### 2/5 — Great game with no option to save

*2024-12-21*

This game ranks VERY high on my list of “games to chill out with.” It’s great to pass the time while stuck in a waiting room, etc. However, when you inevitably have to put it down, your game isn’t saved, and thus progress is lost. You can’t come back and finish it later, even if you just leave the app open in the background. If it offered the ability to save progress, it would EASILY be a 5-star game. Unfortunately, this is just too big an oversight to give it more than 2 stars. I’ve lost my progress countless times simply because I had to stop to take a call or do something else. So frustrating — especially since the game is awesome in every other way.

### 4/5 — New update please

*2024-07-20, version 2.2*

This puzzle game is my favorite and highly addictive. However, due to Apples Dynamic Island a key component of the game is not fully visible: the stick figure indicating the direction of the players next move.

### 4/5 — Super Spiel!

*2024-03-19*

Suchtfaktor! Sound nervt etwas (keine Einstellungen). Mit Cloud-Sync  und Gamecenter-Anbindung 5 Sterne.

### 2/5 — Not optimized for newer iPhones

*2023-08-09, version 2.2*

I have a 13 mini and the game does not display properly on my screen. The top and bottom of the game are cut off. This game hasn’t been updated in two years so I don’t know if it’s been abandoned by the developers yet.

### 4/5 — sehr schön,....

*2023-07-01*

...aber jetzt auf dem iPhone 14 Pro "FEHLER IN DER DARSTELLUNG" ❗️ Das Strichmännchen (oben - Hinweis für nächsten Zug, senkrecht oder waagerecht) ist hinter der Kamera nicht mehr zu erkennen 😥 Vielleicht kann hier ja *BITTE* etwas nachgebessert werden.

### 4/5 — Love it, but…

*2022-09-04, version 2.2*

…there’s no way to turn off the sound effects and music. That’s my only complaint. Otherwise, I love this simple, attractive, addicting game.

### 4/5 — スマホでやる1人ボードゲームみたいな

*2019-10-12*

縦と横に切り分けて行くだけのゲームですが、案外難しいですね。
ぼくにはちょっと難しいのでアイテムとか追加してもらえると嬉しいです。

### 5/5 — Great!

*2019-03-26*

Totally addictive! It’s hard at the beginning but keep persevering and you will be rewarded with one of the best game out there!

### 5/5 — In a word...elegant.

*2018-08-24, version 2.0*

Simple rules as design disguise incredible depth and complexity.  Bravo.

### 4/5 — Amazing but

*2018-03-25*

This game is perfect.
I didn’t get how the game was great at first, but now, after some days, I’m just addict. I understand.

I should have give 5 stars.. but I really want something:

A LeAdErBoArD

I don’t know if I’m the only one who want this, but it’s very easy to add, it doesn’t take place, and the game will not be less good with it.

I love this game but the score is only a personal thing here. 
I really want to see and compare my scores with others great players in order to give my best to be ranked as high as possible !

Because actually, I don’t really know what is my level. Am I good ? Could I do more, way much more ? Could I do 1 hundred or 1 billion more ??

Whatever, a simple masterpiece.
For me, Simogo is as great as 1button.

### 2/5 — Incomplete

*2018-01-28, version 2.0*

Docking 3 stars because the developer can’t figure out how to add a restart button. You literally have to quit the app to restart the game..why is beyond my understanding.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2017-12-25*

Very addicting. 

My only issue is that on the iPhone X, even though you’ve updated it for the iPhone X, when you try to close the game by swiping up, no matter how hard you try you are forced to do splits at the bottom of the screen. This glitch completely ruins your strategy.

### 5/5 — 良ゲー

*2017-12-20*

すごく良く出来ています。やっと20万点越え。

### 5/5 — いいね！

*2017-12-10*

シンプルで、いいゲームです。

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Am I missing something?

