Once you get to the 4th page you have to get a perfect score to unlock it. You will learn to quite after you have wasted an hour trying to get perfect scores on all of the previous puzzles. BIG WASTE OF TIME!!! Update: every 2nd puzzle you have to watch a 30 second video!!! Not worth it. If I could give it zero stars I would.

This review applies to the ad-free version. Great fun. The game physics are realistic and consistent, and the puzzle difficulty ascends at a reasonable and enjoyable pitch. I leave the jazz tune on, because it reminds me of Mancini's Pink Panther cartoon score and, with the goofball ways some initial attempts at solutions pan out, the music is apropos. Fundamentally, though, I enjoy this game because I don't feel as if it places any demands on me.

You spend more time watching ads than playing. Ads after every level that take longer to watch the the levels take to play. Several times the ads didn't load and they're was no way to exit the as other than exiting the game. Controls are poor, but I suspect that may have more to do with the end user device, given that the controls are supposedly one of the highlights of this game.

Very intersting game. Its like a brain workout. I don't play video games or most app games but I get this for some reason. I usually delete an app right away if I thinks it's trash. No trash here. As you progress the puzzles become more difficult but that's what makes it so satisfying. Solving the more challenging puzzles makes me pump my fist in the air and yell "YES" very loud.

Fantastic! Really simple idea, but done with amazing insights, including not just solid objects and gravity, but also elastic materials, fricitionless materials, materials subject to negative gravity (ascending), materials floating in water, etc. It can be frustrating to draw the configuration one wants on a phone screen, even with a touch stick, but even that becomes part of the challenge. Best game app I've ever used, by far.

Entertaining and challenging. It feels realistic as objects moves in gravity. There are assumptions. This is a friction less world. Material of object created behaves like metal. It doesn't bend or break. There's other materials in the game like magnets that has different magnetic strength. The game is challenging but not impossible. Don't be discourage. There's always a way. As far as ads goes, ads only show up after I finish the round. If I get stuck on the game, I won't see any ads.

Great game! I love the type of thinking it requires (cleverness). Suggestion for improvement: I didn't feel stuck until level 24 and I used the hint button for the first time. I was disappointed that it gave me the solution. Please start with a slight hint, maybe have two or more levels of hints but don't give away the answer as the first hint (even if executing it still poses some challenge). Now I won't ask for a hint until I'm totally stuck.

Pretty good game. The physics engine could use some polishing. Doesn't always work correctly, like when a stick object lying on top of a ball "crushes" the ball. And when you get into higher levels, it almost *requires* a device with a stylus. Some puzzles require alot of speed and precision, and a finger doesn't glide as well, nor is it at all precise. I can imagine the frustration of anyone with even slightly large hands/fingers. Not bad overall.

I really like this game but I wish I could have a little more control of the sise of the line. maybe just like 3 different thicknesses or somthing? Just 3 Lil buttons in the corner to switch between? I think it would give better control in some places. Other wise I love it! Edit: if it allowed you to put things where you're obviously trying to put them that would be sweet. Always stops drawing mid drawing

Definitely challenging and you may have to set it down for a few minutes(or a day) to breathe, but it really stretches you to think outside of the box, using what you know to be true in all things and applying it to different circumstances. I keep coming back! And the ads arent overwhelming or interrupting you while playing. Good app, recommended for relief of boredom symptoms.

Very addictive, challenging, and fun! Haven't ran into any bugs or anything so far. Ads aren't unreasonably long, neither do they pop up annoyingly often. My only problem is that it doesn't seem as responsive when I begin drawing lines, which makes drawing them use up my time. For example, when drawing around the magnets, it's hard to get an accurate drawing.

Really fun game! Even the easy tasks seemed impossible at first, and my solutions were terribly inelegant. But once I got the hang of it, I went back and tried to solve for 3 stars instead of 1 (completion, time, # moves). Some of the puzzles are more intuitive to me than others, but the good thing is that you can skip ahead and complete them out of order. I'm up to #44 after only 2 or 3 days of playing off and on, but my solutions are still mostly terrible! Call me sadistic, but I'm loving it!

Like so many other good puzzle games, I'm going to delete this now, because I'm permanently stuck, and will never make further progress. The game was very different, inventive, and fun while it lasted. My only complaint is that it's quite hard to draw with the necessary precision when the thing you're drawing with blocks your view of what you're drawing. Many of the levels require quite high precision (getting magnets to fall, for examlpe) and this is just mechanically very hard to accomplish on a Galaxy S8+.

So close to perfect. I really love this game and I'm playing it my 3rd time through. I wish there were 2 improvements. 1) I wish I could offset the draw point from my finger so I could see what's happening under there. Sometimes I'm surprised by what has happened after I lift my finger. 2) I wish it tracked better. The line jumps in unexpected ways sometimes, and it's aggravating, especially on the more involved ones, to set up a perfect solve only to have the tracking go haywire.

I love this app, but the ads are ridiculous! I don't mean length or frequency, I mean the type of ads. I would not be comfortable with my younger brother (7) playing this game because of them. (I know the paid/ad-free version is available, but I am reviewing the free version.) Also, sometimes it glitches and various drawn shapes collide/mash into each-other. That's not a big deal though... just means you have to try again.

I was able to get a few people into this game with ease; I'm barely half way through the second set of puzzles and I'm absolutely hooked. Each level displays how many people have finished that specific level at the bottom of the screen. With each ongoing level that number decreases as the difficulty of the puzzles increases. However the puzzles are not so hard as to rage quit the game, but just enough to have you jumping in joy when you figure out how to put the ball in the cup. Very cool indeed

Fantastic game! Very clever. I've been playing it for years. Challenging! Never boring! I try to play the daily challenge each day. It's great to just pop on and play for a few minutes while waiting for a mtg to begin. Developer is attentive and quickly addresses any issues. I'm always amazed at ppl who complain about ads. Dude has to make a living. Just spend a few bucks to buy the game and the ads vanish.

Dropping my rating. Been having fun with this game for years. Great puzzle game! But I just got some sketchy adds! I respect that you deserve ad revenue if I don't upgrade, but understand that the wrong ad choices will run us off! They were the ones that try to fool you into clicking it, X button doesn't work, couldn't get back to BrainItOn, kept sending me to download/install something. Not sure I can trust it anymore

Best game I've ever played online! Not crazy with ads. Most ads are only when you want a clue, and those ads are usually only 30 seconds. This is one of the few games I've played that actually challenges you to think. It is not rigged to make you watch ads, but genuinely challenging. Even when you ask for a clue, it doesn't give it away, but makes you think about how to apply the clue. If you like mindless games, where the app controls the outcome, then this one is NOT for you!

Fun! Challenging. I play with my friends we laugh out loud at our attempts. Not your average monotone, predictable game. Brain it on has improved my cognitive ability to re-learn critical thinking, in ways my speech is noticeably better and my problem solving process has gotten quicker. ( I had a traumatic brain injury) I even notice my memory is sharper and also getting better! My family notices too. This really works!
