Rules! for Negative User Reviews

Stylish game but gets too hard, too quickly!This game is beautiful to look at and has a great idea behind it. Players have to remember a sequence of rules each round and use them to clear the board. However, it gets hard very quickly and I mean very quickly. With no real way to earn enough extra time from playing a good game, I get frustrated and stop playing. Devs need to alter the difficulty curve or risk losing players..Version: 1.0.1

Basic, fun but expensiveThis game is an average short puzzler. For what you get though, it's not worth the money. I'm disappointed and wouldn't have bought it if I knew what I was getting..Version: 4.0.4

Cute but needs a bug fixReally cute characters and fun memory puzzle. Bug fix needed at level 26 / 5s and 9s. Can’t get past that level, game indicates 5 or 9 tiles remain when there are none..Version: 4.1.2

Got old fastGood graphics, and fun.... while it lasted. Doing the same thing over and over got old real fast..Version: 1.1

Quite disappointingThe game is well made and very polished no doubt - but it is quite disappointing as far as gameplay is concerned. Like the many 1 star reviews mention, it is just about remembering rules which are mentioned only once - similar to mugging up of boring subjects and topics for tests in school. Definitely not for everyone. There is a decent scope for depth in gameplay but I feel the designers are being a little lazy at some level..Version: 2.1.3

The most boring game I've ever playedWhen I saw that this game had been recommended as an Editor's Choice, I decided to try it out. It turned out that this game was absolutely not worth my money. It was boring and repetitive and I stopped after just a few minutes. Later on, I tried to get a refund for my two dollars, but apparently the app was "not eligible for a refund". Warning: do not purchase this app if you would prefer to not be bored to death..Version: 2.1.3

Fun but kinda buggyUsing iOS 8 on iPhone 6 Plus. Great game but it gets super frustrating when the rule is something like "tap phones" and you're tapping the one phone on the board yet the board is totally unresponsive to all taps. Fun game, but maybe needs a little testing on the newer phones? I've only played a few games of Rules but it's bugged out every game..Version: 2.0

RulesThis game is somewhat addicting and a good game to have to play when you're bored, but I don't think it's worth the money. I would pay $0.99 at most for this app. The one major critique I would make is that there is always the same sequence of rules. The order never changes, so you will always get the same 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc rule, so I hope to see that changed in a future update. My verdict would be to wait for this to be changed or for the price to go down..Version: 3.0.1

Please save your money for something elseThis games seems interesting, and it is, for five minutes, after which it gets very boring. This is certainly not worth three dollars, I would criticize its lack of content if it was free..Version: 4.0.4

Top-notch quality; just wish it was actually funEverything about this game’s implementation is exemplary. The looks is fresh and distinctive. The induction process is smooth. The animations are delightful without being intrusive. AAA quality all the way. Unfortunately, all this love and attention has been wasted on a game concept that just isn’t very much fun to play. If you like Simon and its thousands of imitators, you’ll probably like this. But who actually enjoys playing Simon? The basic idea is that you stuff your short-term memory with rules until it overflows. Sure, you can use mnemonic tricks to pack more rules into your brain, but that feels a lot more like work than play..Version: 2.1.4

MehIt's fun-ish but keeping all the rules in your head makes the game a bit more intense than I like. You have to have uninterrupted time in order to play and with kids that's impossible. Yes there are stopping points every 10 rules and it's cool to challenge your memory skills but if one person walks up to you and asks a question, BOOM! You lose and have to start all over. Whatever. Expensive for what it is. Oh well. Live and learn..Version: 4.0.4

Beautifully made but a very simple gameI felt duty-bound to buy this game because I've enjoyed Carcassonne so much; they deserved another £1.50 from me! Just like Carcassonne, this game is beautifully made but unfortunately I quickly became bored of its simple 'remember tasks and click in order' mechanics. Back to Carcassonne I go....Version: 2.1.3

👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎😴This game is rly boring don't waste 3dollars on this dum game I'm glad I got it while it was free so I didn't lose money when I deleted it.Version: 3.0.2

BoringI bought the game after seeing it was rated an Editor's Choice, but find it to be seriously boring. The idea is to memorize an increasing number of rules for which blocks to clear from the board. Once the blocks that meet rule 5 are cleared, then clear blocks according to rule 4, then rule 3, etc. You are only told each rule once, and you have to remember what each rule was going forward. Clear green blocks. Clear odd numbered blocks. Clear blocks in decreasing numeric order..Version: 2.1.3

Overpriced. No replay-abilityFirst of all, this app should be 79p, 99p max. It also doesn't randomise levels. This means it's the same thing EVERY time. The devs have a lot of work to do if they want to make this game good. For now, I would advice anyone looking at this app to NOT buy it!.Version: 3.0.5

