Hear from the Players – minimize Reviews
Find out what gamers are saying about minimize:
We love this game and find it very relaxing and provoking at the same time. But it really needs updating, the developers need to keep introducing new levels, otherwise its really not worth the cost.
This was a very fun, relaxing game. Our favorite kind of games are untimed puzzles and this totally delivers. We strongly recommend it. Note to players, and the game designers if they read this: about halfway through the game, we figured out the trick and almost all levels were trivial after that. Not saying what it is. Also, we completed level 140 and the game just ended. No fireworks, no extra levels, no Luigi, just back to the home screen. Kind of weird.
This one is easier to just swipe with less strategy than some of their other games. Whether that’s a plus or minus depends on your style.
Our new favorite – logic puzzle, brain teaser, whatever you want to call it. Elegantly simple – perfect.
Nice, thoughtful. A bit frustrating to get stuck and not be able to advance to try another level. And we don’t see a map to skip to a level instead of tap tap tapping one by one. But otherwise very very nice design and playability.
This is a seemingly simple game at first. You move the colored tiles around the highlighted playing field, in order to match the tiles of the same color to remove them. However, the big difference is using strategy to predict where the tiles will move to. That’s because they ALL move at the same time to the edge of playing area, provided the way is clear. Almost like Tetris meets Chess! We wasn’t going to download at first when we saw this in the app store. Glad we decided to take a chance on this quick time killer. It’s not too deeply involved that you can’t take a break, but it surprisingly draws you in and makes you want to complete the level. It will also help your brain by making you think ahead to visualize your move and where the tiles will land. You can reset the tiles if you made a mistake but you can’t cheat. (Other than maybe Googling a walkthrough.) we like the soothing synthesized piano music which can be toggled off. The only issues we’ve found so far in the short time it took to level 20; The reset button area is sometimes difficult using. We’ve had to touch it repeatedly to work although it does play the recognized clicking sound. We totally agree with others that there should be a way to change tile colors for those players who are color-blind, like us. (At least we got it on a day it was free.) As hard as some puzzles may seem when you can’t figure them out, you soon find yourself frustrated that the solution was so simple in the first place. Hopefully you will enjoy this as we have. We’ll gladly update this review if the color option is addressed.
Using on iPad ios3 – works beautifully, but we’re stuck on level 7! So interesting, such a simple game can be so challenging. Love it. Any chance of some hints?
Visually appealing with just the right amount of challenge and plenty of levels to keep you entertained.
We love this kind of sequential thinking puzzle – kind of reminds us of a higher fidelity version of a game we had on our first LG flip phone back in the day… Our only knocks on it would be that the difficulty ramps up inconsistently, and holy moly, some of these levels with like 23 shades of pink! Definitely adds to to the challenge, but seems unnecessarily difficult at times. If you have any degree of color blindness, we think you’re out of luck.
Simple and nicely done. But you won’t get far if you have trouble with color subtleties!
Can’t get past "headphone recommended" screen . Tried tapping the arrow, sliding our finger the direction of the arrow. Tried waiting for a bit. Still doesn’t work… Hmmm.
App won’t open in 10.3. Stuck on "Headphones Recommend"
Way better than we thought it would be. A nice game that is definitely worth checking out. Yes it is $3 but it’s still an amazing addictive game.
Minimize is a great game. Simple to learn but challenging to master. You’ll learn the controls in a couple minutes and spend your time playing!
Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish the colors from each other, but cool fun gam that’s simple an addictive. Thanks for making it!
Love it a wholelot. Not stressy, and music is very calming. Two thumbs up.
So we bought this because we were on the phone with our girlfriend and she said she saw an app called "minimize" that looked like fun, but it was $3, which she didn’t have. So, we decided to buy it on our phone that way she can play it whenever we’re together. We decided to play it a bit myself and we have to say we are loving it! It’s a great fun little puzzle that really makes you use your brain. Yes, it is $3 for something that might seem pretty simple, but it’s not ALL that simple and it’s definitely a lot of fun. We highly recommend this game for anyone who just wants to relax and enjoy a friendly game.
We were having a lot of fun playing this game until we got to level 30 where the colors are too similar for someone, who like us, is colorblind. We can’t play past this level unfortunately. It would be great if there were symbols on each tile.
Lovely game- very meditative! Levels get more difficult, but are never overly frustrating. Unfortunately there are only 100 levels! Feels short for a paid game :/
We’re colorblind, so certain levels are impossible for us to complete due to the colors appearing almost perfectly identical to our eyes. An inclusion of symbols or optional colorblind modes would be appreciated.
Another great game from BorderLeap. The game starts you off nice & easy. Then continues to add difficulty without ever getting too hard. It scratches our puzzle itch.
Minimalist art, chill music, sliding block puzzles… Nice, but nothing ground-breaking here. A decent time-waster. $3 seems pretty steep, though. Three things that bothered me: 1) UX — smarter reset: if you accidentally get down to one block, regardless of how many other colors there are, you should be shown the reset button. Dont make the player have to click to get it to show and then click again to reset. That gets old really fast. 2) UX — some of the later puzzles are REALLY easy compared to early ones. As in, two (obvious) moves. 3) UI — The start menu is a click-type interface (although it shows arrow-type markings) and thats completely counter to the spirit of a sliding-type game. Just slide to start ( or allow both, for goodness sake)!
For $3, we expected a much more interesting game. The graphics are very simple, and levels don’t change in appearance or color. It advises the player to "Keep the Sound On," but there was no soundtrack, only the clinks as the cards slid together. We’re very disappointed. We might have been content with a free game, but $3 is a ripoff.
We love playing this game! It is fast and makes you think. It is also frustrating when we get stuck, but frustrating in a good way that feels so good once we solve the level.
