### 4/5 — A Smart one

*2025-01-08, version 2.2.0*

I liked it so much. It’s wise. Good job

### 3/5 — Fun game, lotta pop-ups

*2024-11-20, version 2.2.0*

Hard to get into because of the patter interrupt, but beautiful and engaging otherwise.

### 3/5 — A little laggy

*2024-10-19, version 2.2.0*

Gets laggy When I am on the harder levels

### 2/5 — Needs some explanation

*2024-10-12, version 2.2.0*

Hard to figure out what you’re supposed to do

### 5/5 — Very Cool

*2024-07-23*

What a great and unique game! Somewhere around level 30 I realized the authors could really make the levels super difficult. You sort of trust and depend on them not to pull too hard. There is truly no limit to the difficulty. So far so good. The ability to earn free hints is also generously provided. They thought of everything. My new favorite game. Keeping me up at night.

### 5/5 — Just started- looks great

*2024-06-30, version 2.2.0*

Few levels in look great

### 5/5 — Interesting and fun

*2024-06-23, version 2.2.0*

Love it

### 5/5 — Interesting new concept

*2024-06-11, version 2.2.0*

Discovery / sequence puzzles are not a new idea - but I can’t recall ever seeing this approach before.

### 5/5 — Quick fun puzzles

*2024-06-10, version 2.2.0*

Good introduction and simple directions/controls. Levels are pretty straightforward but a great time killer with little dopamine pumps.

### 4/5 — Liking it

*2024-05-30, version 2.2.0*

It’s slow start but could definitely develop into something very interesting and exciting for you

### 5/5 — Pure amazing gameplay

*2024-05-08, version 2.2.0*

Rotation rings with different things they do such a great idea!

### 2/5 — So many ads

*2024-05-05, version 2.2.0*

It’s a real interesting logic puzzle solving. Unfortunately, there is a 30s ad after every puzzle. Ruins the flow and vibe of the game. Unfortunate. Game deleted.

### 5/5 — Hello

*2024-05-05, version 2.2.0*

I’m in love with this game, minimal to no ads.

### 4/5 — So far so good

*2024-05-03, version 2.2.0*

Challenging and fun

### 5/5 — I love the aesthetic

*2024-05-02, version 2.2.0*

The puzzle just click them in my brain in just the right way, and I really like the minimal aesthetic of the game

### 4/5 — Decipher

*2024-04-29, version 2.2.0*

So far I am liking the game, the rings can be tricky.

### 5/5 — Excellent puzzle game!

*2024-04-27, version 2.2.0*

This game is great, fun but not manipulative

### 5/5 — Great game - annoying rating requests!

*2024-04-21, version 2.2.0*

Almost made me 1-star a 5-star game.

### 4/5 — Good Puzzle Game

*2024-04-15, version 2.2.0*

It is a good puzzle game with a simple, yet effective, premise.

Only thing I would add is a bit of excitement and pizzazz as it starts to feel mundane in the later stages.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — SO MANY ANNOYING LONG ADS

*2024-04-21, version 2.2.0*

I can’t even tell you how the game is, I can’t even do it on my tablet

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2024-02-07, version 2.2.0*

I couldn’t tell you how the game is, because there are so many unskipable ads. They go on for too long. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — No chill with those invasive ads

*2023-09-26, version 2.2.0*

Just downloaded then deleted it, I’m not even 2 minutes into playing and already 3 invasive ads came up, nope!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-02-14, version 2.1*

The game gets stuck on a black screen with the music and nothing happens. I’ve tried restarting my iPhone (13 mini), deleting then re installing, nothing works.

### 1/5 — Black Screen

*2021-11-19, version 2.1*

Was good. Doesn’t run on iOS 15.

### 1/5 — Bug alert please fix

*2021-07-10, version 2.1*

I’d love to play the game but I just keep seeing the screen of death after agreeing to the agreements in the game. Was really wanting and looking forward to playing this game but oh well guess I’ll just have to find something else to do…. 🙁

### 1/5 — Won’t Load

*2021-05-13, version 2.1*

I tried downloading this game twice, same result: it won’t load to let me play. I get a black screen and music playing in the background. It asks if I want to allow notifications and I’ve tried both allow and don’t allow and neither get the app working. Once I had the “updated” terms of use pop up, but in all cases it went to the black screen with music in the background. I even restarted my iPad, but that didn’t help either.

### 1/5 — All black

*2021-05-11, version 2.1*

Whenever I start the game it won’t show anything on the screen and I can’t play the game

### 1/5 — Black Screen Bug

*2021-04-30*

Sorry, normally I don’t want to write bad reviews. I’m sure this game is nice, but for some reason I’ve encountered an issue where when I open the app the screen is just black. I’ve also noticed a few other people who have encountered similar issues, and after restarting my phone, restarting the app, and reinstalling the app multiple times, the app still brings you to a dark screen. I’ll hopefully change the rating once this bug is fixed, I just hope that this brings the issue to the game developer’s attention.

### 1/5 — Just a totally black screen

*2021-04-13, version 2.1*

I was really looking forward to playing this game. The T&Cs came up, I clicked on I accept......... then nothing.

I waited and waited in anticipation but nothing.

I uninstalled the app, rebooted my iPad , reinstalled it but identical happened.

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME !!!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-03-20, version 2.2.0*

I love this game

### 5/5 — Interesting

*2025-03-02, version 2.2.0*

This game is intriguing

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-12-12, version 2.2.0*

Challenging game is great

### 5/5 — Enjoyable

*2024-10-08, version 2.2.0*

I appreciate the experience. The design is unique in that the puzzle forms into a constellation. I can’t wait till I get to the 250th level. Also it’s good to know the stopping point. So I am excited. Thanks again

### 5/5 — A real challenge

*2024-09-24, version 2.2.0*

Mind blowing!  Really tests your cognitive skills.  Very much like trying to crack a vault door.  Some will drive you crazy, but they are workable, which may be the most mentally challenging aspect.

### 5/5 — Amazingly different!

*2024-09-12, version 2.2.0*

What an awesome idea for a game! It’s soothing, yet engaging. Its use of colours & sounds lends itself to an overall enriching experience. Its my new favourite game!!

### 5/5 — Interesting wee game

*2024-09-03, version 2.2.0*

Calming. Good wee game.

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2024-08-30, version 2.2.0*

It’s my favorite puzzle

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2024-08-25*

Beautiful, soothing, challenging and fun! This is becoming one of my favorite puzzle games. I love the gentle, pleasant coloring and the easily identifiable ring types. You can tell a lot of care was put into this game — each puzzle is unique and uniquely challenging. The progress of difficulty is satisfying without being frustrating, and there are no limits to time taken or moves for each puzzle. I appreciate being able to reset a puzzle as many times as needed without losing progress or getting an ad in the face. Even when a level is easy to solve, putting all the rings in place is relaxing. Thank you to the developers for this excellent game!

### 5/5 — Two lovers

*2024-08-13, version 2.2.0*

Forbidden from one another. A war divides their people, and a mountain divides them apart. Built a path to be together… and uh, I forget the next couple of lines but uh, then it goes, SECRET TUNNEL!!!!!!! SECRET TUNNEL!!!!!!!! THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS!!!!!!!!!!! SECRET SECRET SECRET SECRET TUNNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (yeah!)
