Update: I paid to remove ads, but the ads are still showing up. I’m downgrading my rating until this gets fixed.

I love, love, love this game! I finally have gold trophies on all 250 levels, although it took me a few months of playing sporadically to get there. Will there ever be more levels? All I can do now is replay levels and try the daily challenges. Update: There are new levels!!! I love the new format! A trick to keep in mind is that mathematically, sometimes the puzzles are impossible to win. When this happens, back out of the puzzle, and press play again. Voila, the puzzle resets! This game is fast, challenging, and mathematical, but not in a 'classroom' way. There are angles in some of the geometric shapes that help you figure out where to place your points; in other puzzles, it's not obvious at all. The best piece of advice I got while playing this game was from my son: he said that "they (the opposing dots) are going to get some portion of the puzzle; you just have to try to get more of it." It seems simplistic, but I had a mindset (at first) that I didn't want to give away any more than I had to. Accepting that they will get 'some' of the space made it easier, somehow. Hope that makes sense. Great game and I highly recommend it!

Lines is a deceptively simple game that’s both challenging and relaxing. Filled with puzzles that present random variations, it’s a great time-filler while waiting for something. It won’t leave you feeling frantic when you put it up. And, once you complete all the achievements, you’re left with a game that you can play daily like the crossword or jumble. All in all, one of my favorite games.

And an update... The most recent release (which “optimized user experience”) has spoiled the simplicity of the daily challenge by adding a “watch ad” feature that offers a second chance on a loss. I can understand the developers wanting another route to cash for themselves, but to me it ruins the experience, especially with the “ad free” version. This after three years of pleasant game play moves me to lower my rating from 5 stars to 3 stars.

This woke up parts of my brain that hadn't been touched since Pac-Man (which moving object, after making a few turns apiece, can get to that intersection first?), and is exercising new parts that I never knew existed. Great fast game to pick up and play, but has the depth to keep me engaged for a long time if (or more likely, when) I give in ("just one more try!").

One small complaint I have is the similarity of the colors. Having subtly different shades of a base color on a single level has cost me plenty of lives. It's hard to tell that a small yellow dot only a few mm in diameter isn't EXACTLY the same color as the border, or the same color as another small dot halfway across the screen. Please keep all of the colors distinct.

Small bug - when I die during infinity mode, and quit the game, It resumes not in infinity mode, but as though I died playing the actual level. Maybe I do want to retry the same level, but more likely, I want to play infinity mode again, and now I have to navigate through the menus to select it.