Flawed conceptThis is an interesting idea, but is actually a rather boring game experience. A big flaw is that you can get further with rapid random tapping than actually bothering to follow 'the rules' (as I discovered in frustration). Not much fun..Version: 1.0.1

20 seconds?!Brilliant game but 20 seconds?! You're having a laugh! You need to increase time from 30 - 60 seconds..Version: 1.0.1

Very acquired tasteIf your idea of fun is doing mental arithmetic and memory tests under pressure, this is the game for you..Version: 3.0.2

DifficultMaybe it's me, maybe I'm too damn slow, but a great game like this ruined by time constraints so tight it becomes frustrating really, and I mean REALLY quickly. Maybe it's me..Version: 1.0.1

Great game but frustrating....😁Agree with other reviews, not enough time to promote playing longevity and annoying bundling so many levels together in one go only to fail and have to start all over again 😱.Version: 1.0.1

Colorblind unfriendlySimple and beautiful, but moderately difficult for colorblind individuals. "Color indicators" are an option in the settings, but they clutter the clean design, and slow you down in completing the puzzles. Since the time per puzzle is so limited, you don't have even a second to spare in deciphering red from green. Would love this game if (1) there wasn't a time limit, or (2) color wasn't a factor..Version: 1.0.1

Good, but.....This game is massively overpriced. The game is fun, for around 20 mins and then it just becomes boring. £2.29 is far too expensive for what you get..Version: 3.0.5

DifferentI like memory games but this was so dull and deleted it within twenty minutes..Version: 3.0.9

Cute but...I'm up to level 12 and would welcome a chance to save my progress so I don't have to keep starting from the beginning. The time given is very very short..Version: 1.1

Fun for a couple playsThis is a great concept and it's well-executed. However, when you lose, you have to start all the way back at 1. I made it to level 88 and I will probably try to beat that only one or two more times. I wish I could start at level 80. Also, what happens after you reach level 100? Are there new levels added periodically?.Version: 3.0.1

I love this game, but...I love this game (the theme music and satisfying sound effects especially), but there is no way to save progress so I've stopped playing it. It gets boring to start from zero over and over again, especially if you finally reached a new level. Please change this and I'll be back to being addicted!.Version: 2.1.4

Crashing on watchOS 2On this last update the app doesn't launch on Apple Watch with watchOS 2, but it is hard to say if it is a problem in the app or the WatchOS 2. Other than that, works great on the iPhone..Version: 3.0.3

Nice idea limited by difficultyWell put together but so difficult that I can't play it for more than about 40 seconds at a time. Therefore not actually much fun. Try it, maybe I'm just very bad at this kind of thing..Version: 1.0.1

Annoying.Is sort of fun for about two minutes then simply gets annoying when you are given a numbers and expected to remember which rules they correspond to. This quickly degenerates into simply mashing all the icons in no particular order out of some desire to make it stop; eventually one is forced to question what one is doing with one's life wasting time on pointless games..Version: 3.0.1

Not worth $2.99Got bored in about 10 minutes. I enjoy the concept and I think the app was made well but I don't think it's worth $2.99 when there really isn't room for further content. I also hate the timed feature. It makes it less a puzzle and more of a speed test. You're not really thinking about it as much as having quick reflexes and hope for the best. If it was not timed or offered a timeless feature I'd enjoy it more, but still doubt that I'd play it more than an hour or 2. In its defense I was hoping it'd be a bit more closer to Einstein's 5 houses riddle so maybe I just disappointed myself when it wasn't along those lines as much as I'd hoped..Version: 4.0.4

App lost my progressI had a lot of fun with this game. It started getting really difficult and was good when I was in a challenging mood. But I got to level 100 and it reset on me. I was very disappointed to lose all my progress. Especially when I had to buy this game! If this issue doesn’t get fixed, don’t waste your money!.Version: 4.1.2

Pointlessly hard.I like tricky games. This game is hard but only because you have to remember fifty thousand things and do it all under a time constraint. And it's just not fun. It's horrible. This feel like a game that's supposed to be "good" for your brain, but totally NOT fun and completely pointless. And expensive!!!.Version: 1.0.1

Addicting butLove this game, but when I get to "Shake of you see a unicorn" I can't get it to work. I shake my phone I tap them I don't get it!.Version: 1.0.1

Need to have a rock solid memoryIf you have a poor memory (like me) this game will very quickly descend into an frustrating tap fest. After about too many rules I found if I tap really quickly in any order the various tiles disappear. Since I can't remember (my problem, not the games) more than 4 rules of the 10 or so I came across, the game becomes a tap fest. Why am o rating the game one star? Because to me it's a one star game, and since I ponied up the buck, I'm allowed to leave a one star review..Version: 3.0.5

GoodFun game that gets challenging as you progress however it can quickly get boring to play. 😩.Version: 3.0.5

Meh.Not worth the money... Its just a lot of fast clicking....Version: 1.0.1
