I'm always looking for great puzzle games. Maybe it's just me, but I was totally unaware of this award winning puzzle game until I eventually dug deep and long enough to come across it years after its release. It got some attention and respect in Germany but it's been under the radar in the US. It's the perfect type of puzzle game for mobile devices. The levels can get fairly challenging, but in a way that makes them rewarding to beat. Check it out. **Developer response:** Oh boy, what a review. Thank you, that means a lot to me. ### 5/5 — An Underplayed Puzzle Gem *2023-08-15* This is an elegant puzzle game that doesn't get the attention it deserves.

Thank you, that means a lot to me. ### 5/5 — My type of puzzle game *2023-03-06* I love this game! ### 4/5 — Прекрасно… *2022-11-28* Все здорово, но мелковато…. ### 4/5 — LOVE THIS GAME *2022-11-16, version 2.0.1* It’s great for my anxiety and’s it’s the first time I ever played a game like this. Just wish there was an undo button. And can someone please give me a hint for level 78 before I delete? Been stuck for weeks. 😂😂🏆 ### 5/5 — Great game! *2022-10-29, version 2.0.1* Never write reviews but I’m enjoying this so much! Totally worth $2.99 - just sorry it took me so long to find this. Similar but better than the old Bloxorz game. Just easy enough to keep you going, and just hard enough to make it very satisfying when you find the solution. ### 5/5 — Sehr gut! *2022-10-04* Sehr schöne Knobelei für zwischendurch! Vielen Dank dafür!!! ### 4/5 — Good game but… *2022-09-08* I loved the game, it’s fun and relaxing. The only issue is that I couldn’t find where to buy the full version…. ### 5/5 — Old School Edge *2022-07-29* Edge was such a fun game! One of the first from many years ago. This, obviously, reminiscent of that. Only if the cube disappeared into a puff of smoke after the level was conquered!!? What a great shout out to Mobi?? This is very fun nonetheless. Worth it. Well done. ### 4/5 — Pretty good game but… *2022-07-07* … Please include an undo button. I am much more likely to continue with the game if I don’t have to start all over again. Otherwise a lot of fun ### 5/5 — Try It! *2022-06-07* If enjoy puzzles you will enjoy this game. There are 80 levels that will keep you thinking. ### 5/5 — Ganz nett *2022-02-24* Schöner mix aus Super Mario und Rubik‘s und irgendwie doch was ganz eigenes es spielt sich allerdings alles nur auf einer Ebene ab ansonsten aber so ziemlich gelungen es ist abwechslungsreich und benötigt trotz 3D kaum Rechenleistung wenn es noch ein paar Level mehr wären wärs perfekt. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Good until it wasn’t *2025-08-15* I like the game and purchased the full game. Now it will not let me access the game I paid for or reinstall. I asked the developer about the issue but they didn’t bother to respond. ### 2/5 — Jeu bloqué malgré achat *2023-12-01* J’ai acheté le jeux complet mais il m’est impossible de continuer après le niveau 30… C’est dommage car c’est un chouette jeux J’ai fait un mail au concepteur… Pas de réponse Merci de votre retour ### 2/5 — Original, interesting, not fun *2022-05-13* This game should be a lot more fun than it turns out to be. Quite tedious and not enjoyable. Wanted to like it more, sorry, can’t explain why its not meeting expectations. ### 2/5 — Irritating controls *2019-02-11, version 1.4.0* Unable to move the cube just one square at a time. Consistently overshoots despite small swipes. No way to adjust sensitivity - or if there is, I couldn’t find it. Frustrating. ### 3/5 — Memory game *2022-05-15* Sorry but it’s not a puzzle game, it’s a memory game ### 3/5 — Interesting concept but awful gameplay mechanics *2018-04-30* This game seems to be the bad result of what happens when you don’t program something natively. I am very disappointed in the reviewers who said there was no lag and the gameplay was smooth. This couldn’t be further from reality. I challenge someone to compare how unresponsive the cube movement is in the game as opposed to the absolutely buttery fluidity of something like Monument Valley. I am constantly having to swipe in the same direction multiple times to move one space in this game and I am running this on the absolute top of the line (at the time of writing this review in April 2018) iPhone X! I would love to play Lee of this game but instead of being fun and relaxing, it is frustrating. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. I am sorry that you have had such bad experiences. If you like, feel free to send me an email and explain in more detail, what bothers you about the controls, because I hear this problem for the first time. That would help me. Thanks. ### 4/5 — Kauf nicht mehr möglich? *2026-01-12* Freeware läuft super, leider nicht mehr zu kaufen ### 4/5 — Love this game, but... *2024-01-23* I absolutely love this game: I like the minimalist look, the puzzle are challenging but not impossible, there's no racing against time. All in all, an engaging and relaxing puzzle. I only have a couple of problems with it: 1. There is no landscape mode (I have an iPad 8 running the latest iOS). 