If you want to figure it out by yourself, you should just read this part and then skip the rest of my review: I wouldn't have paid 2.99 for this (personally because I just don't have money) but it was on "sale" so I got it for .99. And it was worth every cent. I think it's cool- the little tricks they put and the game idea itself and stuff. It's very interesting. Alright, for those who need help:This game isn't as complicated as the instructions seem (believe me, I got flabbergasted at first too). Here are some tips: look at the person on the top. He's doing jumping jacks! If his arms are vertical, the next slice will be vertical and vice versa (it's a pattern). If you make a square or rectangle with equal parts, like a two by two or a two by three (I don't think you can do a three by three?), then they're called point boxes and you can't split them anymore. If you make them fall, then they decrease by half. What I mean by that is the number in the box. If you noticed, the number that appears in the new point boxes you make agrees with the number of slices you've made. So if you've made seven slices and you make point boxes, those point boxes require seven moves to get rid of. Unless you make them fall, which brings them down to three moves. When you get rid of some boxes, you get more points and more black space. The trick is to how many point boxes you make, and when and where you make them. Don't try to make super big point boxes- you can't cut them anymore. I recommend cutting some boxes in the bottom half (after your first cut) into point boxes so you can make more point boxes in the top half. That way, the top point boxes will drop, etc. Sorry if this didn't make sense but I'm just trying to help >_< cuz there are a lot of reviews down there saying that it's too complicated. Give it a second try, and try to find other fun things :) I'm sure you'll like to play it in your free time.

First off, if you loved Simogo's other hit, Device 6, you will love this game. If you didn't like Device 6, you will still love this game (as long as you have a respect for puzzle games and care more about thought and strategy than mindless tapping). As some other reviews have mention, there's a lot of depth here. And they're right. There are TONS of little hidden secrets. One example of this is if you hold on the "Spl-t" title screen you can play a mini-game where your balancing a ball. There's much more but I think I'll let you figure that out for yourself :) On the surface, this game looks simple. You tap squares alternating the type of line you break. At first glance this game with its simple design, ironically has a lot of rules and looks complicated but once you start to get the hang of it you can't put it down (Also if you shake the device it can change the color if you ever get bored of the normal 'black and white' theme, and if you flip the screen over you can invert the colors). The goal is to get the highest score. Surprisingly, there are TONS of possible strategies to this game, and it's just one of those unique games you can't get enough of. Remember, don't quickly disregard the game because of its early frustrations and huge learning curve.All in all this is an amazing game that is easily worth the $2.99, all it needs it time and it will become your new favorite game.Have Fun :)

When you pick this game up, it can seem boring at first. You get a few hundred points at first and you're maybe asking yourself "what's the point".But you pick up a few common patterns after a few games, and start playing around, and soon your making a few thousand points. There comes a point where suddenly patterns start turning into strategies, you check out some ideas...And suddenly the game opens up into something amazing and deep.You realize you are fighting to stay on the cusp of creation and destruction as the whole world crumbles around you. The complexity of this struggle is great, and you build a huge chest of tools to carry with you.Now you're making tens of thousands of points, breaking a hundred thousand, getting deeper and deeper. And you find yourself sketching mathematical analyses of fall patterns, looking for that something that unlocks it that you now know, just deeply, intuitively know, is hiding there.This could very well be the mindworm that Device 6 alluded to.

This game is great and has become my all time favorite simple puzzle game. I find that the longer you play, the more the game opens up to you and reveals deeper strategy. It’s very rewarding. But, with Apple’s creation of the “Dynamic Island” it no longer plays as intended. The Dynamic Island gets in the way of the little jumping-jack person, hiding useful information. I see the game hasn’t been updated in a while, but an update to move the little person away from Dynamic Island would be much appreciated!
