8 of 15This was my favorite game. Every morning I did the daily challenge. It was my routine. The new format is not as enjoyable and so few puzzles per day. Also the colors and format is dizzying. Please bring back old format and the daily 40 (60 on weekends) puzzles. Please!!
i’ve owned this game since it was released. Starbucks had a promotion for it to download free. it’s gone on so many flights and road trips, as well as just helped me relax laying in bed. the puzzles are make my brain happy. i typically solve the more complex within about 4 or 5 tries. if i find one that’s especially challenging, i step away for a bit, then return with fresh eyes to solve it immediately. the sounds are soothing. currently on my fourth play through, on stages G H I. i will go about 6mo to a year between play through a so as to not always be just immediately repeating the puzzles. usually enough time to forget them and replay them. thanks for such a wonderful distraction.
I’ve been playing this game for years! I completed all of the levels many moons ago, but I still play the daily puzzles every day, especially toward the end of the week when the daily puzzles are harder. I have to say, however, that I’m a little disappointed that the point tally doesn’t go beyond 999. It’s a small thing in an otherwise extraordinary puzzle game!
Love this game! The chill tunes that go along with it that are Really relaxing!
I have played this game for at least 20 years. My Granddaughter was just a little girl when I started playing. We played it together in the dark, so we wouldn’t wake anyone up. I would finish all the stages from A-Z. Then I would be able to reset it back to Zero. It went to 999. I could start over on Zero. It was so exciting. This was the game I played every day. Lots of times, I played this game when I got home very late with my Husband like 5:30 am. I had to play it. Every stage I passed was so exciting. I have been bragging about this game for so long. I even have it on my iPad. Today is 10-22-25. I started playing my game. Everything has changed. The format is smaller now. I don’t understand why this has happened. When I got a new phone, I had to pay $2.99 for it. So, why isn’t it the same? I am so frustrated by this. It’s disturbing to me. Please put. It back the way it was.
Have been playing LYNE so ce it was first released. Got through the 999 levels initially but continue to be entertained with the daily puzzles when I’m sleepless or just wanting to relax and take a short break.
Please bring back the old format where there were 25-50 puzzles per day( and 75 on weekends) - the new format has too few puzzles and isn’t challenging enough. Also I agree with a previous review that the screen format is too small and needs to be bigger especially for those of us who play on our phones…otherwise still my favorite game and well worth the price I paid for it years ago! Update 11/3: appreciate the new larger screen format…thank you! Update 11/9: After another week of the new puzzle format, I’m still not liking the decreased number of puzzles…doesn’t feel challenging enough…can’t zone out and relax my mind when there are only 4-20 (not always challenging) puzzles to solve…
This is my stress relief game, I just forget about everything when I play ,I had it for a long time I just don’t remember when I got it .My hand get used to all the moves. And I like it 👍
