## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I loved this game until I didn’t.

*2026-08-12*

This is a grit game and I loved playing it until I reached about level 250. Then it started presenting the same game repeatedly, and finally gave me a layout with 6 contiguous mystery groups, no size or shape given. There are hundreds of possible combinations and working through them could take hours. I tried a few times to see if I’d get lucky, then deleted the game. No thanks, guess I topped out. Also, it’s really annoying to have to close and open the app to start each game due to the fact that the ads , once started, literally do not stop, ever.

### 1/5 — Auto validation kills the fun

*2026-07-02*

Setting the block correctly based on the rules but not correctly based on the puzzle makes you sit there and try each block to get it right instead of needing to use logic based on the other blocks. Destroys the point of the game.

### 2/5 — Severance

*2026-07-16*

Pretty sure it was brainwashing me somehow or I’m going to get a call from Lumin headquarters… too easy, too addictive… see you on the inside

### 3/5 — Still easy after 500 levels

*2026-08-12*

I got to level 501. It’s a time sink when waiting to do something, but the levels don’t change much and the hard levels aren’t that hard, if not easy

### 3/5 — What have you done?

*2026-07-23, version 1.2.7*

I was really enjoying this game until the latest update. Now it’s just frustrating. The music is ok though the haptics are a little annoying but can be turned off. The animations at the end of the levels are cute if a little childish as is the font used for the numbers now. Annoyed because I paid for this game since I was enjoying it so much. It’s irritating now. You know what they say… if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

### 3/5 — Too easy

*2026-07-15*

It started off slightly challenging, but after 250 levels the difficulty hasn’t changed, levels seem to repeat, and new updates have made it even easier. They just tell you if you did it wrong instead of forcing you to learn. It keeps telling me I’m like faster than 90% of people but that doesn’t mean much when there’s no difficulty progression.

### 3/5 — Ads freeze

*2026-07-14*

Like the game, but the “X” to finish ads for the developer, Voodoo, don’t release to the next screen. I go on to something else and come back, but…

### 3/5 — Shikoku

### 5/5 — Focus

*2026-07-12*

Keep your eyes on the number and focus on the squares very nice game. It keeps you thinking.

### 5/5 — Stunning

*2026-07-11, version 1.2.6*

Addictive and clever

### 5/5 — It helps you get your mind off stiff if your having a bad day

*2026-07-06*

It helps you get your mind off stiff if you’re having a bad day.(etc)
