### 5/5 — Impossible(actually)

*2025-01-21*

Sometimes let’s say I’m blue. There would be no blue square for me go to, ending the run. Extremely inconvenient and annoying

**Developer response:** Hey there, I’ve actually ran into this when I was initially developing the game, but I already built an algorithm in place to counteract that :)

Let’s say you’re blue, and you haven’t seen any blue squares in a while. You’ll be guaranteed a blue square after a certain amount of non-blue squares.

This should mean that there is always a square for you to jump to at least somewhere on the screen, (sometimes the jump is not always near the top), although as you go up the levels it gets increasingly difficult.

The one edge case I haven’t really accounted for is if you’re using a smaller device like an iPhone mini where the screen is a lot smaller — if that’s the case please let me know and I can look into testing/support for smaller devices more thoroughly :)

### 3/5 — Good game but allow music to play

*2017-05-16*

Even with the game on mute, it stops my music from playing....please fix

**Developer response:** Sorry about that :( We just fixed that bug, and it will show up in the next update! Thanks for letting us know!

### 2/5 — Lag

*2017-05-15*

This game is lagging behind so bad that I can't even push the correct color. I get one and then it ends. Please fix this

### 2/5 — Eh.

*2017-05-14*

It seems fun but it's too laggy. It doesn't really have an original concept either..

### 5/5 — Love

*2017-05-14*

**Developer response:** Thank you!
