Excellent Brain Stimulator Exercise
Great app for stimulating the Brian with some mental exercises that provides good entertainment.
Found this little gem as an excellent activity for my train commutes to work.
Would highly recommend this app considering how much effort and time has been spent developing this. Really shows the amount of consideration given to this.
Probs to the developer!

Logic puzzle bliss
Blissful absorption solving the free puzzles for a couple of hours.
Really enjoyable and quick to learn game!
This is quite a discovery! It seems really simple at first - I was thinking ever mind the tutorial - but glad I worked through that. The game is great - quick to navigate and somehow you keep wanting to solve one more puzzle! It’s different from other puzzle games I’ve seen - worth a try!!!
Soliduku!
Played the game earlier, it’s pretty good! It’s a bit like Suduko in the way that cards can only slot in certain places on a grid and the clues below are your starting numbers.
The instructions were very clear and just the right content. Could you make the playing area larger perhaps, to make it harder as you advance? I didn’t try the more diff options. Maybe include a timing option to see who can compete the most solutions in the quickest time. Quite like the background music too! All in all, a fun game to play.

Intuitive twist to classic Solitaire
Easy to follow tutorial got me started straight away. Nice responsive interface. Fun games with different levels to test logic skills. Does get more challenging!! A new stimulating favourite!
Fun and stimulating logic game!
The simple intro enabled us to pick up and play immediately. It was entertaining for both me and my 7year old. She loved it, as the logic building blocks help with mental reasoning, and gives a sense of accomplishment from each puzzle solved. It’s also a good introduction to fun card games in the future!

Fun brain teaser
Seen nothing quite like this before! Really tricky, but ideal for a short break or commute. Most puzzles are either trivial or require a good chunk of free time. This is the perfect compromise and is highly recommended.
Not enough levels to justify purchasing yet, but there is the possibility for great potential
The game itself is fairly interesting, a not-so-uniquely-different take on solitaire, but it has the potential of becoming something better.
There are not many levels available, even when purchasing the extensions of the five included packs, 72+ levels it would seem. Although with some puzzle games 72+ levels would be more than enough based on the levels of difficulty (Sequence!), and times to solve those levels, my issue with this game is that even the extreme levels are just too simple. I get that there is no way to please everyone, some complain that a puzzle is too difficult, others complain they are too simple. The developers of the Flow series have been able to create a happy balance in their puzzle packs.
As with many developers of puzzle apps today, using “levels of difficulty” to describe the included packs, the first pack, beginners pack, is far too simple and is there to basically explain the game, so keep in mind that this is a throw-away pack of 12 free puzzles, then another 8, if making the in-app-purchase.
The developer states that all future puzzles and updates are included with the one-time purchase, which I feel is fair and a definite pro to consider purchasing. My issue is, if one takes into account games like the Flow series, which include hundreds of great puzzle packs for free, and a steady supply of updated packs, the Flow series gives incredible first impressions to the puzzler looking for the constant enjoyment of the game. Added to that, the daily puzzles in varying difficulties, I believe that is a great template for all future developers of puzzles.
Will puzzles be updated weekly, monthly, half-yearly? There are so few packs included, with each pack being 20 or less quick puzzles, since this is so new, there is just no way to yet know if it is worth paying for future packs.
For now I give three stars, and hope the potential grows so I can update to a solid five stars.
As a final note, I do believe the developer is on to something finally quirky and interesting enough to be different than the trend to copy what everyone else is doing, so I plan on keeping this game on my phone to see what happens in the future. If the developers continue to build this bigger it will be my pleasure to purchase all future updates. I hope they do not disappoint.
And an additional final note. There are many of us MENSA members who enjoy using our phones for solving puzzles (and a game or ten of chess and backgammon). Since you already separate the levels of difficulty into packs, don’t be afraid to create a pack of diabolical levels. There’s something to be said about throwing one’s phone out of frustration, then rushing to pick it up and try one more time to solve that level.

Response from developer
Thanks for the really detailed review and nice feedback. I’m glad you like the game and can see some potential. Every puzzle is designed by hand and it takes a long while to get each one with a unique solution and of an appropriate difficulty. My hope is that if there is enough take up it will be worthwhile adding lots more puzzles... that’s my definite intention! Just need a few more purchases to show that the game has legs. It’s also on my list to create a puzzle-a-day feature so watch this space!
Perfect train brain game
Great game to play on the train on the commute - nice challenge ! Enjoy it !