*2019-11-01*

This game is fine, but based on the reviews I was expecting something along the lines of device 6, and that is not at all what this is. Unless I’m missing something, it’s just a simple game. I’ve gotten to the ball balancing game but that seems to be just as simple and pointless. I’ve tried shaking and holding the phone upside down, but nothing happens. The game is fine, but I feel cheated out of a device 6 like story driven game. :(

### 1/5 — Vertical orientation only

*2019-08-17*

Sorry but vertical-only games annoy me when I’ve got a keyboard attached.

### 1/5 — Arrrr Crash!

*2018-11-09*

Loved this game but now it’s crashing on my iPhone XR. Please fix!!

**Developer response:** This bug has now been fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience.

### 1/5 — waste of time and money

*2017-12-19, version 2.0*

I bought it because someone compared it to device 6. shouldn’t have bothered.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY (WARNING)

*2017-12-17, version 2.0*

THIS GAME IS TWO YEARS OLD. THE GAMEPLAY HOWEVER IS ARCHAIC. LITERALLY BUYING FECES WOULD BE MORE INTERESTING, AND MORE WORTH IT, THAN BUYING THIS OVERPRICED GAME. I WOULD RATHER BURN THREE DOLLARS THAN SPEND IT ON THIS USELESS, UNINTERESTING APP. THEY SHOULD PAY YOU TO BUY THIS APP. (Or at least make it free). YOU LITERALLY DIVIDE A SQUARE. (I didn’t feel like reading the instructions but I doubt there is much more to this app.)

### 1/5 — iPhone Xで起動せず。

*2017-12-07*

iOS 11.2で起動しません。

### 1/5 — Broken on iPhone X

*2017-11-04, version 1.11*

I love this game. Please update for iOS 11 and iPhone X!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2017-09-06*

Not even fun

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2016-11-24, version 1.11*

When I was looking at the app and I saw the good ratings and I thought oh this is better than it seems but it's what it seems, but when I wasted 3 or 4 dollars and played the game I was very disappointed about how it made no sense and I'm not kidding when I say minesweeper is better and easier to learn than this.😡

### 1/5 — How about a mute button

*2016-11-18, version 1.11*

If you're a game developer and don't give the option to mute, you need to reevaluate your product management skills. Stupid.

### 5/5 — Still playing after 10 years

*2026-05-08, version 2.2*

Title

### 5/5 — My favorite simple puzzler

*2025-11-30*

This game is great and has become my all time favorite simple puzzle game. I find that the longer you play, the more the game opens up to you and reveals deeper strategy. It’s very rewarding. 

But, with Apple’s creation of the “Dynamic Island” it no longer plays as intended. The Dynamic Island gets in the way of the little jumping-jack person, hiding useful information. I see the game hasn’t been updated in a while, but an update to move the little person away from Dynamic Island would be much appreciated!

### 5/5 — Remember when mobile puzzle games used to be puzzles, not money sinks?

*2025-02-09*

Because every game of SPL-T is the same I can’t help thinking there must be a solution: one path that will always lead to the mathematically best possible score. But even all these years later I have no idea what it is, and I don’t want to find out. I suppose if there was a global high score chart it would be full of people who’d looked up the solution online, but if this game has a flaw it’s only that it would be nice to be able to compare scores with your friends.

### 5/5 — 最高の決定的ゲーム

*2023-01-31*

運はないし、初期状態も毎回同じ、だから同じように操作すれば全く同じ結果になる。なのにこれがどうしてなかなか面白い。

自信を持ってオススメします。

### 5/5 — 15万点記念

*2020-12-29*

暇つぶしどころじゃない時間潰し
運要素なしのパズルゲーが好きな人にどうぞ

### 5/5 — ようやく

*2020-07-18*

10満点記念

### 5/5 — シンプルで楽しい

*2020-01-31*

暇な時についついやってしまうくらい面白いです。
画面の色を変えたりする隠し要素があって遊び心もありますね

### 5/5 — 面白い

*2019-07-16*

白黒反転モードをつけて欲しい

### 5/5 — 6/5

*2019-06-26*

Достойна своей цены.

### 5/5 — Ótimo

*2019-05-27*

Bem bom, muito bom de verdade
