I love the game. There are no annoying character related themes or some unrelated story you are forced into. It’s just solve the level and move to the next one. Wonderful! I started playing it because I was looking for more levels like the LinkedIn game Zip, so if you are looking for something similar, this is it. The levels, even as you get into the thousands, are not like the Zip game. They seem to be generated and frequently have common layouts. I swear that I have solved the same level before sometimes, because it can be very similar. Mostly I just like to “Zip” through a bunch of levels to reset my brain for a am purple minutes. It has its glitches. Sometimes you lose on a level and when you open the game back up, it’s a different layout. I don’t know if that’s the same level number or if the level generator just decided I needed something different. Sometimes you come back to the game and it is locked on the logo screen (you have to close it and restart). Sometimes the clock doesn’t tick down and you have infinite time (sadly never when I really need it).The biggest complaint I have are the ads to get extra lives. They are upsettingly long, and honestly, if they weren’t so absolutely annoying, I might have paid for no ads. Instead, it forces me to put the game down (which is a good thing), because I only occasionally want to endure one of those to get a new life. Ooof. The ads that pop occasionally between levels aren’t too bad. Overall, it’s a good game.

They have stopped working. No updates to fix the bug.

I wasn’t expecting much, but Grid Rush totally hooked me. It’s easy to pick up, but it really pushes you to think quickly and stay focused. Perfect for short bursts when you want to keep your brain sharp without getting overwhelmed. Super clean design, no annoying ads, and just the right amount of challenge. I find myself opening it way more than I thought I would. Definitely recommend if you like quick, smart games.

Don't let my rating fool you - if you're new to this sort of puzzle, this is a good app to try. If you aren't, it takes forever to get to larger boards that can have more varied solutions. As of stage 500, only 2 puzzles took more than 10 seconds and 3x3 boards are still present. Wanting to focus on speed is fine, but this is a slog.That being said it's comfortably designed, the ads aren't bad, and it controls exactly how you'd want it to.
