### 4/5 — Gut

*2012-02-26*

So ein spiel ist viel besser als die langweiligen bejeweled-spiele

### 4/5 — Please update

*2011-08-28*

I had this game since it arrived to the app store and Ioved it right away. I played it often but it did end quickly, considering I paid $3 for it. I dont want to take the game off because I'm hopeful it'll b updated soon with more levels.

### 5/5 — 面白いです

*2010-12-20*

ひたすら、エイリアンをフリップで引き寄せて3匹でマッチさせるゲームです。操作に対する反応速度がかなり早くなかなか楽しいです。極めるとかなり速く操作する必要があるのですが、全然操作に引っかかりがありません。
エフェクトや音も爽快です。

### 5/5 — Ok

*2010-12-06*

This game is crack. I haven't slept for a week and my spine is all loose. Sold my house and living on the streets.

### 4/5 — Enjoyable challenge

*2010-12-04*

I bought this because it looked really polished and I wasn't disappointed. The mechanics are spot on for this sort of game. Other puzzle games really need to step it up after playing this. It gets challenging quite fast though so be prepared.

### 5/5 — Perfect

### 5/5 — Highly addicting!

*2010-11-15*

This game is definitely a must buy! It has a new twist on match three type games with nice unique artwork and music.  I'm amazed that this game is universal, with gamecenter and openfeint! Buy it now while it is cheap! You can't go wrong. 

To the developers: Please add more levels, and places. I give you guys five stars to support you guys in making more updates!

### 5/5 — Best Match-3

*2010-11-14*

If you like any Match-3-Puzzler you have to give this game a try.

### 5/5 — Epicly

*2010-11-09*

Amazing! Buy it totally!

### 5/5 — At last! An updated review...

*2010-11-08*

Finally, after several days of being stuck on the final few missions, I finally beat it! I must say that this is one of the most intense puzzle games I have EVER played, and that is just something you can't find in puzzle games nowadays. It's always the same old laid back match 3 puzzlers. But not Linkoidz. The 1500 points mission and the queen Linkoid mission were nail bitingly, sweat inducingly hard. But daaamn, was it satisfying as Hell to finally beat them! Excellent work, developers at Retro Dreamer. This was the definitive puzzle game experience im the AppStore. Can't wait to play through it again!

### 5/5 — love it

*2010-11-08*

I'm a fan of puzzle games, and this hits the spot.  Kind of a spin off, but still refreshing with a very cool theme.  All for a dollar right now too.

### 5/5 — Totalement addictif !

*2010-11-07*

Enfin un match-3 qui sort de l'ordinaire !
Réalisation aux petits oignons, original et varié voilà enfin le digne successeur en intérêt d'un Puzzle Bobble en moins arcade mais plus malin ! A ce prix c'est du pain béni !

### 5/5 — Bargain while it's on sale

*2010-11-07*

This game is addicting. You find yourself playing longer than originally intended. Definitely worth .99... grab it on sale while you can.

### 1/5 — Shady Company

*2016-01-05*

FTC recently fined this co for collecting personal info from kids.

Don't trust this company.

### 1/5 — Grosse décption

*2010-11-20*

Fan de puzzle game j'ai sauté dessus mais franchement la maniabilité est exécrable !

### 2/5 — Fabulous Application!

*2011-04-19*

The only problem with it, and it is a pretty big problem, is that the Linkoidz go off the top of the screen meaning there are some that are effectively hidden and you don't see or know exactly what they are until they have dropped down. Because of this problem one cannot get a completely clear round and the bonus that comes with it unless the player is very lucky! It also makes strategising exceedingly hard and tricky too! Because of these problems it loses one star for each. Harsh I know for such a brilliant take on the match 3 game but maybe it'll make the developers sit up and take notice and sort the problems out!
One star off because the Linkoidz are hidden off the top of the screen. One star off because one doesn't know what they are until they've dropped down and therefor getting the bonus for a completely clear round is not likely unless the player is very lucky! One star off because of the first two stopping any sort of strategy from happening, unless one has somehow got very lucky!