2. When I wanted to restart from scratch (using the trashcan), it not only wiped my progress (which was expected and desired), but forgot that I had bought the full version, which is very annoying, and a potential major problem in the future if for some reason the game is no longer available in the App Store (I keep my iPads a long time). This NEEDS to be fixed. Additional levels would be great too (I'd be willing to pay a reasonnable fee for this). Thank you for this game, and for not collecting personnal information with it. ### 4/5 — Enjoyable, but… *2023-09-03, version 2.1.1* I enjoyed the first 20 levels so paid to unlock the full game. Got a ‘successful’ message but the subsequent levels remain locked. There doesn’t seem to be any way to contact support, either from within the game or via the developer’s website. Frustrating :-/ UPDATED Thanks for the response. That wasn’t clear in the game but am enjoying the progression now. ### 4/5 — Great game but… *2023-08-21, version 2.1.1* Really nice game, so much so that I purchased the additional levels. The problem is that the levels beyond 20 remain locked. Very frustrating. Also, there is no way of contacting the developer for support. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Für Tüftler *2025-05-30* Richtig schön ausgeklügelte Level, die mit der Zeit schwerer werden. Schade: Drei Sterne gibt’s auch schon, bevor man die Lösung mit dem geringsten Schritten gefunden hat. Wunderbar: Keine Werbung, aber ich habe mir auch ohne Zögern alle Level gekauft. Klare Empfehlung zum Kauf! ### 5/5 — Хорошо но…. *2025-01-19* Почему так мало??? почему нельзя было сделать побольше бесплатных уровней! (но хотя бы можно было из пластилина сделать чтобы построить уровень из пластилина и выполнить его самостоятельно) ### 5/5 — Nice game but why it is not going to next level *2025-01-07* Game Paused cannot go ahead of level 30 even though it is cleared please resolve ### 5/5 — Geniale Reduktion *2024-08-04* Dieses Spiel mag ich noch lieber als seinen Nachfolger QB Cube’s Quest wegen der optischen Reduktion und der zurückhaltenden Farben. Ich nutze es auch oft, um mich zu fokussieren. Dabei ist es nicht wichtig, ob ich am selben Zag noch auf die Lösung komme. Auch das langsame Tempo aller Bewegungen is sehr angenehm. Da die Wischgesten manchmal ungenau sind und aus Versehen falsch laufen, wäre ein Undo-Button echt super gewesen. Aber das hindert mich nicht, die letzten 30 Level auch noch zu spielen. **Developer response:** Vielen lieben Dank für dein Feedback! Sowas zu lesen macht mich sehr glücklich ☺️ ### 5/5 — Real puzzle! *2024-07-20* This game is 10 Stars!!!! Cool, relaxing and sometimes a real challenge! Design and invention are some of its nice features! I recommend it! 👏 **Developer response:** Thank you very much! 🙂 ### 5/5 — Wanderfull *2024-03-09* Genius ### 5/5 — min is max *2024-02-29* minimal design, maximum fun, this is a little jewel **Developer response:** Thank you 🥰 ### 5/5 — Excellent Puzzle Game *2023-12-06* I played this game after beating its sequel, which was graphically far superior, but this one still holds up beautifully and is equally as enjoyable and satisfying. 10/10 recommend to everyone. I do have one remark that I hope the developer sees, and in he meantime others can take this as a warning: After fully beating the game, all stars and all challenge levels, I went to the settings and deleted my progress so that I could do it all again (the game is that enjoyable). I once again beat the core game with all stars, and unlocked the challenge levels - but the challenge levels no longer work. When I attempt to start them, it briefly shows the “by Stephen Gobel” screen and then returns to the challenge “start” screen. It appears deleting your progress causes a glitch that prevents the challenge levels from working. I hope the developer sees this and fixes the problem, but in the meantime, anyone who wants to replay the game should simply do so without resetting their progress. ### 5/5 — Can’t progress *2023-12-03* Played the free games, bought the game as I enjoyed it and now it won’t progress past level 30 - played that several times and even deleted it and reinstalled but it stops at #30. The next window shows level 63 and up with no #31 to #62. Thanks. Great game! But would like to keep going! **Developer response:** Hey, thanks for your feedback. Could you send me a mail at support@20edges.com with some screenshots of this. Hopefully I can figure out what’s going on here. ### 5/5 — Excellent game! *2023-10-11* I really enjoyed this game - very much worth the price to unlock the full game. Desperate for more levels! **Developer response:** Thanks! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
