Bring back the old format please!

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…

Wonderfully simple. Deceptively complex

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.

Best Game

This is such a relaxing yet fun game. It challenges you after a certain amount of levels, but it’s a puzzle worth playing. After mastering levels, you end up being able to change the game skin- and they’re such pretty colors! I want to thank whoever invented this game. I’ve had to play the game all over again after switching phones, but it’s been a pleasure every time. After having this phone for the past couple of years, I finally reached 999 points. It was a very sweet “thank you for playing”. So bittersweet; but even though I won’t make it to 1,000 points, I’ll still be playing the daily levels. And that’s the other thing! Once you’ve finished all of the levels, there are daily games whose difficulty changes depending on the day of the week. I absolutely cherish this game. It honestly calms my anxiety and is a great distraction from the stressors of life. To say I’d highly recommend this game is an understatement. It’s provided countless moments of entertainment and joy for me. Thank you to those who made this game. It’s an absolute hidden gem and a treasure.

A Classic!

Thanks for the compatibility update! I've owned and still continue to play Lyne over the nearly 4 years since it was introduced in the App Store. Like all the better puzzle games, at first glance Lyne seems deceptively simple but your soon discover that it can be mentally challenging despite it's simplicity of play. It will have your thinking cap going full blast with the enjoyment it provides from solving the numerous puzzles of varying degrees of difficulty. If you don't have Lyne on your iOS device, I strongly recommend you download it. In my opinion, it should be ranked as a "Classic" of it's genre on the App Store.

Love this game!

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!

Decrease in Puzzles?

I’ve played this game for I don’t know how many years and would have always given it 5 stars until this tenth anniversary update. I only play the demanding puzzles and was greatly disappointed to see that there are now fewer puzzles per day. There always used to be 25 puzzles per level and then there were 16. Now today there were 8?! Why have the number of puzzles decreased? I understand if it’s effort to make new ones but certainly some could be recycled from the past - who’s going to remember? Thank you for reading this.

Thanks for the update!

I've been loving this brain teaser for quite a while. I play intermittently, and have yet to work through all levels. It is one of those thinking games that helps me unwind. And sometimes success seems to come more easily when I don't think about the puzzle so much. Thanks for the compatibility update. I was tired of iOS whining about that.

Excellent entertainment

Part of my morning routine for years has been working the Lyne puzzles which become progressively more challenging through the week. I am very much enjoying the major tenth anniversary update and recommend Lyne to anyone who likes this kind of puzzle.
