What's inside the box?

Hands down one of the best games I have ever come across. I liked how the only time you had to deal with ads was when you wanted to use a hint... normally I wouldn't praise an app for using ads to give hints.. but unlike all other apps I’ve used that FORCE you to watch the entire 30 to 60 second ad and penalize you for clicking off early (by not giving you the hint).. this app doesn’t; there is about a 5 second countdown before you can click off the ad to get your hint. So props on that. I did however end up buying the premium version because there were a few puzzles that I found a little too difficult and I wanted to skip them. So paying $3 to remove get the ability to skip a level is not asking too much at all (plus it removes the "hint ads"). [Possible Spoiler]: My one and only criticism for this game is that one of the early levels requires you to click on the circled question mark (?) on the top right hand side in order to solve the puzzle and once you do it sends you back to the main screen, a little annoying. All and all this is my favourite game yet... great job to the creators.

Puzzles are about discovering the mechanics specific to that puzzle. It's mostly done well, though some concepts repeat a bit too often for my preference. If you've played any of Bart Bonte's other games, you know what you're in for. There is one major drawback for me; sliding tile puzzles. They feel like a departure from the discovery style of the other puzzles. They were a frustrating disappointment every time they came up.

Brilliant game, but yesterday it hijacked my phone I got this game last year and it's beautiful - a great combination of artistry and puzzle design. I hadn't played it in probably 6 months. Yesterday I was rearranging apps on my phone (including for this game), and later I noticed that the full screen of my phone was taken up by an ad from this game to upgrade/buy something. The game's logo was on the screen. It was extremely difficult to leave that screen or use the phone in any way.

Very enjoyable game! A good balance of easy to solve/I've-seen-this-mechanic-before puzzles and let-be-think-about-this-for-a-little puzzles. I do wish the hint process was a little more extended. After basically being told the answer on the second hint fairly early on, I've been wary to hit the button twice. It's possible that's not the case in later levels.

Very nice game. Not plagued with ads. Like red, yellow, or other games. Hints not terribly useful. Overall solid and worth getting. spoiler below. Was completely stuck on level 14. it says follow the symbol. looked through reviews to find answer - who draws a 6 like that? given that you could start from anywhere, it feels too random. Minor nitpick in a fun game.

I have played all of the Bonte color games, and liked them, so I thought I would try this one. Overall, I liked it. Some levels were super easy, while some were fairly challenging. One or two made no sense to me, so I had to cheat and look up a solution. I like that the ads are not obtrusive, and only play when you ask for a hint. Good game.

Some of the puzzles are pleasantly challenging, but others can wind up being needlessly repetitive. Also, way too many sliding-tile puzzles; after the first (not counting the trivial 2x2 ones) they're annoying enough at the best of times, but when there are multiple layers in a single puzzle it just gets absurd.

Good puzzles in general. 100 puzzles for free, and not tooooo repetitive. The green square light button puzzles are a bit frustrating, but maybe I just don't know the trick to them. Would have given 5 stars if it weren't for ALL OF THE SLIDE PUZZLES. I can't be the only one who thinks slide puzzles are terrible, even if you know the tricks.

This game is flawless!! Reasonable ads (only when you need a hint), great fun puzzles, not too hard, not too easy! Really a great game!! Oh and don't mind the people who say the game is frustrating... They must be really stupid, the puzzles are actually fairly easy and the hints are very helpful.

always enjoy your games. Lots of fun to play the game. some levels are really tricky which is the favorite thing for someone who like to solve puzzles. can you guys make whole puzzle boxes like a 3D simulator/model or something (referring some famous puzzle boxes like cryptex or something) that will be super interesting to SOLVE ;). Once again thanks a lot for the game. and until next time... I'm gonna go play BLACK ;).

Super fun game! Loved it! Very "out of the box" thinking lol. My favorite levels are the ones where you need to rearrange letters or number 43! That was very tricky but that's what makes it fun! Great work to the creators! The n in e on e on e level was awesome! Whoever thought of that has got to be a smart one^^ Any chance anyone knows if level 99 is a real game and what it's called? I found it fun to play around with but can't find it anywhere.

