## What is Twenty?

Twenty is a colorful arcade/puzzle game that starts at 5, looks easy until 10, gets fiendish at 15 and challenges you to get to 20. Anyone can learn it, but you'll have to concentrate to make it all the way.

Think you've got it mastered? Try one of the variations like Bubbles, Drop, Flip-Flop. Try Zen mode to relax, or Panic mode for a real challenge.

Take on a friend with TwentyTwo, a crazy two-player race to see who can get to Twenty first. Steal tiles from your opponent but be careful to guard your own.

### 5/5 — Finally got paid version

*2026-07-27, version 1.5.1*

This game has been total fun, i found it extremely hard so the existance of the zen mode really makes it nice since i can peacefully make a combo merge. Anyways the game is amazing, hoping to see more games from you in the future!

### 1/5 — The number blocks rise when the timer hasn’t even passed half way

*2026-06-27, version 1.5.1*

Every single time I play this game one player the blocks rise even when the timer hasn’t ran out and sometimes two stacks of blocks rise together at the same time this game used to be fun and I loved it before but I now I don’t recommend this game as its like a cheat game where the timer doesn’t even run out yet and its not even half way when it says game over. I do not like this anymore and it doesn’t make sense the tiniest bit because what’s the point of the timer still half way and new blocks rise? This is not a good experience and I hate how it always does that. Idk if it’s just my app that does this specifically for me or it’s for most of them…

### 5/5 — very nice

*2024-12-28, version 1.5.1*

very nice

### 3/5 — Great, but VERY time consuming.

*2024-12-03, version 1.5.1*

So I’ve had this game for a while now, and I love it. My only hangup is that when you are in late-game numbers, every loss forces you to trudge through all the easy stuff again. The menu does give you starting options once you’ve cleared them, but those options are all under 1x 20. The funnest part for me is when the board is stacked and it’s a genuine logical puzzle, every move must be calculated for time and the shape of your board. But getting to that point often means spending half an hour(sometimes 45 minutes, depending on my score) just to get to that point. Beating a high score is gratifying, but putting an hour into this game just to lose one 20 before my high score discourages me from wanting to chase that high score(we all have things to do, even moreso when your time-killer kills too much time). Even if it started you out at, say, 5 or 10 twenties once you hit those scores, it would improve the game experience significantly for me. Maybe that’s just me though, I’m sure for others the sheer time required to get to that point makes winning more gratifying.

### 5/5 — Quick Request

*2024-11-28, version 1.5.1*

Can you guys add a zen for the “Thirty mode” it would basically be zen but it goes up to thirty instead.

### 5/5 — YEAHHH

*2024-08-30, version 1.5.1*

I FINALLY FOUND THE GAME

### 5/5 — I love this

*2024-04-28, version 1.5.1*

I am probably gonna do the 1.99 thing.The 2 player is amazing

Question:
How do you steal other people’s tiles in the 2 player

### 5/5 — 20 is life

*2024-02-27, version 1.5.1*

The days are a blur. The last vestiges of my sanity have flown. There are only numbers now.  But really- I have been very obsessed with Baldur’s Gate 3 and even then I have not played nearly as many sessions of that game as I have with this. 

Twenty has completely taken over my life. I hold conversations while playing it. I have brainstorming sessions while playing it. I’m on work calls while playing it. Really, I’m writing this review as a confessional. 

Play it at your own risk, truly. It’s too too good.

### 4/5 — Amazing! But one thing…

*2024-02-03, version 1.5.1*

Love it!!!! Best game I’ve ever played! So addictive and no ads! Can be played anywhere because Wi-Fi is not needed. Only problem is I want to buy different game modes but it repeatedly says that there is an error with the App Store. I have tried many times in different places, with and without Wi-Fi, with and without mobile data, but it never works. That is my only complaint but besides that, everything is amazing about it!

### 3/5 — You call that Zen???

*2023-11-12, version 1.5.1*

If you want Zen to actually be peaceful, it would sure be nice if it would wait for you to finish all your matches, rather than just being like “we’ll let it go off the top of the screen and you just don’t get eliminated”.
