Since they're easy, it goes fairly quickly, but there are too many to get to the next level, for any challenge. It's good for killing time & I expect the puzzles get more challenging as I go. ### 4/5 — Love the game, hate the ads *2018-03-12, version 1.7* I have really enjoyed playing this game. It is a relaxing game that helps the brain. The constant ads popping up really take away from the game. If I don’t respond to an add with in the first 4 times it pops up, you can be sure the next 10 times is only going to irritate me. I am deleting game. ### 4/5 — Very challenging!!!!! *2017-11-25, version 1.6* This is a very challenging game. In a good way. It's a game to help us make our brains stronger. It's makes us think in a way we never have. I love this game! LONG LIVE THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 :3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3But I have a few improvements: 1.Make the number link thing move faster 2. Get rid of ads in general 3. Add some more games instead of just having number link and unblock. I've done these before, they're not that challengibg ### 5/5 — Love the game *2017-11-23, version 1.6* Love the game .just wondering why I can’t turn the volume of the sound.i have the sound turn down all the way it is still loud. ### 5/5 — Already great *2017-08-18, version 1.6* But I agree a dark background would make the colors pop. And is the ad at the top really necessary?Just like the one that takes up the whole page, no one will buy whatever they're selling because it's obnoxious. ### 5/5 — Good puzzle app! *2017-07-04, version 1.6* This puzzle app is a good way to stretch your brain for a while. Puzzles are tough but solvable. ... a good way to spend a few spare minutes when you get the time. You might get hooked! ### 4/5 — Fun and Challenging *2017-06-04, version 1.6* These games are great! The wooden piece puzzles are very challenging. Playing them can help create new neuro-pathways in the brain. I would ask that you please put in a help button with instructions on how to play each game. ### 4/5 — Addition.... *2017-06-03, version 1.6* There should be a running count of the minimum moves for each round.. different skins as well. However, this is a very fun and challenging game for all ages! Continue to improve and don't sell out... ### 3/5 — Nice, but..... *2017-01-12, version 1.6* I'd like the background darker, a lot less ads pop up after EVERY completed game and a "back one move only"button on the higher levels. But the app works perfectly fine and I've had no glitches. ### 4/5 — Ads are an issue *2017-01-10, version 1.6* Game is fun and addictive but the constant ads are annoying as is the fact that these have volume even when you've muted the game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Play a few times, then dead ends *2017-09-10, version 1.6* App summarily takes you out of your chosen game into some other unrelated game, that it demands you "play now", with no visible means to go back. Have to terminate the whole app and start over from home screen. Asks you to write a review after playing about three times. Continually displays undismissable ads at the bottom, with no option to buy an ad free version. For all the effort to develop the app, why not allow the user to control it? ### 1/5 — I'd like two major changes *2016-11-28, version 1.6* I'd like a darker, possibly black background so the colors would be seen better. Another improvement would be an easier access to where you start the next game after closing and reopening the app (not having to scroll so much). A note to rate to unlock all features keeps popping up, therefore, I am changing my rating to 5 stars, not less in hopes it will stop requesting me to rate it. Now rating it with 2 stars. Going to rate it with only 1 star if I am required to rate it again. The game is fun but too many ads and requests for rating. ### 3/5 — Irritating *2022-08-14, version 1.7* Each game takes me about 3-5 seconds to get though. I would like this game a lot more if I didn’t get a pop up asking me to give a good review about every two games. I also can’t stand the constant videos I have to watch between each game. It’s literally the reason I’m deleting this app and will find another one. ### 3/5 — Might be fun *2021-06-21, version 1.7* After figuring out the objective of this game, I tried several games. I was quickly successful at the “easy” level. It seems the game has potential. I like that to be successful, first try (minimum moves), I have to pause and look to at possible solution. I think it will sharpen my aging brain. ### 3/5 — Great game, but *2019-12-19, version 