### 1/5 — Zero stars

*2023-02-10*

This may be an enjoyable game, if the instructions were written in English. As they are written, they do not make sense.

### 3/5 — Tap to connect

*2022-07-08*

It’s aesthetically pleasing and starts off simple enough. I’ve only played a bit but I imagine that it gets more challenging. Gameplay consists of tapping until the pieces connect. Although it looks nice this game is nothing special or new. It quickly becomes repetitive.

### 2/5 — Starts off fine, but goes downhill fast

*2021-12-17*

Like many of the other reviews mentioned, the game doesn’t stand true to its own logic. Even once you figure out the secret countdown rule, there are other things that will drive you insane trying to figure out. For example; having to place the stars in a horizontal rectangle instead of a vertical so it doesn’t create a square & line.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-08-12, version 1.0.2*

Has a great UI, nice artwork and cool music. Can’t ask for more, except more levels (which is happening).

### 1/5 — Yup

*2020-08-11, version 1.0.2*

It has potential to be a really good game, but some of the levels are so confusing. It seems like you’ve beaten the level, but will turn to -1 or 0 but you still haven’t won.

### 3/5 — It’s good except some valid solutions don’t trigger a win

*2020-08-09*

Good game, nice and calm, just annoying to finish a level with a valid solution exactly confirming to the requirements to not have the game detect that and you have to find another solution which the game will “like”.

### 3/5 — The missing rule

*2020-02-09*

The number at the start of each level is the number of connections between stars that are needed. If there is a 1 at the top of the screen, then you need to rearrange the stars so that one additional connection, i.e. If 4 stars are in a string with 3 connections, rearrange them into a square to get 4 connections.

Still, this is a very challenging puzzle. I think you should only work on it when you are relaxed, not busy and stressed, in rder t enjoy it.

### 2/5 — What do I do next

*2019-02-26*

Game was fun at first once you figured out how to play. More directions are needed to move past level 40. No guidance on to move forward means losing interest.

### 5/5 — Simple and Easy to understand the rule

*2019-02-15*

Really simple and easy to understand how to play this game, yet the game itself is not that simple. And also, the feeling this game give is somewhat wonderful.

### 1/5 — Stars Wheel - interesting, but ...,  0 stars for high frustration levels

*2019-02-05*

Well, I read the reviews and tried it anyway... Listen to what reviewers are saying! The early ones were interesting but by about level 30, things started getting wierd. You follow the rules (what little of them are provided) and you think you've solved the puzzle but the number on the screen doesn't show a zero, it has something like -7! What the hey does that mean??? I pushed on for 11 more of these things, sometimes trying a monumental number of configurations to try to reach that magic 0. I am quitting at #41 and deleting the app because I feel like I am just   wasting my time working on/with this thing.
BTW, most of the reviews are from 2016... Have at it, if you want, but you've been warned.... 1 is the lowest rating allowed, but I think it deserves that elusive ZERO that will get you to the next level of futility.
