### 2/5 — Not saving stages

*2018-10-01*

Still not saving stages.  It would be nice if this gets fixed.  Always going back to stage one.

**Developer response:** Okay, I see the problem! Thanks for pointing it out.  Version 2.0.2 should fix this issue once and for all; I think it will behave more as you expect. Please give it a try.

### 2/5 — Doesn't save

*2010-09-04*

Neat concept, but low rating because it always starts new game when relaunching. At very least, it should save current stage.

### 3/5 — Won’t reset a new game!

*2018-10-03*

Since the latest update, often after completing a 9 level game the game will not reset at all. The playing field remains blank. I tried manually resetting a new game but the playing field still remains blank, no matter what. The only solution has been to delete the game and reinstall it from the App Store. This solution lasts a few rounds but then the same problem reoccurs. I am running an iPhone 7 with everything up to date on it. Help!

**Developer response:** Okay! I think I see the problem. It’s because you’re not tapping Cool in the dialog when the game ends. But no problem.  If this happens, just select New Game and then tap Done, and the new game will start. Version 2.0.2 should prevent the issue from recurring.

### 5/5 — Thanks, Matt.

*2020-07-06*

This is a really good app. I can play it and forget about time. On top of that, I’m studying iOS programming with Swift. This app was alluded to as examples in some places in the book by the author of this app. When I play the game in the app, I can better figure out how the code snippets work to fulfill their intended functionalities in the app.

Thanks a lot, Matt, for your app and your well-written books.

### 5/5 — Interesting Game

*2019-09-20*

It’s quite a twist on the standard connect like-shapes genre. I love the fact that you have to figure out the gravity patterns in order to maximize your combos and get a better time. I did not expect to end up playing a game for 30+ mins when I opened up the developer’s iOS book to study, but here we are! It definitely caught my attention and I’m going to see what scores my friends can get.

### 5/5 — LOVE this game!!!

*2012-05-01*

I can not stop playing this game.  It is very addicting! My only complaint are that if I stop in the middle of my game I have to start all over again.  I would LOVE to have this on my iPhone... Please make this for the iPhone!

**Developer response:** LinkSame is now available for iPhone, and in the latest version you're allowed to leave the app after a stage and resume the game later.

### 5/5 — Link same

*2011-02-25*

A simple yet fun and addictive game. My only suggestion for change would be to slow down the point deduction penalty timer as it is WAY too fast.

**Developer response:** In the latest version, the bonus point curve is flattened out, so it's easier to make extra points.
