Brain It On‪!‬ 4+

Stop me!

I downloaded this game because I was curious about these type of challenges. I’m pleased (also frustrated!) with my progress. I often play it for escape and relaxation...until it’s two hours later, I am obsessed and can’t stop. Augh! The ads weren’t that annoying but I upgraded anyway and now I don’t know how I could have put up with them. I, like many others, was being driven mad by not being able to get to the edges without my control screen coming down but this latest update seems to have fixed it so thanks to the developers. I’ve really barely scratched the surface and it’s worth the extra few bucks. That dorky music though! Seriously, it is dorky. Haha. I turn it off then sometimes find myself missing it (why??) 😆 so if I’m in the mood I just keep the volume very low.

Great... At first.

To start out, I’m not the sort of person who normally writes reviews unless I find an app either extremely outstanding or severely flawed. I’ve only every written 2 other app reviews in my life, both of which were positive. This one, however, isn’t. I love the idea of this game, and the simple aesthetic it presents. However, once you finish the first three or so levels, the shine begins to fade. Frequent, unskippable ads after every level; unresponsive controls, and lag all plague this game. The ads I could normally deal with, however coupled with the fact that most levels are nigh-impossible to complete due to the unresponsive touch controls, this app quickly fades from a fun game to a hellish torture method. I found myself making the same shape the hint showed again and again, but because of how unresponsive the touch drawing controls were I literally couldn’t complete the level.
Even with all of the drawbacks, I’d happily download this app again if these issues were resolved.
TL;DR: Fun for the first three levels, then it loses all appeal. Unresponsive controls and constant ads make it more pain than pleasure to play.

Addictive and challenging!

I rarely write reviews, however this game is so great that I had to leave a few notes. 1. It’s addictive, in that fun I want to tell everyone about it way. 2. The challenges are great for anyone who has a brain and can be patient enough to try multiple different solutions. 3. I love the unlimited retires without ads. All games must have ads, but this one limits them in a vey tolerable way. 4. And lastly, I have never had trouble with lag, it works great and without flaws on my iPhone 8. My only two suggested changes are that 1. I could challenge someone and 2. I could play this in real life or on a big screen! Great job developers, I gotta get back to level 59 now :)
