Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
App will not be compatible with future versions of iOS. Is it possible you can update the app.
Probably will not work on iOS 11 or future hardware.
Don't let its simplicity fool you – this game gets devilishly hard. Very satisfying when you beat the later levels but does get to be borderline impossible. Your perseverance will eventually pay off though.
This game at first seemed fairly easy, even though it was in the impossible section of the App Store. Then, around level three or four, it gets extremely hard! It literally makes you want to pull your hair out. Great game, easy code.
This game is very polished in terms of presentation – graphics, sound, guidance, mood. The concept itself is largely mundane. Some levels are mildly amusing, many are simple exercises in chaos, chance, and opportunity. We played through 30 levels or so which was more than enough. For five minutes you think "cool!" after which you are done.
This is driving us nuts, this game is so awesome and every time we beat level 30 it stays stuck on level 30 and never lets us do 31.
It won't let us play beyond level 30 even though we've beat it numerous times!! Such a shame, we enjoyed up until then.
We get very bored very quickly with games on the iPhone. This is not one of those cases. The concept is so simple yet constantly changing. Great job.
Finally iOS 8 and iPhone 6 friendly. Been playing this game for some time now. Great and quick pick up and play feature.
This game is unbelievably beautiful, frustrating, and challenging! We only wish it had more to it.
Fun game, but it's easy to get stuck on a level and frustrated. We're glad you can skip levels though. Definitely worth the money! Thanks a bunch.
Brilliantly simple, creative game that had us immediately hooked. It's perfectly challenging.
We don't know what to say folks. Yes, it's $4.99. Yes, it's light on instruction and high on frustration. This game is simplistic beauty! Easy and difficult at the same time. Dexterity and intelligence are requirements. 2:05am and we have to be up at 5:00am but can't stop playing. Do yourself a favor…don't buy this game…but buy this game! SERIOUSLY.
Can be really challenging at times, but overall fun. Plus so easy to understand that it's genius.
Hope there's more than a hundred levels. Already halfway through, and it's only the first day.
This game is in a class of its own. Minimalistic, smooth, and intelligent. You are thrust into the midst of the game with absolutely no directions, expected to learn the rules of the game simply by participating and using your own intellect and deductive reasoning. That's how most modern games work, and if you're familiar with games on the PS3 or XBox, you'll have no problem figuring out how to work in the Hundreds universe, which changes on each progressive level. There are occasional word puzzles throughout the game that require you to reorganize the letters to solve it. We've only solved half of one (only began playing today) so far. The soundtrack is awesome, btw, and we're so happy some smart, progressive-thinking gamers decided to make Hundreds. Thank you.
We get it. The minute we did we felt so clever and now we're addicted. Get the grey to 100 but don't let them touch. It gets complicated with the integers show up. Bravo makers let us "get" there and enjoy.
At first we thought it was stupid…. And then we thought "Oh, it's actually kind of cool," then, "Wow this is fun!" to "Whoa this is really hard." It's definitely some kind of new age hipster-style game that we can't really compare to anything else. It's a patience puzzle.
This game is AMAZING. We can't stop playing it. It is incredibly simple and we got the hang of it quickly. We don't love how there aren't many instructions, but we figured it out quickly. Other people might not.
We do not understand the funny messages that come up from time to time. Could someone explain it? Maybe an update to tell how.
This game is the most challenging but yet simple to master at the same time it helps with thinking and also math equations overall best game we played to date and we recommend this app to anyone that loves challenges.
Really fun! However, it won't allow us to advance to level 31 after beating level 30 several times.
We really like this game but its really hard to stop playing once you start playing there is really no end some of the levels we get confused with and there is no directions to the game so you kind of have to figure it out on your own. It seems very simple but it does become challenging. Overall we think this is a great game if you are looking for a challenging game but yet still at the same time is a simple game.
Learning each level by guessing and trying to build on past levels is a challenge in itself. Just enlarging bubbles up to 100 would be boring if it wasn't for this challenge. Now that we're at level 100 we want an acknowledgement and the answers to the scramble letter puzzles. Got nothing! Oh well, maybe next upgrade.
