### 5/5 — Strategiespiel mit Langzeitfaktor

*2020-06-15*

Kann dieses Spiel nur jedem empfehlen der auf Strategische Spiele und dem lösen von komplexer Prozessketten steht. 
Außerdem ist es auch ein Spiel was von seinem Umfang und Schwierigkeitsgrad mit steigendem Level wirklich herausfordert und sogar nach längeren Pausen immer wieder den Ehrgeiz weckt.

### 5/5 — Sehr schön zum Knobeln

*2020-06-06*

Ui, an level 42 hab ich mir ganz schön lange die Zähne ausgebissen. Toll für Leute, die gern mal nachdenken bei den Spielen. Und ohne nervige Werbung und so.

### 5/5 — Fun game of logic and machinery

*2020-02-28, version 1.0.6*

I found this game to so incredibly satisfying.   If a level got too challenging, I would work on another... later in the day I would often think of a better approach and come back to it and often that would do the trick.   I just wish the developer would come out with new levels.

### 5/5 — Best mobile puzzle game I’ve tried!

*2019-08-14, version 1.0.6*

Very clean and gets much harder fast! My mobile 2D puzzle fix. Very much like Opus Magnum!

### 5/5 — Absolutely great!!!!

*2019-07-19, version 1.0.6*

Played both 1 and 2.  Both are great and tough at that.  I hope developer is hard at work on sequence 3.  It’s worth the money and time.  The harder levels are very satisfying and even more when they work different than what YouTube says. Lol  keep up the great work!!! #fanforlife

### 5/5 — Best puzzle game - Worth it

*2019-06-22, version 1.0.6*

This game gets extremely hard yet the levels use pretty simple mechanics. Easy to understand, difficult to master.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2019-03-29, version 1.0.4*

A true logical puzzle game.
I noticed two levels got pointed out by other reviews lvl 44
And 50.
 As I also had trouble with those two I’ll give some advice. For lvl 44 you may be able to gain some insight from lvl38.
As for lvl50 I don’t have much room to be cryptic so don’t read if you don’t want help

You should try and use your new function to “reset” the position 
 of the old function that spun pieces around it.

On a side note I wish the functions had proper names like piston
, Fan/conveyor, gear, rotator, etc

### 5/5 — 出来た時の喜びが半端ない

*2019-03-26*

やっと40面まで来たけど、まだ半分以上ステージがありそう。
難しいから、凄く悩むけど、クリア出来た時のスッキリ感と、喜びが半端ないですね。
久しぶりに、面白いパズル見つけた^ - ^

### 5/5 — 面白い！

*2019-03-07*

いい意味でめちゃくちゃ頭が疲れます！

iPhoneXで一部文字被りがあります。

### 5/5 — 理系ホイホイ

*2019-02-22*

これ無理でしょ…って思うステージも考えて考えてヒラメキで解決！
ハマりました

### 5/5 — 知恵の輪好きにおススメ！

*2019-02-21*

癖になります、難易度高すぎて投げそうになるんだけど、不思議と現実世界で手詰まりした時にやると頭の体操になる*\(^o^)/*  他の方が書かれていますが、難易度の上昇の仕方がうまくて、たいていヒントは前のステージで出てるのと、たまに解きやすい方を2ステージの中から選べるのがよい。

それがまたもう一方の未解決ステージのヒントになってたり。
左から二つ目のツールが出るまでは続けたら面白くなると思います、ガチャガチャやってると解ける瞬間があり理詰めの逆算もあり、ゲームのバランスがサイコーです。

### 5/5 — Adored the original

*2019-02-13, version 1.0.4*

SO happy to see a version two out. The functionality is great and the puzzles are lovingly challenging.

### 5/5 — 無骨！難しい！楽しい！

*2019-02-11*

この無骨な感じのデザインがかっこいいです
デザインも直感的でわかりやすいですし音楽もイカしてます。
そして何よりも難しく、詰将棋をやってるような感覚になります。
難しい分だけクリアした時の達成感が素晴らしく、またレベルが上がる時の難易度の上昇具合がそれまたちょうど良く常に悩ませてくれます！
素晴らしいパズルゲームです

### 4/5 — Great Game!

*2019-01-25, version 1.0.4*

Love the game. Is the leaderboard ever coming back? It went blank 3 day ago. My aspirations of being the #1 Sequencer in the world are rapidly diminishing. 😢

### 5/5 — A puzzle game that is actually hard! I love it!

*2018-11-28, version 1.0.4*

Most of the puzzle games on the store are really just time wasters, because the levels aren't actually hard. Some of the puzzles in this take some serious thought. Great work!

### 5/5 — 실수로 구입했습니다. 환불 부탁드립니다.

*2018-10-06*

지문인식으로 인해 실수로 구입했습니다. 환불 부탁드립니다.

