My only issue is that there’s no landscape mode playing for iPad and you can’t scroll through levels, so that means I can’t let my friends try the first couple levels without taking 5 minutes to go through levels. Other than that, I’m really enjoying it and it’s a fun thing to play when I’m bored. 😁 ### 5/5 — Incredible! Short, but incredible. *2019-01-13* I love games like this, and I find the difficulty progression very well paced. My only wish is that there were a minimum moves goal. Just so that there were more "puzzling". As of now, a bout a quarter of the levels lent themselves to deciphering the mechanics of the game, and some involved much more guess and check. Really great game, would reccommend. ### 5/5 — The puzzle is NP-complete *2019-01-12* Each puzzle is reduced to the Vertex Cover problem, which is mathematically categorized as NP-complete. In other words, it is among the hardest problems in computer science. Fortunately the size of each puzzle is small enough to be solved realistically. 10/10 would recommend to my professor **Developer response:** Haha 😄 Thank you! ### 4/5 — Nitpicking But... *2019-01-12* Though not an original type, the puzzle is fine. What bothers me (being a designer/artist) is the box on top of the background. It’s unnecessary. This is a minimalist design that focuses on the buttons. The extra box of a different color that sits on the background which, I suppose is meant to be decorative, isn’t. It’s only a visual distraction. Other than that, if you like this puzzle type, this one is an adequate form of it. ### 4/5 — Few levels yet *2019-01-10* The game is pritty good, but there are just 50 leves yet. It is quick to complete all levels end the fun. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Wow, I‘m impressed that you solved all the levels already. I didn‘t think that the game was this easy. There will be more levels and they will be harder 🙂 ### 5/5 — Great and unique puzzle game! 🥚 *2019-01-10* In love with the simplicity that this game has and the look it sports. The puzzles are as simple as tap to light up the pegs, but as all puzzle game works, the difficulty escalates to where you have to think about each action you make. Something I noticed while playing is that with this game isn’t about how its made, its pretty well made, but just the design of the game makes it really easy to accidentally complete levels or just trial and error until you complete a level, which kind of takes away some fun, but is just a niche nitpick overall. Otherwise I would totally recommend this game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rip off! *2019-02-21* I know it’s only .99 but my kid wants instructions.. seems silly to be the game of the day when it’s pretty basic and not much to the game. What makes an app game of the day! Will definitely make me think twice before I buy anymore apps. ### 1/5 — Crap game *2019-02-01, version 1.1* Crap game and very boring.... no skill or logic in movement and design... don't bother! ### 1/5 — M *2019-01-14* Have no idea what this is or how I am supposed to “play” it— because there are NO instructions!!!! **Developer response:** Hi! I‘m sorry that you‘re having problems with my game. The idea was to let players figure out how the different mechanics work after introducing the core concept in the first couple of levels. Sounds like that didn‘t work out so well. If you want to know how to play it: The goal of each level is to make all the buttons white by pressing them. Connected buttons will toggle eachother in different ways. I hope this helps and that you will give the game a second chance. Thank you for your feedback! ### 1/5 — Nutzlos... *2019-01-14, version 1.1* ...ohne Anleitung. Das Geld kann man sich sparen. Es gibt bedeutend bessere Apps für Rätsel und Gehirntraining. ### 1/5 — So Hopeless *2019-01-14* Even the usual sources online won’t do a tutorial on this one it’s such a lost cause. Beautifully designed nothing. ### 2/5 — Haphazard patterns *2019-01-12* About 25 puzzles in, the boards become a mishmash of symbols and directional arrows. There’s no overall pattern to decipher, just grunt guess-and-check work to find which magic button should be toggled first. Eventually, I just hit random buttons to see if I got lucky. Quit playing after several of those boards in a row. ### 2/5 — Too simple *2019-01-10, version 1.1* This game gets boring fast. By the 30th puzzle I uninstalled it... Maybe I’m not patient enough, but I feel like the game overall is way too