I'm loving this. it's both casual and engaging. frustrating to get stuck, then satisying when i get it. i like the simple design that's kinda the same for every level but kinda different. i like the way you integrated ads - you deserve to make some money and you have ads without throwing them in my face.

Very cute, challenging puzzles that make you think outside the box lol. A different mechanic on every level! For everyone who reads reviews for the same reason I do: there are only ads if you ask for them with hints, and even then they are short and skippable, which is a straight 10/10 on game making in my book. Definitely playing more from Bart Bonte!

Good puzzle game. I only played the first 45 levels but I wish there was more variation in the puzzles provided. The hardest ones were the switching lights. I only got past those through luck. If it has more than a hundred puzzles I'd pay the full version.

Bart Bonte games are reliably good. This one is no exception. There's an unexplainable quality to them. I can always count on a level of difficulty that challenges me, but not to a ridiculous degree (I needed hints on about 10% of the levels in this game).

Usually BartBonte gets a 5, but there are only so many "solve this multi-layered slider puzzle" levels I'm interested in playing, before it becomes more tedious than fun. The puzzle isn't new and curious, just harder. My partner likes this style more, though, and I still enjoyed most of it.

Yet another fun puzzle game where some levels are pretty easy whilst some can be pretty challenging. Overall the game is a little too easy, but that's a welcome difference from those that are deceptively hard and take ages to complete. Worth a go from anyone that loves puzzles.

Great game to test your problem solving abilities. Saw people had problem with only level two, not sure what the issue was. Just take a break and come back later if you cant get through it the first time. Overall a really good game if you want a challenge.

Love these puzzles but I can't get past level 3 because the ball won't move when I tilt the phone. This feature still works with other games though so I think it's just a glitch. I saw in another review that phones without a gyroscope have arrows to move the ball so perhaps having that as a backup for phones with them would solve this. Like 3 hints then you get the arrows maybe.

Game is fun until you get stuck on this one level that's not even a puzzle its just hard to do it right, and since I'm not going to pay to skip the level. I'm just gonna delete the app :/ I'd recommend changing the level.

Was almost completed the game when I was stucked at level 98, then I tried looking up at youtube and follow the exact guide, making the word BOX, but i can't get pass the level, tried several times and still can't complete it, is there a bug? (Love the game btw, also completed the colour series)

This is less a game of puzzles and more a game of "Guess what I want you to do". Most of the levels are just pushing buttons or turning knobs to guess at what the goal is, rather than something that requires critical thinking or reasoning to solve.

This game was great. Have to take different approaches to each level and was well done with how new levels would sometimes build off previous ones. Also, the use of different control styles at times was nice.

6 STARZ! I love Bart Bonte's games! Hints are available after short ad, but there's no other ads. The first hints don't give away the whole puzzle. If you like unique thinking games, this is a good one. So are the rest of Bart's games. Watch out though. They're addictive. I'm hooked.

Thank you Bart! I haven't written a review before, but I had to say that your games are my favorite puzzle games I have played so far. I've downloaded yellow, red, black, and the box and finished them in 3 days (which I probably shouldn't have done as I have exams soon) but thank you for making them and I can't wait for any new ones you come out with!

Love it but wish you had a skip option. Been stuck on level 2 and about to just delete the game because of it. I can never get the shapes to line up not to mention its 2 layers. Gets very irritating

I really like this game but I don't like the sliding puzzles. I am stuck on level 72. Maybe if you got rid of them and replaced them with something else I would've gave this game 5 stars. Otherwise really awesome game, keep it up!!!!!

Excellent puzzles! A delightful mix that has me flying through levels one moment and stumped on one the next. I do hate the slide puzzles, though I have a better understanding of them now after playing this game~

I wouldn't recommend this game for two reasons. 1) The "hints" aren't constructive, helpful hints. 2) Certain puzzles are repetitive and only increase in difficulty. This does not make for a fun, challenging puzzle experience when the player is bored and frustrated. You may also have to consult YouTube for walkthroughs of levels and that's not fun in the slightest. For anyone getting into puzzle games, I would advise you avoid this one until you enjoy frustration and anger, with no help at all.
