*** Featured as "App of the Day" on the App Store! *** Thinkrolls Space is a child-friendly puzzle game that’s out of this world. Colorful heroes boldly roll where no Thinkroll has rolled before, in over 200 mazes set across seven unique planets. A cast of oddball aliens will make you grin from ear to ear. But you’ll need brains and nimble fingers to reach your goal—and catch the waiting UFO that will beam your Thinkroll to the next fun-filled planet. CLOSE ENCOUNTERS Thinkrolls and Thinkrolls 2 introduced our revolving heroes. Thinkrolls: Kings & Queens added exciting new concepts—and dragons. Now Thinkrolls Space blasts the award-winning series into outer space. You’ll meet goo monsters, bleeping robots, spring-like soprano aliens, and cheese monsters who love munching moon cheese. You’ll face vanishing rainbow bridges, plasma fields, teleporters—and more. Each of these can help or hinder. You must figure out which—and how to move and match objects to clear a path, get the key, and open a gate to the next level. REACH FOR THE STARS Two difficulty modes and unlimited penalty-free retries ensure the 200+ level journey is stress-free for children and adults alike. Along the way, stars and hearts can be collected, and later used to unlock 24 unique alien Thinkrolls. Throughout, players are encouraged to experiment. They will learn through trial and error to combine elements, and build on successive lessons to strengthen creative thinking, logic, problem solving, spatial cognition, and memory.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Thinkrolls Space holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thinkrolls Space has 3.4K ratings behind it against 82, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Thinkrolls Space's written reviews are positive against 100% of Look I'm making it up!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Thinkrolls Space ships an update every 8 months, Look I'm making it up! every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
