Well worth the money. You get a ton of puzzles. The description says 500 and I’ve been playing it for a few weeks and am only on 150. Highly recommended!
Great game, lovely interface

The puzzle style has surprising depth, and is satisfying to solve- this is amplified by how well the interface works. Spend $2 on this instead of spending hours of your life watching ads on a free game.
Simple Mechanics, Great Puzzle

Not much to it, but a simply great puzzle game. Can find myself blasting through feeling like a genius then getting stuck on something so simple. Great mix and great fun.
