### 5/5 — Just a joy

*2026-08-22, version 1.15.5*

This game is very soothing. I love the visuals and the music. Just a work of art.

### 5/5 — I need new challenges!

*2025-12-13, version 1.15.5*

This game is relaxing fun with distinctive visuals. Even though I’ve solved all the puzzles I come back several times a day to mess around on infinity. My only problem is I need new content or challenges. Thoughts:
Publish daily challenges to push me to revisit puzzles I haven’t played since solving! Let me use the tickets earned in infinity to buy more bubbles in infinity. Finally: RELEASE THE AQUARIUM UPDATE!!!

### 5/5 — A game to keep going back to

*2025-08-24, version 1.15.4*

This game is just fun. You can play a few quick rounds or dive in and play for a good long while without getting bored.

### 5/5 — Relaxing

*2025-07-30, version 1.15.4*

Relaxing to play.

### 5/5 — Still one of my favorite phone games

*2025-06-13, version 1.15.4*

I don’t even remember when I bought this game any more, but I keep coming back to it. The puzzles are delightful and creative, and the artwork is charming - plus, I appreciate that I dont need an internet connection or any kind of pay to play. I know small indie games dont always get a lot of attention, but this game deserves more fame than any of the bigger names.  I’m still looking forward to the aquarium 😂, and would be delighted if there were any more updates with more puzzles or modes

### 5/5 — Endlich ein Game wo man nur 1x bezahlt

*2025-02-09*

Sehr schön gemacht

### 5/5 — Love it!!! The aquarium…? 🥺

*2024-12-23, version 1.11.12*

I think I got this game in like 2019, I was 9 then and I’m 15 now so I’ve had it for a little bit haha- yeah! Well I’ve played this game through many times now- it’s pretty challenging once you get to a point, but very satisfying once you do finish it :) the music is honestly awesome and so relaxing lol yeah I ended up finishing the whole game after like a year or something so I remember changing it to color blind mode which is a nice add on considering if you were color blind and they didn’t have that option the game would be impossible to some, but I thought it was cool myself cause I wanted to try it out with a different experience :) also, I liked doing the infinity random one a lot, that was great- I loved doing it whenever I was waiting for a table at a restaurant or anything like that. A great way to get hints considering they are sometimes needed :) seriously, if you do want to get the game and want to finish it somewhat quickly spam the infinity game whenever possible it’s really annoying when you have no hints I have like 2000 over time I think lol now I’m a tad bored of the game, but considering I’ve had years of play time I’m amazed I wasn’t bored 5 years ago lol honestly I wish there was a real just zen level without a limited amount of lives, that would be nice cause infinity eventually just stops you once you ran out cause they don’t want you getting 50 hints in one sitting 😂 honestly I came back to check this game because they have this button on the bottom thing that says “aquarium” and then it says coming soon, so I keep on checking it out every once in a while to see if they added anything new- I hope it’s a whole new world of levels! I would really enjoy that, I was kinda sad when I finished the first world 🫠 not that it was super short though, it took me a long time I just want to see more! :) I still haven’t gotten all the achievements, like 4 don’t sound fun to do, but I have most hehe but yeah! I recommend it, especially if you enjoy art and mixing colors and just want a chill game to play every once in a while :) the puzzles really are pretty interesting, I’m just here hoping they are still updating this! :’D so developers if you read this I really like your game is the aquarium thing actually happening? I’m prob gonna search of safari after I submit this I just don’t want the review to yeet itself lol thats happened too many times before 🫠🫠🫠

### 5/5 — Fun and Relaxing

*2024-08-14, version 1.11.12*

I played this from its beginning in Android and now that I'm giving iPad a try, it was one of the first apps I looked for.
I also really appreciate being able to just buy it and not have to pay for it forever with a subscription. My heartfelt thanks for that!

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2024-02-24, version 1.11.12*

Very relaxing, but not totally easy, it does make you think, great game!

### 4/5 — I want more!

*2023-11-20, version 1.11.12*

I love this game so much! It’s one of my favorites. The puzzles start out easy and get progressively harder as you advance. It’s so delightfully wholesome yet challenging. Now that I have finished all the levels, I love going back and playing the infinity puzzle. However, it always ends so quickly! While I understand it is originally designed for earning tickets to help with the game, I wish that somehow you could actually just play that level for longer. Or maybe just a relaxing infinity game mode? In any case, love this game and highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing puzzle game.
