I love the idea and like the game play. The app is a disaster. Cannot create an account, cannot login, must play as guest but only able to get to lvl7 before game starts showing a server error and will not load any levels. Plus there are misspellings everywhere, quiz questions are terrible. Game is played in a tiny area while rest of screen space is wasted... Really unfortunate execution of a cool idea.

seems okay, needs a colorblind mode, I would recommend just adding different patterns or shapes inside the circles to distinguish them better. I can't tell the difference between the green and orange.

two stars because I know the program is really really cool, but the app totally disables the "soft" keys my phone uses to exit the program or switch apps, so I can't navigate away at all. i had to restart my phone to switch from the app! Very bad bug for a very exciting piece of software.

was playing the game, having a great time, and even managed beat the top score on one of them. unfortunately I can no longer connect to the servers for some reason. I even tried reinstalling the game.

So small! Looks fun but it's too small to play on a phone. I'll have to try on tablet. It would be better with zoom and a way to set vertical orientation.

I have so many questions. Why do some dots have X? Why does that X disappear when i touch it? Why can't i rearrange lower lines a few dots to side but otherwise in the same paralelle possition to make some space for lines above without losing points? What are whose grey collored lines at the bottom and why do they sometimes change color and sometimes not? Why sometimes i match the top line to the one under as well as it gets but still don't have enough points for the next step? Why?

I want to love this game and contribute, but the UI covers the entire top row of the game so it's literally impossible to play. It also covers the last bottom right space of the game board. I'm so sad.

I likethe game but cant register. It gives red bar but no guiding error message of what correction will progress the play. Will raise stars once updated or i solve :D

The game pieces are tiny on a smartphone screen, hindering playability..otherwise it could be a good game!

Awesome game consept, but the rating system is sometimes confusing and the app is laggy and a bit buggy.

Unfortunately this game is very buggy. 95% of the time it fails to reach the server to load a level.

Never lets you do anything but tutorial. Always says it cant reach there servers, but why do you need to be on their server to play a game? Are we doing their work in reality so they can do other stuff?

I can't play more than 10 min, or right now connect at all. It can never reach the servers.

I really like the concept, but I can't seem to load level 16 on my Galaxy Tab A or Galaxy 8 phone.

Eri. D. Jul 31, 2019     

Started playing and was enjoying it, but now it keeps saying it cannot reach the server.

Nice game. Only minor complaint is it needs a grammar check.

annoying controls on small devices.

Can't reach server at lvl 13, can't create profile.

Whole new game since I originally reviewed. Great changes!

Raz. B. Dec 12, 2019     

The control doesn't work most of the time. Have to swipe about 10 time to get one, and also hard move only on one step. Needs zoom in or something. Edit: It turns out this app is not optimised for the mobile. I hope developer will consider to do that. The purpose of game is great, just needs improving to be usable on mobile.

Helping science playing? Awesome!
