Good but..

This is an interesting game, clever and not easy to solve. Because of that, my criticism is that the results disappear too quickly and there is no way to see the correct answer once you solve it in order to figure out how it works. It’s confusing that the positions of the numbers are not revealed but I understand that’s part of the difficulty and appeal. Still, that being said, we need the screen to either hold until dismissed once the puzzle is solved or the ability to go back and see what the correct answer was.

Not working

I love this game. The last 3 days it has been returning answers that are not possible. Something somewhere in the app is broken. Please, please fix it. Thank you for creating this app.

Brain training

Fun game! Would be better if you could increase levels of difficulty (i.e. numbers can repeat, five spaces, six spaces, seven, use of zero)

Nice game

Love it!

Hidden guesses?

In the new version all the guesses are hidden. Is that a bug?

Response from developer

Hi exarchitect! Thanks for pointing this out. Fortunately this is now fixed in version 2.5.1. Have fun!

Why you hidden numbers?

What the points???
I don’t like it anymore

Simple but fun

Ignore the other review. The game is quite winnable.

J'aime bien 👍

Ça fait passer le temps dans les transports et stimule la cervelle ;-)

EDIT : la dernière version est buggée !!!
Donc je retire une étoile...

The numbers disappeared

Update: Thank you for fixing it!

The app was just fine when code number guessed stopped displaying. Please fix.

Enjoyable time killer

Fun puzzle game, only thing is the last couple times I’ve opened the game, my guesses no longer show on the board. The pegs light up but no guess, so not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if it’s an issue with the game.

Response from developer

Thank you for your comment and impact. It is already fixed in 2.2.3.

Bello !

Mi piace molto !

Took some time....

It took me some time to figure out what exactly I was doing, but once it clicked, the game became MUCH more enjoyable.
I guess I should have read the reviews first, ad that would have saved me quite a bit of experimentation. Though.... figuring it out on my own was kind of a little achievement for myself.
=D

As for the negative reviews... I don't know what to say. I think the developer handled himself in a very restrained manner (much more than I could have). I guess I could say that not everyone is going to enjoy game they try and play... and some people have more patience for games while others just want to win-win-win everything they come across without too much thought or effort (there's Checkers fans and then there's Chess fans.... and everything in-between... not everyone is going to land on the same spot across that spectrum <shrug> - but those who don't land in the spot they envision themselves landing shouldn't fault the creator of whatever it is they're trying to play:;: that's just rude - accept that you landed where you landed and either be happy with it or strive to reach where you wanted to land).

Thank you, developer (I'm sorry, I can't remember the name and hitting 'Cancel' on my review in order to see it will delete what I've written), for making this fantastic little puzzler. Endless replay value and very enjoyable. I'm definitely gonna have to keep my eye open for games you release in the future.
=D

I like this game very much, but can you fix some things?I don’t want to lower the stars unless no response. I play this game on my iPhone & iPad. On the iPhone, I’m asking for more data and I come over to the iPad and find less data. Mind blown! I was asking to be able to see the last screen that we won on. I get on the iPad and even more data is gone! On the iphone, at least, I see what level and how long I took in seconds. I really lovevtoyhg

Ok, for those bad reviews - Come on! I have played this game 368 times and only lost 13 games and that was while learning the game. If they changed it, it would be way too easy & not worth playing. All I can say to the complainers is to stop being so lazy. Black dot means that one of your numbers is correct & in the correct spot, but they aren’t going to tell you which one. That’s part of the fun. Grey dot means that you have a correct number but in the wrong spot. I solve almost all of these within 5 to 7 tries.

What I would ask for is to show or be able to toggle back so that we can see the winning number so we can take a screenshot if we want. If the dev is willing, I have several ideas that would be easy to add for history and such.

I would not change the game play at all. I’ve tried at least 10 other similar games and I haven’t found one that even comes close to competing with this one. Thank you for this name. The only way that it could be any better is to give access to better history like seeing the final winning screen or to be able to see how many times you won it in 5 tries or 6 tries, etc.

Thank you!

Great app

Like this app a lot but a suggestion that would make me like it more would be a dark theme.

Great Game

Just like the old Mastermind. One request is to be able to go back and see the game you just finished. It instantly goes to your score, and you cannot go back to review your accomplishment.

Consigliato

Gioco semplice quanto divertente. Suggerirei di mostrare i tentativi fatti a partita persa.

good game

worth it

Want to like it

Can't see the tips so not sure what the dots mean. It comes up but then it moves down or something so I see something about colors but it's hard to read what it's saying what they mean. Can't read the tips if they're hidden.

Response from developer

Thank you for your comment and impact. Fortunately it is already fixed in 2.2.1

Good app

Nice training for your brain 🧠 💪🏻

Looking for a simple logic puzzle?

This is a fun logic puzzle. Unfortunately I am having trouble reading the in-game text. Please make the text darker so that it is legible. Thank you.
