the correct position.

### 1/5 — Simpelste Werbebanner Spiel.

*2016-03-04*

Langzeit motivierend ist es nicht. Die Hauptfunktion der App scheint die Einnahme von Werbeeinnahmen für den Entwickler zu sein. Das würde erklären warum es Pro genannt wird, aber eher very light ist.

### 1/5 — Nice colors, but

*2015-06-23, version 1.0*

The hint colors are too hard to differentiate. Also I would like the ability to choose a color spot and not be forced to select them in the specific order.

### 1/5 — Rethink please!

*2015-06-22, version 1.0*

The "hints" in bright green and bright yellow are almost identically looking.
This makes playing it next to impossible. Or at least needlessly complicated.
As of now, total fail!

### 3/5 — Fun

*2026-07-25, version 3.12*

Gets repetitive after a while

### 3/5 — Kick it up

*2021-08-10, version 3.7.1*

Once I decide a color’s position, I’d like the option to hold it there for all future moves

### 4/5 — Good game

*2024-09-28*

The hard settings are a good challenge

### 4/5 — Nice game

*2024-08-26*

Once a color is picked for a position, only lets you choose another color for the position and doesn’t let you revert back to he unpicked state for that position.

### 4/5 — Repeat color off

*2022-11-23*

If we could turn the repeat color off it could be better

### 4/5 — Fun puzzle

*2022-10-01, version 3.9.1*

I’m enjoying this game. It’s simple yet it makes you think and strategize.
