I’ve kept the app because it’s something to do when I have a moment or need something to do with my hands, but don’t expect much from it. You can pay in coins to access more difficult levels, but if you fail the more difficult levels, then you have to watch an ad to try again. And speaking of ads, there are SO many of them. After every level, you’re forced to watch an ad. You get hardly any coins UNLESS you watch an ad. Like, I get it, it’s a free app. Ads are a part of it. But there are a ridiculous number of them, just too many. The reason I give it 3 stars is because I’m not hating the experience. It’s a decent app, but too many ads. I’ve literally never left a review on an app before, but I felt the need here. ### 3/5 — Fix it *2021-04-25, version 1.11* I gave 3 stars. Wouldve gave 5 because I like this game. It’s calming for my anxiety. I play another popcore game parking jam An love it but i get a lot further on it. The bonus blocks are a bit harder then I thought they would be but also any time I try to watch an add to double my coins or get a skin or something the game freezes An I have to completely go out of the game An go back on repeating the level I did an I still can’t watch it after. It’s weird. Please fix that. I’ll give 5 stars when I can do what it offers. ### 3/5 — Fun but annoying *2021-04-22, version 1.11* Painting the cubes is a lot of fun. Not a word game, card game, match three game. No death, no violence, just a cube and some paint. It makes you think, which is great. But the ads...beat a level, watch an ad. Beat a level, for extra coins, watch an ad. Beat 2 levels, watch an ad. Not quite 50-50 ad to gameplay, but probably 40-60 ad to gameplay. More levels than ads, but keep in mind that a level only takes a couple minutes. I still think it’s fun and original. The game itself would be a 4 or 5 star game. I’m only level 30, so I have no idea what’s ahead. ### 2/5 — Needs Variety *2021-03-31, version 1.9* I have sat and played through over 500 levels. Level 534 is so simple a 6 mo old could do it. You think it would get harder and more challenging the higher levels you go. But I can tell you putting a couple of interlocking figure 8s with only one path to go down no matter what you do is not challenging. I was very hopeful for this game to get harder that I kept telling myself it’s go to get harder than this. But after going through the levels I have and seeing duplicates and mirrors of the duplicates I am pretty sure this app has no challenge left to offer. Play it for a while on the free version. It don’t waste the money on removing ads because they won’t waste their time making it challenging. ### 3/5 — Bad ad ethics *2021-03-12, version 1.9* The game will give you the option to watch an ad to earn a skin. If you refuse to watch the ad the game almost always plays one anyway because you finished a level. I understand ads pay for the game to be free, but the sheer amount makes me want to give up the, otherwise very fun and addicting, game to play anything else. ### 2/5 — Boring Vehicle for Ads *2021-01-10, version 1.7* So I saw an ad for it, and it looked like it could be a pretty unique puzzle game. But, essentially it’s just drag a cube along a track. There’s no challenge at all. I played about 60 levels. There’s always an ad at the bottom of the screen. There’s an ad every two levels. There’s an ad when you want to unlock a new cube THAT YOU EARN BY LEVELING UP. Normally I would pay to remove the ads, but again, it’s not challenging. ### 3/5 — It’s alright *2021-01-07, version 1.7* It’s a pretty decent time passer. I thinks it’s crappy how you can’t watch an ad to get a free ‘ball’ or to upgrade your town because you need to check your internet connection, but yet you still have to watch an ad after every level just about. I did have service though while it told me to check my connection. 🧐🤔 ### 3/5 — Satisfying but repetitive *2021-01-05, version 1.7* Love this game for the satisfying aspects of it. I just wish there were actually levels like in the ads where you have the whole cube to paint instead of the same paths over and over. On level 1000 and still haven’t gotten close to levels that I saw in the ads. ### 3/5 — WAY TOO EASY!! *2020-12-26, version 1.7* You made way too many ‘levels’, like virtually all of them except the ‘Challenges’, in which you used an embarrassingly (for you) too minute area of the cube. Did you have a first-grader in mind when you created these? I just couldn’t believe how quickly they all go by, with a kind of a ‘double-take’ and head shake at the end of each one, and a “Really?!?” 