### 5/5 — Honest opinion

*2026-10-02, version 1.24*

I normally don’t like to review games. But for this one I have to say that it is amazing. If you decide that you like the first bit of the game, then buying the rest is definitely worth it. Also it has no adverts at all and I cannot stress how hard it is to find games that you can play on the go without half a dozen adds popping up every two and a half levels. and the puzzles have a wide range of difficulties and you  never know what to expect from them. This is the part where I would start talking about the special blocks. but although I don’t play by most rules, I do play by the rule of no spoilers.
The only thing that kind of Annoys me is that the music is sometimes there, but sometimes isn’t. The reason it annoys me is because when it is on it sounds really nice. However it is off most of the time. It’s not enough to knock a star off though. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Interactive logic

*2026-06-27, version 1.19*

This is a puzzler based on simple logic and rules, but that doesn’t make it overly simple or boring. The puzzler designers set up challenges which have interesting solutions and the play action is enough to keep you working those puzzles!

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-02-14, version 1.19*

I desperately need more puzzles!

### 5/5 — A Top Game of All Time

*2025-12-28, version 1.19*

The game starts off easy but gets extremely hard. There are so many free levels that you won’t be able to do, they get so hard. Love this game, it is truly a classic.

### 5/5 — Unique Yet Comfortable Concept

*2024-04-10, version 1.19*

This is pure puzzling pleasure. The gameplay concept feels familiar but I’ve never played a puzzle game quite like it.
If you’re a fan of clever, visual, spatial puzzles, this one has a nice balance to its difficulty progression. It continues to challenge you, but doesn’t leave you frustrated and joyless.
Nicely done.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2023-09-15, version 1.19*

Challenging enough to make it interesting and enjoyable. Small cost involved and no annoying ads.

### 5/5 — The best! Occupied forever!

*2023-07-08, version 1.19*

Loved this puzzle game! Never a glitch, no crashing, really fulfilled my love of puzzle games. I love the unique and progressive animations of the blocks. And the difficulty was great!! Sad that I beat it, I’m wanting more!!!

### 5/5 — Все супер!

*2022-09-04*

Добавьте ещё уровней! Шикарная игра!

### 5/5 — GREAT FOR ALL AGES

*2022-05-07, version 1.19*

My grandmother is visually handicapped and really enjoys this game. How to complete any frame is available. My five year old just flies through the game.  We have had this on many platforms for years and never tire of the challenge of completing a level. With no burst of ads (much appreciated), makes it one of our top ten games.  Our two boys will be on different iPads, and compete to finish first on a level. Just wish there were more “games” like this.

### 5/5 — Deserve more than 7 stars

*2022-04-04*

This is excellent puzzle game. Beautiful graphics
