Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Since we found something even close to Rocknors Donut Factory. Im so happy.
These games are excellent! No ads, no IAPs, just basic puzzles with a fun design and engaging concept. The game delivers everything expected. Absolutely brilliant.
Game runs smooth, simple design and game play. Would be great for any kids studying engineering, coding, or tech.
Clever puzzles that start simple and build to ingenious little dilemmas that require insight to solve. Hours of fun. Programmers will love.
We enjoy when playing this game and it forced us to think of the best solution Special thanks to the developers for that.
This is a very clever puzzler. It has become one of our favorite all-time apps, beating out Trainyard from the distant $0.99 days. Looking forward to [sequence 2].
But when we think back to the ones we have played, and how we wish we didnt waste so much time playing them, this is one of the only games we dont regret. Its smart, polished, fun, and really improves the way you think. Like others have said, its somewhere in between the feeling of programming and doing a crossword. Thanks, game dev, you made something worthwhile, and you should feel good about it.
We love the game! We loved it so much, we bought and played the sequel. We wanted to play this one again, but havent been able to find a way to erase our profile, so that we can start the game again as a new player. Right now, the game has all of our puzzle solutions saved in it. We were hoping a developer could reach us through this review to help us figure out how to delete our save data.
It has real challenge but you don't have to guess, you can actually figure out the solution. We've been play without using hints, and a couple of times it took all day to figure out one puzzle. That makes it a great value. It's even a better value than that though, because there are all these sandboxes where you can play for hours. Thanks for a great game. Please make more.
As good as Human Resource Machine or Cosmic Express. But it needs a debug function.
Im still working through this and cant wait to move on to the sequel! Very clean, with an extremely beautiful design, and great sounds too. Adding a few other background music tracks wouldnt hurt but we really cant find any faults. This is a wonderful puzzle game!! And we can see that it might still challenge if we reset and come back in a few months.
If youre a programmer, youll probably love this little puzzler. We know that we do.
Im about halfway through this game and we already bought the sequel. The design is fantastic. Its a top notch puzzle game and is also extremely mentally relaxing. The music is so chill and the sound effects are also very satisfying. The whole thing together makes you feel like engineering genius. Well done to the devs on this. This is our favorite thing in a long time. Cheers.
This one of our all time favorite games. Each puzzle throws something new at you so it continues to make you think. Each new doodad that is introduced is interesting in how they interact with the others so it never gets stale. Graphically clean and the sound effects are correct as well. Perfect.
Im stuck. We like playing the game but you only earn one hint each level and there is no other way to get more. So Ive reached the end of our game play because we cant figure out the next levels.
We have. Brand new iPad Pro (v2) and the app does work. We cant drag and drop the movements in the build mode. None Id the buttons at the top work either.
We very rarely will take the time to write a review. When we do, it's because we feel very strongly about something. Usually it's to warn people of something negative. This time however, we just had to write a positive review for this app. We are so glad we got it. The game is beautiful, explained very well, and get this: it's actually difficult unlike most puzzlers (once you get toward the end). If you find other puzzlers too easy, give this one a try. Highly recommend.
We finally completed all levels (no hints!) we were both happy and sad that there were no more levels. More games like this, please.
Excellent game. Makes you think since it's very different from anything else. Game itself has a very clean layout, no issues, rounds very smoothly.
The Sequence is genuinely difficult but rarely frustrating. It requires a different type of thinking than anything we're used to. The ah-ha moments of figuring parts out are so satisfying, and we feel like a genius every time we complete a level. The folks who designed the gameplay must be brilliant freaks.
This game is absolutely amazing. It's perfect for very short play times on the train. Often times we can complete 2-3 puzzles and then we get stumped. We found that closing the app and opening it on a new day always gave us the new perspective we needed to solve the puzzle.
We rarely write a review on here, especially when we have to search for the app to review it intentionally as opposed to an in-app prompt. We felt the need to after playing this game for hours and getting to the second stage. The puzzles are extremely clever and the reward when you finally make a solution to the complex, multipart puzzles, is very full filling. You often have to solve the second order puzzle of moving the puzzle movers around the board just to solve the first order of moving the ball. Highly recommend any puzzle or even non puzzle fan give this game a try, it's a game we put down and come back to with a fresh mind to progress in.
We love this Game, maybe the only game that challenges us, and we love it…more levels please. Best puzzle game ever.
This is an addictive, fun game. We think that sandbox should be unlocked much sooner, however. Maybe after level 10.
We hate to use hints in any game. This was a great challenge that kept us interested no matter how frustrated we were. Sure, there were many weeks when we didn't even want to open it. But we still kept coming back until we had solved them all without help. Terrific game! More please.
This is our favorite puzzle game on iPhone.
Fantastic premise, ramps up difficulty nicely, and perfect for bite-sized play.
Had a great time solving all these problems. The hint system works out well so it in not impossibly hard. Spent a lot of time playing for the money. Would recommend.
This is the best puzzle game we have played this year.
Brilliant little robotics puzzler. This was very satisfying to work through. We're at level 29 and we really have to try a lot of different permutations and sequences to solve these puzzles. Robotics 101.
Challenging and fun. A combination of Rube Goldberg and circuit design. Untimed so you can puzzle over a solution as long as you like and over several sessions if need be.
If you are into puzzle games this is the one for you. Such a simple, unique concept. We're totally addicted.
- beautiful app – challenging – innovative – only .99.
After figuring out the rules, this game is very stimulating and challenging. The instructions could be a little more descriptive but we think that's part of the challenge of the game. Very gratifying when you complete a puzzle. 5 stars for sure.
Really different and interesting puzzle game.
It's everything the other 5-star ratings say, and more. The author has done such a great job, we're in awe. The only downside is that there aren't more levels.
This game is a masterpiece of engineering.
One of the most worth while for the price games we've gotten.
This puzzle game is so enjoyable and thought provoking without being frustrating. Think about the puzzles for a while if you get stuck. We find it works well. It's especially nice in this format as we can work on it for a few mins, set it down and come back. :).
A truly great puzzler, and more than that, this game is a great "pick up and put down" mobile game. We were really sad when we solved the last puzzle. We want more.
We have one thing that would make it better, enabling the sound button in the menu that would turn the sound off. There are some places that we don't want the music playing, but don't want to turn off the speaker of the phone.
This is our FAVORITE PUZZLE EVER!!! It is a very TRUE FIVE STARS!!! We loved it so much because it wasn't to hard, not to easy, it just took time! It is definitely something you should do when ur bored. We love this puzzle so much. So thank you developers for making such a fun and puzzling puzzle-game! (It is definitely worth that $1. Totally worth it).
We get frustrated by illogical puzzles. If you put your mind to it, and maybe take a break occasionally and look at a puzzle with fresh eyes, you can solve these, and it is so rewarding when you do.
We don't ever rate apps, but this is a five star app.
Intellectually stimulating and engaging. Nice graphics.
Seriously challenging yet entertaining game where programming is broken down into very basic structures. Absolutely a blast.
The best puzzle game we have ever played.
This is a great puzzle app that's fun just to dip in solve a problem and enjoy a few spare minutes. We love it.
We love puzzle games and this is the best.
