Noodles! is back and better than ever.
Noodles 2 has more puzzles, more challenges, more fun, and an even more zen experience.
Noodles 2 is a relaxing puzzle game that will leave you feeling stress-free while strengthening your noodle. It's a very friendly kind of puzzle. You don't have to come to it with any sort of knowledge beforehand – just bring your brain.
One simple rule: Tap the noodles to rotate, and connect all the noodles together to complete the puzzle. That's it!! I guess that's two rules…
You will soon discover a calming sense of order and the rush of satisfaction at a connected puzzle. Now if only all life's puzzles were as straightforward…

Community Insight:
We just finished this whole game. Yup, that's right, all 21,000 levels. We earned 5 diamonds on each level, a total of 105,000 diamonds! We finished the first noodles game maybe 5 or so years ago and when we found out there was a second we were so excited, bought it immediately. Our goal was to never finish this game fast, it has taken about 2 years, we just play it whenever we have down time. We genuinely cannot express how much we love these games. We don't even care that these games cost $2 cause there are no ads! We will now be downloading the first game again. From other reviews it seems like your progress is kept even if you delete the app, and we do think you should be able to restart progress.
Huge fan of v.1. This is a proper, appreciated upgrade. The addition of the triangle puzzles, undo button and zoom feature are awesome! After writing our initial review, we started the "+" packs. We were sad when we finished them all because it was even more fun than the originals. We were going to update our review about how good the "+" packs were… Then we started the "challenger" continuous puzzles. We're about lv 25 in and love it. Such a brilliant way to step up the challenge. There's countless hours of fun in this brilliant game.
Im begging for noodles 3. We think it would fix us. Alternatively: let us spend our 20k points on a customizable theme where we can pick the colors :) and also add more medium hexagon levels cuz theyre our favorite please and thank you.
Super relaxing. Good bedtime game.
This app has nice, clean puzzles that we can go to for a couple of minutes of distraction.
We cannot get enough of this game. Well worth buying the full version. It has been our go to game since we downloaded it. The perfect balance of thought and zen great for a relaxing game. Some things Id love to see added: – ability to know how many moves you have already made, and star level monitoring during game play – sync across devices – a jump to feature for non-5 star levels when you complete a level – ability to lock tiles, once you get to the higher levels, its easy to misclick! Overall 5/5 – highly recommend.
We love this game for when we're getting tired at night. It's engaging, but relaxing, and very satisfying. We just wish there was a way to turn off the scoring/stats. We don't need that stress, we just want to make the pipes fit together.
Ive been playing Noodles for ages on our iPad mini, but it cant update past iOS 9.5, so we couldnt get Noodles 2 until we got a newer iPad. Just downloaded it tonight and we love it! Not willing to give up our Noodles, though! Im keeping BOTH. Excellent app, well worth the money to unlock all the levels instantly! If you havent downloaded it yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Get it. Get it now! Youll be glad you did.
Please add a feature to lock tiles or mark certain tiles as solved. With the larger puzzles it gets hard to remember which ones we know for certain and which we simply havent looked at yet. The current UI is like having a sudoku, but all the tiles are filled with random numbers annoying to have to re-solve parts of the board in our head, just to figure out what Ive already done. We dont think this is supposed to be a memory game, so give us the tools to remove that pain point! Still 5/5 game, and could be even better – would definitely purchase all extra content if you added this feature.
Great little game, easily worth buying the full access. One thing feels missing, though. It would be really great to have the ability to lock tiles youre sure about, visually marking them and stopping you from rotating them. Maybe by long-pressing? Would make solving the bigger puzzles a lot more fun and satisfying.
A straight forward, intuitive interface to the game of Pipes. Love it.
We love this game. Its so relaxing yet mentally stimulating, and it appeals to the part of us as a human that strives to make order out of chaos. Its a really well-designed game: pretty to look at and easy to interact with. Also, it has cute congratulatory statements every time you complete a level. Our own parents may be disappointed in us, but we always know that Michael the developer is proud of us.
Simple, straightforward, easy to understand (without consulting a lawyer ) privacy policy. Dont collect personal data. Love. The game has a wide variety of levels and challenges that make it engaging and we havent run out of things to play on any of them yet. Highly recommend, its great for stress relief and the different difficulty levels allow us to adjust for when Im feeling a challenge or when we want to keep things slow.
