This is our take on the classic sliding tile game — complete with Game Center achievements, soothing sounds, and colorful tiles.

The games alright I guess. (Btw I currently hold the record of 2.98 seconds).
You can turn off the ads which is great, but I would recommend an overall average to go with the top five average. Despite the lack of this, I am still enjoying this game.
Pros: The tiles move pretty well, and multiple tiles can be moved at a time. The colors provide a nice diversion, and the timer is excellent for those serious about speed solving like I am. Cons: This is definitely going to be nitpicking, but every time you get a new scramble, it seems like you only get very unfavorable scenarios - many of the lower numbers start on the bottom of the board, and make it so that it forces you to have solves with higher move counts to work those lower numbers up to their positions at the top of the board. There just doesn’t seem to be enough variance in the scrambles like there would be if it was a truly randomly generated scramble, and it just feels like you aren’t getting an accurate average, if you do practice speed solving. Overall the app is great and if you’re just looking for a 15 tile slide puzzle to solve casually, this has what you need. For more competitive solvers, it feels like the app is fixed to give you bad starting scenarios more often than not, and I wish there was more true variance in the scrambling.
I love this game! It is very easy to use, but very hard to put down! The game is colorful and fun, but also simple and creative.
It's a simple game. Since there's only one puzzle to solve (randomized each time) the game becomes all about learning to optimize your time. You have to figure out the right ways to get things places faster, or you'll just be moving things around randomly. Surprisingly fun and challenging!
I have the current high score in this game. (4.77 sec, which I honestly think should be some kind of world record lol) I solved the puzzle ALOT in a similar app named mindtrainer years ago, and my record was about 6 seconds, which this app helped me break in two days haha
