### 4/5 — We Need More!

*2022-03-31*

Love this little gem so what is stopping it achieving five stars?

1) Much of it is just a little too easy, even though I love the relaxing, pressure free, feel of it.

2) it's too short, even though I love the progression rate.

Sort those and it's five stars from me!

### 3/5 — Kein Sync mit Game Center

*2021-11-03*

Das Spiel ist nett, aber man kann es nicht mit der iCloud/GameCenter synchronisieren. Heutzutage sollte das eigentlich jedes Spiel können.

### 5/5 — Love game. Hate reinstalling.

*2021-04-07*

I love this game. I have played through multiple times. Many ways, try upside down :) but I hate deleting and reinstalling. It should just be a simple button to start over.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your five star review!

### 5/5 — Pretty sweet

*2021-03-03*

This is a great incremental game! Can’t believe I didn’t find it sooner. 

My only gripe is that the reset button should be at the bottom of the screen, or at least a different color than the other buttons. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve pressed it thinking it was the reverse gravity button, and have had to start a level over again. Kind of annoying. Other than that, really happy with this one!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your five stars and for the suggestion!

### 5/5 — It’s still the gem it was.

*2020-11-07*

My entire third grade class would play this game instead of working, I’m 19 now but I grew up with this game and it’s still just as amazing. I thank all of you for your work.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your five star review!
@BartBonte

### 5/5 — Yeah

*2020-07-10*

Same as the computer version. Excellent for the price!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your 5 stars!

### 5/5 — New levels?

*2020-05-13, version 2.7*

Will there ever be any new levels?

### 5/5 — Love

*2020-02-12, version 2.7*

I love this game, I hope there’s new levels soon 🥺

### 5/5 — Level 82 issue

*2020-01-27*

I love this game- and always have! But for some reason on level 82, it restarts after about 10 seconds or so when nothing has gone wrong. There are exclusive cups but they are flipped upside down so I know the wrong color sugar hasn’t gone in them yet. Any ideas on what I can do without losing my data of getting this far? Thanks!

**Developer response:** Yes when the level resets it will be because a wrong colored sugar entered an exclusive cup. You can send me a screenshot at bontegames@gmail.com if you think there is a problem on your device, thanks!

### 5/5 — Yo this game is amazing

*2020-01-23, version 2.7*

I played this on PC 7 years ago and it still rocks!

### 3/5 — Levels Restart and you can’t complete the level

*2019-12-26*

Love this game. But I’ve been stuck in level 90 because it will restart after about 5 seconds. I’ve tried restarting the app and my phone but it always happens. I’m a little upset and frustrated because this is an app you pay for.

**Developer response:** The level restarts because you let a sugar with the wrong color slip into an exclusive cup. Level 90 is a level with exclusive cups (cups wth exclamation marks)

### 3/5 — New levels

*2019-10-29, version 2.7*

When will there be new levels ?

### 5/5 — Cool Game 𓃟

*2019-09-24*

This game is very relaxing and has nice music, no adds and doesn’t take long to load at all (for me) 

Cool 𓆏

**Developer response:** Thanks for your five stars!

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2019-07-16, version 2.7*

Love, love, LOVE this game!! Hoping for new levels soon 😏 or at least more by BartBonte.

### 5/5 — Boring

*2019-06-01*

I want my money back

### 5/5 — Can’t do leavel four

*2019-05-15*

Level for is super hard for me and I have the I think first or second suger sugar and I can’t pass leavl four so can u please please please make level four easier

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2019-01-29*

My (current) favorite game. Solid, challenging gameplay. Good 3-5 minute levels if you’ve got a few minutes.

Only issue is I have to keep deleting and reinstalling the game to replay it since every time I exit, it restarts me on level 100. It would be great if you restarted the game and it would keep track of the new level you’re on (or have a reset button).

### 1/5 — Unauthorized transaction from Sugar, sugar $2.16

*2024-09-24, version 3.6*

This app is apparently free and I never authorized 2.16 to be ran through my debit, something scummy is going on here. Reporting it asap

### 1/5 — Stuck on Level 10

*2018-09-18*

Seen many others also have the same issue. If this is fixed I will change my rating otherwise for a paid app this is ridiculous.

**Developer response:** For level 10: there is no floor and no ceiling. Just let the sugar go through the floor and it will appear again at the ceiling, that's how to solve the level...

### 1/5 — Bad

*2017-06-08, version 2.0*

It's fun for the first 20 minutes.  Then it's so hard you delete the app.  I want a REFUND!  ＼(>o<)／

### 1/5 — Bored

*2017-03-07*

Bored within 10 mins

### 1/5 — Waste

*2016-10-17*

One star, the sugar fills up the cup on level 2 and the game just sticks, won't move on to the next level, total waste of money!

