### 4/5 — 😺

*2022-07-17, version 1.9*

It’s a good thing to do when you’re bored

### 5/5 — Loads of levels!

*2022-01-30, version 1.9*

This game is a really fun game to play. It handles smoothly and I love the remarks at the end of each level. Super game and the second one is even better with it’s new game modes!

### 5/5 — 完全にハマった！

*2022-01-23*

大好きなパズルです♪
ハマりまくって少し時間あると始めてしまい、気付くとあっという間に1時間ほど経ってることが多かったです。
コンプリートしてロスです…

### 3/5 — Fun game

*2022-01-18, version 1.9*

It’s a fun game and makes you think. Only disappoint is if your fingers are any bigger than a stylus you do a lot of miss clicks.

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2021-09-10, version 1.9*

I had a whole clever, entertaining review, but my ipad or the app store just lost it. 🤬 Suffice to say, fantastic game, completely addictive and beautifully designed.

### 5/5 — Sweet Indie Game

*2021-07-11, version 1.9*

Thanks Lummox Labs for a cool relaxing game! A simple concept executed super well.

### 4/5 — pretty fun game

*2021-07-09, version 1.9*

probably not worth the money unless you’re very bored very often (like me, who finished every single level with 5*). its a nice way to waste your time while watching a tv show or something

### 3/5 — Glitches and bugs, no longer enjoyable

*2021-06-28, version 1.9*

I hate writing a negative review for an app I love so much, but there is no feedback option inside Noodles.
Ever since I updated to the current version, the game has had two issues:
* It is slower to respond to touch, causing multiple mistaps and awkward waiting as a result. 
* There is a graphical problem happening frequently that squashes the game downwards, flattening the square tiles to uncomfortable rectangular shapes that ruin the aesthetic of rotating noodle pipes.

I know you made Noodles 2, and maybe you are less motivated to fix Noodles 1 as a result. But my love for Noodles 1 is still strong and I would love to give you back 5 stars and my eternal gratitude. I’ve only just finished the 1000 levels of 5x5 and working on the 7x7’s, so this game is still young for me!

### 3/5 — I’m changing my review

*2021-06-07, version 1.9*

After the last update I am noticing great delays while playing the game.
To rotate one of the tiles I tap on it but the tap does not translate in the app. 
Many times I tap three times and have to wait a few seconds until all three get translated. 
Please optimize the game as it’s getting more and more unplayable.
I’m using an iPhone 11, so I don’t think performance is an issue here.

### 4/5 — Almost there

*2021-06-03, version 1.9*

Very nice game with pleasing graphics. Just one thing… undo button or something. Pieces are small and sometimes you press them by mistake once and you have to move all the way back which cost you moves etc.

### 5/5 — 面白い

*2021-04-01*

暇つぶしにいいです

### 4/5 — Darn near masterpiece

*2021-02-01, version 1.8*

I absolutely love this game! I have dedicated so many hours of my life to it. It's perfect for filling time or just keeping my fingers occupied. It's refreshing to see that it's still getting updates now. The sheer number of levels means I don't have to worry about running out and the lack of ads is fantastic. I really enjoy playing it at night, but the background is blinding even at my lowest brightness setting. I think it would really benefit from a dark mode. A reset button would also be helpful, since the only way to restart a level is to exit it and start it from the menu. 

Again, I cannot sing praise loud enough for Noodles. This has been easily my top game for years.

### 5/5 — Zen inducing

*2021-01-31, version 1.8*

This game is great for taking your mind off your problems without adding any extra stress to your life.

These puzzles are simple but they still make you really think if you want to solve them quickly. Solve enough of them and you start to notice patterns. Eventually, you learn enough of these patterns that you can solve them without thinking much, but they are still rewarding.

I’ve been solving these regularly for a few years and achieved 1000% completion on all 8 levels, and I’m just glad it’s easy to redo puzzles so I can keep solving them.

Thank you Lummox Labs!

Ottimo

Dayum, an update after 4years. Merry Christmas to you too!

### 3/5 — Game doesn’t open anymore on IOS 14

*2020-11-28, version 1.7*

Will the game get updated :(?

