### 3/5 — Another Almost Perfect Hat Game

*2025-09-15, version 9.0*

Still portrait mode only :(  Your games are exactly what I’ve been looking for: logic/pattern puzzles that aren’t made for preschoolers. But these games (Bouquet and Cardinal) are unplayable for me on a phone due to the tiny cards/tiles, so I’m playing on iPad Pro and forced to uncouple from my keyboard and hold a giant tablet and somehow click things. Please I’m begging for landscape mode. These games are too good to be stuck in *12 total ratings* purgatory. Resist the urge to add advertising and add a landscape mode, I’d pay $10 for this and I bet lots of other people would too.

### 5/5 — Great daily puzzle

*2024-09-10, version 8.0*

It has entered into my daily puzzle routine. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Simple Yet Challenging, & Endlessly Replayable!

*2024-07-08, version 5.0*

This game is visually stunning, and implements simple yet challenging logic concepts that keep the game engaging play after play. I love the daily mode and instantly added this one to my daily line up of quick, mentally stimulating games. Didn’t think I could love a game more than Bouquets (check it out), but this one is a stellar follow up. Perfect Hat Games doesn’t miss!!!

### 5/5 — So good!

*2024-07-05, version 5.0*

Another banger of a game from Perfect Hat!
