It's a great game. Sometimes it's hard to solve levels and you have to guess till something happens. Lol. The black dots are like black holes. The only thing I don't like are the sounds when you hit the black holes. It's annoying so I have to turn the sound off. Other than that prepare to be challenged.

After reading several reviews about the sound when you hit the black dots, for $0.99 I had to hear it for myself (and I’ve grown to like drawing games). This is a unique game from other similar games. You don’t draw a line to connect the dots and the lines don’t model physics and fall like they do in other drawing games, rather, they repeat. It creates a pattern. If you draw a squiggle then your squiggle will repeat the same motion AND the same angle. It bounces only if you “bounce” it when you are drawing. If you draw a straight line it moves in the direction like a worm until you hit all the colored circles or until it goes off screen or... hits the black dots. It’s unique and challenging but also relaxing fun. So, what IS this awful sound that everyone complains about? Admittedly, I turned the sound down too but I don’t find it as off-putting as some. I think it’s the uncanny-valley style weirdness that makes it so disconcerting more than the sound itself. It sounds like several sounds mixed and it changes. There is a small “plink” sound in one with a light negative tone chime in another and similar sounds in others. The part that makes it “annoying” though is the overlay (I suppose that’s what you would call it?) of a female-sounding voice saying “ooh” or what sounds like “ay-oh” Or “ohhh” - but each sound is mixed with something so it’s hard to say exactly what it really sounds like.

If you’re like me, spacial awareness is your dump stat and this game will be super challenging. But that’s why I like it! It’s so satisfying to clear a challenge. Sometimes I open the app just to play with the physics and sound effects. It can be a tad frustrating when I’m not in the right mood but mostly it’s a great brain teaser I highly recommend giving it a go

maybe the game was just not my type. I love brain teasers and puzzle game, but i hate this. I’m disappointed that i actually waisted money on it, but thankfully it didn’t cost much. The sound effects are awful; I had to turn them off just to try and enjoy the game a little better. Every time I tried to start the line from the top it would try to save a picture. The fact that i couldn’t start a move without that happening was frustrating, that should be something they fix/change.

At first it was addicting, then after 30 minutes, it started grossing me out. One of the sound effects is mouth sounds. Have you ever known anyone that makes a lot of sounds whenever they move? That’s this game. it started to skeeb me out. If people chewing grosses you out, this is not the game for you. It’s a beautiful game, but I just can’t. Not worth 99 cents for 30 minutes.
