### 1/5 — Restore Purchases AND New Purchases NOT Working

*2026-08-11, version 14.75*

Played this game a long time ago, then tried coming back after the app got “auto-offloaded”. The “Restore Purchases” option didn’t work and said “No previous purchases found” (even though in the past I paid for all levels packs and no ads).

I then tried just buying them again, and my card WAS charged, but the app never “processed” the purchase, it just froze after I confirmed the purchases (I tried buying “No Ads” and the “All Level Packs + No Ads” pack, and tried both MULTIPLE TIMES). I ended up getting the charges reversed by Apple because I never received the “in-app purchases”

### 1/5 — Everyone talking about bout ads

*2026-05-03, version 14.75*

I see what everyone means.

### 5/5 — 10

*2026-04-05, version 14.75*

im speechless

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2026-02-15, version 14.75*

Requires a good amount of thinking in the later stages.

### 3/5 — Great game but

*2025-12-15, version 14.75*

AMAZING GAME I PLAYED BEFORE but the game crashes and it did not before I got my iPhone 16 pro from my Motorola edge 5g UW

### 5/5 — OMG the best graphics I’ve ever seen

*2025-10-18, version 14.75*

So I download this game because I thought it might be a good teaching on light no it is not. It is the best graphics game I have ever seen. I will keep playing this game till I die because I loved it so much the developer golden. I love the developer. I’m gonna give the developer five stars and I wanna hug him so bad, also I’m just a kid. I’m eight years old but still.

### 2/5 — Too many ads

*2025-04-01, version 14.75*

I get 1.5 minutes of ads with less than 30 seconds of game play. The physics and application are solid. I would have downloaded it for the kids, but the flooding of ads is over the top. 

The first time I played I got thru three levels in about 15 seconds. Then an unskippable 30 second ad. Then I played two levels and got another  an unskippable 30 second. Then just one level and another 30 second ad. 

I spent longer typing this review after 5 levels than I actually got to play the game!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2024-07-28, version 14.75*

This game is so good and it has sandbox or known as “Level Maker” i made it up and its designed with light! But the ads is rlly annoying but it gives me a break

### 5/5 — THANK YOU

*2024-07-18, version 14.75*

Thank you so much for letting us use the skipping technique 😁😁😁😁

### 4/5 — the shortest review ever

*2024-07-06, version 14.75*

cool but a little boring
