Good casual puzzler
Jan 14, 2018 By Mr.MasterPotatoI can now say that after my previous issue of low speed being fixed this game definitely deserves a five star review, the puzzles can seem cheap at times, especially the one that can trap you in a death, however they never get to the point that they’re frustrating or too hard to be entertaining, and with the speed problem I’ve previously addressed fixed it’s very easy to recover from a mistake, I definitely recommend this app to anyone who needs a good puzzle game (Also about my first review, after seeing the developer’s response I think I should point out that I said this should be a free game with ads since they wouldn’t disrupt the slow gameplay by much, but with the update I think this title works great as a paid game) more -
What a workout for my hand eye co-ordination!
Jan 4, 2018 By MifmasterThe other’s reviews were correct by saying this is very addicting! If you get frustrated easily this is NOT for you. The first few rounds of the game are easy to figure out but when you have to use more then one or two fingers on the screen at the same time doing individual tasks, it becomes stressful. That is until you get it within the time set forth. I still enjoy the challenges of each new round, while enjoy the complexity of this game. Also, a very good workout for my brain! Thanks! more -
Good game
Sep 30, 2022 By sviehiegyvayleCan't get past level 19, I get stuck in the bottom left corner Update: Two fingers works, thanks! I didn't think of that. Still might be better if the single box didn't get stuck like that -
Great game!
Jan 5, 2018 By jmedina1567It’s a fun game and addictive but what I feel is the best part is the developers. The time it took then to respond was just stellar. One way you can distinct a good game from a bad one is how much the developers are trying to fix it, and that’s what this game shows. more -
Irritating controls
Jan 3, 2018 By vicky_buddyI have to disable multi-touch gesture in iOS setting to play this game. And then the more fingers it requires to control the dot, the laggier it gets. Plus, moving there boxes with the dot is a daunting task. The boxes float away diagonally, instead of moving horizontally or vertically. Thus, instead of giving me enjoyment, this game is causing me stress and irritation. more -

Fixed a software bug which affected gameplay on latest iPads:
- the finger doors which required 4 or 5 fingers conflicted with iOS Multitasking gestures.
This fix will replace the 4 and 5 finger doors with 3 and 2 finger doors on those levels.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for sending those emails, which made me understand the issue which was there. And please keep them coming! If you find any issues or if you have feedback, send an email to support@jppiiroinen.com or leave a review comment.
Cheers,
JP
Fixed issues based on customer feedback.
- the dynamic pieces did not behave as expected. They were moving diagonally, when the expected behaviour was horizontal and vertical movement.
- performance issues on older hardware. The physics models are now more optimised. There was a software regression on the code and I apologise for the inconvenience.
I am more than happy to fix any bugs and issues which you find, you can also contact me via email support@jppiiroinen.com or leave a review comment. Hopefully the fixes above helps you to enjoy the game in more detail.
Cheers,
JP
