Community Insight:
We play all the time when Im bored and can play for hours.
We got an itch for a 15-puzzle sliding game and tried a few. This one has the most responsive controls and excellent options – different sizes, several trophies, leader boards, puzzle from photo (and choice to tile-ize the pieces). Everything just works, its very smartly designed. Thank you.
Great game, and we love the description where you added ads.
We loves that it has four different levels. The ads are present, but arent annoying or for stupid games and are mostly over with in five seconds. We dont know what the creator of this game was thinking. The easiest level is by far the hardest, and the expert level is the easiest though takes a while to complete.
We like how there are different tiles and levels, but hate the ads, If you put ads in less frequently, we would rate this 5 stars.
At a certain point there is no more challenge because it doesnt score you based on the difficulty of the random setup, only the number off moves to complete. Some setups easy, some much harder, obviously.
Thatotherguy105 got every single time on the same day and no matter which type of puzzle, he got the record 1 second. This is not only impossible, but obvious that he was cheating. His scores have been there for years.
This is a 9 puzzle, not a 15 puzzle. By default the game started in a 3 by 3 configuration. We did not see a setting which would allow us to change to a 15 puzzle configuration. August 2020.
Kudos for being up front with the reason for the upgrade. At the same time, we hate having though adds to get to the reason we launched the app. What to do? Given we cant remember the last time we played this game, we will be doing what we usually do when adds are inserted. We will delete the app.
This app is really clean and fast so we can speed solve. Our times are easy: 2.0 seconds, medium: 19.95 seconds, hard: 1:32.5, and expert 1:08. But we have a question, when we go to achievements and then game center and then leaderboards, we see a Pro and Extreme mode which people raced on so we have to ask if we have to buy the no add pack to be able to use those modes? Thank You Very Good Game.
Only 9 tiles. We will keep looking for a classic 15 puzzle. You have to unlock the 15 puzzle by doing the smaller puzzles first. What a pain.
Best app out here! It has some great puzzles and it turns great! This is perfect for when we're really bored. Everything turns great and the quality is fantastic. 10/10 excellent work.
Sent an email as the in app purchases weren't working for us. Got an immediate response. They fixed it right away, we were very impressed. Anyone can say they are in business when everything goes right, the true test is how they handle when stuff goes wrong. These guys aced it.
Looks great, plays great. Best sliding puzzle game on the App Store, by far.
Too slow for speed tiles, it'd be good if the just moved by tapping but you have to slide it all the way, not even a swipe.
The sentence we wrote in the title says it all. Thank you for an excellent rendition of this game.
We wanted 15 tiles not 8. If someone can help please feel free to.
So simple, so addictive. Just like the game from our childhood. Perfect.
No iPhone 6 support the buttons don't work can you guys please fix this we loved this on our 5.
We are addicted to these types of puzzles. We solved easy in 7 sec. Medium in 39 sec. Hard in 1.55 sec. Expert in 2.59 sec. We are going for all the achievements. Thanks for letting us use our time in a fun way that challenges our mind.
Options to play certain difficulties, different tiles, very fun.
We currently hold the top records in all catagories, step up ur game people.
We love this game. We are incredibly addicted. There are so many different ways to change up the same game to keep it challenging and fun.
Pretty self explanatory. Works great, hasn't crashed on us yet. Expert level took us 17 minutes to complete and is SUPER hard, but our favorite is medium with 15 tiles. The checkerboard coloring is great, and you can also use your own photos. 10/10 would recommend.
This is the 15 game we were waiting for.
By far most customizable tile game out there.
Love this game! We think we are getting addicted to it. Nice app.
This game is exactly what it says it is. Very fun.
One of our favorite games as a child. Great mind workout, encourages practical reasoning and feeling of accomplishment when done. Our kids even enjoy it.
This app is just like 15 puzzle chalenge but only harder and easyer levels.
Your basic number puzzle. Easy functions. Fun puzzle.
This app. Is excellent, bring memories and fun to your free time.
We love this app, it's the only third party app we use every day. But, our only disappointment is we can't upgrade to the pro version with Game Center support within the app. It's the only big feature that's missing :).
Love it. Keeps our mind active. Fun for any age.
This app is great! Our record is 28 seconds! What's yours.
A really enjoyable game to have to pass the time away.
Our favorite game put free on an iPhone with more options and creative versions than the real thing. We got high score on the local leader board for all of them.
The game plays exactly like the old classic we all grew up with! Get lost in this game – its that addicting and designed for all levels of puzzle lovers.
Only complaints are: 1. Very very slight lag when sliding tiles at higher difficulties, but barely noticeable. 2. Restricted to square setups only (no rectangles for pictures). Other than those opinions of ours, awesome app! Extra props for the thousandth accuracy in timing and the leaderboard.
This app is awesome we love playing it.
Great game. Love playing. We cannot get the hint button to work nor can we enter our name for high scores.
Just update the graphics…it's just very out of date but not retro.
We got this app since we love 15 puzzles and we're still trying to break 8 seconds. Unfortunately, we can't access settings or leaderboards because the buttons aren't there. At all. We don't understand what horribly designed app would do this. At first we thought the add was covering them, so we turned on Airplane mode, but when the ad went away there was nothing beneath it. We're very disappointed.
We played thousands of games on our iPhone 4 in this app but now we don't want to play at all!!:( The options are missing and we so badly want to change the sliding option for tiles!! Please bring these back or fix it please.
We're not sure we have ever removed an app so quickly. Not dangerous but just worthless. Not good for IPad at all. Most importantly, it is not class 15 but classic 9. If you can get 15 squares to show, it must be buried deep inside. We don't need classic 9.
Moving the tiles is easy. Great way to revisit your childhood.
Absolutely love it, can't put it down.
This app does credit to the classic 15 square puzzle. And then takes it a step further.
The app is very simple to use, has some fun variations and generally well done. And the ads are not annoying like in other free apps. Overall great app.
Easy to use – really great tile game – love it.
