Look, I love the aesthetic of the game, and the music, and everything, but I honestly don’t know how to play. I keep hitting the dots, and the corners, and looking at the numbers ant trying to light them up in sequence, but nothing happens!!! Pls help!

This game is amazing, it makes me think, it’s engaging, and it’s very soothing. At the time of writing this, I am not in the best mindset and I get very emotional very quickly. Sometimes when that happens, I like to play this game and it effectively, calms me down. The background music is soothing and it’s a very nice distraction. 10/10 game!!!

Fun game and a great time passer, great music but with the new update it removed the aesthetic of the yellow handheld and was way easier on the eyes for me the new IU is not great
- Dave222X3 · v3.0.0
Thanks, been playing 2+ years, new update finally got me to write my first ever review. this is my favorite game i’ve got on my phone. very satisfying to complete. love the new music this updaye, plus im top of the leaderboard for now. the new timer+points system is much better, but still rewards playing for a long time (i got the record by just playing an audiobook and playing while traveling) because you can get the 45 sec time pretty consistent. an idea is maybe capping at 100 levels (is it levels? boards, rounds, idk) for a gamemode so you see how many points you can get in that amount for a diff leaderboard. also, while the timer mode is really fun, i like a hard puzzle. a challenge that i’ve been doing is not allowing myself to remove the dots once placed so i actually think for a sec about planning where i’ll pace them. or maybe make one where you lose automatically if you overload a square (like accidentally having 3 dots around a 2 square). also if it was possible to hold and drag to fill in dots rather than individually clicking i think that would feel natural and enable faster times, especially would be cool if combined with a more punishing gamemode so you have to be careful. sorry for backseat developing, just some ideas for a game i’ve had a lot of fun with. -stinky

As an update to my prior review, I want to say thank you to the developer for his thoughtful, detailed, kind reply. You are awesome. Both you and the game are 10 stars. I wish you success. I’ll leave the prior review below simply for context. I recommend this game! Original review: First of all, this game is free, with no ads, IAP or data collection. So you can’t complain. I appreciate the developer doing this right. I would pay a couple bucks for this game. I found this randomly. It’s perfect for when you have a few minutes (but you can keep playing longer easily). It’s just the right balance of challenging without being frustrating. There are settings for all skill levels here. I wish the scoring was different though. I’d like it better if, instead of your score being what level you’ve completed, you’d get a score based on how many moves it took you to win in the level. The fewer moves, the higher the score. And it wouldn’t carry over to the next level, each level you’d have a different score. As it is now, if you finish level four, your score is four. Your score is the highest level you completed. But if you close the app, you start over. So how in the world are some people getting scores in the hundreds or over a thousand? They must never close the app or turn off their phone? They play 24/7 and don’t sleep? I don’t see how those scores are possible. Even if it is possible, I don’t like that way of scoring, I’d almost rather not have a scoring system at all, just see how far you can go. I do wish it saved progress. (And I wish that it saved when you turn off sounds and effects instead of turning them off each time.) So I ignore the scoring and just play a round here and there when I have time. It’s great on a short work break. The game itself is well done and enjoyable. And honestly, for free there is no reason to complain. I highly recommend it, and hopefully it will improve over time. It’s still good as is though. Thank you developer, this is an enjoyable, clever game!

