It is ridiculous....

It is ridiculous how much I like this game and how much time I spend playing it. Highly recommend.

I love this game, but intermittent freeze up of the tiles on the board….very irritating as you loose your set-up of the blue puzzle pieces. I have been playing this game everyday since I purchased, but this little problem is driving me nuts. Otherwise this is a GREAT game!

Challenging, Fun, Great Value

I prefer games that make you think and involve strategy, not games for which you need razor sharp reflexes, or those with ads and extra payments. This $4.99 game is perfect! You can play it at a leisurely place, and you can keep learning as your scores get higher.

I seem to have hit a plateau at a score of about 2500 to 3000. My current situation is that I keep winding up with four or five “seniors” that I cannot connect in an adjacent group of three. This clogs the board. However, I still greatly enjoy the game and trying out new strategies.

I once got a score of 9000 and thought I had mastered an effective technique, but I never achieved that high a score again and I’m not sure how I did. It may have been the luck of the draw or I may have figured out a good strategy that I can’t remember or repeat. I would appreciate it if anyone can give me some hints or point me to a strategy guide. Thanks! Bob G

I'm glad you're enjoying the game! Here is a strategy thread I posted to Twitter for the original Playdate version of the game, but it applies to the iOS version as well. https://twitter.com/ScenicSoftware/status/1576777203479564288

You’re basic match three

I’ll give us a four star rating, despite it only being good on a phone and not an iPad as much and being just a basic match three with a small twist because it is not a paper plate or add game which I strongly support. Tired of those kind of games and regardless of this game I would’ve gotten five stars if I just had a little bit more to it.

What mobile games should be.

This game is fantastic.

It’s incredibly fun and addictive and is well worth the $5. There are no ads, no loading, no annoying upsells. The only time I’ve been confused was when I didn’t see a save button so I could come back to a game… and then I realized that EVERYTHING IS JUST SAVES AUTOMATICALLY, like mobile apps used to do.

This game will be a classic. We’ll done.
