Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We always liked this game, its nice to find a simple version. But this version is also very pretty.
If we could turn the repeat color off it could be better.
Im enjoying this game. Its simple yet it makes you think and strategize.
Great game. Looks good. Easy to play. What would be great if this had 2 player like the board game.
Love the different levels. Brush up then tackle the difficult.
More options than regular Mastermind. And you dont have to pay to play. We recomend.
Once we decide a colors position, Id like the option to hold it there for all future moves.
Simply the best free version with the most features available now. Small ads stay on the bottom. In other versions, video ads either randomly take over the screen or they force you to watch a video ad to play one game with one more slot.
We wanted to improve our play and this really helps.
Downloaded two others but this one is way better! Only small banner ads and tons of different modes. No limit on how many games.
We love the colors and how there is a kids mode this game is really fun.
The simple design and straightforward nature of this game is a breath of fresh air! Well designed, fun to play, a great pick up and play game. Wouldnt change a thing. Also, a game under 20 Mb?? We were starting to believe that we could only have games above 200 MBs now lol.
Aesthetically pleasing and modern. Only gripe we have is too many game options. Id much prefer just a classic and hard mode.
A challenging game that really teases your brain. We like it. And no annoying ad.
They should make a new more complicated version. Like 6 slots or somethings. :):):):).
Clear, fun, not many ads, wish allow more guesses.
Nice play. Easy access to color choices. Nice to have numbers too. One change we would like, to have the option of leaving a space blank. We also wish the cursor didnt automatically advance to the next locus.
Minimal interference with playing.
Title. Only negative is its either not possible or not obvious to quit a game early. If Im wrong, let us know :).
We played this as a kid. Found the app after surgery & its really helping us to keep our mind sharp & present. We were happy to see it still around & even better with options & no way for you sister to cheat.
Its great – we get to play and we are not killed with advertisements.
Great strategy game! Enjoyable to play.
It helps with logic, you will get better over time playing.
Once a color is picked for a position, only lets you choose another color for the position and doesnt let you revert back to he unpicked state for that position.
Free mastermind game. Love that there is an option for 4 distinct colors.
Always makes you use your mind using the power of deduction.
Very straight forward. A great puzzle to pass the time.
Simple interface; but challenging. Exactly what a mobile game should be.
Simple, fun game that is easy if you know the right method of guessing. We like the number option since we have a hard time differentiating the colors due to color-blindness.
The hint colors are too hard to differentiate. Also we would like the ability to choose a color spot and not be forced to select them in the specific order.
The "hints" in bright green and bright yellow are almost identically looking. This makes playing it next to impossible. Or at least needlessly complicated. As of now, total fail.
