cant play all of it without buying coins. the game gives you 2 coins per level (four if you watch an ad) but once you get to the later level groups it's not enough to unlock them. the fact that you have to unlock the levels is bad enough. other than that you still get a good chunk of them with the coins it gives you and it is a good time killer

Great gameplay and elegant aesthetic, but even if you finished every puzzle as you go (amassing only 2 coins regardless if level difficulty), the cheapest way to unlock all the puzzles would be by paying 30 dollars in the app. There are other slightly less pretty versions of this exact puzzle on other apps for free...maybe some people are paying the price but I think its absurd to charge more than 5 or 10 dollars for a bump in aesthetic.

I really love this game. It's very addictive. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars, is because there could have some kind of explanation about how your game play system works. The A B C thing for each day, the other way to play that is by grid size, the way the coins work, etc. Although it's easy to figure out eventually, there should be either an explanation in the tutorial or a menu option you can refer to. Also, it's ugly. Could definitely use an aesthetic overhaul.

Great gameplay. Criminal business model. The game is simple enough to be relaxing, yet complex enough to provide a challenge. However, you reach a point in the progression of the game where you don't have nearly enough coins to unlock the next pack without either paying for more or waiting 6 hours for 15 measley coins. I'm currently to the point where I can't play the game for two days until I build up enough coins. I guess it's time to look for a free clone in the play store.

I love puzzle games. As someone else noted, this is like the love child between sudoku and minesweeper. It's not a hard game, but entertaining. I would give this a 5 star except the pay to play aspect 30% through the levels. The game doesn't 'credit' you enough coins from each level in order to unlock the next level. You can't replay for more coins, and you only get one free challenge a day. So, you either have to pay, or you have to open the app every 6 hours for 10 coins until you have enough

This is one of the best puzzle games out there! I love the visual graphics and there are plenty of levels. This app also doesn't flood you with ads like so many other apps now a days. None of the puzzles are too easy or too hard and there is always the hint button if you get stuck. Its not a pay to play ad though because of how addicting it can be I do wish you earned a bit more coins per level. I'd recommend this to anyone who liked puzzle games. Love this game!

The gameplay is satisfying, however: I've finished 130 levels and have 400 more, and I can't continue playing unless I do one of the following: 1. Watch 1800 more ads (watch 4-5 non-skippable video ads for every level I play) 2. Log into the app every 6 hours for over 90 days to collect bonuses. 3. Pay $30 to buy enough coins to unlock the content. This app is absolutely a Pay-to-Play, which costs far more than any paid app.

Fun logic game! The concept is similar to minesweeper & logic puzzles, even sudoku in a way. You start by eliminating what u know can't be & then see the only possibilities left. It definitely needs ur attention, unlike a mindless arcade/puzzle type game with various possible solutions. It is easy to pick up & put down. My only complaint is the tutorial is short & basic, enough to get started. New rules seem to pop up that I didn't think I had to follow before. Wish they were clearly explained.

this is a tough one. the game itself is extremely satisfying, a 5 star experience. however, I have never encountered an unlock mechanic this frustrating. you get 2 coins for each puzzle you complete, most of the puzzle packs are 20 puzzles for 250 coins. so you have to play 125 puzzles (and you get 6, very easy ones, free per day) to unlock another 20. it encourages opening the app constantly without playing. also no way to turn off notifications in the app.

Valuable alternative to picross, as someone who's played way too many of those. I don't understand when uploading to the cloud decides to work, or not; device A has a scramble of levels saved as completed, and device B has a different set, and both have only SOME overlap, no matter how much I just tried manually uploading to cloud and reopening.

super addicting and ingenious logic puzzle! A hell if a lot of fun. I only wish the price to unlock each successive level was just a little cheaper. I know you gotta try and make that money but the barrier jumps from 50 coins to 100 and then to 150. Pretty much screams, "pay us or you go nowhere and don't get to play our game for the next week or two". I mean, if that's what you want I just won't play.

Its cute, unique, hardly has any ads, easy game controls, and hard enough to stay engaging. BUT. it has gotten to the point where the coins I earn from completing levels arent enough to unlock the next pack. Not to mention the only other way of getting them is to log in every 6 hours. I will change the review to 5 stars if this somehow gets fixed.

Interesting little puzzle. Very easy to learn and get started. Takes a while to get used to coins and ads: for instance, I don't buy coins, never unlock daily sets, prefer HARD (B) sets, and don't mind taking a break to watch new ads (but also I quickly exit out reruns because two coins is not worth it to me for 30 seconds of repetition) so overall it works for me. But someone who likes daily sets might find the occasional purchase of coins OK.

Best time killer for me. I like that the aesthetic is calm and pairs well with the game mechanics. I love that it is simple but can be complex. What I mean is that every level can be solved without guessing or using hints. You can systemically solve for where tents CAN'T be placed. Easy for small levels but tougher on larger levels. It keeps my brain focused but not strained. I especially love that you do not NEED to watch ads to move on to the next level, you get extra coins if you do tho, 5/5!

Decent game with the usual 'endure annoying ads to play' monetization model. Coins shouldn't be required to progress in the game, even if I can collect some free ones every hour. Puzzles are pretty fun, especially at higher levels. Update: Being able to progress without having to watch ads/get the time gated coins helps. Still would prefer not gating content with coins.

Very good logic puzzle game with a generous hint system that teaches. It doesn't change rules, it only makes the board larger and more populated. However, there is a bad pay wall that makes you either farm the daily puzzles 24 coins if you're willing to sit through all the ads, there is also a 6 hour cooldown for 10 free coins... which is probably there so you'll go in and play more often, but when your over 100 coins away from the next set unlock, there's no reason to be coming back that often.

Really nice puzzles. But the trees look like buildings. There should be more time between when you finish the puzzle and when it disappears - to analyze your decisions. Maybe add a "completed correctly" blinky light... Same for the warnings, give the player more time to figure out what they don't have right before putting up the warning. Also, only show the tree that is NOT linked to a tent, the opposite of what you've done there. all that blinking makes it hard to find the problem.

Update: still VERY addicting. I wish I can earn more coins for the difficulty level. It costs more to unlock the challenging levels, so it takes a lot longer to get there. As addicting as Mine Sweeper, but with more twist. When the grid gets so fine, the touch feeling is a bit too sensitive. Do you have a typo on some games? There are a few I couldn't solve no matter what.

This is a great game! Pure logic is all you need. every puzzle is very doable with a little patience and thought. Perhaps one is the greatest features is this what what a free game should be. Not getting bombarded with ads constantly. You have the option of watching ads to get a bonus, but it's your choice each time, and the choice doesn't show down the game play. You'll want to check back in intervals to claim the free coins that let you unlock new packs of puzzles as you progress. Have fun!

Apparently I have nearly 50 hours clocked on this game! I really enjoy this puzzle, and the huge variety of difficulties. If I need a more challenging game, I can play one. If I need an easier one, those are also available. I had a Google Play Pass for the first few months of playing, which completely eliminates all ads from the game. All coins packs are also free with that subscription.
