Using a unique swiping interface, exciting sounds and colors and a brain-teasing gameplay style, Glow Burst is my new favorite mobile app. Essadee! ### 5/5 — Addiction *2015-03-01, version 4.0* I am my what you would call a handsome man. The good Lord chose not to bless me with charm, athletic ability, or a fully functional brain. Thanks to this game from famed app creator ToMo I am not doing math on an 8th grade level and lost my virginity. THANKS GLOWBURST!!! ### 5/5 — Moore Moore Moore *2015-02-28, version 4.0* Another great game from Mr. Moore ! It's a simple game that looks and feels outstanding the sound and graphics are top notch. I would expect graphic like this on my console system. Once you play it you will hooked so be careful . ### 5/5 — Fun and Awesome app! *2015-02-27, version 4.0* My Aspergers son who is obsessed with numbers loves this app. As a teacher I love this app because of the educational benefits it does give. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2015-02-25, version 4.0* In the words of the world famous Oscar Santana, this game is "Amazing". It's the glowest, most burstastic and super disco music game. You thought compulsive was addicting you'll be swiping your finger all over your device that you'll need some new micro fiber cloths to clean your screen (of course purchased via Amazon on the TMOS site)! ### 1/5 — new updated versionccou *2015-02-25, version 4.0* I LOVED this game!!! Just found out you completely changed it. You ruined it!! The music was fabulous before,now it's just annoying!! Why ever would you mess with the perfect game app when it was the best ever&no other like it??shame on you. I'm not a kid but I played it every day. Couldn't you just have two versions instead?will be deleting this "new&improved"version ASAP. It's just annoying now. You messed with perfection because it was the best app on my phone and now it really is a kids game!bravo just can't leave well enough alone. ### 5/5 — Sharpen for one, mesmerize for the other *2015-02-24, version 4.0* I left the same review on the free version, but paying $1.99 to not have ads was worth it and I still feel the same way about the app so here ha go, you can't go wrong with either version. I'm loving this game for two reasons-- my father swears it's helping to sharpening his brain a bit by having to quickly think about sequencing numbers (I do think there's some logic to that), which I love. And for me, well, forget the numbers... I could just stay on the title screen bursting those bubbles all day!! Having a parent suffer through some of his "getting older" challenges is scary, but knowing he's helping himself with games like this is comforting for this daughter. Thanks TMSOFT for yet another great app! ### 5/5 — Great for toddlers too *2013-01-03, version 3.2.1* The easy "123" setting (upgrade) is a really cool game to get toddlers to think on their feet and learn to count. ### 5/5 — Great game *2012-09-03, version 3.2.1* Great game!!! I wish I thought of it. Lol ### 4/5 — Awesome game *2012-08-30, version 3.2.1* I really enjoy this game. It's fun and probably a good one for "brain training". I'd like if some of the rounds were a little longer. If the pads moved faster that would also be nice. Still, great for hand eye coordination. ## Frequently asked questions about Glow Burst ### What is Glow Burst? Glow Burst is a fast-paced game that challenges your reflexes and number recognition.
