### 5/5 — Very good

*2015-07-21*

I've only been playing it for a day but love  most everything about this one. Very creative with the triangles and varied options etc. The only thing I would definitely change is make the Ai a little smarter.

### 5/5 — Finaly

*2014-09-24*

Been waiting for an app like this for ages :) 
Would be nice to see slightly more intelligent AI but then again, there's nothing else on the App Store like this.
