Community Insight:
We are in love with the physics in this game. They are so captivating. We it tickles our brain so much Ive started analyzing screen recordings frame by frame to figure out exactly what the rule set is for the flow during filling. Part of our brain intuitively knows how it will work, but getting that understanding spelled out is proving addictive. We found this because they made one of our all time favorite games, Monument Valley 1 & 2. If you havent played those, they are immaculate! This game is good, worth playing, worth paying for. But Monument Valley, that game is worth paying for over and over. Its good enough Ive bought it multiple times for ourselves and gifted it to countless others. If you havent played Monument Valley, we urge you to stop what youre doing and go buy it. Play with headphones if you can.
Sorry. This isn't the free version of the game. Apparently this latest version decided to start loading ads in the middle of levels. (Without actually mentioning it in update info).
Every time we open the app, it says "Loading", and then it crashes! Everytime! Please make a crash fix update.
As a huge fan of ustwo's other work, namely Whale Trail and Monument Valley, we picked up Blip Blub without a second thought, and we've not been disappointed.
Can't stop playing this we forgot what our children look like.
Our only complaint is that we've played this game for a while and we're not sure if we really understand the physics behind blip dropping. It seems very unpredictable at times, which turns a strategy game into a guessing game.
It's a grand old time! This game is fine.
It is awesome, we're so happy to play with it.
We play a lot of games described as "puzzles" but this one actually delivers. We put this on the same level as squarescape or train yard with its originality and challenging attributes. If you like puzzle games that actually make you think then you'll love this one.
This game is soo much fun, it is very addicting. We can't put it down now.
We have had this game for a month, but only played it once before. Today we were home sick, and played this for most of the afternoon. It was really fun at first, but it gets very frustrating starting at the end of level 4. We gave up halfway through 5 bc we were getting annoyed. A hint system for the upper levels would be nice.
But the 'hold-to-preview' does nothing when there are any special blocks (toggles, reflectors, etc). It just shows the 9 blocks around the one you hold and doesn't preview anything whatsoever.
Very fun game but freezes occasionally.
Was so excited about another game from these folks but was pretty disappointed. Their other game Monument Valley is fantastic. We really recommend it. This is just another puzzle thing.
The description shows this app having a file size of about 33 MB. But once it's downloaded to your device, it unzips and installs an app topping out at (ready for this) 186 MB. We'll repeat that so you don't think it's a misprint: 186 MB. If you don't realize how absurdly large that is, we'll tell you: it's larger than many media-rich, graphics-intensive apps. (For example: "Angry Birds Star Wars", "Cut The Rope" and "Road Trip 2" are all less than 100 MB when installed.) How does a simple-looking colored blocks game get to be that big? We don't know, because we deleted it right away — but our guess is that it was either poorly coded, or includes a bunch of mystery features that aren't mentioned in the description (hours of music? Videos? Holograms?). Either way, if you're concerned about app sizes or storage space on your device, please take note. The developer should really reexamine the contents of this app, and at a minimum — include a disclaimer about the file size in the app description.
Wholesome, clean fun for girls and boys.
Simple, somewhat deep gameplay. Kept us occupied for a while and is easy on the eyes and ears.
We like getting "ah ha!" moments. This game gives us many of them.
Like we said, live this game and love this interface.
Unique puzzle solving. Good game.
The Try Again button seems to be jacked up with this update. You have to press it a few times before it responds.
Death tiles need to come in later.
Love this puzzle game. The low risk high reward gameplay is very addictive. We also love the minimalistic art style and the atmospheric music.
This game is an incredible puzzler. A simple yet original concept. A word of warning though, it is HIGHLY addictive. We are stuck on 7-15, any help out there.
Our new favorite puzzler on iOS.
Awesome game! We've been waiting for this for a long time. Interesting puzzle, and the whole thing is highly polished and oozes love.
This does not pass the grandma test, think about redoing the tutorial. Shane.
Pretty good game, although we're a little unclear on how a blip fills the tiles. Walls block blips from flooding certain rows, but if you place a blip directly behind a wall, the blip still fills the rows above and below the wall, even though it seems like it should be blocked in that direction. Also, this game doesn't seem to work at all on our iPad 3. The screen doesn't ever update in response to our touches. For the dev: simx [at] mac [dawt] com if you want to contact us.
