Ratings and Reviews
Just one problem
I love the mechanics, the puzzles, the sounds, the visuals, all of it is incredibly pleasing. The only reason I don’t like this app is because of the ads that pop every couple levels. I understand you need to make your money but having ads pop up all the time when I’m just trying to play the game really keeps me from being able to lose myself in the puzzles. If there was another way to make money off this app I’d love to see the change. Skins behind in app purchases, options to watch ads for extra content, whatever. It’s just jarring to see an ad pop up every two levels and takes most of the fun out of a beautifully simple game
A pleasing game… to a point
This game is simple and pleasing, at first. Just align the bars and they fade away with a nice chime. Very nice and basic. The problems come later when you face a puzzle that is seemingly impassible — where you simply cannot get all 6 or 7 bars to align no matter what approach you try. You either spend an hour trying or you give up and move onto another game.
The game offers no hints or any way to skip past a frustrating level, so the impasse you will invariably reach reduces any fun or relaxation you had to that point. I don’t know how many total levels there are in this game, but I made it to level 183 on my iPhone, and there I am stuck. I simply cannot beat the level, and I have spent hours trying. This has tempted me to uninstall the game, and I hate to do that with games I enjoy but have not completed. _-_ is a good puzzle game, but the .
The other gripe in my review is that there isn’t a way to remove the long-playing ads that roll between levels, which greatly remove you from the tranquility of the game. I’d gladly play $0.99 to get rid of them.
Puzzles?
This is honestly such a bad puzzle game. It's well made, looks nice but is so insanely one-dimensional. Like wow. Basically you're supposed to get all the lines in a row but some lines affect other lines. But this doesn't really force you to come up with a strategy. All it does is encourage you to keep moving the lines toward the middle until they line up. Super boring. I think the concept of the game is just inherently broken. For example if one line is moving towards the middle and another is moving a little in that direction as well, you just have to keep shifting them until they line up. There's no trick to it, there's no learning new techniques, no unique obstacles to overcome. Just mind-numbing scrolling. The idea that lines would make a chord at the end was a nice thought. But the missed opportunity of making the lines change pitch as they moved so that they would eventually sync up into a pleasant sound was physically painful. I only gave two stars because it at least worked.
