The difficulty does not increase, and there is a very simple way to solve every single level: you turn every outside piece so that any pointy part is facing inward, and any smooth part is pointing out. From there you can play around with the middle till it fits Which is not difficult. This game was boring, not relieving. ### 2/5 — too many ads *2026-02-02, version 2.9.5* there are ads every few levels which gets to be pretty annoying and is very counterproductive from what this game is advertised as ### 2/5 — Ads *2025-12-17, version 2.9.5* This game started off really promising, but within a few levels, there was an ad after every single one. Not really a great look for a game designed to help relieve anxiety. ### 4/5 — good but adds *2025-08-17, version 2.9.5* i feel like there shouldn’t be adds in a stress free game ### 3/5 — Ok *2025-08-04, version 2.9.5* This is really fun but too many ads ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-06-07, version 2.9.5* Was super anxious. Downloaded this and love. Minimal ads. ### 5/5 — Ads are annoying but game is peaceful *2025-05-22, version 2.9.5* Ya ### 5/5 — Truly Engaging *2025-05-17, version 2.9.5* I have been playing this game just a few days, but it is truly engaging and enjoyable! It helps a lot with anxiety issues. ### 5/5 — Классное *2025-05-11* Очень нравится это приложение, развивает логику,снимает стресс. **Developer response:** Мы очень рады, что вам понравилась наша игра. 😍 Большое спасибо за вашу оценку. Ваша похвала поможет нам создавать ещё больше интересных игр. 💡 ### 3/5 — Good but keeps pausing my music *2025-03-28, version 2.9.5* Great game, relaxing, simple but engaging enough to not get bored. My only problem with it is I like to listen to music while playing, and every minute give or take, it pauses my music. I’m guessing it has to do with the banner ads that appear while playing, and I don’t wanna pay for no ads. I’ve found that turning on airplane mode fixes the pausing, but I need to be able to be called because of work so I can’t really do that very often. Other than that it’s a pretty good game if you need to fidget or need something to do on your phone when you’re trying to avoid social situations. ### 3/5 — Good but some improvements needed *2025-03-26, version 2.9.5* Awesome, really relaxing, and the percussion sounds when you tap is great, since you can play along with the relaxing music too. A couple of things though: -A way to look at all the previous levels you’ve played in a “level select” sort of way rather than having to go back one by one. -I paid for ad removal, but still get that little option to watch an ad for a hint in the corner. It takes away from the minimalist design, and would love to see an option to disable this “ad for a hint” in the corner, maybe through a simple settings screen. ### 5/5 — it calms my chest pain! *2025-03-02, version 2.9.5* i get chest pains from my anxiety, and they hurt so bad they reduce me to tears. not many things can help me what that happens. i played this game during one of my episodes, and it got me focused enough to calm down! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unskippable ads *2026-07-29, version 2.9.5* Unskippable ads less than a minute into exploring the app ### 1/5 — В приложений есть вирус *2026-03-26* В приложений есть вирус **Developer response:** Извините за возникшую проблему ☹. Нам необходимо дополнительно оценить вашу ситуацию. Пожалуйста, свяжитесь с нами по адресу support@infinitygames.io, и мы поможем вам как можно скорее. Надеемся, вы пересмотрите свою оценку, как только мы устраним проблему. 😊 ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-03-17, version 2.9.5* After you are done with one or two levels all you play is ads for next 3-4 minutes. Just waste of time ### 1/5 — Not Relaxing *2026-01-08, version 2.9.5* The ads interrupt any real anxiety relief benefit. ### 1/5 — Absolutely not *2025-07-24, version 2.9.5* Okay, so I was going into this thinking that this app would solve all of my anxiety problems. But no. It wouldn’t even let me into the game once I downloaded it. It kept kicking me back to my IPhone home screen. This may not happen to everyone who downloads this app. But for this reason and this reason only, I’m going to have to give this app one star. I’d give it zero if it let me do that. ### 1/5 — THE DAMN ADS (the reason i deleted all my games) *2025-07-16* Add the paid version, what’s wrong with you? And don’t show us the ads. That’s why I’ll never download a free game again, so tired of this nonsense. Being shown an ad is the worst thing that can happen to anyone while playing a video game. I would buy it, sure! Just add the paid version of the game! We don’t want your silly ads! Of course I deleted your game. Unfortunately. Just like I deleted all my other ‘free’ games. They invented the Apple Arcade subscription, sure. But it’s far from being the PlayStation - there are only approx. 200+ games. Not much. **Developer response:** Dear user, thanks for supporting us and we are sorry for the Ads ☹. We will improve in the future, and we will try to keep the Ads from interfering. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you. ✨ ### 1/5 — Decent game they lie about no ads *2025-03-20, version 2.9.5* Cool game, paid for no ads… a week or so later ads are back and seems MORE frequent! Reach out to the developer support never heard anything back. They speak highly of being a small company so I wanted to support more (they ask you an amount!) for no ads just to be scammed into ads again. Yea No thanks, don’t lie for money then not keep your end of the bargain - uninstalled. Ironically all the ads and the lie gave me my anxiety back lol ### 1/5 — Not relaxing *2024-08-20, version 2.9.5* This is a fun game to mess around with. Not relaxing and no directions on what you are supposed to do. Just a lot of options to pay for hints or watch annoying ads if you need any direction on what is supposed to be happening with the puzzles. ### 1/5 — Invasive terms and privacy policy *2024-07-23, version 2.9.5* Never trust a company that requires you sign away all legal claims and agree to have your data, including device ID, IP address, cookies, and other unique identifiers, sold to third party data brokers, advertisers, and social media corporations. Deleted rather than agreed. Shame. ### 1/5 — BUGGED MY PHONE *2024-07-22, version 2.9.5* I downloaded it because it had so many reviews, and thought it would be good. When I opened it my screen froze up, and I couldn’t press anything on my screen. I tried everything and the only thing that finally fixed my phone was a hard factory reset. I have an IPHONE 15 max that I got last year, so my phone wouldn’t have been the issue. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5star ratings *2026-07-27, version 2.9.5* I hope this help me not have anxiety or intrusive thoughts anymore I rated it 5 stars because I wanted to see if it works ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-05-14, version 2.9.5* I have high anxiety, playing this game is great for it and doesn’t overstimulate me ### 5/5 — Excelente passatempo *2026-04-19* TDAH aproveite **Developer response:** Ainda bem que gostou ❤ ### 5/5 — Yes *2026-04-10, version 2.9.5* So calming yet stimulating at the same time ### 5/5 — A couple more things would make this perfect *2026-01-17, version 2.9.5* I love the fact that the levels are unlimited. A change I would make though to improve the game, instead of having the same song, have like a playlist of a bunch of anxiety relieving songs, perhaps some that you could unlock. Thanks for the great game! ### 5/5 — Fun and Clever *2025-12-18, version 2.9.5* Great game for my brain. I live with constant pain and when it keeps me awake at night i really enjoy playing your game. Thanks so much! ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2025-11-06, version 2.9.5* Very fun to play at night when watching tv trying to relax ### 5/5 — Love this game *2025-09-14, version 2.9.5* I’ve played this before. I just love this game ### 5/5 — The stress helpful game *2025-08-03, version 2.9.5* This game has really helped me calm down my anxiety and stress it really helps ### 5/5 — Get it!!! *2025-06-08, version 2.9.5* It’s really satisfying. I recommend but also really hard at the same time. It helps with anxiety. Definitely recommend downloading it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
