Associations - Word Games

Good idea, poorly executed It would be pretty fun, but it's very hard to accurately connect the words, and there are only a few tries before you have to watch a LONG add, for another chance, and then repeat. It quickly becomes tedious. I even went to far as to purchase no adds, because I thought it would be fun but I'm sure without that, it would be unplayable.

A few days after writing all below this, I'm uninstalling. Too frustrating, too many long adds. Initial review: Format design needs a lot of work. This ends up being a advanced game app just because of the design. If that was the goal, congratulations. Very difficult to draw accurate lines between blocks. Could / should be bigger. It can get very frustrating. Not relaxing at all. Just challenging in multiple levels. Then there's the same add over and over and over for mistplay....

It's a fun little game, but theres a big difference between knowing the groupings and being able to actually connect the words based on the placement of other words...so if the rng is bad or you dont perfectly strategize the match order, the level becomes unwinnable with no shuffle item. The game just keeps offering hints but that doesnt help - I know where it's supposed to go, you've made it impossible to do so!

ads are too frequent and broken everytime you turn around theres an ad. you cant really enjoy the game. on top of that, some of the ads are broken. once you get to the splash page at the end of the ad, you cant close it or move forward. you have to force stop the app which make you have to start the daily challenge all over again. this has happened to me 3 times in the last 30 minutes.

Game could be great, but it's lacking a lot. Too many ads and they are long ads every time. Interface is not player friendly. Instructions are also lacking. I failed more than a few times before I got the hang of how to connect words. Too much effort and time needed to truly play each level. I was looking for something with quicker play. Very interesting concept but poorly executed. Uninstalled.

It's amazing to play and gets my brain working, as someone who has a hard time focusing on certain things. I however don't like that you're limited on lives and have to watch an ad to get one more heart or start over, it just makes it worse when I don't want to loose my good progress by starting the level over again. I don't have full dexterity in my hands and it makes it hard for me to do this game without messing up constantly despite my smarts on each of the categories.

Can't even play due to technical error, and email to contact them isn't right either I tried several times to play & fail every time at level 1. I think it's because of the word misty. There were only 8 words left the last time I tried, all beverage words, still took my last life - Also can't send an email due to the address - get with the program, pun intended. 😅🤣😂

The concept is great but it's very finicky and it's easy to accidentally chose the wrong thing. Plus, it doesn't save game progress which is super annoying. I've tried playing the same level like 4 times before I just uninstalled because it's so annoying.

This could be such a fun game. It's very different and makes you use your brain. BUT. Too many ads. Way too many. Breaks up the addictive energy you have to carefully look at the tiles, remember, and think. Line you draw to connect tiles grabs many wring ones as you draw which is a pain.line is too thin, clear areas too small, tiles too close. Better instructions needed. Some tiles make a subject and a tile, some turn red and disappear off screen. No idea what's going on. Could be awesome!

I know ads are needed, but there are so many after each section and they are sooooo long! It takes time and a lot of patience to play. Do they want people to enjoy the game? My guess is most quit. I paid the $5.00 for no ads, but a warning; when you run out of moves (ONLY 3!) you have to choose to restart or watch an ad. UGHHH. So it's NOT completely ad-free. This is a European game with lots of terms Americans wouldn't recognize. But I have fun googling the definitions and memorizing them!

Way too many ads. Pay $5 to have "no" ads, and there is still a ridiculous amount of ads. Every ad is 30+ seconds in length. This wastes so much of your time. The game controls are not very good. The word balloons are too small and too close together making it easy to make mistakes by connecting the wrong words. (Guess what, every mistake means more ads even after paying for no ads.) I have one of the largest phone screens available right now and game control is very difficult.

Mildly interesting. Must connect words, not just tap them, so if they are stacked on top of each other, there's not a way to complete the puzzle without shuffling, which I didn't see as an option. Ads between everything. For example, to continue on the puzzle you're on, you must watch an ad to get more words, and some puzzles have three "+" more words. Ads after games. Unusual words and associations.

Good game, but controls and ads suck. Since the controls suck on small screens, why are you doing lives? Also I should not need to watch an ad to shuffle or restart. Making the categories line up should not be part of the goal of the game, if you want people to mindlessly play and blank out as they match words. This would up play time and also increase how many ads you play if you did it per successful level instead of failure. Though please ensure they are skippable. 🙏

Ads and controls ruining it. The words are too close together, making it easy to accidentally pick the wrong ones. Ad heavy! Why do I need to watch ads to make the extra words pop up? They should be replaced immediately. This mechanism makes no sense and disturbs the game play! I was through with it for sure when they said I "ran out of moves". Since when were there moves?!?!?

You have three trys to connect words, and that's it (unless you watch a video which only gives one life). Like you are supposed to do, you push a button to get more words to complete the level. However, there is an ad every single time you push to get more words. The hints are limited as well. Once out, you watch ads from then on. If they do replenish, I didn't have this game long enough to find that out. I just can't enjoy the game without the constant bombardment of ads. It's not for me.

Enjoyable game, but far, far too many ads. When the game is designed to need to refill words to continue and you get an ad with every refill... 4-5 ads per level is just too much. An ad between every level would be manageable. Words are also so small, you often connect a word you didn't intend and lose a life... Necessitating more ads. As it stands, it's too annoying to continue playing, so I'm removing the app after this review. Fix the ads, I may get it again and update my review.

The controls and lives system make this game infuriating to play. The controls (dragging your finger through whatever words you want to connect) don't always allow you to select what you want. Because of this, the life system set in place becomes infuriating very fast. The life system would not be a problem if there was a setting that allowed it to be toggled on and off. As for the way in which words are selected, tapping would be a better solution mechanics wise. Wasted potential!
