LYNE Reviews
This is our stress relief game, we just forget about everything when we play ,I had it for a long time we just dont remember when we got it . Our hand get used to all the moves. And we like it.
We’ve owned this game since it was released. Starbucks had a promotion for it to download free. Its gone on so many flights and road trips, as well as just helped us relax laying in bed. The puzzles are make our brain happy. We typically solve the more complex within about 4 or 5 tries. If we find one thats especially challenging, we step away for a bit, then return with fresh eyes to solve it immediately. The sounds are soothing. Currently on our fourth play through, on stages G H I. We will go about 6mo to a year between play through a so as to not always be just immediately repeating the puzzles. Usually enough time to forget them and replay them. Thanks for such a wonderful distraction.
Have been playing LYNE so ce it was first released. Got through the 999 levels initially but continue to be entertained with the daily puzzles when Im sleepless or just wanting to relax and take a short break.
Fabulous game thats well designed, simple and calming.
We’ve been playing this game for years! We completed all of the levels many moons ago, but we still play the daily puzzles every day, especially toward the end of the week when the daily puzzles are harder. We have to say, however, that Im a little disappointed that the point tally doesnt go beyond 999. Its a small thing in an otherwise extraordinary puzzle game!
This is absolutely one of our favorite phone games. It’s perfect for playing for a few minutes at a time while waiting in line somewhere or whatever. Hugely appreciate the compatibility update so we can still play it when iOS 11 rolls around.
We love this basic little game! Distracting challenging and has a great rhythm to it. Keeps you moving forward. Love it.
Thanks for the compatibility update! We’ve owned and still continue to play Lyne over the nearly 4 years since it was introduced in the App Store. Like all the better puzzle games, at first glance Lyne seems deceptively simple but your soon discover that it can be mentally challenging despite it’s simplicity of play. It will have your thinking cap going full blast with the enjoyment it provides from solving the numerous puzzles of varying degrees of difficulty. If you don’t have Lyne on your iOS device, we strongly recommend you download it. In our opinion, it should be ranked as a "Classic" of it’s genre on the App Store.
We play this every night before we go to sleep.
Love this game! The chill tunes that go along with it that are Really relaxing!
It’s meditation in a game. Highly recommend.
From a design perspective alone it cant be skipped. The gameplay will make you laugh and scream. Get hundreds and enlarge your sphere.
We’ve been loving this brain teaser for quite a while. We play intermittently, and have yet to work through all levels. It is one of those thinking games that helps us unwind. And sometimes success seems to come more easily when we don’t think about the puzzle so much. Thanks for the compatibility update. We were tired of iOS whining about that.
Though sometimes when we’re on 23 of 25, we wish we could get a hint. But then we persevere and the sense of accomplishment is worth it!
This is one of the greatest games we’ve ever played. The puzzles vary in complexity, but as you play you learn how to use the puzzle elements to your advantage. We love that this game isn’t timed. The puzzles are more than challenging enough to hold your interest and we think a timer would actually ruin the fun of finding a solution by making the player split their focus with a clock. Also, the fact that you can move the lines both ahead and then back to previous points without having to start the line from the beginning takes none of the challenge away, and instead removes unnecessary frustration. We love the original colors, but as you go you get new options for changing the pallet, so there’s something for every taste. We also think that the sounds each move makes are both beautiful and incredibly relaxing. This is one of those very rare games that manages to challenge the mind and soothe the soul all at once. We simply can’t recommend it enough.
Lovely app!! We always try to do our daily puzzles to strengthen our brain :) love love love this app!!!
Love this! Mind exercise while calming. Thanks for sharing!
And reinforces spatial cognition to boot!
What can we say? This game is phenomenal, it’s one you don’t get tired of. Though, the secret menu is very confusing; guess why it’s a SECRET menu, right?(; P.S. In love with you Thomas Bowker, thanks for the great game.
We win most of the time so we love the game. Even if it takes us 15 mins to beat a level. We keep coming back especially when we’re in training because we can still pay attention to the trainer.
