### 4/5 — Fun Game!

*2025-05-01*

I enjoy the game enough to have bought the extra packs, but I find myself having low confidence in what can be considered a “perfect”. Several times I’m able to complete a level with fewer moves than what is listed as perfect, and some of those have been done by taking direction adverse to the hints provided…this makes it’s terribly hard to gauge if I’m actually “stuck” trying to figure out how to win in the fewest moves, or if there’s an error on the number of moves it actually takes (and possibly the hint provided)…as someone who finds a lot of satisfaction in full completion of a game’s objectives, this is rather frustrating. 
Outside of that one area it’s a really fun game and still worth the $1.99 for the added levels!

### 4/5 — Good, but …

*2024-06-05*

I like this puzzle, but it has a loud soundtrack and doesn’t seem to provide a way to turn it off.

**Developer response:** My apologies! I wrote the music myself years ago, and I agree completely that it is loud and repetitive :) In the latest version of the app, the music has been replaced with music that is more professional than my own, and there are now buttons that allow sounds to be turned on or off. Simply tap the "Turn sounds off" button on the main screen, or the "Sounds" button when playing a puzzle.

I hope this helps. Thank you for the review/feedback!

### 4/5 — Such a cool game, except for the music

*2023-08-29*

I love this game - I wish there were more like! Especially because I’m done with all the games on this one. I like the challenge of this - some of them took me forever to figure out! But then there were others where I did it in fewer steps than “perfect” - a handful of them were at least 8 fewer steps and one was 12! So I thought that was weird. 

And I agree with other reviewers - please make an option to turn the music off!!

**Developer response:** My apologies for the frustrating parts of the app!

Likewise, all of the puzzles were designed by me alone, which means some of the "perfect" solutions are wrong, because folks like you are able to find better solutions than I did :) Most of the "perfect" solutions are accurate, but there are some that will remain incorrect until/unless I'm able to take the time to adjust them.

I hope this information helps. Thank you for the review/feedback!

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2022-10-04*

I just downloaded your game today and I’m enjoying it.  I have paid for all the additional puzzles packs since it’s definitely the type of puzzle game I really like. 

And now my one and only complaint…

I know this is a minimalist game but it would be nice to be able to turn off the music.  As with all games, it’s very repetitive and I would rather listen to the music I find relaxing, (my Alan Parsons Playlist for example), instead of the music in the game.

Thanks for the fun!

### 5/5 — Amazing(for real)

*2022-08-02, version 1.1*

I thought this game is just like those other games, boring and easy. I aspire to because an all that when I grow up, so this helps me with my color knowledge. Very proud!

### 5/5 — So good

*2022-03-16*

It’s just too much good for me

### 5/5 — Fun and Relaxing Game!

*2021-12-19, version 1.0*

Thought that it was a simple game at first, but after playing a few rounds, discovered a nuance to it that I was not expecting when I downloaded it. Very enjoyable!

### 5/5 — Very fun!!!

*2021-12-16*

I play a lot of games but I always seem to come back to this one. Very challenging and fun.

**Developer response:** I'm happy to hear that. Thank you for the review!
