User Reviews

Users like the game for its simple, family-friendly, puzzle-like appeal and ease of setup. However, several reviews repeatedly cite serious stability and UX problems: the app seems abandoned and incompatible with current iOS, it crashes or freezes often with lag, ads interrupt play (including inappropriate ones), and navigation can be flaky or get stuck in menus. Overall, positives are outweighed by performance, compatibility, and ad-related issues.
Pros
  • Simple, easy to learn and play.
  • Great for kids and family to enjoy together.
  • Customizable settings and options (nicknames, colors, CPU difficulty).
  • Available on iPhone and portable for quick play.
  • Offers a brain-teasing puzzle that rewards strategy.
Cons
  • Compatibility/abandonment issues: appears not to run on recent iOS versions and may be unmaintained.
  • Frequent crashes, freezes, and lag that prevent starting or continuing games.
  • Intrusive advertisements disrupt gameplay, including explicit ads and hard-to-close promos.
  • Navigation/controls issues: menus can be unresponsive or the game can get stuck in setup screens, preventing play.

I love this game… but the Optime Software version is so very hard. I tried in Easy mode, and I got destroyed. I didn’t win once. Also, you should be able to choose your own colour. I mean not everybody likes the Bluey theme!!! Lastly, if I try to play on landscape mode then pretty much 2/3 of the screen gets cut off and inaccessible. BUT YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO CUT ME OFF!!! p.s. i’m about to delete this, it’s the only thing i ever reviewed under five stars
