### 4/5 — Elena

*2018-06-04, version 1.4*

Невозможно изменить раскладку цифр на iPhone 6s! Предложение на изменение есть, а возможности нет. Есть screen, могу предоставить.

### 4/5 — Can't save player or background game

*2015-04-23*

Please fix to save player/scores and allow background of current game. Os8

### 4/5 — Unable to save a player

*2015-01-31*

Love the game so much I don't mind playing twice. But could you please fix the bug which would allow me to save my progress.

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2013-08-25, version 1.2*

I think the game is very good but crashes a few times but other than that very good hours and hours of fun 😄😃😄😃😄😃😄😃😄😄

### 3/5 — Nice idea, poor execution

*2013-08-13, version 1.2*

Can't listen to music and play. Can't resume games that are interrupted. A good idea ruined by poor design decisions.

### 2/5 — Bugs galore

*2010-10-13*

Freezing, crashing in high levels, endless series of 1s... How has this not been corrected yet? People have been complaining for quite a long time.

### 4/5 — Very good, but...

*2010-08-06, version 0*

Fantastic little game that starts off easy and quickly gets more challenging. Puzzle mode is particularly addictive but you can't listen to your own music when you play! Daft decision for a game like this. If I could choose the music I could play for hours!

### 4/5 — Хорошая игра

*2010-07-28, version 0*

Игра понравилась. Заставляет думать. Жаль что пройденные уровни не сохраняются в режимах Classic и Timeless. Поэтому только 4.

### 3/5 — Numba

*2010-06-27, version 0*

Great concept, presentation controls. Here is how to get 5 stars. Reduce game length for single player, total play should not exceed 15-20 min. Faster timer. Select starting level of easy medium, hard. Ie easy starts from level one. Medium level 20. Hard from level 40. Game should reward players starting a harder game. Leaderboards split as per difficultly. 
A sound like a heart beat when time is running out (fade out music during this time). Allow people to play there own music from iphone playlist.
 
Multiplayer bluetooth and wifi. 2-6 players start with same numbers. Every 15 sec the player with the lowest score loses a life ( say 3 lives to start with). Heartbeat for the player currently loseing (last place). Elininated player also gets a cheery bomb( which can be used to pause the action of a player they choose for 5 sec, sceen goes red and then fades back to game).Quite cheer for first place during race. Louder cheer if player passes another players score.  As a player loses a life they get to tilt (free jumble of player of there choice). Highest score at the end of four min is the winner. Tenson buider 30 sec warning anounced towards end and then 10 sec 3,2,1. 

Hotseat mode for the one phone ( min 2 players ). 30 sec each, game pauses for 5 sec for hand over.
Again winner outlasts or has a score higher after completing the reached level of the leader after 4 min.

Lastly get faint. It's good.

### 2/5 — Have bought but will never play this game

*2010-06-18, version 0*

I was immediately attracted to this game, and there's no denying that the price is right.

But the truth is that any money spent on this game is money wasted, because anyone who likes to listen to their iPod while playing puzzlers is out of luck. When the game starts, it overrides and shuts down the iPod music player — presumably so that we can all enjoy the cheesy music and pointless sound effects.

Really, though, Cobra Games — why? why?!

I seriously hope that an update is soon released that changes the situation, because I'd love to give this game a go. 

NB: I've arbitrarily assigned the game 2 stars, only because iTunes is forcing me to rate the application before I can submit the review.

### 3/5 — Still acting up

*2010-05-08, version 0*

Watch out when you reach higher levels in timeless mode. Regularly crashes and has done so again. You need to stay in the game to keep it working which is not practical. Come out of game and try to start from where you left off and it'll go back to level 1 which is a waste of time. Soooo disappointed....

### 4/5 — Love this game!

*2010-04-28*

However, when I got to level 27 it just kept putting out 1s so I had to quit. 5 stars if not for this bug. And I love the music!

### 4/5 — Bellissimo rompicapo.

*2010-02-04, version 0*

Bravi agli sviluppatori...hanno saputo creare un grande rompicapo.
Da perderci le ore.
4 stelle solo perché vorrei fossero implementate nuove funzioni.

### 4/5 — 世界観は好き。

*2009-12-01*

なぞって楽しいパズルゲーム。たまに起動しないときあるけど、音楽含めて合格点かな。

### 1/5 — Needs an update.

*2019-11-05, version 1.4*

Game has no sound at all.  It’s also formatted for the screen size of the iPhone 4. It might be tolerable if you have an iPhone 5 - 8, but if you have the X, Xs or 11 the display is way too small.

