Other than that this game is good for your mind because you really have to think about your thinking (another word for that is metacognition) so yeah. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 🤗🤗🤗🤗 - skitpineapple signing out ✌️ ### 3/5 — 1st time player, not yet impressed *2019-04-17, version 2.1* First, I like to pay for a game if it’s not too expensive, and I can try it first. $2.99 is fine. I will not play a game with ads. Next, don’t mind learning a game the hard way, e.g., no hints. Here, you get five free tries, then the game is locked. The goal of this game is to get the emanating lines of the circles to hit the dot at the same time. NOT just to get the dot within the circles. My never-will-be-heard suggestion is to have a tutorial that includes more than one circle, or give enough free tries so a person can, um, play it once? ### 4/5 — Not that bad actually *2019-03-25, version 2.1* Cool concept and somewhat entertaining. The chords are pleasant anyway. ### 5/5 — Relaxing game about sound waves *2018-12-09, version 2.1* I love this game, it’s so relaxing listening to two musical notes over until you get their sound waves to hit a white dot at the same time. Another name for this game could be zen notes, it gets me in meditative mind state. ### 5/5 — Mohammad Mohammad *2018-12-08, version 2.1* This is a very fun and yet hard to play , it makes you think and calculate for each time you try to touch any of those. Circle. Is not like any other play app. Thanks again for providing this fun and challenging game. Thanks to designer/s. ...❤️😎 ### 4/5 — My rewiew *2018-11-24, version 2.1* That’s the best puzzle app plus music game ever! PS it’s also good because you took away the ads! ### 5/5 — Fun game.... *2018-07-13, version 2.1* I have enjoyed this for some time... the recent upgrade has revived my interest! ### 5/5 — Yay! *2018-06-25, version 2.0* So excited to see this remade. And such a beautiful game I really don’t mind replaying it again. ### 5/5 — Please update! *2018-06-17, version 1.3* I love this game, but I can’t play it on iOS 11. Please update! I will buy it again!! ### 5/5 — Update? *2017-11-10, version 1.3* Is there an update or not? ### 3/5 — Update for iOS 11! *2017-11-04, version 1.3* title ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Upside down *2025-03-22, version 2.1* App is upside down on my ipad ### 1/5 — DO NOT UPDATE *2018-08-16, version 2.1* This was once one of the most beautifully simple games for iOS. They have now made it annoyingly monetized and completely ridden with ads. Don't update!!!! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-06-29, version 2.1* On iPad only works in one landscape mode, ios 11.4, and it’s not the one I prefer. When I open the game, it flips the screen. If not for that, I would like it a lot. Minimalistic, nice sounds, ### 1/5 — Update for ios11 = garbage *2018-06-25, version 2.0* This was one of several games that prevented me from going from iOS 10 to iOS 11. So I was happy when the game update finally came. My happiness was short lived. - buggy - can only play with phone in one of the two landscape orientations - all personal progress was erased when updating Boo. Deleting. Thanks for £#€%ing up a formerly great game. ### 1/5 — No 64-bit update? *2018-01-30, version 1.3* Great game, but won't work after upgrade to iOS 11. No update for years. ### 1/5 — Fun *2017-03-11, version 1.3* Latest version broken—hangs up when asking for review. Challenging, addicting, and pleasant. I recommend playing with the sound on. It's a little tedious by the end of the first couple sets, but those don't take long and it gets good by the third set. ### 1/5 — Broken. Has been for years. *2016-04-13, version 1.3* Haven't been able to get past the "would you consider rating this game?" screen for years. No joke. It just repeats and repeats and repeats. We've had two new phones since, deleted the app multiple times, pretty much tried it all. Nothing works. Not sure why it has such high ratings. We can't be the only ones experiencing these issues. ### 1/5 — Terribly boring *2015-12-11, version 1.3* I really can't believe I spent money on this. So many better minimalist puzzle games out there ### 1/5 — Won't work *2015-09-15, version 1.3* I've played it before on the iPad but it doesn't work once I downloaded it on my iPhone ### 1/5 — Not as "musical" as I'd hoped *2015-05-22, version 1.3* Unfortunately, no way to know this before paying the $1.99 cost. The sound emitted by the dots are singular metallic bell strikes at different pitches. When combined, they aren't very harmonious; sometimes they're even dissonant. I was hoping more for an environmental music experience. The game concept itself is fine. I'm just disappointed in the audio is all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I knew i did damage but the look in your eyes is killing me *2026-04-15, version 2.1* Is fun and sounds epic :3 ### 5/5 — I always enjoyed this game *2025-11-19, version 2.1* Definitely download it ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-04-25, version 2.1* Idk what this is but I like it ### 5/5 — No title *2022-12-30, version 2.1* Realacsing ### 5/5 — Max Planck *2022-10-19, version 2.1* Better than a therapist! And I should know because I have 3 therapists. ### 5/5 — Nice game *2021-04-10, version 2.1* Nice game 🅝🅘🅒🅔 ### 5/5 — Futuristic simplicity *2021-04-02, version 2.1* A relaxing game that could be an operating system ,its brilli ### 5/5 — Relaxing game *2020-06-02, version 2.1* Therapeutic and challenging (: weird combination but they made it enjoyable ### 5/5 — Original concept *2019-12-27, version 2.1* Simple but engaging b ### 5/5 — Great! *2019-11-22, version 2.1* Challenging, yet it’s so relaxing somehow. I guess that’s because the easiest way to get through a level that’s feels impossible is to let go—a very addictive way to learn how to not let stress control you, but how to chill out and more intuitively find your own solutions in life , beyond this game.
