Comments on LYNE for Android

★★★★★ Johannes Bergsma · Sep 19, 2021
I’ve put several hours into LYNE both on PC and on the Android app. Because LYNE is an abstract puzzle game, it abstains from the often graphic or suggestive content that proliferates in cheap Android games. Although in one sense the game passes on the opportunity for uplifting story content, the game is inspiring for a different reason. LYNE is a game that is “kinder” on our senses and more reflective of a balanced reality than many mobile games. While the Android gaming market is saturated with heavily monetized experiences that bombard us with sounds, images, and ads, LYNE is a refreshing example of how games could and should aim to be better. LYNE’s short puzzles are a perfect middle ground; a way to relax between other activities without feeling pushed to spend too much time on our devices. All this helps me to balance my mobile gaming experience so that it complements my day and doesn’t take away from time that I need for other goals. The addition of calming musical accents and dynamic white noise is an exceptionally skillful touch that rounds out the experience. I’m refreshed by this positive attitude towards game design, and I appreciate the time taken by the developer to produce such a relaxing game app that fills a useful role on my phone.
★★★★★ John Healty Christian · Nov 16, 2018
It is an awesome puzzle game. Pros: Cute UI design, Gameplay is so addictive, You need to use your brain, Sometimes relaxing, Many levels, Many colors theme. Cons: Can be boring if you can't finish the level, Need more feature (like cloud save maybe?). 9.2/10 Stars for a great game with style. Edit 1: There is a cloud save hahaha, sorry. Maybe the only feature that need to improve is achievement? Or leaderboard score?
★☆☆☆☆ Scott Emerson · Dec 14, 2023
Well, this was an awesome game. It won't run anymore. Front splash screen freezes, then nothing. Really too bad. Was very fun. Deleted....
★☆☆☆☆ Kurt Mielke · Jun 11, 2022
The most difficult can be sometimes be interesting to solve, but Mon-Thu, is boring. It tries to make you register as google play user. For the last couple of days, I cannot start the game at all - bye, my patience has been used up!!
★★☆☆☆ Guy Ainge Jr · Feb 16, 2022
I've enjoyed this game since I installed it couples of years ago. But the game stopped just working after the latest phone update.
★☆☆☆☆ Carrie R · Jan 17, 2025
Game recently appeared on my list [note: Play Pass]. Installs then repeatedly crashes upon start. Looks interesting but: I can't play If the developer won't update. :-(
