Geon is unquestionably improved over the original version of the game. Clearly Strawdog was listening to both editors' and gamers' complaints and they made serious efforts to fix things. The result is a game that plays more intensely, with more depth and above all is more fun, but it's still not quite a must-have. It's more entertaining, sure, but best in short bursts and with some local friends for split- screen action rather than trying to hunt people down online.

Overall -
AppSpy: GEON is an interesting mix of gameplay elements that doesn't quite fuse perfectly, but for a quick game on the go it proves to be a challenging experience.
AppSmile:
Geon, a colorful geometric puzzle game by Strawdog Studios and published by Chillingo, is now available from the app store. Although powered by bright neon colors, 3D levels, and beautiful polish, the game’s simpleness and uncomfortable controls keep it from being a truly exceptional game.
Pocket Gamer: Underneath the anarchistic posturing and severe haircuts, The Sex Pistols played some pretty simplistic and traditional rock ‘n’ roll.
In the same way, Geon might look like a progressive iPhone puzzler with neon-soaked 3D visuals and stylised menus, but underneath it plays like a simple, traditional maze runner.
