Stop me!
Sat Apr 07 2018 oldnewtimerI downloaded this game because I was curious about these type of challenges. I’m pleased (also frustrated!) with my progress. I often play it for escape and relaxation...until it’s two hours later, I am obsessed and can’t stop. Augh! The ads weren’t that annoying but I upgraded anyway and now I don’t know how I could have put up with them. I, like many others, was being driven mad by not being able to get to the edges without my control screen coming down but this latest update seems to have fixed it so thanks to the developers. I’ve really barely scratched the surface and it’s worth the extra few bucks. That dorky music though! Seriously, it is dorky. Haha. I turn it off then sometimes find myself missing it (why??) 😆 so if I’m in the mood I just keep the volume very low.
Great... At first.
Mon Feb 12 2018 CedartheTreeTo start out, I’m not the sort of person who normally writes reviews unless I find an app either extremely outstanding or severely flawed. I’ve only every written 2 other app reviews in my life, both of which were positive. This one, however, isn’t. I love the idea of this game, and the simple aesthetic it presents. However, once you finish the first three or so levels, the shine begins to fade. Frequent, unskippable ads after every level; unresponsive controls, and lag all plague this game. The ads I could normally deal with, however coupled with the fact that most levels are nigh-impossible to complete due to the unresponsive touch controls, this app quickly fades from a fun game to a hellish torture method. I found myself making the same shape the hint showed again and again, but because of how unresponsive the touch drawing controls were I literally couldn’t complete the level.
Even with all of the drawbacks, I’d happily download this app again if these issues were resolved.
TL;DR: Fun for the first three levels, then it loses all appeal. Unresponsive controls and constant ads make it more pain than pleasure to play.
all fun and games till.. :)
Thu Jul 10 2025 _radicaL.9awesome game there, but i tried buying the 3.99 $ to create levels or whatever how much it costed, but it didn’t work, i tried again and it still didn’t work, 2 turns into 3 times, 4 into 7, still no sign. please help fix this because it’s been very difficult trying to get the level creation menu (i swear im not bankrupt or in debt) but overall, i can’t call this game terrible. you deserve the 5 stars, but.. the community levels are glitching and i have no way to deal with it. when i try to click on a community level backgrounds and chaos appears. developers, please fix your game.øoüšū*‰çįª

Fun idea but too difficult
Sun Jul 30 2023 hxhduydhduheuehegdhddufysydgdI got to level 25 while only needing a few hints but once I got to level 25 I could not get it completed within the time limit. I watched an ad to get the hint and I even tried drawing the shape from the hint on my screen to get the exact shape I supposedly needed. Even after tracing the exact shape that was supposed to get me 3 stars in less then 1 second I still couldn't get within the time limit. I eventually had to just give up because I had spent at least 5 minutes on this one level. If you are going to make a time limit on a level to get all the stars it should be possible. This level seems impossible to complete and they will only get harder. I would not recommend this game especially if you are looking for something fun. I get having some sort of challenge but this was simply too difficult. If you enjoy this game that is fine but to me it was so stressful and difficult that it almost made me cry.
Addictive and challenging!
Thu Jul 12 2018 ArudyjI rarely write reviews, however this game is so great that I had to leave a few notes. 1. It’s addictive, in that fun I want to tell everyone about it way. 2. The challenges are great for anyone who has a brain and can be patient enough to try multiple different solutions. 3. I love the unlimited retires without ads. All games must have ads, but this one limits them in a vey tolerable way. 4. And lastly, I have never had trouble with lag, it works great and without flaws on my iPhone 8. My only two suggested changes are that 1. I could challenge someone and 2. I could play this in real life or on a big screen! Great job developers, I gotta get back to level 59 now :)
Awesome game when you disable iOS slide menus!
Sat May 02 2020 Garrett FogerlieVery fun, some levels can be tough but if you need to you can get a hint. Lots of levels too, so it’s plenty of fun! A great free game and not many adds compared to most games plus it’s only $1.99 to remove them and be able to make your own levels. Lots of player created levels too. It’ll take a long time to win them all! One tip, on newer iPhones go to Settings - Accessibility - Guided Access and enable it so you don’t get those slide down or slide up iOS menus when your playing (just click the power button 3 times once you enable that feature so you can block or unblock those menus.) It’ll make gameplay almost perfect!
Unique and innovative
Tue Apr 03 2018 hooded goatMy fianceé and I tried this game. We got so hooked we played and beat every level! Some levels are insanely hard and you have to be crazy-stubborn. When we finished we searched high and low for another game like it. Nothing comes close.
The game got extra interesting once we got to the parts where you can only draw in certain parts of the screen. Even better when floating, anti-gravity, bouncing and slippery ice shapes get introduced.
Anyway, please please please make more levels. Maybe add a new mechanic (sticky shapes?). Even if you just recycle the same game mechanics, make more game so we can keep dorking out on it.
Could be a good game
Wed Nov 21 2018 Anopinion8The game is fun at first and I love the idea behind the game but after the first 10 levels the game starts to lag/glitch and it gets worst the more you advance! The most annoying thing is that many times I complete a level but the game glitches and doesn’t register that I completed the challenge! After spending some time trying to complete some levels (I have made it to level 37 with three stars on each one) it is very frustrating to finish a level only to have the game glitch out on you and not let you finish! I am the type of person that hates to quit especially if there is a good challenge but I reached a point where I will be deleting this game and never download it again because its one thing to not be able to complete something because it is difficult and it is another thing to not be able to complete because of glitches!
Loved it. Time to delete.
Sun Feb 26 2023 jesse.331Downloaded. Beat all available levels. Deleted. Redownloaded years later. Beat all available levels. There’s occasional frustration with figuring out certain levels but it’s mostly really enjoyable. Don’t personally care for the community levels (they just don’t seem as well thought out). The app has been sitting but it’s time to delete. I will likely redownload in a year or so to re-complete and maybe there will be a few more levels. I don’t know what goes into making them but I’m happy there’s at least the 200. Thanks.
Excessively thick lines and ads yield a ‘meh’ rating
Sun Jun 10 2018 aisleseatI love physics puzzlers, but just like the first one I downloaded and soon deleted, this one can’t really be played on a smartphone because the line width is too thick and there’s no way to design some really creative solutions; just use big blocks, fulcrum sand brute force to knock things over. Still, it is a lot of fun determining an elegant or simple solution to each problem. Best played on smart tablet with a pen-shaped stylus, like the iPad Pro. And the ad frequency is nothing short of extortion. When are developers going to learn that people like paying for better versions of their apps, but do not like paying for the right to enjoy an app they selected among all the other apps to play.