### 5/5 — Great relaxed puzzler!

*2020-06-23, version 1.7*

From really easy to really hard. This intelligent puzzle game is perfect for those who like to relax and switch off.  No timers, just clean smart gameplay. Great app.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-04-11, version 1.7*

Great simple game. Works the mind. 
Just wish it had a dark mode

### 5/5 — Still good! Unlike many publishers they haven’t broken it!

*2020-04-10, version 1.7*

Too often a good, simple app gets ruined by publishers who get impatient, greedy, or who simply don’t know where to stop. These guys get it! Had the app for well over a year now, and while I don’t constantly play it, it is infinitely replayable and is just as fun now as when I downloaded it. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Mal optimizado a iPhoneX

*2018-09-16, version 1.7*

No abarca aún toda la pantalla del iPhone X 😕 Pero es un muy buen juego.

### 1/5 — 더 만들어라 노예들ㅇ여

*2016-11-29*

5X5x ㅏ 
더만들어 주세요
1000단계까지 깨서 현기증 난단 말이에요

### 1/5 — 구매 내역 삭제해주세요

*2016-11-28*

구매 내역 삭제해주세요

### 1/5 — But in system?

*2016-10-06, version 1.7*

I have played the 1st 5x5 one, 4 times now. It gets to 100% complete and then resets to 0 percentage. It is now showing 902. Getting fed up of trying to complete it.

### 1/5 — Nice game but easy to play

*2016-09-19, version 1.7*

Hi, I think noodles are nice, however that easy with me, i can solve 8x8 under 90s, you want your game more attractive and hardest, you can send me the test version and let you know my feedback. Thanks for reading!

### 1/5 — 몇주째 다운로드 멈춰있어요.

*2016-09-14, version 1.6*

다운로드 취소도 안돼고 껐다 켜도 안돼고 몇주째 다운로드 상태로 멈춰있어요... 제발 어떻게좀 해줘요

### 1/5 — い

*2016-09-08*

操作しづらい

### 1/5 — Keine deutsche oder englische Lokalisierung

*2016-09-05, version 1.6*

Ich spreche die dargestellte Sprache nicht.

### 1/5 — Nope..not for me

*2016-09-04, version 1.6*

This is a copy of the other pipe/plumbing games out there. Almost down to the exact same patterns. I've played my fair share of these in the past and recognised the so called levels in Noodles. I've definitely played them in other games.

That's poor game development in my book.

### 1/5 — Cheaters!!!!!

*2016-09-03*

I downloaded this app as a "Free App of the Day" but Rs.120 got deducted from my CC.

I want my money back!!

### 5/5 — Viel Liebe für Noodles :-)

*2026-05-15*

Das Spiel macht wirklich Spaß. Schön für zwischendurch, gern auch mehrere Runden am Stück. Die Schwierigkeitsgrade sind für mich genau richtig und wenn man doch mal festhängt, gibt es irgendwann Hilfe. Das ganze garniert mit freundlichen Kommentaren. Dieses Spiel ist einer der wenigen Diamanten, die man mittlerweile noch im App Store findet.

### 5/5 — Super gut

*2026-03-20*

Schöne Grafik, tolle Spielmechanik. Mir macht es großen Spaß! Und ja, es kann süchtig machen :-)

### 5/5 — Super fun

*2026-01-24, version 1.9*

Just buy it. It’s awesome

### 5/5 — Never Change

*2025-05-03, version 1.9*

Been playing this game for over ten years on and off. Great brain game during down time. The best part is no ads!

### 5/5 — Love this app, but!

*2024-10-17, version 1.9*

I ADORE this app, have played it for years, more resets than I can count. I am unbelievably hooked for the rest of time.

The ONLY thing I wish it had that it’s missing is a dark mode! Please devs, I know it’s been years but this would be such a huge thing to add!!

### 5/5 — シンプルで楽しめる

*2024-09-15*

グラフィックデザインがシンプルで、見ていてイライラしない。

ルールもシンプルで単純なゲームだけれど、飽きずにハマります。

パズルゲーム好きには超オススメ。
お金払う価値があると思います。

### 5/5 — The best puzzle game I’ve ever played

*2024-06-14, version 1.9*

I’ve slowly played EVERY one of the 8,000 levels over years. It’s the best puzzle game I’ve ever played. Period.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2023-10-22, version 1.9*
