User reviews

Beautiful!

Feels like a game and not just an app! Love the sound effects! Love the gradual progression! Everything is perfect!

Great, great, great

The app is just beautiful and a lot of fun. If you want to stretch your working memory, I highly recommend. (And if you haven’t seen Ayumu the chimp solve one of these, there’s a good BBC video on the internet.)
