### 4/5 — 面白い！

*2024-02-14*

簡単なルールで◎BGM◎全体的に満足！！２点だけ個人的意見を述べさせていただくと、砂をかくとき、カチカチと言う効果音ではなく砂をかく、リアルな音だと尚◎それと、50レベルから、数字の上が後戻りしずらくなるので、戻るorリセット機能が欲しい。その２点だけを除いては、かなり楽しい！！

### 4/5 — リラックス一筆書き

*2022-10-28*

石庭の波紋を作るように、一筆書きするアプリです。和風の琴BGMを聴きながら、リラックスしながらプレイできます。レベル40あたりから難易度が増します。50でギブアップしました。
ヒントは広告を見ると得られます。課金による広告除去がないことが惜しいと思いました。

**Developer response:** 評価とレビューありがとうございます。公式ホームページに回答が載っていますので是非参考にして下さい。ステージ50以降は2回通らないといけないポイントが登場し難易度は増しますが、その分砂紋も複雑化して見応えありです！機会がありましたらまた遊んでください！

### 5/5 — Simple, fun puzzles

*2022-03-06*

Nice pixel art, pretty easy but fun puzzles that gain difficulty enough to hold your interest.
