### 2/5 — Too many ads, and fake difficulty

*2025-10-01, version 10.0.1*

Ad after every level after the honeymoon, and many levels use low contrast color schemes that hurt your eyes to try to get you to use hints. Besides the similar colors issue, only the sliding levels have any challenge. Gave up at the all bright cyan and white level.

### 3/5 — Ads!

*2025-08-20, version 10.0.1*

Just realized why I deleted this game before.  I like playing it, but apparently there is no way to get rid of ads!  I’ve looked all through and can’t find any to get rid of the ads.  You are required to watch an ad after every round.

### 2/5 — Too many ads

*2025-08-10, version 10.0.1*

This is a great game. But there’s way too many ads and no option to remove them. If there were an option to remove them, I would pay for it no problem. As it is now, I have to delete the game because there’s just too many.

### 3/5 — Same color can’t see if color blind

*2025-07-25, version 10.0.1*

When the ones where they’re all basically the same color just slightly different is stupid I can’t tell the difference so it’s barely playable when I get to those levels

### 2/5 — Only a few levels are fun

*2025-07-10*

This game is only fun on the levels where you have to move the tiles around to figure out where they go. Unfortunately, most levels seem to have the stationary tiles. Those levels are simply tedious because you just spin it until it lights up. You don’t have to put any thought into it at all. It’s not a game if you don’t have to do anything but tap it to win.

### 3/5 — Remove ads

*2025-07-01*

Every time I try to play a game, the banner ads keep stopping the video I’m watching at the same time and it’s very annoying

### 2/5 — Feedback to Developer

*2025-03-21, version 10.0.1*

As already mentioned, not enough contrast on monochrome levels. Please don’t use these for the levels where the tiles are interchanged, OR add more contrast. Aside from countless ads, and no opportunity for feedback, I enjoy playing.

### 3/5 — Tile Size

*2025-03-17, version 10.0.1*

Love this game but the levels with octagonal tiles are too small making me have to strain my eyes. And the levels with tiles that you have to move around need a darker or bigger boundary line. They are so hard to see.

### 2/5 — Too easy

*2025-01-27, version 10.0.1*

Fun idea but it is too easy to solve each puzzle which is boring, to me.

### 2/5 — It’s Something

*2025-01-25*

Interesting idea but a lot of the levels aren’t even puzzles. Most can be finished without thinking, and in a lot of cases the colors are way too similar to tell the difference. There’s also way too many ads, one after each level and they’re not even long enough to justify it. It has potential but as it is there’s not much going for it.

### 1/5 — Ads, ads, and more ads

*2025-01-24*

There is an ad after EVERY level. So download if you love to spend more time watching ads than playing the actual game. Would give it 0 stars if I could..

### 2/5 — Ads for adult content which

*2025-01-17*

The game is fun, as expected for free play has LOTS of ads. BUT ALSO recently the ads have been for adult content which may be of concern to parents who have let their kids install this game due to it’s 12+ rating

### 1/5 — Not accessible

*2025-01-17, version 10.0.1*

I love this game but I’m colorblind, and have lots of trouble differentiating between the shades in the levels with like 17 shades of green. Even non colorblind people are having issues, those levels make the game not worth it.

### 1/5 — Sooo STUPID!!!

*2025-01-16*

This app is so disappointing. A child could play this without any thought whatsoever. The only levels that are challenging at all are the ones where you can move the blocks.  All the other ones all you have to do is just tap the blocks until they light up. How stupid is that? This could’ve been a great app If you could’ve put some challenge to it.  I didn’t have any of the problems everyone else mentioned It worked fine. I wish it could’ve been more challenging. It would’ve been a good app.

### 3/5 — Has potential ruined by ads

*2024-11-07*

It has potential to be a great puzzle game but it’s ruined by ads. It needs to be a bit more challenging as well. The amount of ads this app has is horrendous. Not only is there an ad between every level but at the end of the level you have the option to watch an ad for extra coin of take the bare minimum. If you choose to take just the base amount you still have to watch an ad. And there is no option to pay to remove ads.

### 3/5 — What’s going on?

*2024-07-29*

One of my favourite games. I don’t mind an ad after every game but at level 170 suddenly the game was interrupted by an ad and on returning to the level it had reverted to the start. This happened 3 times. So frustrating. No option other than to delete.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2025-11-22, version 10.0.1*

The tiles are difficult to move and often seem like they are locked in place. In a complex puzzle, moving a tile across a large board becomes an exercise in futility. A lot of the puzzles are trivial and require no skill. While others have extremely subtle color differences amongst the tiles with only tiny differences in the RGB values so that discerning differences in color in the minuscule tiles is difficult for me even though my measured color differentiation ability is excellent.

### 1/5 — Nett, Werbung nervt

*2025-08-29*

Nettes Spiel, aber nach jedem Level Werbung. Habe es nach 6 Levels gelöscht. Werbung ist ok, aber nicht so, die übertreiben es

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-08-17, version 10.0.1*

I was really wanting to like this game, however when you spend more time on ads than actually playing the game, it’s a hard no. I deleted at level 13.

