Ads are disturbing.
It’s so unfortunate because I love this game. I’m sick of seeing ads that degrade women and children. These ads are for games that show characters of homeless women and children who are constantly struggling, mostly because they have been thrown out by their spouse and no longer in a “relationship” Or thrown out because they are not dressed like a stereotypical tramp. Gamifying homeless women and children is disgusting. These games imply that a woman needs to comply or looking a certain way otherwise she and her children are doomed. Another ad is for a game that degrades women by choosing outfits/hair etc for a date and then winning when the entire look is suggestive at best. No makeup = lose etc. There are more disturbing ads for games showing women and children in burning homes, digging out of the snow etc. I tried to complain but there’s no one to contact. Also the volume on ads will switch on very loudly despite having the game volume settings to mute. They took a great fun game and ruined the experience for revenue. I’d be ok with occasional non disturbing ads… and my user settings should be respected.Show lessgeekglasses
So much time to get to levels that insure you fail from your first move…
I agree 100% with “chessacr” and their review. Not only does the game have the advantage of giving you pieces to insure that you lose BUT I played one level, on the Journey area, more times than I care to recount. The reason for this was being given the 3 pieces to incorporate into the puzzle, not just any 3 pieces, the very first moves of the puzzle, and it showed you by greying the pieces out that you couldn’t even play the very first three pieces! This is beyond an unfair algorithm. If you can’t play the very first plays of the game, by its own design….what’s the point of solving so many puzzles to advance to a level that simply cheats. I had enjoyed the game for around a week before getting to this level, so it does take skill & time to achieve this point, but should you not be rewarded with simply more advanced puzzles? Why make it so that you can not even place the very first pieces. The algorithm needs work.Show lessVicki 3835
Too many ads!!!
It’s a great game and I enjoyed the challenge even after only a few levels.
However having to watch an ad between EVERY level is too much and I’ll be removing the game.
I get that the object of the developer is to make money but it detracts too much from the game and spoils the experience.GG99545
Great game, Ads are extremely annoying
O have played this game for more than a year and I have preserved because I like the challenge of the challenges and daily challenge too. I am about the delete the game, not because playing it is bad but because, as I usually focus on the journeys, o can play a 10 second game and then have to wait 30 seconds before o can play the next game. This is fine if it’s only once or twice but I can sometimes play for an hour or so and just find it so frustrating that I have to watch so many ads. I would happily pay a one off fee for a pro version of this game to remove the ads.Show lessKaz2212

I got my highest score the very first day I played and then the game actually changed and got harder right from the beginning! Now I can’t get anywhere close! It’s like it figures out the pieces you can least use and gives you exactly those! The game is impossible as is and not fun at all. Two things that might help are 1) an undo for the last move and 2) always replace a piece after it is played so there are always 3 to choose from with an given move. Finally, TODAY I clicked update here in the app store on the Woodoku page and it updated my app. Then, after that, in the game, I got a prompt about a new 2024 version of the game asking me to download with Yes and No choices. Neither allowed me to choose it and I had to close the app to get out of the prompt. But why would the update happen there? It’s supposed to update through the app store. Plus, I did update through the app store today. Why wasn’t that the most recent version? Something isn’t right with this. Also, by the way, this is my second low review. My first one mysteriously disappeared. Hmm…Show lessPM871
Ads
Been playing this game for many many years now. However am not happy anymore because I hate being half way through a game and ads come up. Some of them don’t close which means I have to close and reopen the app. Some ads take forever to finish and there’s no where to pay for ad free. I understand you must have some ads but if you do why does it have to come up while playing a game. I mostly play the weekly challenges which I enjoy the most. Plus all those ads are off no interest to me whatsoever. If wasn’t for that would definitely have given 5*Show lessMsJS2024

Found it on one of Facebook shorts ads.
BTW great marketing strategy ticking people’s brain in getting into downloading the app.
It’s been one of my essential travelling companions.
The only part is that there are a bit too many options to get into the puzzles, but not enough incentives. There is Classic, Daily challenge, and Journeys. Usually I’ll just stick to Classic and Daily Challenge. Journeys seem a bit redundant and not attractive enough.
But other than that, I really enjoy playing the game.Show less閻思皖
Does this game have an unfair edge?!
Hi. Sorry if this has already been brought up before. Although I very much enjoy this game and play it frequently, I can’t help but feeling that, as currently designed, the app has a distinct and unfair advantage over its players, by the simple fact that each new set of pieces is generated after the previous one has been placed by the gamer. As the game progresses, it will always come to a point in which it should be trivial for the algorithm to come up with a set of figures that are impossible to accommodate, thereby ensuring you lose. It seems to me that it would be better if each new set was created and displayed onscreen after the first two of the previous one have been placed, but before the last one is. This way, the player can’t benefit unfairly from viewing the next set in advance when placing the first two, but neither could the game gain an advantage, not knowing how the last piece will be placed on the board. This would also add an element of skill in deciding how to place it in order to maximize its effectiveness, considering what pieces will follow. I hope this suggestion is clear enough.Show lesschessacr
Let me be honest.
Steve Harvey caught my eye and I hoped he wouldn’t align his name with a crud game. Thankfully, I was right. I’m usually frustrated after playing new apps because I’m instantly met with adds after coasting through the levels. Which are generally boring. This game isn’t the same. There’s a correct balance of variety, difficulty and adds. One of my rare feedback moments of a positive💟Show lessThundar776
I love the game but…
Recently it’s been extremely laggy, which unfortunately causes me to “accidentally” place tiles where I never meant to place them. I have a newer phone and nothing else on my phone lags (and this game didn’t use to, either!) so I’m leaving a 3-star review in the hopes the developers will fix whatever issue is causing the game to lag. In effect, I try to pick up a tile and it doesn’t move, so I lift my thumb off the screen, and because of the lag, the tile finally DOES move—and gets plopped somewhere on the board randomly. Very annoying!
Other than that, I really like this game. I notice a couple of reviewers saying the game seems rigged against them, providing the wrong tiles. Personally, I feel that it forces you to think about your strategy by not giving you obviously easy-fit tiles as you progress to a higher score. I like that and it makes me feel like my brain is getting a good workout. I was initially quite frustrated with it for that same reason but noticed that as I played more, I could see that the strategy isn’t really to fit all the tiles neatly together, but to almost do the opposite: take as many wins as you can, even if the board looks a little messy. I feel like in that respect, it’s a really good strategy game that is a rare find amongst most games which are more about luck or very surface-level strategy!Show lesstwoandanh
