(There were never any unfair tricks in the background. Luck is part of this game, but the newest version keeps it more in check.) Thank you for playing and for your feedback! ### 2/5 — Fun but unbalanced *2021-02-10* It was fun for a while, but it quickly becomes a game of luck-of-the-draw. Frequently it’s just a waste of your time, as you’ll get boards which will generate only one possible move for you, but then spawn high scoring chains for the AI to take advantage of. Any fun goes right out the window when you’re in force-lose scenarios for round after round, and sitting through ads after every loss. **Developer response:** Balance is improved in version 1.1.2. (There were never any unfair tricks in the background. Luck is part of this game, but the newest version keeps it more in check.) Thank you for playing and for your feedback! ### 2/5 — Odds Stacked *2021-02-09* Code definitely favors AI opponent **Developer response:** Balance is improved in version 1.1.2. (There were never any unfair tricks in the background. Luck is part of this game, but the newest version keeps it more in check.) Thank you for playing and for your feedback! ### 2/5 — Not sure... *2021-02-05* I tried the game, played a round with the opponent in the game, then it went to an ad. I couldn’t get back to the game. Very tiny little x in the upper left-hand corner but you could barely see. No matter where are you touch the screen it opened Safari and then opened the App Store for that particular game it was advertising. I couldn’t do anything else with it so I just deleted it. I guess it would be all right if you could play more. ### 3/5 — Bug that lets the AI win *2021-02-05* I noticed while playing that when it was the AI’s turn, sometimes it would drag the objects through a saw and cut it down a level, but then still be able to connect it to the next level up? I tried to do that myself but it didn’t work and it frustrates me when it happens. This is a really entertaining game but whatever is happening with that part of the AI is really bugging me. **Developer response:** Fixed in version 1.1. Thanks for playing and for your feedback. ### 3/5 — Boring repetitive *2021-01-24* Cool concept but my god does it get boring... Fun for two people but other than that it is meh... BTW you guys spelled Lose incorrect. It literally says “You Loose”... ### 4/5 — Relaxation is relative *2021-03-30* Good game, straightforward. Wish that there were options to play without time constraints and to remove background. Also found a strange bug where I had no legal moves. There were two colourless (wild) matching pieces that can’t be paired. ### 4/5 — Good but confusing *2021-02-06* It’s a fun puzzle game to pass time, but there’s times where the code just favors the AI. The player can get 1 or 2 things to combine and the AI can get 6 things to combine. This game is basically based on luck. That’s my only problem with this game, otherwise it’s pretty good. **Developer response:** Balance is improved in version 1.1.2. (There were never any unfair tricks in the background. Luck is part of this game, but the newest version keeps it more in check.) Thank you for playing and for your feedback! ### 5/5 — Fun *2022-04-24* I love the game😇 ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the computer player *2021-06-22, version 1.1.7* The computer player is very otherworldly. The hesitation and move execution are exceptionally well done! Trippy object combining/transforming game. ### 5/5 — This answers the question: What if 2048 was weird. *2021-02-22* It’s very good ### 5/5 — Yes *2021-02-10* Play this on any sort of drug ### 5/5 — Super eigen und richtig gut *2021-02-08* Ein Matching-Game entweder gegen einen lokalen Mitspieler oder gegen die AI, die durch eine große Hand im Screen visualisiert wird, was ich absolut genial finde. Ein super unterhaltsames Spiel mit völlg einzigartger Präsentation. Gut anders :) Unbedingte Empfehlung! ### 5/5 — One problem... (fixed) *2021-02-08* This game is a great simple puzzle game, but there’s a pretty big bug that has occurred quite often. When the AI opponent saws a piece, it doesn’t register as sawed, and can be combined with a piece of its previous size. I have lost a few games due to this bug and it’s quite annoying. Please fix it! Edit: the bug was fixed, updated score to 5 stars **Developer response:** Fixed in version 1.1. Thanks for playing and for your feedback. ### 5/5 — Quite fun! *2021-02-05, version 1.0.6* I do enjoy this game, however I’d like to see more level backgrounds and an online multiplayer ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-02-03* Just started playing today and it is changing and fun. Great job ### 5/5 — Umm wow *2021-02-02* I’m mesmerized by this. As an artist, I am absolutely stunned by the work here. It also like having a friend play right there with you, it’s weird. I love this. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