😳🤯 Why did you not use more area of the cube in the levels? ### 3/5 — Beautiful but boring *2020-11-20, version 1.5* I had to stop after 20 levels. The graphics are stunning and it’s fun to watch the cube rotate, but—- the paintball is in a track. There is *literally* no other option but to move it through the course in the proper sequence. If the roller erased paint that it passed over twice, or if there were hurdles that caused it to jump the track or ANYTHING that made it feel like a “game”, I would love to relax and play, but this is... watching paint dry. It’s boring. ### 2/5 — Levels are too easy *2020-11-19, version 1.5* This game is a lot of fun, and great for focus & anxiety relief. That being said, I’m on level 683 and it’s way too easy. For a puzzle game I expect the levels to become more challenging the farther you go, but once I got to around level 50, not much has changed. Every once in a while you’ll get one that’s more difficult than the others, but 90% of the time it’s all the same. At first I kept playing because I hoped it would get harder - it hasn’t. Now the only reason why I play is because it’s satisfying, but I’m getting pretty bored regardless. ### 4/5 — Starts slow, higher levels get better *2020-11-15, version 1.5* First I was annoyed because the levels were too easy. 30 something levels in and there were still no choices to make! Deleted the app but kept seeing ads for challenging levels so I gave it another shot. I’m on 71 now and it’s gotten better. Still not hard but it’s a cute time killer while I’m standing in line. Hoping it gets difficult soon. ### 4/5 — Not very challenging *2020-11-11, version 1.5* This game is fun to play, however if you are looking for something to challenge you it will leave you unsatisfied. I’m over level 500 and ready to stop playing, I was hoping with each level it would offer something more. ### 3/5 — Monotonous, but relaxing *2020-11-07, version 1.5* My biggest complaint is that the puzzles don’t get harder. I’m on level 390 and I’ve gotten to the point where I have the majority of the patterns memorized. The puzzles, though monotonous, are relaxing. It lets me zone out. I’ve seen comments where you turn on airplane mode to avoid ads, but that doesn’t work well for me. You still stare at a blank screen for the length of the ad, and sometimes it doesn’t go back to the game and you have to re-boot it. ### 2/5 — Too easy, no challenge *2020-11-02, version 1.5* I love a good puzzle game and fun the ad is looks like this could be just that. But there is no challenge there is penalty. It's just coloring in the block. Which, may very well, be great for some people. For me it just makes the game boring. Even a setting where you can't touch a space you already colored could make the game vastly more challenging and interesting. ### 2/5 — Meh *2020-10-09, version 1.5* This “puzzle” game isn’t really a puzzle. The mazes are really simple to the point that you can solve them in 15-30 seconds. And then there are ads after every level. Really annoying! I just want to play the game! Plus, for some reason, my iPad gets really hot while playing this game. I play games with more complicated graphics so I don’t know what kind of power this game is using, but it’s annoying. ### 3/5 — Not much of a maze *2020-09-30, version 1.4* I’ve played through 101 levels and 95% of them have just been a single path you follow with zero challenge. Maybe once I get into the thousands (like some player claim) it will get more interesting, but I doubt I will have the patience. Not a bad game if you are 5, but it takes way to long to become anything if you are an adult. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not really a puzzle game. Just swiping. *2021-07-17, version 1.13* 300 levels in and the normal levels with no move limit are still very obvious with where you need to go. You’re just following a path instead of completing a puzzle. The challenge levels could be interesting but the move limit makes what could be a puzzle into a game of chess and you need to watch ads to try them again. At the end of every level the game tries to get you to watch an ad for a stupid skin. The knock off Animal Crossing or whatever house building is copy pasted from their other games and pointless. This game’s about sliding a block around where does the world building thing fit in at all? ### 1/5 — Dumb *2021-06-09, version 1.12* First 50+ levels require no thought. This is one of those scammy games that make people feel smart but the “puzzles” require no strategy. Every move leaves you