Some Puzzles Have No Solution

Really like this game BUT Please let us sync progress.

I really like this game, but please let us sync our progress over multiple devices. Even if it’s only using a code we can enter.

Thank you.

Challenging and Simple at the same time

Very simple game that gets increasingly complex over time. You have to protect all of your pieces at once while attacking and occupying every spot on each board. Only 4 stars for now because they have to add more levels in, I finished it after about 52ish hours of gameplay. The one star reviews are unwarranted. Hints aren't even necessary and they've obviously listened to the feedback because the pieces were moved away from the "Hint" button, evidence that the company listens to feedback. Keep up the good work, y'all.

Incoherent

Completely opaque. The only one who understands this "game" is the software programmer. If it takes guessing to learn how everything works, it's not worth the effort.