easy... ### 3/5 — Example of why mobile puzzlers are often disappointing *2019-02-27* The solutions aren’t really clever or interesting, most of the game is tapping random stuff and hoping you stumble into the solution. A good puzzle should have a have a simple solution that when you see makes you go “oh that’s smart,” and the process of solving it should be centralized around a catch. But you don’t get many “wow that was clever” moments like that here, and the level design feels like not much effort went into it. Each level should have its own interesting idea to contribute, and solving each puzzle should be the player’s way of exploring those ideas. Of the few “Ah-ha!” moments this game has to offer, most of them feel as if they weren’t planned by the level designer, and the way you solve a level depends completely on how you decide to try it. When there are a countless number of ways to complete each puzzle, how can any levels be thought out fully? So although there are some moments of actual problem solving here, overall it’s not great. If you’re looking to tap random buttons, this is for you. If you’re looking for some real puzzles check out the witness... Three stars because I understand making puzzle games can be very difficult. And as a puzzle game maker I’ve made games that had similar issues. Keep trying! ### 4/5 — A really good game *2019-07-29* Not enough lvl ! I m waiting for more ... 50 lvl are not Enough for a no free game ! ### 4/5 — Smooth gameplay *2019-01-27* No tutorial, but easy enough to figure out. The game is very short, but addictive! I hope to see more levels soon! Worth the dollar for this game! 😁 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Knifflig und minimalistisch … *2022-09-23, version 1.2.3* …genau wie ich es mag, und ohne überflüssigen Schnickschnack und gänzlich ohne Werbung für nur 0,99€. Es gibt 50 vorgefertigte Ausgaben mit wachsender Schwierigkeit und alternativ unendlich viele Aufgaben per Zufallsgenerator. Das perfekte Spiel, bei dem man allmählich rauskriegen muss, wie es funktioniert. Ideal für Leute, die nicht animiert werden wollen / müssen, sondern selbst eine Lösung finden wollen. Einen Wunsch habe ich noch an den Entwickler: Es wäre sehr schön, wenn die Zahl der gebrauchten „Züge“ angezeigt und gespeichert würde. Dann könnte man sich auch noch verbessern. ### 5/5 — good *2022-05-28* good 👌 ### 5/5 — ちょうど良い難易度 *2019-01-22* 恐らく大抵の面は複数パターンでのクリアができ、少なくとも一手でも間違えるとアウトというのは無いはず。 その為、とりあえず押しながら考えられるのが良い。 ### 5/5 — Awesome game, *2019-01-21, version 1.1* This is a great puzzle game that is so simply it’s ingenious. However, the game won’t let me pass level 21 despite completion of the level. Am I missing something? ### 5/5 — Great time waster *2019-01-20* Great way to waste some time but after two times through the game I feel like bored of it because there are only 50 levels. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-01-20* I love it I read other reviews and some were bad because there was no tutorial but I figured out how to play it and it is time consuming and really fun! ### 5/5 — Great game *2019-01-20* Are you the kind of person who wants to push all the buttons? Then this is the game for you! Don’t let the lack of tutorial scare you away as it is intended for the player to figure it out through trail and error. If you still struggle with it then honestly this just isn’t for you. The only downside is that because all the levels are handmade there aren’t very many. (You better get on that dev, I crave more button mashing) ### 5/5 — remarkable, ingenious game! *2019-01-16* For me the game was kinda hard just to peek and solve but it’s worth spending time. I really enjoyed it. ### 5/5 — Love it *2019-01-15, version 1.1* I love the unique idea just as much as the honest pricing and simple UI. I think some additional background info about quantix equations and how they relate to the games mechanics would complement the experience well. ### 5/5 — Really enjoying it *2019-01-14* A really enjoyable, challenging and unique puzzle game. There seems to be a bug on level 29 though. Just like the other levels, I got all the buttons to display white but the game will not let me progress to the next level. App description says there are 50 levels... **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your feedback. Sorry that you got stuck. I made a video of level 29 for you: https://youtu.be/_UZDflOezqI Please try this solution. I hope it helps. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