This game truly is one of the best puzzle games! We love love love the color options while having changeling and fun puzzles! We find myself imaging combinations in our head being apart from the game! Oh-No!
When ever we have downtime or need to relax, we turn to this simple yet challenging game. We haven’t missed the daily puzzles since the day we downloaded it.
We play this as often as we can. We look forward to each daily release and the sound/music is cool! We’ve gotten to the point where we replay games, just for grins. Someday we’ll need LYNE rehab.
Excellent game. Fun to play and challenging.
This game is really a lot of fun and challenging as well ( but in a good way that’s not frustrating ) our whole family loves it.
In a long time. We love it! Yes some levels make you think, but it’s wonderful! Perfect game!
Along with its simplicity, the soundtrack of the game is soothing. There are no flashing lights or fast music in this game and we appreciate that.
This game is a great way to kick your brain into gear, or as a nice "break" from monotonous tasks. You’ll really like it!!
The varying levels keep you engaged. It can be frustrating to see how your mind’s ability to problem solve can be acute one day and lacking another.
It calms us to play. We just wish there were more levels outside the daily maps.
This is by far our favorite game.
This is great puzzle game – it reminds us of Flow Free and yet it is quite different. The careful attention to visual and sound design ensure each visit to Lyne will be pleasant.
Love this game! Very relaxing and calming. Something fun to do.
This game keeps our old dyslexic brain exercised. We can not do word games but this keeps us only toes.
We were lucky enough that Starbucks offered this for free, otherwise we may have not bought it. After playing it though, we feel that it’s totally worth the price. It’s meant to be a game that you can play to unwind just as someone would do crosswords, sudoku, or search word puzzles. We think the part we like best is that it gets harder but not so much so that it’s not fun and too much of a challenge or real thinker. Lastly, there are no in-app purchases to completely the puzzles or get the most out of the game or ads; we guess that’s the up side to purchasing it, or our case for free. Thanks Tom and Starbucks!!
Crazy relaxing, pleasantly addictive, perfect in a waiting room or in bed. Such great sounds.
Honestly, we can’t stay away. It’s all logic based puzzles and often times just because a level is "higher" doesn’t mean that it’s always harder. Some of them we solve as fast as we can swipe, while others have us scratching our head until we put our phone down and come back to it later. Worth paying for, and supporting the developer. We can’t wait to see what this guy does next.
We were apprehensive about this game at first. We love the fact that there are different levels of difficulty for each set. Our 8-year-old daughter can even help with some of them(kind of). We also like the fact that we can put it down for a couple of days, come back and figure out the puzzle. There are no time limits and you can play however long, or short, you want. Just our style. :-) Best game ever!
Clever, easy to grasp, and progressively challenging. Extremely well made.
Our husband and we both like this game. It is challenging enough without making you want to tear your hair out. Great for keeping our retired mind awake! Thanks!
Daily is the way to go.. Love the few minutes of relaxation this game provides!
Keep up the good work buddy! This game is fun and addictive (but not flappy bird addictive, where you should pull it from the App Store). We whip it out whenever we’re bored, and always get compliments.
This is the ultimate "turn your head off and zone" game. Except you have to keep paying attention because it gets trickier the harder it gets!
Very elegant design that is thoroughly addictive.
This game is fantastic. We’ve done all 25 levels on A-Z, and we’ve done all the daily levels ever since we got the game. We’re sad now, this was our favorite game. What do we do now? :( we’re obsessed with this game.
We’re so glad there are more levels!! We absolutely love this game and have spent hours playing. Great work!
Awsome!! Love love love this game! Love the minimalism and challenge!!! So addicting and so many levels! The only thing we don’t understand is the "hidden menu"…
Hard enough to be a challenge.
This game is great! It’s just the right amount of addicting, challenging, and relaxing all in one. Though we understand and respect the reasons for not supporting Game Center at this time… It would be so so much better if it was. Please add support for Game Center!!
