Not a put you to sleep app

I was looking for something to relax the brain and mind. This game, though most enjoyable, is not a just before bed Ap. This is a great game for exercising the mind. I find it very stimulating, it forces you to think of clever ways to solve the conundrum.

The only thing I have to suggest is after a player has solved the puzzle, allow us to see how others solved their challenges. I have a curious mind and wonder if others used the same method or was their solution different.

Thank you for developing such a clever game. I look forward to many hours of entertainment.

Calming to the Noisy Mind Through Logic

I love the simplicity, and yet the complexity of each puzzle! It is based on particle physics. The graphics are just amazing! I love how challenging the puzzles are, and at the same time soothing to my brain. I like, that this game lets me think outside the box for the solution. I am glad, there is no clock to beat. I like to read the Chinese proverbs at the end of each game. It is great for anxiety and to calm the mind. Before I know it, I am more mentally balanced. I also like the music. It is not irritating.

Relaxing but Challenging

This game is literally the perfect balance for a game. It’s relaxing and pleasurable, but challenging enough to keep your attention. I’ve enjoyed every moment spent with it. Was well worth spending to get the extra levels. I played until I had a perfect score on each puzzle. Thank you for a fantastic game.

This game is amazing!!!!

This game is very meditative and the music is soothing. Also at the same time this game challenges your brain and mind to problem solve to complete each game. Remember, If you mess up or make a mistake, it’s okay because it’s only a game and you can press the restart for that level. You don’t have to start all over again.
There’s something very satisfying, like a release of anxiety when you solve each level. Like seeing each tiny piece of sand being collected.

Thank you for no ads

I hate ads. I’m not interested in free games that make me look at them, ESPECIALLY a game that is supposed to be relaxing. I just finished the free season of the game and as soon as I’m done with this review will be buying the rest. If I had been forced to watch ads, I don’t think I’d feel the same. It’s reasonably priced, and it is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for this game :)
