### 3/5 — Completed in less than 24 hours...

*2019-01-13*

I downloaded this game as a new puzzle to try, encouraged by reviews about how it was a challenging strategy game. But now I have completed all 32 levels in less than 24 hours. There were a few levels that tripped me up for a short time, but was able to figure out fairly quickly. An interesting idea but it does get repetitive after awhile. The in-app ads are short, which is nice.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2018-07-27*

I enjoyed playing this, got over 200k in endless and it was very fun. Get the game :)

### 4/5 — Fun puzzler, but...

*2017-07-01*

Really neat game, but I wish I could go back and redo levels I completed, that I wasn't satisfied with the move count

**Developer response:** You can go back to replay levels by tapping the level text at the top of the screen. Thanks for playing Sembl.

### 5/5 — Great Game.

*2017-02-22*

This is fun and challenging. It's clearly a well thought out game and I hope there's a future option for additional levels. 

The only thing missing is a way to keep track of levels you finish under par. But still a 5 star game.

**Developer response:** You can review previously completed levels, and replay levels, by tapping the level indicator text at the top of the screen. Thanks for playing Sembl.

### 4/5 — Undo button?

*2017-01-10*

Good game but there's no undo button which can get very frustrating when you're 17 steps in and have to restart because you misplace something.

### 3/5 — Fun at first

*2017-01-06*

This game is fun at first but progresses very slowly. As far a puzzle games go it feels like this game doesn't trust you with new concepts and needs to introduce them very slowly. It gets boring after you see essentially the same puzzle the 6th time in a row

### 5/5 — Like it

*2016-12-20*

Good puzzler. The challenge mode is especially fun.

### 5/5 — In the zone

*2016-12-15*

I can just zone out while playing. The sound is great.

### 5/5 — So cool

*2016-12-14*

I love this game!! I like the pressure of the challenge mode.
My kids are enjoying it to.

It is addicting.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2016-12-14*

This is a great puzzler!

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2016-12-04

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

It's amazing to see so many Journey players complete all 32 levels!

If you're stuck, this update clears up some issues:
- Fixed puzzle matching issues in levels 19+ that stopped progress (related to multiple paint masks being used)

Audio:
If you like listening to podcasts, or your own music, or nothing at all while playing, you can turn the game audio off in the settings
- Fixed audio on/off in settings so you can turn audio off before creating a user

Thanks for playing!
Please consider leaving an App Store review if you enjoy Sembl.

### 1.0.1 — 2016-11-03

We are floored by all of the SEMBLERS on the Game Center Leaderboards. You are putting up some ridiculous scores!

SEMBL just got better for Challenge and Journey players:
- Added on demand tutorial
- Adjusted the stars pattern mask to make it easier to see (clears issues in Level 19+)
- Fixed problem with triangle punches that made Level 31 puzzles extremely hard to solve
- Fixed iOS 9.1 bug where target design would not appear with cut or punch tools

Gameplay tip - Did you know that you can adjust the size of the target design, and your puzzle, so that you can zoom in and compare the two? That’s what those two little arrows on either side of the dividing line are for - it's a big help!

Thanks for playing!
Please keep sending us feedback and suggestions so that we can make SEMBL even better.
