Excellent!

Beautiful graphics and animation. I researched Black Box apps and decided on this one, and it was a good purchase. It brings back all the fun of firing hypothetical beams through a mystery matrix to logically determine the location of the hidden targets. The only problem with the board game version was, of course, not always having that other player when you wanted a game. Obscurant plays well and looks good. Get it and have some fun being your own mad scientist.

A little confusing but fun!

I really like the original game and this is a really great way to play it electronically. The way is was described was a little confusing though. All the other black box game apps aren't as good so thanks for making it:)

I've been looking for this!

I have played a similar game under different names, and I love it...thank you for making this available! I'd like to see the option to (automatically & always) see the rays AFTER finishing the game (rather than having to go thru the menu each time) because I'm having difficulty with understanding the ways the green block can be created... the extra red gridlines are a bit confusing also...Overall, this is a clean and well designed game, and runs smoothly. This game is a keeper!