So it's not that I don't like it as I do, very much. I just don't like the problems as described above!

### 2/5 — Nicht mein Ding

*2010-12-02*

ich finde es stupide. Keine wirkliche Herausforderung und grafisch anspruchslos

### 2/5 — Decent but boring.

*2010-11-04*

This is certainly nothing more than a tired uninspired match clone.

### 3/5 — Love it! BUT

*2011-12-27*

This game is awesome and is a lot of fun. However I can't believe I had to pay for it, there are not enough levels! It needs to be updated immediately ! Otherwise I would recommend you don't pay for it because you will just be heart broken and bored when the missions (there is only ) end!

### 3/5 — Средне

*2011-12-01*

Игра не затягивает совсем. Благо что бесплатная пока. Покупать не советую.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2010-11-07*

Not my cup of tea. Plus the art style and music are pretty dated. Reminds me of Flash games circa 2004.

### 3/5 — Decent

*2010-11-04*

Don't get me wrong, it's a decent game for its low price tag. But I found myself not playing it again after the first day.

### 3/5 — Lots of potential!!!

*2010-11-03*

A great game, let down by some issues with the controls. If the controls were to be improved in an update, I would definitely change my review to 5 . Other than that, it's pretty damn good (;

### 5/5 — Just like magical drop

*2015-12-21*

Yes, I've been searching for my favorite arcade game since the 90's!  This app comes the closest and it even surpassed the the "magical drop" app on my original iPad!  
     No cutie anime characters but I can work with the aliens and sci-fi theme. It keeps me entertained and challenged 🙆🏻.

### 5/5 — So Addicting!

*2012-10-14*

Got this game during one of the Free December App Days and I have to say that it's so much fun. The upper levels get really intense at times, but if there was no difficulty, I wouldn't keep coming back to play it. Great execution, great music, great gameplay. Could definitely see this game in one of those arcade machines when I was younger. Love it!

### 5/5 — Well worth it

*2012-03-27*

My ipad turned into a linkoidz simulator it was used for this game after a while more than anything else.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2012-01-14*

One of the best hidden gems on the app store - excellent match 3 of a kind game that hadn't had the recognition it should

### 5/5 — Surprised that this is such a fantastic game!

*2011-12-02*

I saw this game a number of months ago, watched the trailer and didn't think much more about it. Recently, I was lucky enough to get this game while it was free. All I can say is WOW! This is a GREAT game! I would have been more than willing to purchase this game and have it have been worth every penny!

The trailer doesn't do it justice and I saw there is a lite version out now that you can try. If you have any doubts about it, I'd recommend downloading that version and trying it out!

The only drawback about this is that the difficulty ramps up pretty quick. I've been a (very) long time puzzle gamer and this one is hard for even me.

Kudos to the developers!

### 5/5 — The fun continues a year later.

*2011-12-02*

I left a review one year ago, and I still have fun with this game. Extremely polished (you can "feel" how fluid the game is) and unique fun.

### 5/5 — Happy app-vent

*2011-12-01*

🎄⛄ December 1st.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2011-05-06*

Essaye au hasard. Super reactif, prenant, speed, strategique et le must....excellent a deux sur le meme ecran (ipad) j adore!!!!

### 5/5 — Arcade match-3 frantic gem

*2011-03-10*

Having been brought to mobile gaming by Bejeweled several operating systems ago, I thought I'd had my fill of match-3 gameplay. Linkoidz brings an excellent arcade element to the genre and I've not put it down since picking it up for my iPad last week. You can look a bit strange swiping so frantically in the later levels, but this is mostly due to the well designed touch controls.

### 5/5 — Totally underrated gem of a game

*2011-02-27*

Really good twist on the 3 match scene. I have had my eye on this for a while and thought I'd finally take the plunge. Lots of training levels to help understand the many strategies with a good selection of modes etc. I trust Andrew from Appspy's reviews above all others and he gave this a 5 out of 5. I concur with his assessment completely.
