Das ist echt schade und vergrätzt mir das Spiel ### 3/5 — This is clearly their Masterpiece *2025-12-20, version 1.1.11* As far as I can tell this game is original.and it plays beautifully, and you can shift to a higher difficulty as desired. You can even turn the sound off, though the sounds are subtle and satisfying. First - the graphics are poor, they need a graphic designer to make this game tasteful and in line with Mondrian’s aesthetic Second - they need to allow mistakes. If I fill in the wrong colour, it takes a point off me, ut I’d rather be left to find out I did it wrong, and have the opportunity to experiment till I get it right, making this a true puzzle game. There are still bugs as other reviews note with the daily puzzles. Perhaps they could remove this feature. And make sure we can clear our progress and go back and play old levels. Or set up a large library of dailies, at unspecified levels of difficulty, which repeat randomly. I think this is what other games do. ### 4/5 — My favorite puzzle, some problems *2024-08-24, version 1.1.11* This is my absolute favorite puzzle. I’ve been obsessed since I discovered it. It’s like a more creative and complex sudoku. I like how I can play the first level of every pack and with patience I can make the coins to unlock everything without paying. The “Temporary Exhibitions” do not work though and I’d love to see that fixed. ### 3/5 — Love/hate *2024-08-16, version 1.1.11* Loved the game until days of unresponsive temporary/daily games. Sent a message. No response/resolution. Had to delete. ### 3/5 — Disappointed with temporary levels *2024-08-11, version 1.1.11* Have been unable to access this for weeks now. Still can get coins daily. Can still use other level. ### 4/5 — Temporary Exhibitions not working again. *2024-07-27, version 1.1.11* It’s a very enjoyable game, but I miss the daily Difficult. Perhaps you could set it to cycle through old ones? The replayability is good, if there is a large enough number of old puzzles to draw from. ### 4/5 — Excellent puzzler - some glitches *2024-07-24, version 1.1.11* Overall, really neat and visually pleasing twist on sudoku. For the past month or more, daily puzzles have not been working / available which is a shame. ### 3/5 — Quel est le problème ? *2024-07-23, version 1.1.11* J'étais ravie de ce jeu et bien qu’ayant terminé les expositions permanentes, je me réjouissais chaque jour de trouver des grilles temporaires. Hélas, depuis un bon bout de temps, ces expositions temporaires ne s’ouvrent plus… J’ai désinstallé puis réinstallé, mais rien n’y fait ! Quel est donc le problème ? Et quelle est la solution ? Chris. ### 4/5 — Nice! Small bug though *2024-07-09, version 1.1.11* Really enjoy how this sudoku-esque puzzle challenges you to find new strategies. Unfortunately none of the daily puzzles work for me. I click them and they don’t even open. Otherwise, fun game! Good work. Agree with the other reviewer that mentioned color options/variations would be fun. ### 3/5 — Temporäre Rätsel *2024-06-30, version 1.1.11* Leider gehen die temporären Rätsel seit einigen Wochen nicht mehr. Schade. ### 3/5 — Fehler *2024-06-20, version 1.1.11* Freigeschaltete Rätsel in der temporären Ausstellung lassen sich nicht öffnen. ### 3/5 — Love/hate *2023-06-20* Loved the game until days of unresponsive temporary/daily games. Sent a message. No response/resolution. Had to delete. **Developer response:** Hi quekins, sometimes we run out of level. Fixing sometimes took more times, even more when it happens before or on a weekend, when the dev`s aren`t working. Greetings, Alex from LITE Games Team. ### 4/5 — Curious *2023-04-26, version 1.1.11* Really enjoy the game. But why darken the colours…they are the main thing Thanks ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keine Funktion ! *2025-06-14, version 1.1.11* Ich hatte das Spiel schon auf meinem alten Handy. Da hat es funktioniert, ich weis nicht, warum?! Jedoch auf dem neuen, funktionieren die täglichen Spiele gar nicht mehr, hab es über Wochen versucht, mit mehrmaliger Deinstallation. Es ändert sich jedoch gar nichts! ### 1/5 — No any updates for more then 2 years :( *2025-01-03* The game was great, but unfortunately no level updates for so many years, and even temporary (daily) a few new levels has been broken for a very long time, it just don’t open… Looks like game has been completely forgotten by developers. It has even notification about “new” Mondoku, that simply does not exist anymore… Reinstallation of the game doesn’t help. And it’s not even possible to reset the game so you can replay it again… that’s very sad since it was one of my fav games. