It can be fun, challenging, and relaxing. There are so many different ways to play. ### 5/5 — Love *2022-09-26, version 4.3.3* I really like this game. It’s a nice calm, relaxing game if you choose the Zen Mode. Always works well, no glitches. And no advertisements! 🥳🥳🥳 Highly Recommend! 😊 ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2020-07-27, version 4.1* I don’t know how I missed seeing this one before since it’s been around awhile. But I’m glad I found it! I love the different modes depending on how you want to play, there are so many options. It’s really fun, and I find myself wanting to keep playing “just one more.” I immediately paid the very fair price to remove ads. And the developer clearly keeps this game updated too! Thank you, developer, this is a great game monetized fairly, we need more like you out there, I happily support you! ### 5/5 — Genial *2020-05-19, version 4.1* Este juego es súper genial, un juego minimalista perfecto para pasar el rato y que a veces inclusive se vuelve adictivo por la forma visual del juego 10/10 ### 5/5 — All the fun of games like candy crush without the fuss *2020-03-14, version 4.1* I love how you don't have to keep paying for things yet it has that same feel ### 5/5 — Surprisingly fun *2019-08-04, version 4.1* Although I come in far below average ,which was a surprise, it it a delightful game. If you want to get good you must play it like chess... think 3 moves ahead. It is a mellow pastime otherwise. Highly recommend for your app library! ### 5/5 — Still loving this game *2019-06-12, version 4.1* It’s an oldie but a great way to kill time... ### 4/5 — Great mindless game BUT... *2019-01-14, version 4.1* Unplayable for colourblind individuals. As the most colourblind you can, I cannot tell the difference between the pink and “light blue” tiles so I could not continue to play it. Please consider using more vivid and opposite colours in the future, Cheers ### 5/5 — Compulsive *2018-12-21, version 4.1* Love it, very addicting ### 5/5 — Takes a little thinking *2018-12-15, version 4.1* and practice if you want to get good. You can remove in app adds for just 99 cents. I really like the fact that there is an option to rate yourself against the world.