with only one choice and the puzzles solve themselves. You could just blindly swipe your finger and probables solve the first 40. The game is an ad slaver. Nothing like the ads I saw. Wish game deva would just make the games they tease us with. ### 1/5 — Zzzzzz, sleepy after playing *2020-11-22, version 1.5* I’m one level 131 and I’m still repeating some of the same designs. It’s like a circle maze, just keep going I. The same direction and you’ll finish it in no time. There is no time limit, no move limit, so it’s impossible to lose. I’ve spent more time watching the 30 second adds than I did playing the levels. It’s almost as much fun as watching paint dry except even more pointless. ### 1/5 — Pay for Ads. *2020-10-07, version 1.5* I paid the $3 to get rid of ads cause i thought it was worth it cause i like these kind of thinking games. Only nope. I restarted app to find hey, you have to go in and hit the No Ads button every time u open the app or else u get ads every time. >.> so all ur doing is paying for a function to turn the ads off for that session of play. Fix or this is the last app ill buy from this developer. ### 1/5 — I would pay to skip to the level in the ad *2020-09-29, version 1.4* The ad for the game actually looked interesting, so much so that I would even pay a few bucks to be able to skip to that level of difficulty. So sure, you got me to play way too many levels and watch way too many ads only to be disappointed every time, but now I HATE you and will never play another one of your games again. There doesn’t even seem to be a way to pay to get rid of ads, which I probably would have done if you gave me the option during the honeymoon phase of this game. But hope you’re happy with the tiny ad revenue and embittered consumer you produced instead. ### 1/5 — Too easy *2020-09-15, version 1.4* I honestly don’t know why I’ve kept this game as long as I have. I guess I thought it looked fun and maybe it would start getting better. I thought it was like a maze and puzzle game, but I’m on level 175 and it’s still basically as easy as the first level. All you do is follow a line. And there is an insane amount of ads. Also, there is a weird game within a game where you build houses and upgrade them and they give you coins every few hours. ### 1/5 — Same old thing... *2020-09-06, version 1.4* The ad you see for this game looks interesting and a fun, but like so many other games these days, the first five thousand levels are mind-numbingly boring and ad-laden. I played through 30 levels or so (and about 12-15 ads), and there was very little improvement and no skill required. I finally gave up and deleted it. I understand that some people like mindless easy games, and that's fine, but it would be trivial to give a selection choice of easy/hard and allow the game to suit a broader audience. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2020-08-25, version 1.3* The ads for this game are extremely misleading. I honestly expected a puzzle game where you would have to think outside the box, but instead I got an awful excuse of a puzzle game. It is literally the easiest thing ever. Even if the levels do get harder it doesn’t matter because the game is not engaging at all and the first 30 levels could be solved first try by a 2 year old and I bet the rest of them could be too. No one will ever know though because most people would jump in a wood chipper before they played more than 10 levels of this garbage. ### 1/5 — Waaayyyyy to easy *2020-08-21, version 1.2* I thought this game would be like a puzzle and you’d have to figure stuff out and put some thought into it. But it’s like it’s on beginner mode all the time. I’m on level 231 and it hasn’t been even remotely challenging. You don’t have to think at all you basically just go where the lines lead you. Where is the challenge? There is none. I keep hoping the game will get more challenging as I go but I don’t want to play to level 1000 to see if anything changes. I’m bored to tears. This game is for ages 4+. Very disappointed in myself for wasting so much time playing a game whose ad was clearly misleading by making you think you’d be trying again and again to solve the puzzle. Maybe this company is the kind that will listen to its consumers and make needed changes. ### 1/5 — Too easy, false advertising *2020-08-17, version 1.2* This game is simply too easy, a five year old could figure it out. I saw an ad on another game, where there were a color white spots to bounce off of the color the whole cube, and it looked relatively challenging, but when I downloaded the game for myself I was sourly disappointed. It’s basically like swiping the cube through a clear path, there is absolutely no puzzle aspect to it. Too bad, it’s quite an interesting game idea, but paired with the (almost nonstop) ads, it’s just not worth downloading. