### 5/5 — Really good game

*2026-04-16, version 2.3*

Genuinely so fun to kill time, no ads is so freeing for a game in modern day!! Simple but fun :)

### 5/5 — Great little game

*2026-02-22, version 2.3*

A simple premise, but can be tricky. Could only better if could be played offline,

### 5/5 — So much fun!!

*2025-08-06, version 2.3*

I absolutely adore this game. It's visual pleasing, no ads, makes me think, and is just overall a great time. I would love a hint button to try and give context for possible actions to take next!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-04-10, version 2.3*

Controls are easy to use, visually not overwhelming and overall pleasing, and most important there are no ads. There is nothing else to want for while using this game - 10/10

### 5/5 — Really good!

*2025-02-26, version 2.3*

Very solid game. Clean UI and helpful tutorial.

### 4/5 — I bought 1000 puzzle package but

*2025-02-02, version 2.3*

I bought 1000 puzzle package but after completing about 20 of them, they start repeating themselves. Then I only keep getting 5 or so of the same puzzles. It was fun until they started to repeat.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-01-16, version 2.3*

Such a fantastic game. I was happy to pay for the extra puzzles, and have been thoroughly enjoying solving them. I would, however, love to have the option to show a timer / stats (fastest solve, average solve time)! Though it would have to be optional, I can understand a timer being a potential stressor for such a relaxing game.

### 5/5 — Fun puzzle, good app

*2024-11-05, version 2.3*

Just downloaded with two months left in 2024. This app is great. I love the puzzles-no time pressure, no ads, no tracking. It’s a basic app that does one puzzle and does it well. 

I purchased the full pack of all levels before completing the free ones. The value for the money spent is high with this one if you’re an avid puzzler. 

I love that I can zip through the easy puzzles  when I want a break from the harder ones. I can turn on the wand in settings to check if I (or my cat) bumped something, then turn it off again so I don’t rely on it or accidentally tap it. There are links to three levels of tutorials in the app as well.

The number of entertainment hours available for the price makes it a great value.

### 5/5 — The best game ever, but why is the subscription so easy?

*2024-10-26, version 2.3*

I came here to leave a 3-star review because after I bought the extra expert puzzles they were so easy. You didn’t put the effort to make them as good as the free ones. They are not half as good as them. 
Expect for this, this is by far the best mobile game that I have played. The free puzzles were amazing. So, I could not get myself to give you a three star review. I love this game. 
Please show us respect by making the paid ones as good as the free ones. I love your game. Keep up the great work.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-10-10, version 2.3*

Well developed, challenging fun puzzles. Highly recommend all puzzlers to give this a try.
More visually appealing than other Star battles
