Love This Exercise by Ginger Peachy "This game is very Zen. I play all the levels and then start over. Beautiful colors." Cool game by CancaoDeDeus "I love this game! It starts easy but progresses through more complex levels but not at a frustrating pace. I love the fact I can skip levels and then come back if I want to try later. I even started the whole thing over. Excellent." Love this game! by Dee215 "I am addicted! I have to hide from people when the game updates because I can't be bothered until I clear all the levels. Nice way to unwind after a stressful day." Great mind game by Kantokahsdid "I love to play this right before bed to get my mind off things...

" Awesome by Navajo "It's a tongue twister for your brain." Serious fun by Mary "This is the best puzzle app I have found! It was a fun and enjoyable challenge to learn how to rotate the discs to solve the puzzles. Please make more levels asap! Also more types of puzzles like this!" Excellent game by R.Edd "This is one of the few games I have on my iPhone and iPad. A "quick" game you can pick up and come back to anytime. The touch interface is excellent, and while the graphics are basic, the game itself is excellent." Really fun!!! by Li3303 "A great game! Copy the color pattern in the sample circle by turning the rings. There's one black empty space. You push the arc you want to move onto into the empty space then turn the rings to reposition it. It's like one of those number 15 puzzle games only with a circle, arcs and pretty colors." Great game by XterryX "Really a great game I didn't think it was hard enough but I was wrong. After the first puzzle it started to drive me nuts I LOVE this game." Arcs Puts New Spin On Puzzling by AppSmile "The game truly meets it's goal of becoming a quick and yet immersive puzzle game. Overall Pomegranate Apps really impressed us by their adaption of the tile game as well as the precision and yet simplicity of the game." More levels please! by Boggle Fan "This is an awesome app! I am on my second run thru the puzzles and I love the simplicity and bright colors."
