Good mental challenge

Really fun puzzles -- they start pretty simple but get harder. It's a pretty original concept, combining logic and visual thinking. In general Conceptis puzzles work on the model where you get a small number of games for free, to get a sense of if you like them, and then you have the option to pay for more puzzles in batches. Personally I greatly prefer this model than the in-app purchases approach, and there are no ads. The larger puzzles are better on an iPad but can be done on an iPhone with some difficulty. The controls are a bit counterintuitive at first but you get used to them. This is one of my favorite game apps.
Love it

I generally love the Conceptis games and this is no exception. Lots of free puzzles so you can learn the game and figure out if you like it, then very reasonable packages of more puzzles, and of course the free weekly updates. If you like Pic-a-Pix or Block-a-Pix then you will love this too.
This is a lot of fun

I really enjoy this style puzzle. App is well done, controls work pretty well. Occasionally I get frustrated at the way the cursor snaps back to where it started when you don’t land somewhere “legal” but that’s a minor beef. I bought one of the level packs and they big puzzles are great. The medium plus levels take me about two hours each. Good value for the money for me
Great game

I love this game but needs to have more free packs than paid packs cause I don’t have the money.
Fun puzzle, terrible interface

These puzzles are fun and challenging. The problem I have is that drawing the lines is difficult, while it will easily place lines where you don’t want them. Very frustrating.
Really like these

Edit: i stand by my earlier assessment. I am becoming more and more impressed with how much logic this game actually takes. I used to spend a lot of time guessing, but I’m getting better at them. Original Review: I thought they were way too easy at first, but the logical thinking needed as the puzzles get larger and more complicated is quite cool.
