### 4/5 — I've been looking for this!

*2010-04-29, version 0*

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!

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2013-04-06*

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.

### 5/5 — A little confusing but fun!

*2010-11-03*

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:)

### 5/5 — .

Love this game. Had the original board game. Worth 0.99$

### 5/5 — Beautiful craftsmanship!

This is a lovely app. Excellent mental workout with a really gorgeous design.

### 5/5 — Best Black Box ever

*2010-01-13*

What the screenshots can't show is all the wonderful animations. Summoning balls from the tray, zeroing in on the actual target locations, and even just opening the game are all mini works of art. The first time I ran the app, I literally just quit and restarted 3 or 4 times to watch the initial fade. I've never really "gotten" the Black Box game mechanic before, but this version makes it much clearer to me. Lots of fun!
