GlowGrid – Puzzle Game Review
GlowGrid is a Puzzle/Board game from Zut Games Ltd, first launched in 23rd May 2014.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 67+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes GlowGrid Stand Out
Glow Grid is a hypnotic, retro puzzle game
• Deep, open-ended, strategic gameplay
• Gorgeous neon retro pixel graphics
• A relaxing, dreamy 80's synth soundtrack
• Multiple game modes
Place an endless series of shapes on the glowing, neon grid. Match groups of four or more tiles of similar colors to remove them, opening up space for further play. Fill up the power bar to clear each level. Match bigger groups, or combos of multiple groups at once, to get huge scores!
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 Glow Grid!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game doesnt get enough love. It has been on our phone for years and still just as addictive today, as it was when we first downloaded it. We havent even gotten around to trying the newer version because this one still has us so hooked. Try it- you wont be sorry.
Humble, slightly jank, and an entertaining match-puzzler we got it to crash after filling the board with Panic Mode blocks.
This game is so loud and if you dont turn the sound off before you begin to play, you cant. It also has flashing lights which is awful. We get migraines, we dont need that kind of trigger on our phone. It also POORLY replicates chiptunes and what it THINKS is an 80s vibe but gets it all horribly wrong. Deleted.
This is a fun time waster. We have tried to pay (to remove ads) a couple of times, but we failed miserably each time.
This is our favorite game. It's relaxing and challenging. There's nothing bad to say about it.
This is the 2cd. Time we paid for this game and we hope you fixed it so we never get any advertisement again. So far the game Glowgrid is doing O K. We've been playing it for about 2 years. . Florida U S A.
After a few plays it starts hesitating between screens. The hesitations get longer and longer until we have to delete and reload. Good thing we could memorize our high score. Because we don't know if this is caused by the ads that load between screens or if it is just the way the game works, we can never pay for it! If we pay to get rid of the ads, it might not help. Too bad, the game is really fun. We are addicted, and we would buy it if it just worked right.
After an ad the game's timer from the last round carries over instead of reseting, and after a good number of levels it becomes unstable and prone to crashes the more level you clear in panic mode.
Sound is very irritating. Settings will NOT let us turn sound off. We finally deleted the game. We like quiet.
We played this game constantly when we first got it. Now we play several times a week and still love it.
This game is keeps us busy when we are bored,,,, Over all it's amazing,,,.
We love this game. It's simple but fun. We're Loving playing this game.
We appreciate the challenge and no technical glitches… =).
We've spent way too much time with this game. Definitely worth the $2 IAP upgrade.
We have this game on both our iphone and ipad. It is hard to put it down.
Addicting, fun and relaxing. Reccomend to all.
The update wants money to pay for our full version. What do the developers think they are doing ? Charging for a game you already have! NUTS.
ONE BIG PROBLEM with this app. After purchasing the full version, it keeps asking us to buy the full version. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but keeps asking us to buy full version. We say OK Buy full version again and it says we already purchased the game! If this glitch was resolved we would give the game high marks.
We don't normally play video games but this one caught our eye and we love it.
If you want to spend time doing other things in your life then don't download this game.
This is a fun game. It is something that keeps your mind going.
Went looking for a game that we could play while listening to other things – something fun but not terribly mentally taxing. The later levels definitely get harder, but all in all it's pretty much exactly what we were looking for. We love the vintage look, and the fact that we can pretty much put it down when we want. Not a huge fan of panic mode; we'd just as soon play Tetris :) All that said – well done app writers: A+.
Love the gameplay and graphics – wish that it had achievements or more exciting reasons to play it other than beating your high score. We don't think it's worth the 2.99 for what it is now even though we like playing it.
This is a great time killer.we did buy full version . It would be nice if you did have leader board.please update. This game has potential to be really great.
Fun game and good time killa. After we played it for about an hour, the colors started talking to us. Well, back to the game.
The game is absolutely amazing and addicting, but the reason we didn't write 5 stars, is because after you reach 1000+ score in any mode, it just stops and asks you to buy the full version, otherwise you will not be able to continued, we got 1000+ score in casual and panic modes on the first try and deleted the game because we will not pay money for a game like this, so greedy and unacceptible.
Really enjoy the concept and visual style. Would go for the full game if it unlocked another mode of play. Nice work.
Played panic mode… Reached the end and noticed NO name entry, no highscore table. Dissappointing. AT LEAST add a top 10 highscore table with user names. Not worth playing until that happens.
