### 5/5 — Opinion

*2026-01-18, version 1.4*

Food yummy

### 3/5 — Would be 5 stars if I could save

*2025-05-08, version 1.4*

Love this game and would have no problem giving 5 stars if I could save. It’s very annoying to get involved in a game only to have to walk away to do life stuff and come back to have to start a new game. Please update with a save feature.

### 2/5 — Can’t pause/ save

*2025-04-19, version 1.4*

This is an addictive game for sure. Challenges my way of thinking to combine the numbers. But after playing for 30+ minutes and needing to stop and attend to life and NOT being able to pick up where you left off is annoying asl. Once you make it past getting a block to 9 or 10, you may as well stop if you know you don’t have another 45 minute to finish playing to avoid not being able to come back and finish. ALSO if you don’t mind the game forceably starting over for no reason. After a while the game starts glitching then refreshes out of no where when I’m on block 11. So 5 stars for game concept, 1 star for app logistics. Now i see why only .03% of people can make it to 13 because we can never make it there anyway!

### 3/5 — Doesn’t Save

*2025-01-28, version 1.4*

Love the game would give it 5 stars is I could save my progress

### 3/5 — I wish I could save

*2024-06-28, version 1.3*

I really enjoy the game. 
I am almost obsessed with it, I am playing it so much. 
It’s fun and relaxing and yet challenging at the same time.
But I hate that I can’t save. 
I would give it 5 stars if I could save. 
I had a game on hard and was over 30 and put my phone done for maybe 5 minutes and the app reset. All of my progress was lost. 
Can we
Please add a save feature???

### 1/5 — Doesn’t save

*2023-12-13, version 1.3*

Great game but you can’t save your progress. It’s ok for a quick easy game but it would be helpful to be able to save your progress. Especially while playing the more difficult levels.