### 1/5 — No option to switch off audio

*2019-04-26, version 1.4*

Even if you put volume to 0 for music and effects it kills any music / podcast you might be listening to. So it forces you to either listen to the terrible game music or silence instead.

### 1/5 — Eigentlich ein super Denkspiel, aber

*2015-07-12*

Wenn man das Spiel ausmacht und dann wieder reingeht sind alle Spielstände und Profile weg! Das heißt wieder von vorne Anfangen....

### 1/5 — Rubbish!!

*2013-09-02, version 1.2*

This game is addictive and really good, but it just keeps kicking me out and restarting at he beginning so definitely not worth playing!!

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2013-03-16*

This is ridiculous. I got to a score of 4 million and it crashed! This has happened 5 times now!! Y'all need to FIX this!

### 1/5 — Iphone4 und 4.2.1

*2011-01-10*

Seit dem ich iPhone 4 mit 4.2.1 habe startet es sich nicht mehr, es beendet sich sofort wieder. Update dann mehr Sterne!

Ich hab das Spiel schon zu 3G Zeiten gekauft nun startet es nicht mehr und musste es erneut kaufen? Was das für'n scheiß? Ich will mein Geld wieder, ich glaub es hackt Abzocker!!!!

### 1/5 — I paid for this twice!!!

*2010-12-06*

I want a refund. I can prove from iTunes receipts that I paid for this twice. I want a refund I also have a pic of having it on my phone twice. This game is great but not for $4. Reason I download it twice was because the first one wasn't working at all. 

### 1/5 — Great...but crashes when launched

*2009-12-13*

I love this game, but in the last few months it crashes everytime it opens.  I've deleted it then reinstalled it, installed it after a phone restore and ect......still crashes. Will give 5 stars if they fix this problem...

### 1/5 — Why can't I redownload this game???

*2009-07-30*

### 5/5 — Numba ist wieder da !!!

*2013-08-13*

Ich habe das Spiel vor Jahren schon geliebt. Unter IOS 6 lief es allerdings nicht mehr. Jetzt ist es wieder da. Ok, man muss es jetzt erneut kaufen, aber die 89 Cent ist es mir allemal wert. Wegen den paar Cent nur 1 Stern zu vergeben ist schon lächerlich. Geiz ist nicht wirklich immer geil! Absoluter Suchtfaktor!

### 5/5 — Play it all the time!

*2013-05-09*

I have been playing this game for about 4 years now and while At times it's frustrating beyond belief, it always keeps my mind working! Great game

### 5/5 — Nice Pattern Game

*2012-01-31, version 1.2*

Slick and smooth animation. Draw number patterns to clear the board. A good diversion.

### 5/5 — Addictive!

*2011-11-26, version 1.2*

Great game, addictive and it gets your brain working... A little...

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2011-11-02, version 1.2*

One of the best match 3 games there is

### 5/5 — Works great

*2011-10-15*

Working great and enjoying the game.

### 5/5 — Semplicità e innovazione

*2010-05-09, version 0*

Un sacco di combinazioni da provare e una grafica pulitissima. Complimenti!!!

### 5/5 — Amazing app!!!

*2009-08-27, version 0*

This app is one of the best apps on the app store!!! If I could I would give it 1million stars!!! Well worth the money too!!! Well done!!!

### 5/5 — Fun with Numbers !

*2009-08-12*

If you like numbers, matching games and want more than the match three variety you found the game.Numba is alot of fun and will keep you playing. Cobra Mobile also makes Mouse About and IBomber two other games that I like to play.

### 5/5 — Beats every other number game... TO DEATH.

*2009-06-24*

This game kicks some serious butt. It has some of the best graphics I've ever seen in a puzzler bookworm style game, and a better art style and design than many games that are purposed to be far more exciting. Make no mistake, this game is exciting. Every single level feels exhilarating, since something new is added almost every level (gotten to 26) which keeps the game fresh. You connect numbers in different patterns (ordered, evens, odds, doubles, much more) and try to get enough percentage before the timer runs out. The music is amazing, with very fitting music and looped seamlessly. I honestly can't think of any way to improve this game, other than online high scoring.
There's really way too much in this game to list, but bottom line, if you like numbers, puzzlers, or FUN, what the hell are you waiting for? This is the ultimate choice. 5/5.