This game is the perfect balance between challenging your logic and doing something mindless just to occupy yourself. Ive never really found any mobile games that we enjoy enough to play more than once or twice – other than crossword puzzles or other word games. We think if youre the kind of person that likes those types of games, youll enjoy this too. Its a nice visual companion to all of the word games. Nice sounds during gameplay as well – satisfying and kind of therapeutic lol. Id like the option for haptic feedback as well! Either on every move, or maybe just when you make a connection to an activated section, and it lights up. Anyway, great game – give it a try.
We Love this game. It's hard to explain but with each puzzle it combines the satisfaction of completing something with a sense of journey and discovery. Great job.
Ive spent countless hours over the last 6 (?) years playing Noodles mindlessly, so we immediately noticed the icon for Noodles 2 when it was added. We of course downloaded it promptly and bought full access to support the developer and because this game has meant so much to us for so long! No regrets. Things we love: – More puzzles – Flexibility with puzzle sizes (Large isnt just 12×10, for example) – Extra challenge with the + modes – Especially infinity mode, it totally messes up our mental solving algorithm so we have to really sit and think before moving anything. – An undo button!!! – Zoom! Things we dont love: – No visual indicator on the main menu of how far through a puzzle collection youve gone. We always lined up the indicators in the original Noodles to do the same number of each difficulty. Now we have to go into the level selection menu to see that, and there are many more collections to go into. – we earned 1000 diamonds in only a couple days, which may be a us problem, but Id love more color sets or other rewards not that we need any motivation to keep playing. – Triangle puzzles. Theyre both too easy (so few piece types and orientations) and too hard (weirdly shaped, easier to make accidental moves in our opinion). No constructive criticism here, just not our cup of tea () Anyway, we still love it and am confident that Noodles 2 will be a fidget toy for us for years to come just like Noodles 1 was. (As a side note, we emailed the dev shortly after starting to play the original and got a very friendly response about how some of the internals work. We had just begun our undergraduate studies, and now Im a professional software engineer time flies like a noodle.).
We love almost everything about this game! The flawless design, different challenges, levels of difficulty, and several styles for peak entertainment. The ONLY qualm we have is there is no lock feature. We cant tell if Ive placed a piece correctly or if it was like that when we entered the game. With a lock feature, we could hypothetically long press a piece to lock it in place so we know Ive adjusted it and found its correct position. Otherwise, we end up getting frustrated because Ive run into dead ends because we cant keep up with all the pieces Ive adjusted vs the pieces that were positioned originally. Otherwise, this would be our favorite game in history, and trust us, we play a ton of games. Thank you anyway for this incredible game.
We love both noodles games and have been playing the original over and over for years. We cant find a way to clear progress on noodles two so that we can play again. Even if you delete it from the device and reload it automatically goes to previous progress with no choice not too. We want to be able to delete progress and play again.
Im only able to do the simplest version of this game and Im stuck on the Large level 14 for a week. The original Noodles had hints, but this has none. So, sadly Ive only been able to play LITERALLY 13 games. We dont understand why they removed the hints. Sometimes, the hints help us get better because we see where we went wrong and we learn something for the next time. UPDATE: After 7 days of trying to solve level 14 we succeeded. Hints would be nice tho.
Loved Noodles so much and this is an incredible follow-up! Theyve added really intriguing elements that makes some of the puzzles much more challenging but they havent messed up the zen quality of the puzzles by adding timers or other stress-inducing elements. We dont want to beat a timer or compete against others. We just want to solve challenging puzzles. Theres still wiggle room to get 5 diamonds if youve accidentally over-rotated a piece. The new zoom capability is awesome especially in the bigger puzzles! Noodles and Noodles2 are in our top 5 favorite games. Kudos to the developers for taking a game we absolutely loved and making it even better! Bravo.
We liked the new concepts as well as the noodles feel but we wish we didnt have to pay for the rest of the levels. Still a 5 star based on the levels we could play though.
Pros: Same Noodles fun as the original New modes at least look neat and add a new layer of challenge without needless complexity Cons: Was not apparent that we only get five puzzles from each category for free. We wouldnt have minded as much if say small squares was fully unlocked and all the fancier stuff needed to be purchased. This should be made clearer in the store description.