### 1/5 — Good game. Sketchy.

*2025-08-02, version 10.0.1*

i downloaded it because the ads were giving that the game would be exactly what i was looking for. and it was for a few days, until...my phone almost explodes trying to play this game. i got the "your phone has a virus" gimmick and ignored it, but my phone had been running a background website while i was playing the game. tresensa.com was what i had running, the tiles moved slower, my moves werent working either. i opened the banner in my notification center for that website above and it took me right back to the game. i deleted it immediately and my phone is back to normal. STEER CLEAR.

### 1/5 — Far too many ads

*2025-07-20*

I don’t want to watch an app after every level, especially when there is no option to pay to get rid of the ads. This looks like a good game but after 10 levels I’ve had enough of the ads. Deleting until there’s an option to pay to get rid of the ads!

### 1/5 — Ads, Ads and more Ads

*2025-07-15*

Seriously!  A 60second advert after the first game (about 15 seconds of play) and they just keep coming … after EVERY level.
It isn’t good enough to say that adverts help the developers because you are are advertising this game as AD FREE!

### 1/5 — Incessant ad interruptions

*2025-05-13, version 10.0.1*

In the past week, the ads in the game footer are constantly pausing audio playing from other apps (e.g., music, podcast, etc.). Has made the game unplayable for me.

### 1/5 — 7 adds before hitting level 10

*2025-04-16*

I wanted to like this game, but when the first 10 levels are taking under 20 seconds, I spent longer watching the 7 forced ads than I did playing the game.  Deleted immediately after that.

Sure, I get you have to make money somehow, but having an ad after every 20-40 seconds of game time makes this unplayable.

### 1/5 — Monochrome Levels Fail

*2025-03-25, version 10.0.1*

Puzzle is fine, mostly enjoyable, but then one arrives at a monochrome level. There is not enough difference in the shades, it can go on for hours, it often becomes tedious trial and error rather than skill. AND if you put it down for a break, you risk all progress lost when you pick it up again. Yet you must get thru level to move on. After several of these, I deleted the game.

### 1/5 — Don’t let young people download

*2025-01-28*

First ad that came on was an advert for a 17+ game that sexualised women. This app is a 12+. Completely inappropriate for young teens to seeing this

### 5/5 — Turn off WiFi

*2025-01-21*

People complain about the ads after every level, turn off the WiFi then, otherwise good game

### 5/5 — Save option

*2022-11-23*

Is there a chance we could get a save option? Please! Great game.

### 5/5 — This is honestly one of my favorite games

*2022-11-07*

I love the new updates and levels. This game is soothing and the new levels bring a challenge but they are not is difficult that you give up and delete the game. I really love this unique app. Keep up the good work guys.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2022-08-01*

I like this game because it is helping me to prevent further damage to my brain after some blows to my head. Instead of getting progressively harder and harder until I have to delete, it gets harder and harder and then drops back to really easy. So, just when I have to struggle hard to match the colors, the next game is really relaxing.  I have had no problems at all with the game freezing up.

### 5/5 — Keeps me calm

*2022-06-24*

I downloaded this randomly and have since found it is brilliant for calming my anxiety & panic attacks down. 
Yes there is an advert after every single level which is it’s only let down.

### 5/5 — Not super challenging. , but it’s fun

*2022-06-20, version 6.0.0*

I feel like it’s gotten as hard as it’s going to get, but it is just fun to go through the levels. I like it.

### 5/5 — yes. good game.

*2022-06-15*

The ad wasn’t stupid and annoying so I installed. It actually looked interesting, unlike nearly every single other mobile game ad. There’s a respectable amount of ads, not enough to be annoying. It’s challenging enough that even though it’s a bit repetitive every level is fun. Would recommend

### 4/5 — Nicely Challenging

*2025-02-11*

Good logic skills needed but as there are no timers etc to induce anxiety, I can play it to relax without worrying it will keep me awake. I do have an AdBlocker installed, so I’ve not had any of those issues. Have recommended it to older relatives who want to keep their minds active.

### 4/5 — Amazing but not very accessible

*2025-01-28*

This game is stupidly fun. You can just be at it for hours. There’s barely any ads, and even if you think it has too much it works in airplane mode. You can just be at it for hours

My one and only gripe is the color choices. Certain color palettes, specifically the monochromatic ones, have far too little contrast between different colors. It’s very difficult to distinguish between the different shades on a certain piece, so getting a moving level with one of these color palettes is just a drawn out, monotonous guessing game.

I’m not colorblind, I don’t struggle with color perception and never have. I’ve been a digital artist for years, I literally specialize in character design. I know color theory like the back of my hand. But the color palettes in this game…sometimes they feel like the same two colors are counted as different for no reason 

I’m not sure how easy it’d be to fix this. I beg that the piece colors are controlled by a list of color palettes that can be easily adjusted, if only for your developers’ sake. You can even feel free to keep the monochromatic theming in the palettes, they’re nice color schemes. Just some more contrast between shades would be a huge improvement. I love ya’ll’s game tho!! Thank you!!

### 4/5 — Music

*2025-01-15*

Fun game to play as a time waster, but please let me listen to music while I’m playing
