"I have to admit that I've wasted a lot of time playing this." 

"I love the game, is fantastic! Highly addictive, Recommend!" 

"Amazingly addictive game that brings in a new element of thought. Not only are you matching colors you have to swipe them in the right direction. If you are looking for a game that will give you mental workout this is the one. With several modes to choose from you can find a challenge no matter your skill level. If you are a pro, then put your skills to the test with multiplayer. Either play just for the fame or earn real cash. No matter who you are this game will please."

"This game is so fun and addictive! I can't stop playing. There's a lot of variety in how you play and it's not the same old match 3 game you're use to. Highly recommended!"

### 1/5 — So sad it is gone

*2023-08-28, version 2.8*

It appears to not be working anymore. I really enjoyed this game and it would be awesome if the developer released an offline/standalone version that doesn’t rely on the skillz server connection.
After 6 years with no updates, not sure why this is still live in the App Store especially since it is unplayable.
It was a five star game.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2020-03-21, version 2.8*

Fun game, moves fast!

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2018-07-09, version 2.8*

I came with low expectations but this is now my favorite skillz game. I’m hoping the community grows. Rounds are short and satisfying.

### 5/5 — Greaaaaaat game

*2015-05-23, version 2.2*

Tons of fun, simple fast paced game