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I like it *2021-02-16, version 1.8* I don’t normally write reviews for games but I like this game it’s one of the few games I actually play everyday. I could tell that the patterns started to repeat but I continue to play because it’s a very relaxing game and gets me through my late nights at work I’m on level 1316 ### 5/5 — DOWNLOAD RIGHT NOW *2020-12-15, version 1.7* OH MY GOD I started playing this game for one hour AND I AM ADDICTED TO IT. You must download this app right now. This reminds my of another game called amaze where you would have to go color the “maze” 🤌. But downloading this game made me see a new world 🌎 LIKE IT MADE ME SEE AFRICA🤌. Buttttttttttt DOWNLOAD THIS GAME RIGHT NOW OR I WILL HUNT YOU 🔪. Hehe jk but seriously download this game. Sincerely, the best gamenoober of all time. Ps check out my YT it’s called Christmas Soul Error. Bye 👋 ### 5/5 — Very fun and relaxing but... *2020-10-03, version 1.4* Definitely a fun game. It’s kind of easy. I mean very easy. So far nothing I’ve came across was hard or even challenging. But it is very relaxing to play. I wish you guys would but in a Hard & Expert modes for people like me who loves to play games like this. I’m on level 301, and still playing. ### 5/5 — I like it *2020-09-20, version 1.4* Yes, like some people say, the levels are very easy. Funny how some people have given up after lever 20 or 30. Well, I’m on level 4287 and still going. I just wish that there were more different patterns. It’s too repetitive. But I like it not because of it being challenging because is not but, because it is relaxing. As far as the ads, that does not bother me. I do not have any ads. I turn off WiFi and it limits the amount of ads. So please, do more designs, and maybe give the option of changing the colors of the cube and give it some patterns also. That might make it a bit more challenging. How about a see through cube. Sometimes I wish I was designing the patterns. Tu love it very much so keep it going. ### 4/5 — Fun little game but need more challenges *2022-02-14, version 1.18* I love playing but I’ve played over 3,000 levels but the challenges only go from 1-50. I guess the challenges quit being updated. It’s been a long time now and no more so far. ### 4/5 — It’s cool *2021-07-30, version 1.14* I don’t see the use for the stuff in the white space bar where it’s asking you to build land. I truly don’t see the reason for that in this game. I just play the game without that. Does anyone else do the same ? ### 4/5 — Very Good But... *2021-07-11, version 1.13* I love this game. It is very enjoyable yet simple, but there is a point when you start to see the same levels. They are scattered about but I have seen a few that I had already played thrown in. Maybe it's just me? Anyways, great game, great idea, wonderful graphics. I have had little or no problems with this game. Kudos to the developers! ### 4/5 — Fun but not challenging *2021-04-22, version 1.11* I am at level 620, and as much fun as I am having with it as just a fun puzzle game, I don’t find it very challenging. I was expecting to see the cubes that were in the advertisements by now, but instead it still feels like my hand is being held. ### 4/5 — One Improvement *2020-12-20, version 1.7* I like the game a lot. In fact, it’s only one of two games I’ve paid to remove the ads. I really enjoy that I can play and multitask, like watch something or talk to someone, but still feel smart. My only problem is that I really wish you could rotate the cube to see the different pathways. Because you are unable to do so, it feels like less of a puzzle or game of logic and more of a crapshoot. I’ve spent up to an hour on a level because the line zooms past a certain area that hasn’t been painted, and I can’t figure out how to get there. Also, much less important but I think a free paint mode that’s kinda like a fidget cube would be really cool. ### 4/5 — It’s fun but... *2020-12-01, version 1.5* The game is great, but I will say the demo levels at the beginning took a little too long. I didn’t really want or need 10 levels to explain the game to me, it would’ve been more fun if the game just picked up the pace faster. Maybe just a quick demo video at the start? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
