### 2/5 — was a perfect game…

*2026-02-15*

…before the recent update it was perfect or near perfect, played it all the time, and LOVED it. The games were a guaranteed amount of time each, between 1.5 to 2.5 minutes each, I knew my time investment, and chose it. Now the only way to play, is open-ended timing, just play until I lose all 3 stars. I can still limit it, just by artificially losing, but it’s not the same with that. I don’t know which way is ultimately better, but I basically don’t play any longer now. This dev makes truly great games, so I hope he finds a way to have a choice in gameplay.

### 5/5 — Kozui

*2022-11-06, version 3.0.0*

Brilliant, game gets faster and the music is good as well sayonara

### 5/5 — Great game, a bit maddening

*2022-09-10*

Like all Sean O’Connor games, this is an excellent game, collects NO PERSONAL DATA of any kind (huge endorsement in my book), and has a couple aspects that will infuriate you. 

The Samurai popping his head up can occasionally hide the correct answer, which makes a big difference at the higher levels, when you have like 3 seconds to respond. Certain challenges, like pulling apart the monkeys, also just wrap your thumbs up with near constant movement, making it very hard to do the other two challenges. 

Overall, great game and an excellent tool for building selective attention, focus and reflexes!

### 5/5 — Underrated

*2020-03-03*

This game is what, like ten years old? And it still receives updates!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2018-06-05, version 1.1*

Love the game simple but fun, good little time filler!

### 5/5 — Great little time waster

*2018-05-22*

I have this game on my android phone and my iPad, screen size does make a difference in my score, but gameplay is still great.

The premise is simple, just answer simple questions simultaneously with others or tasks.  Reminds me of playing Brain Age from the Nintendo days a little.

Graphics are pleasing, sound is fun, a great little game.  Thanks Sean for another impediment to my productivity!

### 5/5 — Awesome stuff

*2018-05-03, version 1.0*

Simple but fairly challenging!
