There is just enough problem solving to make it a challenge and fairly quick to solve. After level 30 I was tired of the ads and spent $2 to have them removed. Money well spent. This is an excellent game! ### 5/5 — Granny2go *2017-09-07, version 1.2* Simply love the game makes me use my brain. Really a hood workout for me. Like keeping my mind challenged. ### 5/5 — If you get bored with Sudoku! Try this! *2017-09-01, version 1.2* Have mastered many Sudoku versions, and this is a great challenge! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2017-08-31* Great app, have had a blast playing it I love playing this game. Even if it gets frustrating at times ### 5/5 — 🤓 *2017-08-30, version 1.2* I like it. By the way ITS EVERYDAY BRO WITH THE DISNEY CHANNEL FLOW ### 5/5 — Progressive *2017-08-23* Game is fun, getting progressively harder quickly. Only downside is after every puzzle completion is an ad. ### 5/5 — Fun! *2017-08-12, version 1.2* This game is a lot of fun as well as a brain workout. It can be challenging, but that's the good part. ### 5/5 — Very addicting! *2017-07-26* I found this through an ad from another game and I'm glad I downloaded it! I couldn't stop playing it. It's very addicting and you just keep telling yourself "one more level!!" Lol ### 5/5 — Challenging *2017-06-25, version 1.2* Very good app I like it ### 5/5 — Entertainment *2017-06-06, version 1.2* Great entertainment to work the brain in the morning , during lunch breaks and at night before going to sleep. Love this game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2023-12-22, version 2.13* These other reviews cannot be real. I get an ad after every puzzle and they are very difficult to clear. ### 1/5 — Love this game but the ads ruin *2020-10-06* I used to play this all the time and got back on it recently but the ads have the x button so far up in the left corner that I can’t tap it. It’s on the curve on my phone. Since I can’t click the x I have to sit through the ad and it’s totally not worth it every 3 minutes. ### 1/5 — Kinda fun but so many ads *2016-11-13, version 1.2* Deleted after 5 minutes. Interesting game when you're not forced to watch ads that you can't immediately click out of. Do not recommend. ### 2/5 — Inappropriate ads for kids *2020-01-11* I downloaded the app for my nephew and was appalled at the i appropriate ads. Even if you have to push ads why aren’t they age appropriate? The app games are actually great. However, I had to watch an appalling sexualised ad of women in sexy outfits getting undressing- and yet your game is 4+! Who are you targeting with this app? Do u also think straight girls/women want to watch that crap? I feel really appalled by this! You better sort out the type of ads. I feel like reporting this. ### 2/5 — Great BUT..... *2018-08-25* This game is fantastic, addictive, makes you think, etc. but the number of interruptions for in app purchases is ridiculous. I don’t mind the odd one or two, but every time I complete a level, I have to wait for the stupid thing to finish promoting other games. Such a disappointment. Please get rid of this and you can have 10 stars!! **Developer response:** I’m happy you like it! Sorry about the ads. It is a free game. There is an option to remove ads from the Options menu. Thanks for playing! , Diego ### 3/5 — Fun, too many ads *2019-02-02, version 2.2* Fun game, the ads are too frequent. Look, I get that free games need to make money somehow, but too many is going to make me stop playing. ### 4/5 — I’d give it five but *2021-03-26* These ads where I can’t press the “x” button to escape because it’s all the way in the top corner of the screen are very sneaky and annoying. I have to close the app and open it again to get past it! Highly annoying. ### 4/5 — Great! *2019-03-22* I love the game, totally obsessed however I went to purchase hints and the prices are different when purchasing? It said 99c for 20 hints but when I go into it, it charged me $1.49. Not too happy with that. Please fix it. ### 4/5 — Entertaining *2017-05-27, version 1.2* Good game ### 4/5 — Love! *2017-03-17, version 1.2* Just the right about of challenge ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Kills time *2024-03-27* I just started this game and the puzzle solving is fun and not to many ads compared to most mobile apps and the puzzles get harder progressively ### 5/5 — One Small Suggestion *2021-04-30* Great, but could use an ‘undo’ button. If you make a mistake, you might have to start over. ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-04-07* I have ADHD and Aspergers, so I really like puzzles that don’t take too long. I got tired of sudoku and ken ken, so I was looking for more puzzle games that are simple and no flashing lights that had to do with numbers and basic elements. I found this one day, and I would play it hour after hour. I would catch myself thinking about how some figures would work with each other. I’d often visualize game setups in my head, like in queens gambit. After about two days playing, I got pretty far, but I was still trying to push myself. That’s when I started playing without the filler (red) squares, and solely played with the dark blue ones. From there, I would play 8x8 games in my head without my phone. It’s a great way to stimulate ones mind. I highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Addictive *2020-01-26* This game is so relaxing you can be playing for hours without even knowing ### 5/5 — Wow what a fun challenging game *2019-09-28* This is such fun and engaging game! Well done to the devs. I rarely review games but this is one of the few that deserves a 5 star review. Such a simple concept yet epic. For the first time ever, I am very glad to view the in -game ads since they’re not too annoying and I hope the creators of this game get the guap they deserve. GG ### 5/5 — Different *2019-02-05* This appeals to me. Different than other games that feel like mindless time-wasters. I’m practicing spatial reasoning. I know this is good for my brain like Omega-3’s. It probably appeals to other people who like Sudoku, like me. I worry about playing games that have too many carnival-type flashing lights and bright colors. I think the ‘activity’ should stimulate your brain, not lights and color. No wonder so many kids exhibit ADHD symptoms in school. I can almost feel new neural pathways growing. I play on my Ipad before falling off to sleep each night.

The developer fixed it all and followed up with me. Excellent game and even better customer service! **Developer response:** Would you please email me at support@gammalateral.com with some information such as which device you’re using and at what point in the game it is crashing? Hopefully I can find the problem. Thanks for playing! , Diego ### 5/5 — Fun and thought-provoking *2018-08-22, version 2.1* I really enjoy this game! It starts simple and advances to very difficult! ### 5/5 — Simple yet addicting *2018-08-10* I personally LOVE puzzles, especially sudoku. This game has plenty of levels to try out with some being really simple and some taking me a day or three to solve. The app is very simple and addicting to me. Greatly recommended for anyone that loves puzzles like sudoku. :) ### 5/5 — Gridular *2017-12-02, version 2.0* Higher levels are quite a challenge --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
