### 1/5 — Great game, but doesn’t save high score

*2026-01-15, version 13.0*

I previously rated this game 5 stars because I play just about every day. I recently hit a high score that should’ve put me very high on the global leaderboard for gamecenter, for whatever reason though the game did not save my score upon dying and I feel like I wasted a lot of time trying to make it onto the leaderboard. Please fix this because it makes working towards that goal so much more frustrating.

### 5/5 — thank you

*2025-10-23, version 12.0*

shout out to the devs and team behind this game, they really listen to us :) this app has truly been my best emotional support buddy for the last decade. something about this mindless and addictive game it so perfect and helps in any situation. from high school to my mid 20s this app has seen it all.  i bought no ads YEARS ago and it was the best couple bucks i’ve ever spent. i really love this little grid game, it is very near and dear to me

### 5/5 — Hooray!

*2025-10-16, version 12.0*

It’s back to normal! Guess I wasn’t the only one who didn’t love the glass-style blocks. Great low-pressure game. Part luck, part strategy, few ads.

### 2/5 — Why did you change the theme?

*2025-10-12, version 11.0*

The glass blocks are horrible and why can’t I go right back in when I loose a game and continue playing?  I don’t like these changes at all. Will be looking for a new game ☹️

### 1/5 — Colors

*2025-10-12, version 11.0*

Deleting game!! New color scheme is terrible, makes it very hard to see!  Loved playing this  game for years but not now with this update!! Bing back the black screen!!!  The new colors stink!!

### 2/5 — ugly update?

*2025-10-11*

i have LOVED this game for probably a decade. it has been my go to stim game since i was really young. pushing 30 now and opened the game to a shock? the new look makes me pretty anxious and not want to play anymore. please give us an option to change the theme back, this is not it!! pleaseee. this game has truly seen me in my worst moments and helped me thru so much. i would love if the theme went back to normal, or had the option to be

### 1/5 — Why did you mess it up

*2025-10-11, version 11.0*

I love this app. I’ve played it for probably close to 10 years. The update you did two days ago is dreadful in the new color scheme is hard to work with and the app points. Stay open and keeps crashing way to lose a customer.

### 3/5 — Game is great but…

*2025-10-10*

I really hate the new “glass” blocks. They hurt my brain. Please bring back the regular blocks.

### 1/5 — Colors

*2025-10-10*

Loved playing this game but not now with this update!! Bing back the black screen!!!  The new colors stink!!

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2025-10-10*

I’ve actually played this game for over 8 years and can say I play this almost every day. It’s simplistic and challenging BUT PLEASE DEVS MAKE THE OPTION TO USE THE OLD THEMES THESE SHINY ONES ARE NOT IT. The game never updated because it’s not a game that requires a whole lot of updates. Please add the old themes and this game will be 10/10
