What players say
For a game that is suppose to be calming and zen like it can sometimes be remarkably frustrating. The fun of watching big numbers quickly fades and out right ends right around level 30. After 35 it just becomes a tedious slog. The special clear board blocks "lucid blocks" become few and far between. I don't think I got a single one on any level after 45. What little fun I was having was completely gone at the higher...
