Smart, clever, and challenging game. When I had a problem with the app crashing, the developer worked diligently to help get it working. I look forward to this game. It is an excellent diversion.

This game is harder than it looks once you get the hang of it. It's fun and addictive without a lot of flash.

Fun so far. Haven't tried 'hard' difficulty, yet. Will adjust after I've played awhile.
