GlowGrid 2 – Board Game Review
GlowGrid 2 is a Board/Puzzle game from Zut Games Ltd, first launched in 5th November 2018.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 134+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes GlowGrid 2 Stand Out
A new strategic tile-matching game with an old school 80s arcade feel.
From the award-winning independent studio behind I Love Hue comes an entirely new take on the classic tile-matching game, with neon pixel art and a synth soundtrack.
Place neon-coloured tiles on on the board. Match groups of four tiles to clear them, or match larger groups to multiply your score. Consecutive matches amplify your scoring power! As you progress through the levels you'll have to think more and more carefully to avoid running out of space. But you'll also unlock new tiles, power-ups and bonus pieces to help you master the GlowGrid!
IMMERSIVE
With no timer and featuring beautiful arcade-influenced artwork and an original synth soundtrack, lose yourself in the soft neon glow of the game.
STRATEGIC
Plan your moves carefully to build up massive scoring combos!
INFINITE
The game lasts as long as you can keep spaces available on the board. And with an automatic save function, you can drop in and out of game play as you wish!
FEATURES:
- A retro aesthetic influenced by iconic 80s arcade games
- An original synth soundscape inspired by the classic Yamaha DX7 synthesizer
- Beautiful pixel art with a rich neon palette
- A clever twist on the tile-matching genre which encourages long-term gameplay and strategic thinking
- A global scoreboard – compare your top scores to players from all over the world
- Infinite gameplay with no timer – the game will last as long as you can!
This Board game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
The game is very good we dont understand what the difference between some of the special bricks but the graphics are good the game is good and it makes sense and calms us. We love it and we love all the games made by the person who made this game we do this thing where if we like the game we get all the games made by that creator and we liked we love hue which made us so happy when we played and the games made by this creator they are all awesome.
This is legit the best game. We normally get bored of games after a week or so, but Ive been playing this consistently for months now. Its so simple that it actually helps us focus during boring meetings and the like, but challenging enough that it doesnt get old. It runs smoothly and the ads arent too bothersome. Its perfect for a distraction when youre waiting or have the urge to play on your phone while on a zoom call, since without text it doesnt steal your focus from listening.
This is a big improvement over the prior iteration of the game. This sequel saves progress at all times (the first one didnt). Also, its visually more pleasing (though the first one was fine). This is fun to play when you have a few minutes, and you always want to play a little longer. The fact that it saves progress at all times makes all the difference for busy people like us. Thanks for a great game. We immediately paid to remove ads to support the developer.
Its been five months since we wrote the first review. Could you 1-PLEASE FIX THE NEW GAME BUTTON. 2-PLEASE CONSIDER ADDING ROWS OF SQUARES TO INCREASE THE PLAYING FIELD A LITTLE. Thank you for your time. We played the first version quite a bite and really enjoyed it. So when we saw it had been updated we downloaded it immediately. The only real difference is in the size of the playing grid- the older version is 10×10 and the new one is 6×6. We liked the larger size. You can play a more complex game and get larger scores. If we could change anything about this game we would change the playing grid to 8×8. The 10×10 was a little bit too small for phones, but the 8×8 would be perfect. Great game though, especially for puzzle fans. Also, the new game button at the top of the screen isnt working. Could you please fix this.
When we exit out of the game and then come back we cant put the cubes in the grid it keeps on crashing and we downloaded the game again but it does the same thing again.
Since we just bought it ,it's wonderful without all those crazy ADD's. Now it's more fun found this game in the App Store . On Nov. 9, 2018 Barbara from Florida ,South west, more exciting than "Glowgrid 1 " thank you for this great relaxing game. We are 73 yrs. Old.