### 5/5 — 비용이 잘못 빠진것 같습니다.

*2018-10-05*

안녕하세요. 더시퀀스를 올해 10/3일에 다운로드한 유저입니다. 그 때 가격으로 2500원이길래 다운을 받았었는데 그 다음날 인출된 금액이 5000원이었습니다. 확인부탁드립니다.

### 5/5 — 실수로 구입했습니다 환불부탁드립니다

*2018-10-03*

### 1/5 — Not Bad

*2018-08-30, version 1.0.3*

Not Bad, just ruined by too many adds

### 1/5 — Noch ein collision bug ab Level 87

*2018-08-25*

Super Spiel! Bitte lösen.

**Developer response:** Perhaps this is not a bug, but a wrong level solution. Please contact me at umaksimus100@gmail.com

### 1/5 — 33stage error

*2018-08-10*

You should repair 33 stage Error

**Developer response:** This bug was fixed in 1.0.3 update

### 1/5 — Atrocious instruction

*2018-08-06, version 1.0.1*

Boring graphics and intolerable play made this a waster of $2 and 15 Minutes.

### 1/5 — Loved the first edition

*2018-08-05, version 1.0.1*

And was loving this one until the game completely corrupted after level 52. Levels 53-55 do not function and all of the completed levels are corrupted even though my score still shows for all levels. Very disappointed since I can not think of a remedy short of reinstalling the game. A lot of work went in to 52 levels.

### 2/5 — Keeps on closing down

*2021-05-21, version 1.0.6*

The app closes down and you need to start the puzzle again if left too long. Annoying because have to start puzzle again  Does not have landscape mode on ipad.

### 2/5 — Annoying interface

*2018-08-04, version 1.0.1*

Interesting concept, but kept struggling with interface. When you place a new title it doesn’t select. This means you are constantly screwing up other tiles.

### 3/5 — 惜しい！

*2022-05-15*

ゲームの内容自体には文句はないのですが、 iCloudセーブの仕様がわかりにくくてアプリを消したらデータが消えてしまいました。もう少し説明があるほうがいいのでは？ また、ステージを順に解いていくシステムになっているので特定のステージで詰むと先へ進めないのもストレスが溜まるところです。高難度パズルなんだから、苦手なひとが詰むことは想定していて欲しい！ パズルの品質自体はとても高いです。

### 3/5 — I was expecting more.

*2018-08-23, version 1.0.3*

Too easy. I was hoping for something more challenging.

### 3/5 — Developer Please Help Level 33

*2018-08-10, version 1.0.2*

Love this game so far, but take a look at level 33.  The solution I’ve seen online no longer works.  I’ve tried it on both iPad and iPhone X.  Same issue. Stuck until this is fixed. Could last update have corrupted?

### 5/5 — Very slick and well paced

*2026-04-02, version 1.0.6*

My kind of game and executed very well

### 5/5 — Seems good

*2026-02-10, version 1.0.6*

I'm only on the 2nd world but I can tell this is going to be good.

Nice to see a proper mobile game again. In recent years the market had been dominated by addictive pseudo-games. This is not that.

It reminds me a bit of SpaceChem, which is also excellent.

### 5/5 — Tiny opus magnum

*2024-10-30*

I rarely review games but this deserves it! It really have zachtronics vibe and I love this kind of games, found some puzzle really challenging. Great game!

### 5/5 — Belongs in Apple Arcade

*2022-08-19, version 1.0.6*

I don’t know why this has so few ratings, but it should be an App Store greatest hit. Been playing for years, an incredibly original puzzler.

### 5/5 — Лучшая логическая игра

*2022-04-19*

Прекрасно все. И идея, и музыка, и мышление, которое эта игрушка развивает. 

От красоты решений испытываешь внутренний восторг. 

Желаю вдохновения на продолжение данной серии.

### 5/5 — Best Puzzle Since [the Sequence]!

*2021-04-14*

Love this puzzler.  Only about half-way through the levels and have enjoyed each one.  Looking forward to additional challenges.  Keep up the great work.

### 5/5 — Amazing Puzzle Game

*2021-04-03, version 1.0.6*

This game is amazingly awesome. Puzzle gamers should do themselves a favor and get this game.

### 5/5 — さすが

*2021-01-30*

よくある無料でダウンロード出来て、広告バンバン挟みまくる割に似たようなステージばっかりさせるなんちゃってパズルゲームとは全然違います。

チュートリアルこそあるものの、進んでくとガチムズいわ！

### 5/5 — Sehr schönes und forderndes Spiel

*2020-11-07*

Außerdem sehr viele Level und zum Ende hin knackiger Schwierigkeitsgrad. Top!

### 5/5 — 4周目

*2020-10-21*

忘れかけては再インストールして楽しんでる。
それでも新鮮な気持ちで毎回プレイ出来る
ええゲームやで
