### 5/5 — Fun, simple game

*2025-09-03*

Just double-tap to clear 2 or more of same color squares. I wish the app could be resized bigger on Mac — it’s a bit small on my big screens.

### 3/5 — Needs A Game Over Notification

*2022-11-19*

Game is fun, but it needs a notification when there aren’t any more moves.

### 4/5 — Nice game but overly simple

*2022-11-17*

You tap the same color blocks and they merge together until there’s none left. There’s an option to change the squares into shapes. Wish there was more to it though— like different levels or themes or something to make it more interesting.

### 5/5 — Very, very  simple version

*2019-12-30*

I had another version of same game for my computer years ago that I enjoyed more

### 3/5 — Great Game!

*2019-10-15*

This is a great game and I’m addicted to it. But I agree it needs an undelete feature. I would also like statistics and the ability to select the play level.

### 1/5 — Can’t play for long

*2019-07-02*

Thought it worth a try because of positive reviews. I have already several versions of this game and have spent countless hours playing. This version is my least favourite. The visual presentation and lack of options, make it very hard on the eyes. Very difficult to apply any strategy and after a short time I started to feel ill just looking at it. Really surprised how it got positive reviews.

### 4/5 — SameGame

*2018-01-12*

Sympa mais compliqué pour les débutants

### 5/5 — Great Game!!

*2015-01-07*

I love playing this game. The App is perfect, no issues. Just easy-no hassle fun.

### 3/5 — SameGame

*2012-05-09*

Bon jeu Manque information quand le jeu est terminé

### 1/5 — IPhone Crashed rebooted by itself in the middle of play

*2012-03-03, version 2.0.5*

Wish I read reviews first
