Ratings and reviews

AWESOME app. They nailed it with the rating system, the way they let me try a different move and it does not penalize my rating, and how it lets me analyse/play each puzzle to see why other variants do not work... superve! The adds are there but only if you want to see them and earn coins. FEATURE REQUEST - in the settings, add: "Play x puzzles for each theme" and allow to pick the themes to use from a list. It will rotate playing x puzzles for each theme selected.

This is an excellent game. The puzzles are both challenging and enjoyable. The level design is smart, and the daily puzzles keep you engaged. The graphics are simple and smooth. Overall, it’s a great choice for brain training. Highly recommended!

I love it!! But I don't like the way thst puzzles are provided. You cannot do a lot of puzzles, since the number is limited, even in survival, and puzzles start very easy. At least after the update, we can play against AI.
