## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 4/5 — Great game, but ads are annoying

*2016-10-10*

Great game, but the ads come up randomly and are obnoxious when in the middle of a round. If they had an ad-free version for $2, then I would definitely pay it. Other than the times the ads pop up: a great puzzle game

### 4/5 — very enjoyable

*2015-02-01*

I really enjoy the puzzles and this is well worth downloading. You can try it for free and unlocking the ads is quite inexpensive. I especially appreciate the fact that you get a seemingly infinite set of puzzles (I see the appeal of hand-crafted puzzles, but these auto-generated puzzles are quite enjoyable and you will never run out). None of this “you can’t play the next level until you unlock the last one” nonsense.

The user interface is fairly clean and very simple, though it could use a bit of polish:
- There is no feedback when a number’s constraints have been satisfied. I wish the appearance of the number changed.
- You cannot drag to draw a line of dots
- The puzzle is hidden when you solve it. I like to be able to admire my work.
- The option to restore purchases is buried in Preferences, and is NOT available from the “remove ads” panel. I was pretty upset when I was asked to pay $1.99 again, before I discovered this.

Also note that the difficulty level is rather variable. I find some hard puzzles fairly easy and others nearly impossible to do without guessing, but I generally enjoy the medium difficulty puzzles.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2015-02-15*

Nice

### 5/5 — Fun and challenging

*2015-02-12*

Puzzles take only a couple of minutes to solve once you get the hang of it. Fun game!

### 5/5 — Fun

*2015-01-30*

I enjoy sudoku and logic puzzles, so I like this. Can't stop sneaking in a game whenever i'm bored.

### 5/5 — Awesome Logic Game

*2015-01-25*

Very unique and fun logic game. Highly recommend checking it out if you like puzzles.

### 5/5 — great logic puzzler

*2015-01-23*

the multicolor means nothing. instead of filling in blocks to make a picture, you are trying to make sure all of the numbers have the correct amount of noncolored blocks left right up and down AND none of the colored tiles are left right up or down of another.

try it, hate it, love it!

### 5/5 — Great logic game

*2015-01-22*

I didn't quite understand the rules from the instructions or the tutorial, so I looked them up online.  Once I figured out that the color of the cell has no meaning (it's simply colored or not) it made a lot more sense. If you like logic puzzles, you'll probably like this.