Neat concept and nice presentation, but as the title says… Kinda irritating, not really enjoyable.
We got this app based on the good reviews. The game concept is rather simple and we started to get bored with it after the first 20 rounds of play. It is a very well polished game app and perhaps others will enjoy it more than we.
The minimalist art style is beautiful. The core mechanic of holding your finger on circles to grow them is clever and satsifying. We enjoyed the early, easy levels, when things felt loose and dynamic. Very quickly, though, the levels became scripted-feeling puzzles where we had to figure out the trick, or where there was so much going on that it all felt random. The loop of constant failure cancelled out the initial charm of the visuals and gameplay, and we lost our willingness to play.
Very challenging and addictive. Seems to have frozen at level 90. Help, we would like to advance.
It's a very nice game. Good concept. It just won't let us get passed level 40. Doesn't matter if we even go and replay each level it still won't let us. Was looking forward to the harder levels, guess we won't get to play them.
We've beaten level 50 a few times, but it won't let us play level 51.
We bought this based on the good reviews, and because we like logic games, and games with originality. This game is original, and we liked the presentation and soundtrack, but we felt the gameplay was more tedious than enjoyable, and didn't actually require much thought. We hate to leave a bad review for any app, because we know the kind of work and creativity most of these developers are putting in, but for $5 we were honestly hoping for more. We've spent more on apps than we care to admit, and rarely feel as though we've wasted our money, but unfortunately this is one of those times.
This us a fun and addictive game but stuck on levels 40, 80 and now 90. Very frustrating to complete the level and not advance.
Used to be a great game, now a total heap. Save your cash. Running latest iOS 7 on iPhone4 S. Crashes on EVERY launch. Garbage support.
Many better games are out there for half the cost or less. This was a huge waste.
If this was a 0.99 game it would be OK, but at $4.99 it is a ripoff.
We paid for it and downloaded it but it won't open and won't even show up on our home screen. We tried uninstalling and redownloading it but still nothing happens. How do we fix this.
Fails to progress past level 20. We've beaten it just fine a number of times. Such a waste if this is not fixed. It's been months.
We have absolutely no idea what we're supposed to do? Why are there no instructions on how to play this game.
So stupid and boring.this game shouldnt be worth more than 1$.
We love logic games and thinking games but we just don't get this one. There are no instructions. Is that the point of the game?? You have to figure out "how" to play each round?? There should be at least a statement or two to let you know what you should be doing.
After installing today's update, reinstalling, rebooting, etc. – the app still DOES NOT go past level 20. Please fix.
We completed all 100 levels and still can't stop playing! Wish there were more games like this that you can play over and over because of the variations.
This game is awesome. We've almost got all the levels.
This is a fun game! We only wish they had some instruction on how to play. It's rather hard to learn the rules by trial and error.
We were going to do this a hour ago but we were to busy playing it. We love this game it is perfect for us. But we can't seem to get past this one level. Any way we can't get off the game. Ever since we got it we couldn't get off the game because its the best app EVER! We can't seem to get up because we LOVE IT!!!!! We tell our our no because we couldn't get off the game hundreds.
It is a challenging game that makes you think as every level gets harder.great fun.
Clean design, simple yet challenging gameplay, with creative puzzles. The unspoken multiplayer is really fun. Even taking the price into consideration, this is one of our favorite puzzle games on the market.
Jonah is up to level 90 and loves the game. He's a bright kid obviously and he just figures out how games work while we haven't a clue (and we're also very bright). Kids these days are just a lot quicker to figure this stuff out than us old fogies. He doesn't complain or criticize the maker – he just plays the game! Maybe it helps to have a bit of Asperger's like so many nerdy nerds. No problem installing and running on our iPad mini. Hundreds is worth the $4.99 price absolutely! Bring on more levels! Thanks to the folks who made this wonderful game.
Simple, effective and a lot of fun. A keeper.
Interesting, clever and overall very fun game! The design is absolutely stunning! Challenges the mind but not in a frustrating, overly taxing way. Deceptively simple at first, but increases in the level of difficulty as the game progresses. It's mesmerizing. We love it.
