### 1/5 — Was great, no longer works in ios18

*2025-01-28*

The other clones don’t compare, sadly, but after updating my phone to iOS 18 it launches but play never starts. Hoping the dev can update and get this excellent implementation working again. Five stars when the game worked with earlier iOS versions.

### 1/5 — Beware - doesn’t work since at least iOS 18.1

*2024-12-30*

Hi, I used to play this game all the time but since a recent update I can’t get past tue main menu.

### 5/5 — It’s gone!

*2024-11-21*

Please bring this game back. The other similar games are not nearly as good.

### 1/5 — Stopped Working!

*2024-10-23*

As soon as I updated to IOS 18.0.1, it stopped working. I tried deleting it and reinstalling.

### 3/5 — Programmed to lose

*2023-01-28*

This game has potential but has one flaw. They appear to program it to lose. You get blocks of similar numbers appear that eliminate the ability to progress. It’s not because I don’t know how to play. I’ve played other versions of this game for years and have never come across this. Deleting and moving on.

### 5/5 — A charming original idea

*2021-05-29, version 3.4.0*

I gotta say, I keep coming back to play this. 
It has puzzle mechanics I personally haven’t seen before. A minimalistic story and beautiful music tie this game up for me. It may seem crude when compared to other games, but it has charm to it. 

Give it a shot. I’d love to see more from this dev.

**Developer response:** Thank you, I appreciate it.

### 4/5 — Cool puzzle. Makes you think.

*2017-03-05, version 3.4.0*

Similar to a few different puzzles out lately. Combines aspects of each to make a fun game.

### 4/5 — Great replacement for Drop 7

*2015-02-22, version 3.2.3*

I loved the game Drop 7 until they changed it. This is a great replacement for me. A bonus is being able to see the next number coming!  My only complaint is that I can't seem to shut off the sound effects when the tiles drop and break. I can shut down the music but I want a no sound option. Then it would be a 5 star game for me

**Developer response:** Just an FYI, you can turn both music and sound effects off. Thanks for the review!

### 5/5 — One of my favorite puzzle games

*2014-08-01, version 2.2.0*

Whenever someone asks me what fun puzzle games are on iOS, I point them to Rogue Vertex. I think it’s just really well done, and the more you play - the more deep strategy you can discover. Truly, an excellent game.

### 5/5 — Awesome game!

*2014-07-16*

This is a very polished, very fun game that is quite addictive. You'll definitely enjoy it. :)
