I really enjoy playing it and look forward to playing more. ### 4/5 — Rating *2021-02-19* Good game I don’t do this much so it must be a good game would have been all 5 stars but the level sequence is annoying. ### 5/5 — Addictive and challenging *2019-03-11, version 1.0.2* Great fun. Brilliant design. Thanks guys. ### 5/5 — Conspicuous *2018-08-28, version 1.0.2* Relaxing and Challenging at the same time. ### 5/5 — Mostly love it *2018-05-26* It took a few levels to really get the hang of it, but then I was hooked. I totally loved all the Quell games, and I was looking for something like that. This is almost as good. I paid for the extra levels, because it’s important that the people who write the games make some money (or else they wouldn’t bother). There are a couple of minor things that annoy me a bit about this one. I hate the way you pick the next level. You have to keep searching for it in this big spider web. Stop wasting my time, and just give me the next level! Also, in Quell, the levels got noticeably harder as you went on, often requiring 30 or more moves. Not true here. Even above level 100, some levels are insanely simple. Five or six almost random swipes and the level is done. Come on! The fun is in trying to figure it out. Give me something hard that takes 30 moves and an hour to figure out how to do it perfectly. Most levels take fewer than 10 moves, even above level 100. Quell kept adding new little features as you advanced. I haven’t even that here. Anyway, don’t get me wrong. I do like the game, and you should pay so they make some money. And it’s the closest thing to Quell that I have found. So in spite of my minor gripes, I definitely do recommend the game. So, play, pay, and have fun. ### 5/5 — Beautifully addictive *2017-03-06, version 1.0.2* Once you crack the language of this app, you won't put it down. It's simple, addictive, beautiful and satisfying! ### 5/5 — Addictive Light Puzzle *2016-12-15, version 1.0.2* A lovely aesthetic and an engaging game based around light. When you solve each puzzle in the minimum number of steps you get a special reward! ### 5/5 — Love it ! *2016-03-14, version 1.0.2* Beautiful , challenging and addictive! More please! ### 4/5 — izzy *2015-11-05* I really like the way; it makes you think! ### 5/5 — The best puzzle game on the app store *2015-10-28, version 1.0.2* Addictively fun. Can't stop playing it.
