Have you ever experienced any enjoyment from simply figuring something out for yourself through trial and error and logic and reasoning?

To me, this game seems so simple, there are only three or four things that you might not be sure of at first but you can just observe the game to see what happens. E.g., when you see that your score only goes up when you beat your previous high score and is then set to the score that you achieved during the round, it becomes pretty clear how the scoring works. Someone can tell you this, or you can figure it out, you end up at the same place, the difference is that you could enjoy figuring it out and not just playing the game itself.

Generally I would rather spend my time playing a game than figuring out how to play the game.

As I said though, I think this game has a decent balance, and will be better with the library.

So I bought 2 retro flavored games this week, 10000000 and Wizorb. While better presented, too bad the latter couldn't hold my attention long. I kept coming to this!

I'm finally free...but I don't want to be!

Well, endless mode is unlocked, but I don't know how long that will hold my interest.

I just got back from a long vacation where I had extremely limited Internet access. Fortunately, I did see Eli's review of 10000000 and I bought the game solely based on that write up. I finished the game in a few days and I was both happy and sad to get to the end and to freedom. This is now one of my very favorite IOS games. A big thanks to both Eli for finding it and the developer for making it. Simply awesome!

Does every game need replay value for it to be considered good?

Almost every game before the 90's was about trying to get a high score. Many of which are said to be some of the best games invented.
