HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (4018 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ Cool game, if they didn't ruin it with the money grubbing adds
★★★★★ There's nothing I hate more than an actual great game made by the most filthiest money hungry beings on earth.

Worth the money2%

8 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ my only suggestions are 1: obviously the ads, i understand that when you have a free game they're needed to keep it free, but they're so frequent it's quite annoying and often causes me to exit out of the game in…
★★★★★ Also something you could do is instead of having ads, charge a few dollars to get the game itself, I'd be willing to spend 2 dollars for a ad free game.
★★★★★ But I makes sense because that's how they keep the game free, however I beat the 300 levels quick and want more and as of writing this it is June 18th 2026 at 1:47 pm est so please please please please please please…

Too many ads, I can't even enjoy the game. It seems the developer doesn't even care about the numerous complaints regarding this issue

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026
Game Is Hard

this game is so fun. I really really really wanna download this game every time I get a new phone thank you so much for making this game. It helps me make my mind better.

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
Too easy & too many ads

Had to turn up volume up all the way in order to complete a puzzle then it blasted an ad right afterwards! Didn’t give me a single second to turned it down first lol Also this game is made for toddlers not adults! Was hoping for challenges not simple games one after the other filled with puzzles even kids with the worst of brain rot could solve! Not to mention how the ads aren’t even remotely normal they are all those stupid gambling ads with ai slop!

Store description

Game is Hard is not your typical puzzle app. This is a pure brain puzzle experience designed for players who love being challenged. With its clever, minimalist style and unexpected interactions, it blends elements of brain games, logic, and device-based exploration into a collection of brutally tricky levels. Every puzzle breaks the rules — no flashy animations, no rewards for guessing. Just you, your mind, and a seemingly simple task that might hide a brilliant, almost impossible solution. Whether you’re into strategy, trivia games, or iq test challenges, Game is Hard invites you to test your patience, perception, and persistence. This is not about fast reflexes. It’s about slow, methodical progress. Some levels require silence. Others need movement. Many seem unsolvable — until they’re not. It’s a place for deep thinking and bold experimentation. Hints are available when needed, but progress is always earned. If you've enjoyed titles like brain test games, logic puzzles, IQ tests, moron test or brain teaser games, and if you love dissecting a good tricky quest, this game is for you. It rewards those who think differently — the curious, the clever, the quietly stubborn. With full support for offline games, you can play wherever and whenever you want — perfect for no wifi games, no internet games, or long travel sessions. Whether you're on airplane mode or deep underground, all puzzles remain playable. And yes — it’s hard. In fact, some say it's difficult, others call it impossible. But every puzzle is built with purpose and can be solved with logic. If you're a fan of brain training, mind games, or just enjoy testing your limits, you'll find yourself right at home. Each level acts like a black mystery, a box full of secrets waiting to be unraveled. You'll experiment with sound, light, rotation, and pressure — even waiting. This box won’t open easily. But when it does, the satisfaction is unmatched. Designed for fans of both classic and modern puzzle games, Game is Hard avoids the noise of the typical mobile fun games and focuses instead on clarity, challenge, and meaningful interaction. There’s no time pressure. No ads. No noise. Just deep puzzles that respect your intelligence. Whether you see yourself as a genius, an impulse problem-solver, or simply someone who enjoys a good brainly test, this game invites you to try. And try again. And maybe… finally, succeed. Features: • Handcrafted brain puzzle levels with clever, logical solutions • Hints are available — but never obvious • Works fully offline — great for no wifi games and free play • Minimalist, flat design with zero distractions • Touch, motion, and sound-based mechanics • Built for players who enjoy hard, clever, and unusual challenges • No scores or timers— just pure gameplay Can you solve the black box? Or will it remain closed forever?
