### 5/5 — 面白い

*2025-12-25, version 2.2*

150ステージまでやったところ。
シンプルだけど面白いです。
さすがに疲れてきましたけど、他にも種類があるようなので買ってみようかな。

### 5/5 — 名作

*2025-07-12, version 2.2*

iOS18 のiPhone15でいまだに動く。たまに遊びたくなる。

絵が完成したときのなんとも言えない味わい深いファンファーレが好き

完成絵に添えられる偉人の言葉みたいな英文も好き

### 5/5 — Soooo relaxing!!!!!

*2025-01-11, version 2.2*

I am playing this game for years now. Is relaxing, I use my brain and is beautiful in general. Recommended.

### 5/5 — It’s still the one

*2024-01-25*

I think I first played this about ten years ago. It’s still fun. Two measly dollars for hours of relaxing gameplay with no ads and no in app purchases. This game is the unattainable dream made reality.

### 5/5 — All of the Path Pix Games are Amazing!

*2023-09-13*

Years ago I had a few of the Path Pix games on my iPod and I absolutely loved them! But then my phone replaced the iPod, I downloaded new games, and kinda forgot about Path Pix. Recently I wanted to get some puzzle games and I remembered Path Pix. I tried looking it up but couldn’t think of the name. I accidentally added Flow Free instead and quickly realized that wasn’t it. All I could remember was that it was a fun connecting puzzle that made a picture when each level was completed and it included a creative quote. I then realized that I still had the iPod that it was on so I dug it out and plugged it in to charge. Once it was charged enough I opened to the games and there it was….PATH PIX! I went right to the app store and downloaded this one onto my phone and it’s just as great as I remembered it being! I also saw on the app store that there are over 20 different Path Pix games now; Art, Year, Brain, Zen, Joy, Max, Alice, Boo, Oz, Wild, etc. I am super excited and plan on eventually buying them all!

### 1/5 — 起動出来なくなった

*2021-03-12, version 2.2*

iOSを最新にアップデートすると起動出来なくなりましたね。これとPathPix Proが起動しません。大好きなアプリなのでアップデートを切望します。

### 5/5 — Easier Puzzles

*2020-06-02*

I’d love to see bundles of puzzles that have a max of 8-9 long strings. I appreciate on one level that the puzzles get harder and harder. But sometimes I’m not into doing hard puzzles. I like to do easy puzzles. Wish there were more options for easier puzzles.

### 5/5 — コレは好きだわーーーー

*2019-10-26, version 2.2*

コレもまた iPhoneを手に入れてから直ぐにサルゲッチュ したゲームだなぁ。。
元々はパズル🧩とか 超がつくほど苦手で 出来れば避けてきた 笑っ のだが、、、元は音楽やる為にまだまだ黎明期の8bitなPCを手に入れたのだが
細かい音符「例えば16部音符の三連符」を演奏するとき そこだけモタルんだ 笑っ 今では笑い話だが 打ち込みの仕事をやるぞーと息巻いてたスタート時点で蹴つまずいた 笑っ で そのPCはめでたくゲーム機にと成り下がり？ましたとさ 笑っ
で コンピューターゲームの中で パズルゲームやってて あ これこの画面の中でしか出来ねえんだなと 気が付いて。。少しずつパズルの山🧩へ近づいては また麓へ戻されるを繰り返していた矢先 iPhone4の登場です^ - ^
他の誰でも知ってそうなゲームを何個かと一緒に コレの無料のLite版を入れてたんだ。。
で、何日かかけて 朝の通勤時にやってみたワケ。。これはもしかして 新らしくは無いのかも知れないが 楽しいなと。。それでアプデ アプデしていくと ユニバーサル版になり そう iPadでも出来る様になってさ。。ソファーとベッドにはタブレット アーム スタンドを設置したので たまにはカミさんとふたりでiPadゲームに勤しんでる。。また 何か考え事しながら💭💭

### 5/5 — What a puzzle app should be

*2018-11-02*

Fun, challenging, ad-free, help when you need it, and some great quotes when you solve!  It’s my new favorite.

### 5/5 — Thumbs up

*2018-10-28*

Fun puzzles. Well-made app. Highly recommend!
