Liking what I can see

I love pips on NYT puzzles, and finally can play more. But, could you make the dominos a bit bigger so that the diamond with the requirement doesn’t totally cover it up? I can’t always see which domino is placed, so I don’t know what to change. But, Huzzah! And thank you.

After the quick response and fix in the latest review, I give dotio a 6⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the review, and for flagging this! The fix is now live in 1.4.12; the requirement diamond should no longer hide the domino, so you can see what's placed. Hopefully, this solves it for you, and you can continue playing the bigger puzzles!

love it so far

I love the game so far my only issue is the graphics and colors. I wish it was more similar to NYT or had the option for different themes or a light mode.

Just like pips

Love it

Really like but…

Why am I only getting like the same 3 puzzles in “endless” mode :/

Love it, but it has some quirks?

Huge fan. Play this game constantly, but I have noticed some quirks that are beginning to annoy me. 1. I really love Expert mode, but I feel like I’m seeing the same 4?5? puzzles over and over. Not just the shape, but the actual tile placements are all the same? Are they not randomly generated? 2. Like someone else mentioned, some of the tiles get stuck and I have to push on them harder to get them to move. I can usually get it to go eventually, but some of them are stubborn.

Love this game a lot and can’t wait to love it more!!

Love!

Can I just ‘ditto’ the other review? Like spot on! I was hesitant but really wanted to keep playing Pips after finishing the NYT ones. Beyond my expectations! No ads, easy to use, non-stop games at different modes — and the leaderboard was a fun surprise! I love seeing how I compare. (In fact, got #2 recently and made my day!!!) also, the ghost mode is a creative twist! I was surprised I could do it, lol. I guess only feedback is keep the variations and ideas coming! Oh, and recently the tiles are getting stuck? Best way to explain would be like when you get water on your screen and try touchscreen.

Japanese Language Please!

Japanese Language Please!

Response from developer

Done! Japanese language support has been added in version 1.4.7; update and you should see it automatically if your device is set to Japanese, or you can switch manually in Settings. ありがとうございます!

Awesome game!

I was originally hesitant when considering buying this game, as it didn’t have any written reviews. I played the NYT daily puzzles, and really enjoyed those, so I craved more. I tried searching both on the App Store, with not much luck, and on the internet, which felt clunky and full of ads. When I say this app is pretty much perfect, I mean it. It doesn’t feel clunky, there’s extra modes, pretty much unlimited puzzles, leaderboards, achievements, etc. It’s a lot of fun, and gives more than just the daily puzzles which was exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I wish was different is if you could create custom names for the leaderboards, which I don’t see an option in the app for, but I could be missing it! I understand the hesitancy with that, as I’m sure it isn’t easy to ensure that no inappropriate names are displayed on the leaderboard, but if there’s a way to implement that, that’s the only change I would personally make. Overall an amazing game and definitely deserves its first written review even though I don’t usually write reviews. 5 stars! :)

Great Puzzle Game

Really enjoying this game. It’s a sort of a cross between other games and really appeals to my way of thinking. I like that it works on deduction logic and find it a great way to wind down

10/10

Great puzzle game! Makes my morning commute much more enjoyable!

Better than pips in NYT…

In terms of different game modes and animation. I feel like the pips in NYT has more soul to the puzzles, I don’t know how to describe it. But this app has very engaging animations that feels rewarding every time you solve puzzles, there’s also badges you earn if you complete a puzzle quickly like the “efficient” badge. I really like this pips.

Very well built

Love these puzzle games and this app has a never ending supply of them. Very well built, functions great. Love it!

Always want to play one more!

Very engaging, fun and smart! Always want to play one more!

Unique, challenging and engaging!

Really well-made puzzle game. Simple idea but genuinely clever execution. The domino logic mechanics make you actually think instead of just guessing, and the difficulty ramps up nicely without feeling unfair. Clean design, smooth performance, no clutter or nonsense. Perfect for short sessions but easy to get hooked and keep playing. You can tell real thought went into the puzzles. Highly recommend if you like logic or brain-teaser games.

Fun,challenging. Worth it.

Decent break time/commute app. Little bit of a learning curve but easy enough to pick up - but not easy to beat always.

Really satisfying

Puzzles are actually challenging without being frustrating. Took me a while to get the hang of it, but once it clicks its super satisfying!

Fantastic puzzle game

Very intuitive design and gameplay, have been able to quickly move into harder puzzles which are challenging and rewarding!

So good

I love the endless play option - limitless fun.

Fun

A cute game that helps you think about maths within a puzzle setting. Would recommend for your commute.
