Edit: Thank you for your response, however, this is still an issue after re-downloading it. 😥 I really liked the game but the execution has some issues. After I'd complete a second game, the loading icon just spins and spins until I force close the app and get back onto it. Then after two games it happens again. I'm hoping they fix the issue. If they do I'll come back and re-download.

This game is quite addicting. I would play it more if it weren't for all the ads. I don't mind ads in a game, gotta pay for development somehow, but an ad every two puzzles is massively excessive. Other than that, good presentation and good gameplay. 5 stars for controls, gameplay and graphics. 2 stars overall. Yes, the sheer quantity of ads pulls it down that much.

Fun game but way too many ads now. You get an ad after every level or if you're lucky every 2 levels. They at least tripled the amount of ads from when I first started playing and could beat 4 or 5 levels before an ad break. Increasing the ads to make people pay to get rid of them is in poor taste. Game is fun other than that. Pretty easy but the harder levels will give you some challenge and if you struggle they give you plenty of hints but I haven't needed to use one yet.

The game itself is fun although most levels are too easy. I give it two because of the sheer number of ads you have to watch. While i know free games need ads the volume of them in this game is ridiculous. After EVERY two boards it is another ad and because the levels are so simple this means you watch ads for longer than your playtime. I can only play for a short amount of time each time because there are just so many ads it makes the game unplayable after a while.

The puzzles are fun, with a good mix of challenge and ease. The biggest problem though is the ads. litterally every 30 seconds of in game time will trigger an ad that you have to sit through for at least 5 seconds, sometimes up to 30. This is enough for me to uninstall and not finish the puzzles because I am unwilling to let half of my play time be ads.

I really don't know how to rate the game. On the one hand it is one of the best, most addictive, fun puzzle game that deserves a 10 out of 5. On the other hand the ad issue is a major issue. At the end of three majority of every puzzle is a long winded ad which is hard to get out of. I'll be honest, i can handle ads. I don't care if an ad pops up even after every puzzle but let me "x" out and play on. Nope , you have to wait and wait and maybe after 15-20 you can back out. BAD bad bad

A rare one. Has ads every few levels, but you don't have to watch the full ad. You can skip. What makes it really rare is, you have access to get so many hints. You'll never get stuck, or feel like you have to turn to Google just so you can move on. I currently have over 35 hints saved. None were bought. There are SO MANY levels. It's great for passing by time. I highly recommend this game.

First levels are mind numbingly easy, I like though that you can skip to the highest difficulty. So I did. Those actually take some thought. Anyways after the first few levels I began getting ads after EVERY level, which would not be that bad (I mean it's a free game they have to make $ somehow) but the problem is after every ad the game freezes in an infinite loading screen forcing you to restart the app to continue playing. Fix the loading and I'll bump the score to a 4.

I got hooked as soon as I started playing! I love the style, the puzzles are progressively more challenging but in a gradual way. I wish the developers spent more time optimizing the game for modern screens, the hole-punch cutout on my screen makes the game render with a large black bar instead of a simple fill around the hole. Also, since I've paid for an ad-free experience, I would expect the notification in the corner to watch an ad go away, but they're still there

To give a fair review, I aimed for 100 levels played. Graphics and controls are about average, what you'd expect from a puzzler. Ads are skippable. My only issue is the ease of the puzzles. I don't feel a real challenge. I actually fell asleep playing, about halfway through 100. It may get harder later on, but until then I'll use this game to relax before bed.

Actually pretty fun despite the absolute shite ads I've seen of the game; it's colourful, the tutorial is short and to the point, and provides *just* enough of a challenge for you to actually use your brain, but not so much so that you get stuck on a level for hours (at least, I haven't experienced any levels like that yet). Fair warning, though- there are quite a few ads after you reach a certain point, and the game can lag a little, but I definitely recommend trying this game.

It was kind of okay at first, new to me. I played it around 240 times. In their ads, it looked like it might be challenging; but it has too few puzzles that reach even a little bit challenging, it's just too easy, no matter what the level - time to uninstall. After their reply to my review: Maybe you could make the grid bigger, thereby increasing the difficulty. Also make ads either shorter, or longer - but not as often?

Disappointing. 15 seconds of gameplay, followed by a 30 second add, followed by 30 seconds or more while the next level loads. The game forces you to watch an ad at least every other level, sometimes every level, and will regularly freeze when switching back to gameplay. I wanted to like this game. I really did! But the ads make it practically unplayable.

This game would have gotten 5 stars if not for all the ads. I can't play 2 puzzles without having to sit through an ad after each one. And they are long ads. How about an ad after each level instead of each puzzle? Ruins my enjoyment of the game. Otherwise I love this. Get rid of all those ads and I'll keep the game. Otherwise I'll find another that is more enjoyable to play.

This is a fine game, I saw the reviews about ads and figured it would be similar to games like wordscapes, I thought that's what you get for a free game. The ads make it unplayable. Not only is there an ad after EVERY single level (and the levels don't take long, it's not like a 10min puzzle, I've solved most of them so far in ~1 min), but a 30-second long, UNSKIPPABLE ad for the same thing. There is NO reason to not have a skip option after the first few seconds. Completely ruins the game.

Started playing a couple weeks ago. Was enjoying it on my Note9. Nice way to pass the time. So it would have been 4 star But there's an ad after every second puzzle. Seriously? That's way too often. Down to 3 star. Average. Today my phone (AT&T) updated to Android 10. Now after the ad the game displays a black screen with a tiny banner ad at the bottom and a loading circle animation at the top left. That's it. Locked up. Nothing else going on or that I can do to fix it except close it out ...

I used to like this game and when i get done here, i will be deleting it. the changes in the reward system annoyed me when you changed it to a monitory system but i don't need them but on a rare occasion so whatever. The change of the random generation from being able gain the high value to almost never get better than 5 coins took 2 stars away but i still kept playing because i don't need a hint but maybe once a week. Now today, i opened the game to the daily puzzles and found that the buy hints part of the puzzle had a flashing icon that will not go away, i am freaking done!!!!! not everyone want or can tolerate that annoying flashing. Thank you but i will find a less annoying puzzle. I hope you are proud of yourself for giving some poor soul seizures!

This game itself is fairly enjoyable, but the ads for downloading other games that come up after every two or three puzzles destroy the fun of solving those puzzles. These are full-screen ads, with a non-working X up in the corner to make you think you can get rid of it by tapping the X. (You have to hit the back button.) And of course the banner ads are down on the bottom of the page at all times. Ads, ads, ads!!!

Awesome relaxing game! 5 stars! 4/2/17 UPDATE: What has happened to this app... after a few years decided to redownload it and what a disappointment. There are 30 second ads every 3-4 levels. Unplayable.😡 Only gave two stars because the graphics are beautiful and when you can plays it's nice. Wouldn't suggest it as it's supposed to be relaxing and it's just annoying.

Totally addictive - a good challenge and it's hard to quit! June 2020 - Changed from 5 stars to 3 due to the changes. I still like the game, but I agree with all the others upset by the new scoring. What difference does it make to anyone if we get more hints? Should NOT have messed with it. I also wish there were more rotation puzzles. August 2020 - I think I just played my last round. Went through the daily puzzles and earned enough for 1 hint. Unbelievable! Great job of ruining a good game.
