Simple and surprisingly fun!
I rarely do reviews that are this glowing but I have genuinely completely enjoyed playing this game. The lack of ads for one, but the lack of anything overly stimulating or distracting is so refreshing. The game is a great challenge as well - my only gripe is when you do complete all the levels there’s no recognition and you just go back to the start again. But otherwise it’s a brilliant little brain teaser.

All my progress was lost
I hadn't played for a couple of weeks and when I launched the app today, I was back at the start. Looking in the app store it shows that it was updated a week ago and, with that, all of my progress was wiped clean. Not cool. Shame on you for this gross oversight.
Challenging yet relaxing, perfect little game
I got this game as part of a bundle with this developer’s other apps I wanted, and it’s really rather brilliant!
I love a game that makes you think, and I particularly love a game that makes your brain work in new ways - as I played I learned the logic behind it, and it felt genuinely exciting to find myself solve the games more efficiently as they got harder.
It’s impressive how the difficulty curve ramps up, even though the level design on the face of it looks basically identical throughout.
As it progresses, you’ll find yourself repeatedly making solutions that do all but one number, and often find that actually the final layout is completely different. Fiendish! It makes finally solving it a real accomplishment.
The soundtrack and effects are really quite blissful, and overall it became a real time sink.
110 levels was just the right amount, I don’t actually think this game could be made any better. It’s very smart, and totally worth getting.

Amazingly pleasant and clever
Beautiful game. Simple pleasant. Difficult. If you can’t figure out the “rules” you are a nincompoop, don’t leave reviews of your own cluelessness.
Nice merge of minesweeper and plumbing-flow puzzles
Devise a route from the source to the specified endpoints, respecting constraints. Very satisfying.
Visually appealing.

Makes you think!
Fells like an active engagement puzzle rather than some game designed to make you buy crap to actually make progress. IMHO if you dislike this game because of its “unclear” rules then you must hate a challenge. I feel like it teaches how to learn how to play rather than outright teaching how to play, which builds intuition you’ll need the farther the game progresses!

Good game
It's a good game
Radiant Soundtrack!
For a dev team that seems to focus on utility rather than games, this was a pleasant surprise! The soundtrack is brilliant, and the GUI is intuitive as well as pretty. I’m sad to say I am 40 levels or so in, and therefore running out of game to play pretty quickly. I am a huge fan of apps that follow the “buy it once and you own it” model. I would have easily paid twice the asking price for this app if there were more levels, or perhaps even thrice if there was some indication that there was going to be ongoing level development.

Engaging, Ideal Puzzler
Charming, elegant puzzles that you can pick up for a few moments at a time. Challenging enough that you won’t breeze through but not so difficult that you’ll lose sleep.
Really great puzzle game
Enjoyed very much! Was bummed when I completed the master rank and was no more :(. Need more to solve!!! It took me several weeks on and off to accomplish the very last one though. I was stuck on number eight. Anyway fun to figure out for sure!
Fun Puzzle Game That Works Differently Than Expected
Most games today start off with a bunch of annoying prompts telling you how to play. This one had a little text to guide you in the first level, but it wasn’t enough to not let you figure out how the game works on your own. It reminds me of playing old games growing up where you put the cartridge in, turn it on, and then you’re just there in the game and you have no clue what any of the sprites are supposed to be or what kinds of puzzles might be in the game. All you know is that you want to beat the game.
Initially I thought that the numbers corresponded to each square, and it was saying how many paths that square needed to the source block. Then I thought it was saying how many lines around the outside of the filled blocks touched that corner. It wasn’t until around Level 2, puzzle 3-ish that I realized how it really worked (I won’t spoil it here).
I kind of accidentally stumbled into playing this game without reading anything about what it was. I downloaded one of Open Planet’s other apps, and saw their bundle being shown next to it. The other app in the bundle (not this one or the one I had originally bought) looked like something I’d use, so I bought the bundle. Then today, I saw this app that was also included on my home screen so I tapped on it, and it was a fun little mystery to solve. I tapped on it, and then I saw Game Center open, so I knew it was a game, and then I started trying to figure out what the numbers really meant, which kept me interested until the puzzles got hard enough to be interesting in and of themselves.

Love the gameplay, but it keeps erasing my progress!
I really like the game, but I can’t keep playing as it’s erased my progress entirely twice now. Would love to see this fixed!
Great fun... Just don’t get caught out like I did
Fun, easy to pick up brain teaser — kind of like a 21st-century version of Minesweeper.
My only complaint is that the app should respect the iPhone’s mute switch, and not play music on startup if the phone is on silent (although you can mute it easily once the game starts).
This way I can play it in boring meetings without getting caught — again! 😬

One of the best games I've tried in a long time.
Up there with folt and Catan (my gold standards). Beautiful elegant game, good strategy, but no feeling of rush- yet very challenging- doesn't stres you out - a relaxing way to work the brain. Well done- well thought-out. I try many games and usually tire of them after a short while. I hope there are lots of levels

Great game with puzzles
There is a tutorial mode to teach you the basics of the game -- put down connection squares that touch the number shown on the paper. Only n squares can surround the number. So complex layouts can be tricky and fun.
Easy to come in and start playing and come back later for more.

There is no instructions. No bueno guys
Addictive!
I used to be a massive Minesweeper fan, played that for hours on end, and this game appeals to me for the same reasons - a new twist on a similar idea. Addictive, challenging, and it's a good thing the soundtrack is relaxing otherwise it could get a little frustrating at times! But I think it's sharpening up my thinking skills! :)

Hidden gem!
Simple, fun, addictive puzzle game!
Relaxing puzzler
Decent simple puzzler. Each puzzle takes only a short time, so you can easily pick it up for a quickie. Not wholly addictive, but worth keeping around for those down minutes when you need a short stimulating play session.
Beautifully made; addictive yet relaxing
This is quite simply one of the most beautiful puzzle games I have ever played. The design is simple, yet aesthetically pleasing, and the soundtrack is a wonderful sonic wash that perfectly compliments the gameplay.
The puzzles themselves are well pitched. The introductory rounds are small enough to lend themselves to both a studied approach or random tapping. They gradually ramp up the difficulty level, and with so many to work through, there is great value for money to be had.
Now, off to the iTunes music store to buy the soundtrack...
