### 5/5 — A Truly Pretty Game

*2023-07-08, version 1.06*

Scalak is such a pretty game.  The gameplay is fun, with a simple interface and the challenge being a mix of figuring out what the puzzle itself is and how to solve it, but what really strikes me about Scalak is how pretty it is.  The satin sheen on the surfaces and the jewel nodes that glow when matched, along with the pleasant background music and light notes, make this game lovely to experience.

### 5/5 — Simple but effective

*2023-06-22, version 1.06*

I love all your games and especially this one.  My only complaint is… I need more!

### 3/5 — Will give three

*2023-02-04, version 1.06*

So game has high ratings but it's very easy which is disappointing. When you look at the puzzles, the floating pieces literally are next to the spaces they are supposed to fit into. You just drag them there and puzzle solved. Developer should have randomised piece placement and find a way to make it more challenging

### 5/5 — Super Spiel

*2023-01-12*

Ein optisch hervorragend aufbereitetes Spiel ohne Fehler und Macken! 
Leider etwas kurz. Ich war nach etwa zwei Tagen schon durch. 
Für mich persönlich war es keine wirklich große Herausforderung, aber lustig und abwechslungsreich war es dennoch. 
Bitte mehr davon! 
Klare Empfehlung.

### 5/5 — SPETTACOLARE

*2022-11-28, version 1.06*

Un rompicapo elegante e coinvolgente!!

### 4/5 — Entretenido

*2022-11-03, version 1.06*

Una vez que le coges el tranquillo avanzas rápido pero no por eso es mal juego. Me lo he acabado y me ha gustado bastante.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2022-10-19, version 1.06*

I love this game. It’s fairly challenging — which a lot of puzzle games aren’t, so I was very pleased with that. My only issue is that there aren’t more levels! But I can understand why. I imagine it’s hard to come up with new concepts for them.

Definitely recommend!

### 5/5 — Super!

*2022-10-18, version 1.06*

Świetna robota, autorze. Zwłaszcza pod kątem oprawy muzycznej i dźwiękowej. Dodaje przestrzeni do tego prostego, ale jakże ładnego obrazka. Chce więcej! :)

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2022-10-18, version 1.06*

The only disappointing part is that it had to end.

### 5/5 — Great puzzle!

*2022-10-15, version 1.06*

Veve

Working on mental rotation skills without the pressure

### 1/5 — Soporifique

*2021-10-22*

Et sans grand intérêt

### 1/5 — Fun but visually troublesome

*2019-03-10, version 1.06*

If you have epilepsy, or vision problems, this game may not be good for you.

On completion of a puzzle, the screen goes VERY bright then fades. It's similar to a strobe light, or the flash from a camera.

I have my iPad Pro screen light turned way down, 20% or so, and this bright flash is still very hard on my eyes. It's been 5 minutes since I completed a level, and I'm still seeing spots.

Not happy to have spent $2 on an app that I probably won't be able to use because of this issue.

### 1/5 — Poor use of Battery for otherwise enjoyable game :(

*2018-07-14*

I’m giving this game 1 star simply because of the significant battery drain, which I think the developers need to address. Even when set in HQ mode (go to settings in top left corner) this app drains 25% of my battery (iPhone 6s) in 5 minutes and killed my battery after playing for 20 minutes! I would like to know why and, more importantly for the app, would like to see it fixed. 

Otherwise, the game provides a great mental challenge and plays very smoothly. The graphics are calm and pleasing. The movement (rotation) of some pieces can be frustrating at first, but not overly bothersome after figuring out the “technique”. Overall, this simple game is a time-drain that is worth the $1.99. Unfortunately, is not worth the battery drain.

### 1/5 — Mal

*2018-07-07, version 1.06*

Pese a que ya se avisó en una reseña el 28 de mayo, se sigue presentando un puzzle de imposible solución que impide continuar con los siguientes.
Así se sigue cobrando por nada

### 1/5 — Yoink

*2018-07-04, version 1.06*

My app keeps crashing, not compatible with an iPhone 4.

### 1/5 — Good but had to delete

*2018-06-19, version 1.03*

It was a truly excellent game that I thoroughly enjoyed, but I’ve had to delete it. The power usage was ridiculous. Both my pad and my phone got so hot it was uncomfortable to hold. On the phone, the battery information said I’d used 55% of a charge in 12 mins on screen usage! Might just be a dodgy download, but not worth risking my equipment to test it again. Never had this before with any other app.

### 2/5 — Love this game, but fix puzzle 44,

*2022-04-01, version 1.06*

Fun & sometimes very challenging. Nothing quite like it. On the 44th puzzle, I’m stuck. I think it’s a bug, please fix.

### 2/5 — Challenging but not impossible

*2019-10-26, version 1.06*

I love this game. At first it was easy but it gets hard pretty fast. If you stick with it you’ll finally solve it.  No timers and saves your progress.

There are puzzles where a few pieces will not move. A puzzle with 5 pieces—2 blocks which need to meet to place the hooked blocks and 2 blocks with yellow lights. If I can’t move more than 2 pieces it’s impossible and I will delete. Too bad bc I really liked this game.

### 2/5 — Does not save progress

*2019-04-28, version 1.06*

Fun game except you have to start the level over if you quit the game. PITA at the more complex levels. Stupid design. Some of us have a life.

### 2/5 — Weird gap made this too frustrating

*2019-03-15, version 1.06*

When I play a touchscreen game I quite reasonably expect to be able to touch the object I want to move and move it as if it is stuck to my finger. That is how most games work. Not to the right of my finger with a weird gap so that I can’t see the shape properly. 

For some unfathomable reason in this game the shape moves off to the right hand side of my finger and I CAN’T SEE IT PROPERLY because at times it is under my finger. It is also very hard to work out where to touch the screen because of this behaviour. It means the game is frustrating and not intuitive and I had to give up. What a shame.

### 5/5 — Calming but actually challenging

*2026-04-08, version 1.06*

I didn’t expect to like this game as much as I do. It’s so simple and calming, but the puzzles actually get really clever and make you think without ever feeling stressful. I love that there’s no pressure, just a really peaceful vibe while still being challenging. Such a well made game.

### 5/5 — Yeah

*2026-03-26, version 1.06*

I feel like am a kid putting shapes in a box

### 5/5 — 楽しい

*2026-02-17*

順調に楽しめてます

### 5/5 — So calming and fun

*2026-02-02, version 1.06*

This game teases your brain but also calms it. The music is  relaxing and the game itself is just amazing

### 5/5 — OCD +++++

*2026-01-13, version 1.06*

An absolute fantastic game, itches every tingle of my brain, music and all!!!!!! 10/10 recommend.

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-11-03, version 1.06*

Good game to relax. Bonus points for making it a one-time purchase with no ads or in game purchases

### 5/5 — Peccato

*2025-10-28, version 1.06*

Molto interessante sia per ciò che riguarda l’estetica del gioco che le dinamiche, peccato per la quantità di prove che sono (per ora) relativamente poche. Per i miei gusti

### 5/5 — Incroyable

*2025-04-13*

J’aurais aimé en avoir plus

### 5/5 — Great 3D puzzles

*2025-03-02, version 1.06*

A deceptively simple game at first glance. The challenge ramps up well though and really tests your ability. Hard to put down once I got going.

### 5/5 — Génial

*2024-08-13*

Réinvente plein de jeux. Vraiment intéressant.
