This is a wayy better use of time instead of doom scrolling. This game actually activates your thinking and problem solving parts of the brain and it makes it so you can’t think about anything else except the task in front of you. I love how it gets increasingly harder but if you pay attention to each level that came before the new one you are prepared. Excellent app. Thank you devs.

Great game!
Challenging to the brain, no doubt. Made it through 1-10, but 11 has me stumped! So far though, very impressive 👌🏻

Puzzles are good and challenging but the lake of directions can cause it to feel unfair. The average person is not going to know Morse code without a legend and making it only available if keys are spend is the reason I’m uninstalling.
High quality, fun app to keep you alert and on your toes
SIMPLE, BEAUTIFUL, FUN, UNDERRATED
Level 15
I love the game and concept but currently i have been stuck on level 15 and everywhere i search i don’t get the answer so if possible please tell me what cipher to use or the answer. 100% recommend to people
Does work correctly
This game has so much potential. But several levels are impossible, even after you’ve paid for a bunch of keys to get all the clues. Not sure how many phones they tested this on, but the iPhone isn’t doing what they think it’s doing to help you follow the clues and figure it out.
Fun! But hard
I’ve been having fun with this game so far. The only problem is the puzzles seem more random and with different rules than how I’ve used the ciphers before, and the hints aren’t really all that helpful at times. I’m currently stuck on 19, have been for a while now.
We need more stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love this game. I don’t know how they balanced the difficulty but it’s perfect. Not too easy and not too hard, yet. If I’ve been stuck it’s because I am making it harder than it needs to be. Just change perspective and BANG! Its solved. Dopamine factory in my pocket. I look forward to more games from this creator. Maybe one for “kids” that teaches them about codes and ciphers

Really good until puzzle 19
The difficulty spike at puzzle 19 is as large as the size difference between an ant and an elephant.
The hints for puzzle 19 are also either A: stating the obvious or B: tauntingly vague and providing no help to what kind of cipher the puzzle even is.
Even while writing this, I’ve spent at least 3 months toiling over this puzzle, because it just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever and I can’t access any more hints or online guides.
I’m sure the rest of the game could be great — I’m just never going to be able to experience it because of this puzzle.

Very cool and fun! I can’t stop playing
Am at 14th level
Game is cool, you know what to expect, but the level is hard, because on iPad it doesn’t let me edit the picture like I needed to. So I got hung up on the file name. Apparently it is an cipg png (or smth like that) and so some editing software, doesn’t let me edit it in photo kinda ways or just throws errors or doesn’t let me add it to it TO edit it fittingly.

Hey, thanks for the kind words! All levels are fully completable on iPad. You don’t need any additional software. Just save the image to the Files app, then move it to the iPad Photos app to edit it there. Feel free to email me if you need help with that. The reason the image doesn’t save directly to Photos is for your privacy. I chose not to request photo permissions, because some people don't like giving that and doing it via Files app avoids needing that access.
Fantastic game
Well developed with intriguing ciphers and I learned about some of them while playing. Congrats and I hope to try my hand at some new levels soon!

Great mental exercise
Morse code levels
Morse code levels feel like a they are impossible if you are hard of hearing and trying to use headphones
Outright unfair
In my line of work, ciphers and decryption are a main place in my job, and I have to admit, there are some levels in this game are downright not well balanced. I am going to cite level 20, since after completing that level, is when I decided to make this review. It uses a grille cipher; nothing too extraordinary. What makes it extraordinary though is how the orientation, starting position, and order you follow is completely and underly random with not a single clue. It’s possible, but it’s not fun. And that’s just one level. I wouldn’t recommend playing this unless you really know what you are doing.

Good puzzles
Fixed. Thanks for the tip!
This is incredibe!
Came across this game accidentally while looking for something else and I’m so glad I did. It’s so neat and fun, this game lead me to subscribe to your RSS news feed and I’m going through it religiously. Thanks for creating this gem.

Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share this with me 🖤

Some levels aren’t set out to work with the relevant cypher they’re based on and so don’t work all together
I’m in love with this game!
I happened to come across this app by chance. I had been searching for a game like this for years. The excitement and the rush from getting closer to the answer is unparalleled! It’s definitely an app I’d recommend to all my friends. Keep up the good work and thank you for creating this game. Cheers!

Thank you! 🖤 I’m so glad you’re enjoying the game, and I really appreciate your kind words and support!
Interesting if a little user-unfriendly
Hard to criticise it for this, because as a puzzle game it’s meant to challenge, but the UI isn’t clear or hinted at at all so, for example, at first I thought the app was totally unresponsive because the interactive input operates like dials but there’s nothing to indicate this. A later level’s hint tells you to zoom in to analyse text but nowhere does it tell you that you have to tap on something to get the text - elsewhere, tapping does nothing. As I say, this is part of what makes it interesting but it treads a fine line between ‘oh, I should have tried that’ and ‘how was I supposed to know that would be a thing?’. In terms of more concrete annoyances, the fact the scrolling letters are at the bottom of the screen means my iPhone constantly tries to open pull-down menus when I scroll down through the letters; it needs moving. Overall an intriguing game but yeah, think outside the box!
