The only drawback is the ad shown in between 2 or 3 levels is too bad. ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-03-22, version 2.2.2* But it made me break my phone ### 5/5 — Under-appreciated! *2026-03-01, version 2.2.2* This game is beautifully designed and deserves far more attention than it gets. It’s clear the designers put great thought and effort into every aspect of this game. It’s more than user-friendly, it’s user-embracing. The gameplay was a delightful surprise. When I first experimented with the six different gameplay modes I was thrilled. Each mode adds a new twist that requires you to approach the puzzles from a new perspective. Anyone who tries this game will have to acknowledge the simple, exquisite design, if nothing else. If you’re a fan of minimalist puzzle games, get this game. The complaining about ads is ridiculous. You get so much excellent content for free, with occasional ads to pay for development. If you hate ads like I do, $1.99 is a bargain to play this game ad-free. Lines is unique and elegant, simple and complex, with enough content to satisfy anyone. Most puzzle games look for ways to cut corners, pack in more ads and IAPs, and copy other games. Lines is different. They put in the extra effort to make the game more unique, more user-friendly, with more great content, and that all makes it more fun to play. ### 5/5 — ujum *2026-02-15, version 2.2.2* si ### 5/5 — Challenging fun *2026-01-29, version 2.2.2* Fun and challenging ### 5/5 — Relaxing but challenging *2026-01-16, version 2.2.2* Addicting in a soft manageable way. I want to beat my own scores. No one to compete with but yourself. I find the music smoothing. ### 5/5 — Very fun and awesome *2025-12-26, version 2.2.2* What makes this game fun is that there is a lot of levels and the infinite mode makes it kill time so this game is recommended for people that like piano mu as ic . ### 5/5 — Great game!! One of my favorites!! *2025-12-18, version 2.2.2* I love this game. I have gotten every puzzle and I still play the daily challenge every morning. It is a great game!! ### 5/5 — Very relaxing game *2025-12-12, version 2.2.2* Great!! ### 5/5 — Evergreen *2025-12-12, version 2.2.2* I got this game as a freebie off the Starbucks app years ago and still enjoy it to this day. It’s fresh and challenging without giving me anxiety. ### 5/5 — lord *2025-12-05, version 2.2.2* ive been looking for good and fun games and i tell you one thing this game is just amazing including that you barely even get ads!!! i love this and i beat everything but mix mode im in it rn and its so fun :D ### 5/5 — Great Customer Service *2025-10-27, version 2.2.2* I wrote a review 2 weeks ago complaining about recent changes to Lines regarding ads and the Daily Challenge. I’m happy to report I got messages directly from the developer (Gamious) which addressed my complaints and LINES IS BACK TO NO ADS (if purchased that way) and the Daily Challenge has the ‘Play Again’ option restored. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Every day *2025-09-18, version 2.2.2* I play the daily release of Lines first thing every morning. I also play lines when I have a long wait, like when I’m flying. No internet needed so it’s a great plane game. ### 5/5 — Perfecto *2025-09-17, version 2.2.2* Perfecto. Entretenido. Y con mucha estratégia ### 5/5 — Game from my childhood *2025-09-16, version 2.2.2* This game challenges your brain so good! I was going through my Game Center when I saw this gem and didn’t finish the achievements, so I decided to redownload it and oh boy!! I love the concept, the use of the piano keys after colors hitting each other, and the overall minimalist design! I did pay for no ads but that $2 is worth it to het the full zen experience! ### 4/5 — Math glitch *2025-09-07, version 2.2.2* Makers, My daughter likes this game very much! Although, we got back a percentage of 31%, 31%, and 39%, which makes ONE HUNDRED ONE PRECENT! Sincerely, L. Kominitsky ### 5/5 — So Entertaining *2025-08-31, version 2.2.2* Makes you think and so fun!!’ ### 5/5 — DrSL *2025-08-10, version 2.2.2* Addictive! Love it… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This game WAS so good *2025-12-31, version 2.2.2* And it now provides an experience interrupted every 60 to 90 seconds with ads. I don’t understand the reviews which rate this intrusive annoying version so highly. Fake reviews maybe? ### 1/5 — Ads 😳 *2025-12-10, version 2.2.2* Ads 😡 ### 1/5 — Toujours plus de pub *2024-11-10, version 2.2.2* Insupportable… ### 1/5 — The game itself is fun *2024-10-09, version 2.2.2* The ads usually play for twice as long as it takes to get through a round, so it’s a lot of waiting. It ruins the game for me and I am going to delete the app. ### 1/5 — Lines the game *2024-10-08, version 2.2.2* Реклама убило желание играть. Даже авиарежим не помогает. После каждого раунда / длинная нудная реклама ненужной игры. ### 1/5 — Why require review to play *2023-12-23, version 2.2.0* Hard to play without removing ads ### 1/5 — Awesome! *2023-11-04* Update: I paid to remove ads, but the ads are still showing up. I’m downgrading my rating until this gets fixed. I love, love, love this game! I finally have gold trophies on all 250 levels, although it took me a few months of playing sporadically to get there. Will there ever be more levels? All I can do now is replay levels and try the daily challenges. Update: There are new levels!!! I love the new format! A trick to keep in mind is that mathematically, sometimes the puzzles are impossible to win. When this happens, back out of the puzzle, and press play again. Voila, the puzzle resets! This game is fast, challenging, and mathematical, but not in a 'classroom' way. There are angles in some of the geometric shapes that help you figure out where to place your points; in other puzzles, it's not obvious at all. The best piece of advice I got while playing this game was from my son: he said that "they (the opposing dots) are going to get some portion of the puzzle; you just have to try to get more of it." It seems simplistic, but I had a mindset (at first) that I didn't want to give away any more than I had to. Accepting that they will get 'some' of the space made it easier, somehow. Hope that makes sense. Great game and I highly recommend it! **Developer response:** Hi there, this is fixed! After installing the most recent update, you need to need to click on Restore Purchases in Settings once. After this, the Remove Ads unlock should be saved properly. Enjoy playing Lines! ### 1/5 — Ad viewer 9000 *2023-09-16, version 2.2.0* 3 parts ads 1 part game Ads after every level 0/5 ### 1/5 — Another video ad interrupted by 30 seconds of a game *2023-08-21, version 2.2.0* If you like having your device hijacked by an unstoppable video ad that then forces you into the app store and your only option is to download another game or close out the app..then this the game for you. YES, even you've paid to remove ads. Garbage business model. ### 1/5 — Error *2020-04-06, version 2.0.0* El juego no me deja avanzar, no se me carga el anuncio diciéndome que no tengo conexión a internet pero si la tengo, le pongo un 2 porque me había gustado la dinámica del juego pero no puedo avanzar ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Deceptively simple *2026-08-30, version 2.2.2* Love this relaxing game, have been loving it since 2016. Now, since latest upgrades loving it even more. Thank you, For your cleverness and generosity. So many games are rip-offs, you are the diamond on top of the dross ### 5/5 — One of the Best! *2026-08-26, version 2.2.2* I’ve been playing Lines for years. Every single time, the puzzle is different. Some are more challenging than others, but the variable difficulty has not increased, nor has it become simpler. This game never gets old. ### 5/5 — The best *2026-08-14, version 2.2.2* Very fun game good to play at any time ### 5/5 — Can’t get enough *2026-07-19, version 2.2.2* About a month or so ago, l wrote to you about giving us a larger variety of puzzles for the daily challenge rather than the same 15 or 20 over and over. For the last few weeks I’ve noticed many different puzzles appearing daily. Coincidence? I think not. I like to think someone listened. Thank you so very much. Terry ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2026-07-02, version 2.2.2* Challenging, variety, easy to learn! ### 5/5 — Fun and challenging at times *2026-06-30, version 2.2.2* Not too hard but not super easy. Just enough to be fun while still being able to zone out while you play. ### 5/5 — Deceptively simple *2026-06-26, version 2.2.2* Love this relaxing game, have been loving it since 2016. Now, since latest upgrades loving it even more. Thank you, For your cleverness and generosity. So many games are rip-offs, you are the diamond on top of the dross ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-05-27, version 2.2.2* Would love to see an update. ### 5/5 — Fun and Strategic *2026-05-16, version 2.2.2* An absorbing pastime that still trips up the most seasoned player. It requires a bit of thought and is always a fun time. ### 5/5 — Simple + Smart *2026-05-01, version 2.2.2* Fun!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
