### 5/5 — Cool game

*2026-08-23, version 4.9*

I love to play this when my brothers are playing our Xbox. Also when we go on road trips and no Wi-Fi needed.

### 5/5 — Música

*2026-08-22, version 4.9*

Tremenda aplicación que raro que no tenga una hermosa música instrumental !!!

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2026-08-21, version 4.9*

I bought this game, because it is a challenging and entertaining game.

However, even after purchasing the game, I only get 2 hints for a puzzle.

The game then tries to charge you money for hints. That’s a scam. 

If I buy a puzzle game, I shouldn’t have to pay extra for solutions. 

Don’t buy this game!

### 5/5 — Kentish

*2026-08-20, version 4.9*

Kernel

### 4/5 — Yup

*2026-08-20, version 4.9*

Well yeah I mean it is what it is

### 5/5 — My Rating

*2026-08-20, version 4.9*

What a fun game! Can you please add more colour suggestions? I would appreciate it if there are more. I also want more choices and sizes for shapes and line thickness.

### 5/5 — Simple but Very Fun

*2026-08-20, version 4.9*

Better than mort of the cliched game apps of the 2020s

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-19, version 4.9*

Picked this game up about a decade ago, and I really loved it even then, but it could’ve been better. Now, though? They’ve made so many changes, even down to the smallest nitpicks, that I really don’t think it could get better if they tried. Especially taking into account how long it’s been out, it’s super rare to find commitment to quality like that. 

As if that wasn’t enough, they’re still making new packs for those who have purchased the full version (maybe free ones too? I wouldn’t know). I’ve had the full version for years now, so I don’t remember for sure how much it was, or if it changed, but I believe it was $5. Easily one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. I was hesitant for a while at first because I’m not a huge fan of in-app purchases, and my only regret it not doing i sooner. The price-to-content ratio is insanely good. 

TL;DR: 
10/10 absolute banger. If you like it at all, buy the full version, you won’t regret it.

### 5/5 — Genuinely fun

*2026-08-19, version 4.9*

Low-key relaxing

### 5/5 — Perfect bar 2 things

*2026-08-19, version 4.9*

I love this game a lot it’s so great, but there are just 2 things that would make it perfect. I do understand you can pay for more levels but I just want way bigger the hardest sizes can be completed in like 2 minutes sometimes and so I wish there was more of a challenge. I would pay for more if that were implemented. 2 I would LOVE if I could create my own puzzles and play them. I have something similar to the tetris effect where I just think in these puzzles everywhere and see it everywhere, and It’s making me really really want to build puzzles. I dont know the chances of them
reading this but Im speaking to the clouds I want this so bad.
