Features: - Intuitive gameplay - Unique puzzle combinations and excellent graphics - A large number of elements - An ability to buy an ad-free version - Hint system with extended hints that helps to create new puzzle elements "Great Game Great concept and interesting game. Only negative thing I have noticed in the short time I have played this new version is that the ‘void’ where you discard elements is literally right next to where items spawn in when you click them. This means when you drag another item on top if you are not accurate it will be deleted in the void. This issue could be easily resolved by simply spawning in items slightly left and down from the void instead of right next to it. Other than that really great classic game, runs well no crashes so far. 5/5" - by Brendansw1 "Great app Not all the combinations seem logical to me, but I don't think this is a disadvantage. Sometimes you just need to think outside the box to create new elements. This is the puzzle, not a chemistry textbook. The latest version of the game is love. No bugs that I faced some time ago. Great job." - by Dyd101010k Any feedback? Contact us at support@nyblecraft.com
