No variety. Overpriced BORED. *2020-04-25* The ‘solution’ to every ‘puzzle’ is one (1) of four (4) moves: 1. Swipe up 2. Swipe right 3. Swipe left 4. Swipe down That’s it. Of note: some of the puzzles require a 2nd swipe! Really adds... nothing. The user interacts w/ each puzzle 1-2 times by swiping. After swiping, the user is then forced to watch the dots travel on their path for 5-10s. Assuming that it takes a full second to swipe, the ratio of time inputting vs. time watching the dots post-input is: 1-2 swipes->1.5 swipes->1.5s spent swiping/inputting 5s-10s dot watching->7.5s spent watching 1.5s/7.5s->3s/15s 3s/15s->1s/5s 1 second of input is followed by 5 seconds watching dots Everyone playing ‘1/2 halfway’ ‘solves’ each ‘puzzle’ with an identical process and solution. One swipe(s) followed by watching your dots travel the same path path for the dot to reach it’s target. There is no creativity, no problem solving, and no challenge. ‘1/2 Halfway’ is ~25m of boredom. That’s 4 minutes, 10.2 seconds of interacting/inputting, compared to 20 minutes, 49.8 seconds watching dots dance around. ### 1/5 — Overpriced *2020-04-19, version 1.0* Not enough puzzles. ### 2/5 — The Most Difficult Puzzle... *2020-08-08* ...was the final puzzle ... which I play about 20 minutes after buying the game. I would suggest skipping this until they add 100 more puzzles and possibly diagonals. ### 2/5 — Too easy and too expensive *2020-04-21* $1.99 for a game with horrifically easy puzzle design with some ugly line visuals? I would have more sympathy if the game was free but this is crazy. Each level usually consists of no more than 1 or 2 moves. There is no challenge in it. Additionally, the simple line art comes across more as lazy than artistic. The only reason this game uses this line aesthetic is to reduce the need for art assets. Again, if it was free Id have more sympathy. But this game looks like something a 16 year old could whip together in 2 days. I’m going to see if I can get a refund. Giving 2 stars instead of one because at least the description of the game is honest. ### 2/5 — Jeux de ..... *2020-04-18* Sa va pas 2€,sa vole pas normal moi jeux comme ça cutter 0€99 ### 3/5 — Meh *2020-04-28* Good esthetic 👍🏽 Easy puzzles 👎🏻 ### 3/5 — Fun relaxing game but not long enough *2020-04-22* Finished the entire game in under 40 minutes. Please add more levels. ### 4/5 — Interesting, and calming. *2020-09-22, version 1.0* I really enjoyed doing these puzzles. It would be a great if there were more though. ### 4/5 — Lovely design, a little too easy though... *2020-04-29* I think this is a gorgeous minimalist game, and the puzzles are simple and fun. But they are very very easy. It’d be nice if there were more chapters - and the puzzles were a little harder. Maybe that’s the point - it’s supposed to be relaxing, but I feel like the replayability isn’t very high. With a slight redesign of the levels, this could be a five star game. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2020-04-28* I experience a lot of mental health symptoms and this game became very calming. Hoping for more levels in the update but I’m definitely happy with my purchase! ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2020-04-22* I usually look at reviews before downloading, and I was a bit skeptical at first. I love the music and the minimalistic design. It’s easy with no tutorial, but it’s just swipe to move. I’d love to play more levels and I feel like it’d be a bit more worth it if there were more. Overall, I feel like this is a great game with lots of potential. ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2020-04-19* The puzzles are not too difficult, and I finished all 4 levels in one sitting. I'm hoping that more are added soon because they are very relaxing and soothing. ### 5/5 — Addictive *2020-04-19* This puzzle game is challenging but not too difficult. And oddly calming. I really enjoyed it. Wish it had more levels though! ### 5/5 — Jeff Bomb’s thoughts *2020-04-18* Very calming puzzler. Very simple and basic graphics, making the solving process easier to focus on. Very beautiful calm music plays in the background. Awesome game. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the review! I'm glad you're enjoying it. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2020-04-18* Not very challenging but it is absolutely a pleasure to play and it’s very beautiful **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! More levels with increased difficulty coming in the upcoming update. ### 5/5 — love ❤🔺❤🔺 *2020-04-16* addicted😳☕️ **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the 5 star review! ### 4/5 — Content *2020-04-17* The game is amazingly addicting. The puzzles are challenging but not too challenging. The problem is that there’s only 35 levels in total, so I beat it in about an hour. **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! I'm working on adding more levels in the upcoming update. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
