The Good:
Game concept is decent and, believe it or don't, there is a level of logic to be employed in this game. Most of this logic is in how you decide to rotate the rows. It is often more advantageous to change out the center row when the middle square is empty or contains a skull than to change out a side row that has two skulls unless this puts you in danger. I made it as far as level 11 as of the writing of this review.
The Bad:
Becomes unbeatable as you level higher outside of random and outrageous luck. Starting on level 8 it is not uncommon to encounter numerous skulls in sequence (I got 5 sequential rows at one point). The star groups don't increase your winning status, nor does the bonus level, they're just points. There is, regrettably, no possible way to avoid getting a line of skulls.
The Glitches:
There is a glitch that sometimes occurs where the center square, if you move the star off of it, will not accept other stars in it's empty star slot until it has been switched out after the first move. Also, there are times that a diagonal line of skulls will negate and register as negative points, and other times where it will not be removed from the board at all, as though a diagonal line of skulls isn't detrimental.
