### 3/5 — Fun puzzle

*2015-10-08, version 1.3*

Updated.....it seems my last review had an error. It's a little unclear but it's not $.99 to unlock the full version. It's $.99 to unlock each additional set of levels yet it doesn't say how many. So technically you could be spending $100.00 depending how many levels there are. 

I really wish there was something that showed exactly what you're paying for. 

It's a fun game with puzzles and also a collecting element. 

Before trying to solve a puzzle though, definitely go through the tutorial as it is a little confusing at first. 

The reason for only 4/5 stars is due to the fact that no where does it show how much it is to unlock the full version. Even when you click on the lock it wants your password before it will even give you an amount. This feels a little sneaky and not up front at all. The only place I can see the actual price is at the very bottom of the description page. 

The full price version is very reasonable at $.99. If you like puzzles and collecting you'll like this one.

### 5/5 — good, simple puzzles, gorgeous icons, and fun

*2014-08-01, version 1*

when i first looked the game icon I thought it was a icon guessing/quiz game but actually it's not and it has brought me more fun than I expected. I honestly like this game a lot, paving the way for unlocking the icon by the right piece of colors is really fun. My only gripe is that there are not enough icons for me ... hope to see a few more hundreds added in next update.

### 5/5 — can't be any better

*2014-07-30, version 1*

this is an excellent game, easy & fancy enough to keep me entertained for a couple minutes every day. The game is even very challenging when setting the alert for wrong placements off. Just like banging my head to the wall of colors lol. Again, this is an excellent piece of game.

### 5/5 — new & creative game

*2014-07-30, version 1*

I like new games, especially those are small and creative. Thus I'm very happy to have found Pingtu - the newly added to my favourite game collection. The puzzles are fun and a bit hard, but they are absolutely not enough to describe it. I'd recommend everyone to try it out! 
It's truly original & inspiring. 5/5 stars.

### 5/5 — beautiful game

*2014-07-28, version 1*

love the concept of this *pixel* game, you gradually discover the icon by placing the each pixel at a time by its colors pattern. And the game comes harder over the levels with so many lovely icons. What a beautiful game.

### 5/5 — the puzzles look challenging at first

*2014-07-27, version 1*

but it turns out to be fun and doable as soon as you realize the rule of symmetric. And such, I'm so absorbed in exploring more adorable icons. In fact, it's so hard nor too easy to get bored. The game is just right. Simply said, I love it!
