Finished the full game in less than an hour, though. Simple and clean graphics, plus an easy hint system, with NO intermittent ads! Thank you for a fun game!! ### 4/5 — Nice variety *2025-12-30, version 1.1.3* This game had a nice variety of puzzles, no ads! But didn’t have very many levels. It was a nice couple of hours. Thank you. ### 4/5 — It's great but.... *2025-12-15, version 1.1.1* I love this game so much, and the creativity is definitely there and appreciated, but I think there should be more levels to play. I completed the game in only two days!!! ### 4/5 — Needs directions *2025-11-15, version 1.1.1* Could actually be fun if you knew what was the point of each level. I’m guessing- make a square but that’s not true of all levels ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-11-14, version 1.1.1* 10/10 very entertaining 😎 ### 5/5 — Very nice *2025-11-04, version 1.1.1* Very nice, I love this ### 5/5 — Think outside the square! *2025-10-26, version 1.1.1* This is really fun and addictive. You make squares by completing different challenges for every game, which are have different manipulations and solutions. However, there are only 33 games/levels, which go quickly. Developers: PLEASE ADD MORE LEVELS! ### 5/5 — Level 28 confusing *2025-10-25, version 1.1.1* I for the life of me cannot figure out level 28 I need some help lol ### 5/5 — Great Game w/o Ads! *2025-10-25, version 1.1.1* I hope you add more levels. I really appreciate this fun game. Nice aesthetic, music, and controls. Checking out your other games as we speak. Just think fr! 🟥🟥🟥 ### 5/5 — I Think! *2025-10-16, version 1.1.1* This is amazing…so good for the brain! ### 5/5 — Simple and fun *2025-10-16, version 1.1.1* Incredibly fun, tactful & minimal ads. Well done developer, this is what games on a phone should be ### 5/5 — Last level is NOT mathematically impossible. *2025-09-28, version 1.1.1* Fun game! But when I got to the last level and started trying it out, I tried some stuff, couldn’t figure it out, and just watched an ad for a hint. Okay, it tells me how to merge things, which I already had figured out, so for the first time I watch the second one, which just explains I need to make a square. Slight issue. The puzzle wants me to make a square out of 8 components. The four corners, and the four sides. Or, just the four corners. I’m not sure. You have to merge two shapes to get any of these. The game gives you a selection of three, as well as an “X” to delete any mistakes. But, since you only have three, you can only make three of the pieces needed, the two bottom corners and the upper left one. Edit: I am stupid. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads On Apple Arcade? *2026-02-16, version 1.1.3* I thought the whole point of Apple Arcade was you had a subscription you wouldn’t hit paywalls or ads. Not the case in this game apparently… I understand the intent that you should have to “pay” for using a hint… but to drop in incredibly deceptive ads that coerce you into clicking App Store links absolutely destroys the UX of the game. Really unfortunate. ### 1/5 — Poor support *2026-02-13, version 1.1.3* I get it that you have to watch ads to get help, but you watch them and the help doesn’t come. Bogus. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Square:the game *2025-12-18, version 1.1.1* Makes no sense there’s no directions this is the dumbest waste of time. ### 1/5 — Ads and no help *2025-11-28, version 1.1.1* I would like this game if there were no ads. No way to pay for it???? ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2025-11-09, version 1.1.1* This game is fine and the levels are pretty fun but I completed the whole game in 30 minutes as there is only 33 levels in the game. If there was an expansion I would consider downloading again. ### 2/5 — easy *2025-12-12, version 1.1.1* interesting but a little easy and level 30 has a glitch nothing moves ### 3/5 — Fun little game *2025-11-25, version 1.1.1* Only took about 20-30 mins to complete. All the levels are pretty obvious. ### 3/5 — Stuck *2025-10-31, version 1.1.1* Fun game, but I’m stuck on 30, can’t move or change anything. ### 3/5 — Last level is mathematically impossible. *2025-09-26* Fun game! But when I got to the last level and started trying it out, I tried some stuff, couldn’t figure it out, and just watched an ad for a hint. Okay, it tells me how to merge things, which I already had figured out, so for the first time I watch the second one, which just explains I need to make a square. Slight issue.

But, since you only have three, you can only make three of the pieces needed, the two bottom corners and the upper left one. **Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed feedback! Have you tried merging the same shapes with themselves (like circle with circle, triangle with triangle, etc.)? That might help you progress on that level. ### 3/5 — Almost interesting *2025-08-31, version 1.1.0* Went through a number of levels, got to 10. Instead of a puzzle it's an avoid the object game. I look for a hint, and get thrown into an ad for Royal Match, which asks that I give them five seconds before I skip. Ten seconds later, it doesn't appear to be stopping, which means the ad is committing the number one cardinal sin in gaming: preventing me from playing the game. I'm no marketing expert, but pissing off a potential customer doesn't strike me as a sound strategy. However, dumping me into an ad when I'm asking for a clue also pisses me off, so I uninstalled. Too bad, it was interesting up to then. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing Game *2026-07-08, version 1.1.3* Very few times do you find a game that is simple, sticks to its premise, has no ads, and delivers an enjoyable experience while also having good background music. The only downside is that I wish it had more levels, but for what it’s worth, it’s self contained. It doesn’t suffer from repetitiveness either. ### 5/5 — Very Interesting game *2026-07-02, version 1.1.3* Wish there were more levels! ### 5/5 — Fun, short, and sweet *2026-05-07, version 1.1.3* It’s a simple game meant to get your mind thinking laterally. There’s a limited number of levels but the dev has other games (fixing to move to those next and check them out). No ads except voluntary to purchase a hint. It’s a good balance. Keeping the game contained within a set, small number of levels enables the dev to keep this app free of ads and keeps the quality up. I’d much rather the developer not overextend and having to cover the difference one way or the other by defaulting to ads or by cheapening the graphics (minimalist but quirky) or the sound (clean, non-distracting ambience) or level design (unique and just enough outside expectations to stretch cognition outside what 95% of your normal day is). ### 5/5 — Fun once I figured out the goal *2026-01-29, version 1.1.3* I had fun with this once I figured out the goal. ### 5/5 — Wish there was more! *2026-01-12, version 1.1.3* I just can’t wait for more levels! ### 5/5 — Very good *2025-11-22, version 1.1.1* Amazing game all of the developers other games are quite good aswell this is the first review I’ve ever made and its super deserving of a five ### 5/5 — Time killer *2025-11-21, version 1.1.1* Not a bad way to fight boredom. Looking forward to what’s next ### 5/5 — So far so good *2025-11-19, version 1.1.1* Very interesting game. Definitely has IQ test vibes to it. If using your brain is your thing, this is definitely the game for you. ### 5/5 — So fun! *2025-11-18, version 1.1.1* Love this game! I will def be playing the rest of this developers library ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-11-17, version 1.1.1* Wonderful game with no ads unless you want a hint --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