1.7* This is a great game, but the ads after every puzzle keep freezing and I am unable to close them leading to me to force quit the app about every 3rd puzzle/ad. Also the primary reason I am rating is to attempt to get rid of the pop-up asking me for a rating that has been happening after the ad after every single puzzle. ### 3/5 — Good game but has some glitches *2018-09-23, version 1.7* There are some games that when solved correctly don’t register as finished. #584 in the 8*8-10*10 section for example. It would also be nice to have a replay button without having to go back a level and then forward again. ### 3/5 — Your game has no potential way to make sense *2018-07-09, version 1.7* This game is fun but every Single time you finish a puzzle you think if you say” rate to unlock” people are go and rate it NO! Also when you run out of hints but you need one extra hint you also say “ rate to unlock “ and 10% of people are going to stop what they are doing and go and rate it. The 90% of people leftover are like most people who bring this up are tired of having to click “ cancel “ a million times. Also most 4-6 year olds like cars, Barbie dolls, fairies and princess’s, and Dinosaurs not adult games. Please fix these or the 2 million out of 2 million and 1 will stop playing this game. ### 3/5 — Too needy! *2017-10-07, version 1.6* I’ve had this game for less that five minutes. Most of that time has been spent dealing with a request to rate it. It looks like it could be a challenge if I ever got past the “easy” set, but I’m already tired of the interruptions. So here’s my review; and I’m looking for something else less needy. ### 3/5 — Way too many ads *2017-07-03, version 1.6* There's way too many ads that pop up in the middle of games. There's also way to many pop ups asking to rate the game. It's very annoying and distracting. Other than that, it's great. ### 3/5 — You need to make the ads go away! *2017-04-19, version 1.6* I just want to pay for this app and play! I refuse to buy any pop-up ad games because they are annoying me so much! Please make it possible to buy an ad-free version. I do like the game itself, though. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is a great game and my favorite. *2022-08-17, version 1.7* I t took a long time for me to find a connect the balls game but this is the one that pleases me the most. ### 5/5 — The Best *2021-07-08, version 1.7* This is the best of its kind. The mazes are sufficiently challenging for mindful and relaxing play and the advertising breaks were short and not too frequent. Give it a try. If you like it like I do, you can play on. If you don’t like it, you can quit. You will lose no money and little time. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-04-22, version 1.7* I’ve had it for over 2 years now. Just bought a new cell and I have to continue with it. I like the challenge and I need to exercise my mind. And what better It’s free. Thank youuu!!🙋🏻‍♀️👍 ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-01-22, version 1.7* So fun. So addicting. Be careful though cause once you start playing it’s extremely hard to stop playing. ### 5/5 — Hard but gradual release *2019-08-03, version 1.7* Very good game, visual puzzles build from super easy to hard getting enough practice time among the difficulty levels ### 5/5 — Challenging and fun *2019-01-18, version 1.7* I honestly have enjoyed this so far. I haven't asked for a hint yet, but some puzzles make me think for a long time. I would suggest improving the way we have to navigate to another level to a particular puzzle, because it is sometimes tedious to continue where you left off. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2018-06-04, version 1.7* I love how this game has options in game and easy through hard. If you are looking for a way to relax and do puzzles, this is the way ### 5/5 — Great game for learning patterns! *2018-04-12, version 1.7* I have played for a bit now and love the idea of cognitive recognition in games. For the best results, you need to focus on where each move needs to be made BEFORE you play. Very Enjoyable! ### 5/5 — You already won’t me to rate the game and I haven’t really. Got to play very much. *2018-02-08, version 1.7* I haven’t even got to try some of the other puzzles. ### 5/5 — Im so addicted to this game *2018-01-27, version 1.7* I’m enjoying this game that I have it on my iPad n on my gone so whenever I go out n have to take the bus or the train I play it. I really like this game so much that when I have a bit of free time I play it. Tnx for such an amazing game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
