Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Ive tried other games similar to this, but this one is the most enjoyable Ive tried. We like the mechanics and the various play options. Its challenging without being frustrating. It looks nice too and uses almost no battery. And even though there arent many ads, we still paid immediately to remove ads and support the developer for making a good game and monetizing fairly. Thank you.
This game has soothed and focused our too-busy mind for years, and we still love it.
We played a game like this years ago not sure when Im in our late 60s so have no idea if it was on a computer or on paper we just knew we loved playing it. Im so happy to have found this game. It is so much fun and the game is so smooth plus you can gets hints and there arent many adds. We just cant say enough about it. Congratulations to the developers for a totally awesome game. We would give it more stars if they would let us. Thank you again for this game. We love it.
Close to the game SET, and addictive.
Great game but why cant we play it in landscape mode. Our great case cannot support the mode its in. We have to lay iPad on our lap and thats NOT what we want to do.
We've played Set for years. Was thrilled to find this version as an App. This is not a game to take lightly. It improves thinking.
This game is just as much fun to play as the classic, addictive game of Set. Since this game is free, it is actually better than Set. And that is saying a lot because we never thought that anything could be better than Set. Cover the ads to avoid the distraction while playing.
Good game. Close to set and not many ads. Good way to practice.
This is a great game but the ads are ridiculous. The ads are more than just annoying pop-ups, but are also indecent and NOT safe for children.
Very entertaining and like the challenge of the different levels. Much better than the Set app. Our son and we played the card game Set and we're excited to see an app when it came out. But it failed to meet expectations. This app is good fun.
The colors and patterns make this better than Set! We wish it had multiplayer mode.
We had a head injury previously and love playing these games to wip it back in shape.
Enjoying playing set on our phone, especially since the official set app is not too good.
The concept is easy but that's where it ends. We thought it would be easy but you really have to watch how you make your matches. Really fun.
Well done. Simple, clean interface. This is a great game.
This is much better than the official SET app.
Fun brain game. Very similar to the game Set. Challenge yourself.
Few changes with the new layout, just more aesthetically pleasing. No bugs, game plays great.
Good game! We are enjoying playing it.
We've been playing the old version of "Combinations" for a couple of months and am totally addicted to it. When we saw that version 2.0 was available, we were concerned that the game might have had a change in overall concept and we were hesitant to download it. Sure glad we updated! It's even better than before. New graphics and slick gameplay. If you need a quick challenge for a few minutes, the easy mode is perfect. More time on your hands, try the medium mode. We have not tackled the 81 blocks yet. Highly recommended.
Helps their brain, and a quiet game. Love Set, happy to have found this app.
This app actually works unlike most of the other set game apps in the App Store. Strongly recommended.
There are very basic rules about what constitutes a combination, but it is still a challenge. Quick thinking equals high scores.
This game is fun and challenging. We can't get over the nagging feeling that it's actually helping our brain to work in ways it normally does not. No bugs or issues this far.
Our algebra teacher introduced us to this game and we can't stop playing it.
Great game. All ages can play. Makes you think. A hint is provided if you get stuck. Programmed well.
Perfect…love that it tells you how many are actually find-able, with the card game you miss too many! Great thinking game.
Get it. It's confusing at first, but you'll grow to love it.
Challenging and entertaining. Great diversion.
We love that it tells how many combinations are available. Too many hours spent playing. A great toilet game.
This is a great game it's the 2nd best thing since sliced bread, and maybe TV.
We love this game! Our Math Teacher let us play his game sometimes on our smart board. We recommend it. It makes you think before you tap.
Makes the ole grey matter work. Good game.
Awesome game and is challenging.
This is a good game to occupy oneself for hours.
Easy-to-play version of the card game Set. Relaxing but mentally challenging.
Love this! Reminds us of a game our top students loved in our junior high math class. It really makes you think!,.
Tricky, but good brain exercise.
Mentally challenging and fun! Good way to work our brain for a couple minutes that's fun.
We are so trying to learn this game as this app is really nice to do just that. You can remove the ads for $1.99 and a big THANKS for being able to do that. Thanks to the developer as this is a nice app.