This game is so fun! I love playing on the 3x3 mode, but there’s easier and harder modes if you prefer that. My one suggestion would be to add more themes, but I have no idea what they would be. 10/10!
- ChabeGuy · v2.0.3
This game is really fun. I love sudoku and this is very similar in its concept. It’s a lot easier to manage than having to note all the numbers for sudoku, but it’s still challenging enough to want to come back and play more. Things I wish this had (I’m sure there’s a roadmap of stuff though): -Timed games -Daily challenges -Being able to click on a number and see all the associated dots change color (makes it a bit more accessibility friendly) I also love the retro UI with the menu requiring you press buttons not the list items. It’s such a fun experience and I’m looking forward to whatever this dev makes in the future!
- Mac4lifelover · v2.0.3
This game is so bad the developers probably dont even like it. No redeeming characteristics, crap graphics, silly game design, lazy effort by coders.
- Dtyyh22 · v2.0.3
When I try opening it something pops up and when I close the pop up it closes the game
- Mike oxlongest · v2.0.3
I think for a while and I also read the “?” in game, but I still don’t know how to play it and what the rule is. Five star for the design!
- Jacob161 · v2.0.2
The vibes, the themes, the design, the simplicity, the complexity, this game is amazing
- Tae.Flicky · v2.0.2
A surprisingly simple yet challenging game. Very fun and relaxing with a retro theme.
- Nnv2002 · v2.0.2
I never write reviews but who ever made this game did a really good job props to you really fun game very addictive <3
- augxst · v2.0.2
I really enjoy your game, it is casual and fun in a way There is a bug where if you click on the 4 dots button, it sometimes doesn’t bring you in the game but instead the game over screen and im back to the menu. It didn’t happen a lot but it still is annoying. Anyway, nice game
- marx 3466 · v2.0.2
cool game to watch tv with, but as it stands there are only 256 possible levels, so after you beat the first puzzle and you understand the games objective, your next goal is to continue doing that as fast as you’re able to. maybe allow the center dot to be pressed in twice for more gameplay scenarios even with the simple 4 square concept, heck maybe allow every dot to be pressed in twice for a hard mode. obviously the game would need to be tweaked with minimum values and stuff and i haven’t even begun to conceptualize how or if that would work but yeah that’s my suggestion. maybe ask chatgpt
- Spoiled Orange Juice · v2.0.2
I love the game! Everything about it is really good but I keep getting an error message every time I open the app now, could you please help me? I don’t know what to do.
- ItsADuck · v2.0.2
its hard to find mobile games now a days that arent riddled with ads and in game purchases that get rid of said ads, which is understandable, game developers need money. This game has none of those, and an extremely simple interface that lets you focus on relaxing and enjoying the game itself for what it is, which is why im writing this review because whoever made this game is a good game developer who clearly cares about their players more than turning a profit.
- 7crickets · v2.0.2
Fun game, but needs option to mark off positions to help better visualize answer, plus needs iPad optimization.
- aaronkaiser · v2.0.2
This game is incredibly pleasant to play, and it’s simplicity and design makes the experience so much fun. My only recommendation has to do with scoring. I wish that I could exit the game and come back to continue the level I was on with the score I had. I don’t love that when I leave the game and come back later I have to start over. Other than that, this game is very well made and super addicting :)
- puzzle lover of all puzzles · v2.0.2
I love puzzles. It’s not too difficult but stimulates the brain. Good for when you’re trying to waste time. It’s like eating chips. You’re just giving it a taste then next thing you know you’ve done 60 levels. IN LOVE
- LifesPrisoner · v2.0.2
just recently downloaded and I got lost in this game for hours. whenever I’m bored or waiting I just load it up and play for a while. the design theme of the game makes the game take on a fun retro arcade game while still allowing for the controls/tutorial/visual and audio options to be easily found by just clicking around. the game itself is a pretty simple concept with endless configurations to solve. and dividing the game modes by casual puzzle difficulty and a more competitive wild play makes the game perfect for any type of mood. having the a top 10 leaderboard also adds a fun community building feature that can hopefully drive the game forwards. only recommendations I could really ask for is creating more of a high stakes competitive play with reduced time added for solving each puzzle, optional disruptive spells to add a wild factor, and possible look at expanding beyond a 4x4 square to larger boards or different shapes (if logistically possible) overall an amazing game to play casually and competitively, all of the design and game features really pulls you into a fun retro game
- oatbread · v1.0.5
A chill, old style puzzle game with different difficulties (sizes), options you don’t normally see in other games that make you feel like the developer actually cares about players(toggle background, music) and no glitches, ads, or micro transactions. A truly perfect game.
- Ralphy Steve · v1.0.4
I am really enjoying this, but I wish it had a option to put a mark on dots where we don’t think we need to light them up! Like in sudoku where you can put smaller numbers in. It would help a lot!! Also, more color schemes would be nice!
- Fun for all of us with thumbs · v1.0.3
Game is very cool and was enjoying but had to stop playing due to the animation in the background, made me feel motion sick. Hoping for an option in a future update to be able to turn it off completely or choose a different background.
- ladybuggub · v1.0.3
This is more fun than a sudoku. Though the 'spells' in expert mode are just dumb.
- FakimusMaximus · v1.0.3
I am truly sorry for my incompetence in the last review, I have looked just a little closer and found the tutorial, the concept is actually really fun but was just a little confusing at first. I am a person that tends to really like puzzle games and is the perfect game for me. I do suggest you make the tutorial button right under the start button so it is more visible :)
- CarrotUser123 · v1.0.3
The game feels complete. Easy to play, with a Tutorial, Easy, Medium, Hard, & Expert Modes. Only Expert mode is timed. The only feedback for an improvement would be similar to another comment I read… I don’t want different color schemes/layout options. I would just like to see maybe an option [if not the removal or significant slowing down of] the background movement. The vertical movement of the same colored dots can be distracting/tiring to the eyes when trying to play for longer periods of time. Best of luck on the success you peeps!! Overall, great app :)
- almostamico · v1.0.2
Its an ok game, seems like one of those puzzles they give you in compsci classes and they turned it into an app
- BhoozDhooz · v1.0.2
I LOVE it, except I would love to have a settings option where the puzzle design looks more modern like: black lines and numbers with a white background. Or just a settings option where you can change it yourself
- Magic242424 · v1.0.2
There is simply no reason for this game to have time pressure. Get rid of it. Make it optional. Just no.
- Eselgeist · v1.0.1
There is no tutorial for the game (and if there is one, it isn't obvious or visible enough) but after a few tries I figured out how it works and I love it a lot! It has a very simple and repetitive playstyle that's still fun and engaging, and perfect for when you want to do something but don't have the energyto play a more focused game
- dinotism · v1.0.1
Love it! It’s a simple puzzle that’s kind of like sudoku. If I could change anything, it’d be the timer. I’d like to see the timer as an optional feature versus a permanent one because I like to take my time with puzzles. Great job!
