Decipher: The Brain Game

I had this app for a while, at first it seemed beautiful but disappointingly easy. However, after finishing some other games (“Hook” and “Transmission,” also five star minimalist puzzles) that also started easy but got hard, I decided to give this one another go. It’s great; I’m up to level 63 now and enjoying it! Only downside, not worth taking off a star for, is that the lack of fine-tuned control makes some levels very difficult. For instance, the bottom ring on level 61 kept snapping into a different position when I let go, making it artificially hard to line up the rings as I intended. But I think this is a simple bug that hopefully the developers will fix. I haven’t run into many levels yet where it matters hugely. Thanks for making this! EDIT: On playing the game further, I realized that by design each ring can only be moved in 45 degree increments, for a total of 8 positions for any given ring (plus possibly halfway positions in special cases when turning the rings that make other rings turn slowly). So the above isn’t a bug after all, and this limitation makes some puzzles more interesting than they might be otherwise. So yes, a definite 5 star game! I’m up to level 238 and some levels are very tricky indeed. Hoping to see further games from this development team!

Going through a breakup rn and needed something to take my mind off of it. Never been really much of a game person but I decided to give this a try (to take a break from listening to lil peep for the thousandth time in a row). After about 2 or 3 days of playing I got through all 250 levels, and I’ve gotta say, if y’all are going through some tough stuff, get Decipher. It’s the perfect thing to take your mind off of all the other wild stuff in the world and focus on spinning some circles, thinking strategically, and having some fun. Thank you to the developers of this game. 5/5. Y’all are stars.

This is the best mobile puzzle game I’ve ever played. It’s simplistic and yet incredibly interesting. My main complaint is that it’s fairly short, it took me a little over 3 days to beat all 250 levels, but I was playing a fair bit so I think it would take most people a little over a week. Also there’s a bug where sometimes if you accidentally hit two rings at once the game glitches and solves the puzzle. This doesn’t happen consistently. My only other nit pick is that the hints system is leaves something to be desired. When you use a hint the game just leads you straight to the solution as opposed to just giving a small clue. Other than that this is a brilliant game for anyone looking for relaxing and entertaining puzzles

The concept of Decipher with rotating rings that have different effects is unique and interesting. The space theme with music and backgrounds ties it together well. The only issue I have is that on level 247(I think) and 250, I used a hint and it didn’t work. I rotated the rings to its instruction, leaving me with an incomplete puzzle. Using a hint disables you from turning other rings, so at the end, I couldn’t move the puzzle anymore and had to restart. Overall, a fun concept I would like to see more of, as long as the few bugs in the game are resolved.

My frustration and surprise has prompted me to write my first review of a game, ever. And, it seems the only way to leave a comment for the developers. This game promises so much. It is a peaceful, beautiful and engaging game with lovely, calming music. Then suddenly, and with such frequency it’ll make your head spin, loud, jarring, ridiculously placed ads appear. Their content has nothing whatsoever to do with the type of game this is, adding to the disruptive experience. I am used to ads as a part of the package with most games, but the placement and content of these ads ruins the experience. There doesn’t seem to be a way to pay to play with no ads. I recommend not even thinking of downloading if you are looking for a relaxing, inspiring experience.
