Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Very entertaining and thoughtful game thank you for the updates developers.
We love this game and was excited to see an app for it. But it stops at level 330! We hope that they're developing new puzzles.
We think there is a design flaw in level 317. Also, the 5 star ratings are generated by the app asking if you would like to review it, then when you click yes, it gives itself 5 stars. Does not leave opportunity for honest review. We're giving up on this app and deleting it.
If you enjoy puzzle games, you will LOVE level rush.
We love this Boardgame a lot and we're very happy to have the app. We had been playing in the doctor waiting room. The time past fast.
We love this game and the colors are gorgeous.
Well implemented version of the board game.
Fun to play. Makes you think fast. Love it.
We love the board game version of Ubongo so we were psyched to see there was an app for it! Great for passing time on the train, for people who commute to work.
We can't stop playing this. Ahem we mean our kids can't stop. So much fun and challenging too.
Would like to play with family. Constantly can't connect to servers to create account for multiplayer.
Really fun board game and this digital version is excellent. A lot of puzzles (hundreds) as well as a time trial mode, a free play mode and the regular mode. Like Tetris meets Patchwork, very fun and replayable! How has no-one reviewed this yet.