### 1/5 — Worst 79p I've ever spent

*2015-07-19, version 1.5*

I would rather put bleach in my cuts and set a rabid squirrel loose in my underpants

### 2/5 — Nowhere near as good as the pc version

*2019-11-25*

I’ve played this game for years on the pc, and was so pleased to see it available for the iPad. What a disappointment. The levels are similar, the puzzles are similar, but the amount of ‘sugar’ you get on the iPad version is only *just* enough to complete the level, meaning you have to be absolutely accurate every time. Part of the fun of this game was experimenting with different pathways etc and sometimes you could rescue a level even if you made a mistake, but no chance of that here. The sugar is so restricted it’s almost a cheat. I would class myself as being very good at this game but I’ve got so fed up with being literally 3 or 4 pixels (sugar grains) out, it’s become frustrating and irksome. Stick to the free pc version, it’s much better and more fun. Even though I paid for it, I shall delete it.

### 2/5 — Level 18

*2019-08-19, version 2.7*

Level 18 is broken

### 2/5 — Glitchy and slow

*2018-06-07, version 2.6*

App is glitchy and slow, I used to enjoy this game.

### 2/5 — Not worth it

*2016-02-29*

It is 0.99$ and not even a very good game it would be better if you reduce the price to 0.50$ or so but over all it's not a too bad game..

### 5/5 — Favourite game

*2026-04-16*

I love this game, hopefully more levels are in the works!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your five stars!
@BartBonte

### 5/5 — I appreciate your dedication to continue the life of sugar, sugar

*2025-12-10*

Thank you for continuing to update the app and allow us to play it :)))) I started playing over 10 years ago in the elementary school computer lap. Now I’m a senior in college redownloading the app to play before bed. I hope sugar, sugar continues to follow us through ever changing technology!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your five star review !
@BartBonte

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-03-18*

A simple but challenging puzzle game I’ve been playing since I was a kid…would 100% recommend

**Developer response:** Thanks for your five stars!
@BartBonte

### 5/5 — I've played many times.

*2024-02-25*

I'd be happy if there was an additional level!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your five stars!
@BartBonte

### 5/5 — Love the game!

*2023-05-31*

My only insignificant complaint is I wish when you paused the game there was some sort of translucent pause screen where you can see the majority of the game in the background and study it before you choose to resume. Maybe it’s not possible on purpose to make it more difficult which is also understandable.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your five stars!
@BartBonte

### 5/5 — Absolutely awesome

*2022-07-23*

I remember playing this on crazy games back in 2012 (or 2013) and it’s awesome to be able to play it again on mobile!

but I will say that I don’t like how the sugar particles “run out” after a period of time, I remember it being infinite. Would it be an issue if it was infinite on mobile? 

Still a great game, thanks Bart!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your five stars! In the browser version the sugar amount wasn't infinite as well though ;)
@BartBonte

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-10-14*

I l have loved this game for a long time from the computer version and this does not disappoint its addicting and very satisfying, I love it!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your five stars!
@BartBonte

### 5/5 — The absolute best

*2021-07-23*

Bart is without a doubt the best game developer on the entire app store and I don’t say that lightly. His games are engaging and fun to look at, the music is great, the games aren’t crammed with ads, almost of them are free and the ones that aren’t are very modestly priced but the one thing that sets Bart above anyone else, that truly makes him the best developer is the maintenance. This game is approaching 9 years old at the time of writing, it came out on the iPhone 4! Bart is still updating and adding new levels, new levels were added 3 months ago. Imagine if you bought this 9 years ago for pennies, how’s that for return on investment. Fantastic, I tip my hat to you Bart.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your five star review!
@BartBonte

### 5/5 — Sugar, Sugar on Mobile?!

*2021-07-03*

I played this game on Cool Math Games around the point it was available on the website, I don't remember when specifically. I’ve never beaten all the levels, but its memorable nevertheless. The mobile port is everything I experienced but better. I’m sad I wasnt aware of this game port sooner. To think this game is still getting updated? Excited for new levels! But, the sugar is blurry and looks like snow, i preferred the non-blurry sugar. Also its sad because of the smaller resolution on mobile that its not possible to display the whole “Sugar, Sugar” title per level without taking up a ton of screenspace. It’s worth the $0.99.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your five stars!
@BartBonte

### 5/5 — Thanks for new levels

*2021-04-27*

I’ve been playing for years. Don’t know why but I love it. Please ohh please make more levels. I can’t get enough

**Developer response:** Thanks for your 5 stars!
