I really like this game. Sometimes you really have to think. If you are someone that likes the slide picture puzzles, you will like this game. It take the old fashion game to a another level.

### 3/5 — Stuck

*2019-03-11*

I am stuck on level 10. Can’t figure it out. Wanted to like this game until now

### 5/5 — Funny but short

*2019-01-19*

Small little Puzzle Gem with great Design but only 50 Levels (took me about 3Hours) and the last ten of them are easyer then others before. Still: keep up the good work devs. Worth the buy and sweets up some waiting time

### 5/5 — in the Dog House..

*2018-12-26*

Hi not a problem with screen size, just move the ball and the rest of the game appears. It’s all in the game, excellent and 100%

### 3/5 — The inconsistent zoom feature will make you crazy

*2018-12-12*

The game premise isn’t bad, and I didn’t have a problem with the lack of instructions. What I have a problem with is that the game changes the visual focus frequently, zooming in on an area when you have to see the whole screen to consider what you’re going to do. It literally gets in the way of gameplay; why would you even add that feature? It’s so frustrating. 

So, three stars. One for cute puppies, one for the sliding/rotating mechanics, one for the simple rules. But it’s hard to play if you can’t consistently see the screen!

### 4/5 — trofi4
