### 5/5 — Omg this is so satisfying.

*2025-01-29*

I love how quick I can retry. Genuinely gets me strategizing and on to the next attempt without feeling bummed out when I lose. Music is nice. Menus and setting options are nice. Even has a slow down option in the settings if you need it to be easier. Couldn’t be happier with this!  Very well polished.

### 5/5 — Best game

*2024-08-28*

Easy to pick up and fun to play. The progression through the levels is interesting and challenging. Bought the additional levels, cheap and well worth it.

No ads ever!

### 5/5 — Worth Premium

*2020-12-24, version 1.2*

The game is amazing and it is worth paying for. however if you want to have a game to last a long time then i don’t recommend this one but overall it is amazing.

### 3/5 — It’s fun, but...

*2020-08-06*

I really liked the concept of the game until I got up to the part where I had to pay to play the actual game.
Fun until then😢

### 2/5 — Hard

*2020-08-04*

Is boring because it’s only the same thing and as well because it’s very hard

### 5/5 — Nice look and feel

*2020-08-03*

The sound track to the game is really nice and the game is super fun and has a satisfying look.(Maybe you could add a creation mode so that players in the community could make their own levels and share them, just an idea). Super good job 👍

### 1/5 — I didn’t like it

*2020-08-01*

After the first few levels you have to pay to unlock the rest IT took me about 2min to complete the fred version if you have the spare money and dont mind, go ahead. If not its kinda useless

### 5/5 — Great concept, fun and challenging

*2020-07-24*

Really fun concept, looks great. Each level presents a cool new puzzle and it gets quite challenging. Great that you can adjust the speed to make it easier!

### 5/5 — Surprisingly addictive

*2020-07-24, version 1.0*

Fun and surprisingly addictive once you get the hang of it! I love the slo-mo effects when you get close to the target/red

### 5/5 — Fun and Challenging

*2020-07-23, version 1.0*

Lure is a fun, simple yet challenging game! Great audio to accompany the visuals.