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2024-06-29, version 1.1.11* Temporary exhibitions no longer working ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2024-06-20, version 1.1.11* I can’t get it to work on the daily challenges It will not open. ### 1/5 — Stopped working again! *2024-06-20, version 1.1.11* I really enjoy this app when it works but it regularly breaks. Haven’t been able to open any temporary games since yesterday. ### 1/5 — Excessive third party data sharing *2022-09-23, version 1.1.11* The puzzles are great, progressively more challenging and accessible without too many adverts. However, the app has now begun requesting third party data sharing with an excessive amount of companies (appears to be about 100) and there is no option to reject these in one go. After tediously rejecting each one individually, I thought this would be cleared but it then came back with the same request the next day! Will be avoiding the app until either a normal ‘Reject all’ option is provided or these data sharing demands are removed/reduced. Disappointing as it’s an entertaining app, I’d have been happier to pay a small ad-free fee for it. Developer - I can’t get into the app to see this Mondoku world you mention, as the consent screen comes up before you can do anything. Developer - I can’t register or see what this Mondoku world you mention is, as the consent screen appears before anything can be done in your app. ### 1/5 — Frozen *2021-07-25, version 1.1.4* Just downloaded this game and it won’t even go through the tutorial. Completely frozen. Useless. ### 2/5 — Daily puzzles stopped working. *2024-12-28, version 1.1.11* Daily puzzles stopped working. ### 2/5 — Temporary puzzles *2024-07-17, version 1.1.11* Temporary puzzles are great since I’ve finished all the permanent levels, but they aren’t working lately. I can’t get them to open. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app, restarted my phone but nothing seems to correct the issue. Please fix this. I love playing these puzzles. ### 2/5 — No longer can do daily puzzles *2024-06-21, version 1.1.11* Up until yesterday, I could do the daily puzzles. Now I can’t. Will make it impossibly slow to unlock rooms if the daily puzzles can’t be played. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — J’adore *2024-07-15, version 1.1.11* Trop bien ce jeu Les expo temporaires ne s’ouvrent pas aujourd’hui, dommage ,,, ### 5/5 — Was ist los? Seit ein *2024-06-28, version 1.1.11* Paar Tagen geht hier in der temporären Ausstellung nichts mehr… Muss ich was reparieren oder ihr? ### 5/5 — Bug *2024-06-27, version 1.1.11* Les expositions temporaires ne fonctionnent plus. ### 5/5 — Jeu limité dans le temps *2023-09-27, version 1.1.11* Dommage que l’on ne puisse pas aller plus loin ### 5/5 — I’m addicted *2023-06-20, version 1.1.11* Love this game, I play everyday, temporary exhibition, all levels, but I am suffering, I’ve not been able to play since 17 June. What’s going on? I’ve made great progress, 8 colours keeps me entertained and frustrated in equal measure. Please help. ### 5/5 — Tom *2023-05-20, version 1.1.11* Enjoyed and completed all levels. Will you be added more levels? ### 5/5 — Top *2023-05-03, version 1.1.11* A quand une extension des expositions permanentes avec de nouveaux niveaux ? ### 5/5 — Clever fun *2023-04-23, version 1.1.11* Ingenious improvement of a prior variant of sudoku. In original Color Sudoku, the colors are replacements for text labels (usually digits 1-9); in Mondoku, 2-D spatial intuition can supplement logic. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2022-06-22, version 1.1.11* This is an excellent addition to the Sudoku style range of puzzles. The range of difficulty means anyone should be able to start with this and quickly develop skills to progress, and the coins reward system means you can choose to purchase and push ahead or stick with a more leisurely progress rate. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel *2022-03-23, version 1.1.7* Ich bin ein riesiger Sudoku-Fan und Mondoku bringt frischen Wind in das Spiel. Die Idee und den Stil mit den Gemälden finde ich toll. Freue mich schon auf was noch so kommt. 😊 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
