Must Buy Gems to Finish Stories
This is an enjoyable game but I will be deleting it. The stories are designed to give a logic approach to solve the rows and columns. The key is you must be able to determine the correct order to solve the rows and columns. The reason I will be deleting Crimo stories is as the game progresses the developers omit the needed logic and you are left with guessing. The only way left to finish the story is to continually buy gems that allow you to continue instead of restarting. It appears the logic begins to disappear starting with the second “collection”.Show lessItsJustMe

Greetings ItsJustMe, Thank you for your review. We understand that it is frustrating to end up on levels where you are forced to guess. We also hate it. That's the reason why we make sure that no level requires guessing, but only logic. It is possible that we didn't explain correctly (or not enough) some puzzle techniques. And we would gladly help you if you send us a screenshot (at games.support@smach.io) or you can also ask for help on Reddit. There is a very welcoming and nice community at https://www.reddit.com/r/nonograms/ See you next time, detective ;)Love it BUT
Too many ads, I get an ad after every grid….........,..
Adverts
Like the idea of the game and have enjoyed playing it so far. It’s ruined by age inappropriate advertising that no 12 year old should be looking at. Why are the adverts aimed at 17+ ?
Morally bad.JustNicks
Great game, beware spending any money
I’ll start off by saying this was a very clean looking and fun game that I enjoyed, and has a great design. HOWEVER, I am usually one to spend money on a game once and enjoy it, and sometimes spend money on games that I believe deserve the support (this was one of them). I saw the ad free ( it was seven or eight dollars, VERY steep compared to a lot of great games you can get on iOS and not pay a penny more) but I thought that I would support it and continued to play.
Anywho, I get to the end of the chapter and now I have to pay more, or partake in anslowburning system to unlock the next.
TO THE DEVELOPER, the ad free perk is too high to unknowingly hit a wall an hour or two in of game play. Drop that down, or offer a package, or at the very least, let players know that even though they’ve spent a comparatively hearty amount to not have ads, it doesn’t mean they will keep playing at their own leisure.
Love,
Sweet pea
P.S I’d like to hi-light that it’s really fun and well put together. If anyone reading this is curious, play the game and watch the sparse ads! Maybe pay for the next chapter! Idk, don’t pay for the ad free whatever, it’s not worth it.Show lessallison traytray

Greetings allison, We take our players' feedback very seriously, so allow us to start by thanking you for your detailed review. We heard you loud and clear. These past days, we have been thinking about improving the game in many ways. We want things to be easier to understand, purchases (including yours!) to be worthier and the gating system to unlock the next episodes to be more entertaining. These are some important changes, so it will take time to deliver them. However, we can assure you it's our top priority. Thank you for your understanding, and once again thank you for your review. Enjoy your weekend, detective!Excellent Game!
This game is fantastic! The stories are well-written, engrossing, and exciting. The gameplay is fantastic too, and the small number of ads is amazing. The music is very good as well. (Though I noticed that one of the levels has the same music that plays in the archives in Prodigy Math game. I’m unsure if that was purposeful or not?)Show lessAkira Hyrule

Greetings Akira Hyrule, That's a really kind review! Thank you! We always try to do our best to craft each episode. Truth be told about the music, we don't have our own music composer. Instead we purchase and handpick all the songs from a website (melodyloops if you are curious). The "Prodigy Math" game you mentioned probably had the same idea. However, we have our own ambient/background/foley composer who makes all of Miami's sounds ;) Enjoy the game, detective!Repetitive mini games
The puzzles were kind of fun the first few times, but when you have to do one for 30 seconds, it gets monotonous and tedious.Darryn w
Not a fan
I cannot even sing into play. Why do I need to create an account it is so useless.adamlof
Good game
Fun to play and just difficult to be enjoyable. Very different from most other games.danwgd
Pretty good
The cases are pretty interesting and you don’t have have to spend a bunch of money to speed through things or enjoy the game. It’s been a while since there has been a good crime investigation game out. The only thing I would recommend is ongoing story arcs for future cases. That’s part of what made games like Criminal Case so appealing
Update (January 12th, 2023): With the release of the newest case, I think this game has really found its footing. The plot went in a way I wasn’t expecting and this is the first case to end on a cliffhanger instead of being a standalone.Show lessHeroman101

Greetings Heroman101, Thank you for your warm review, we are truly flattered. About the ongoing story arcs, this is something we have been thinking about since the very beginning and something that we would love to include in future updates. While we can't promise when, how, or if it will be done, we can however promise you that we'll give it our best. We *really* want this too ;)Pleasantly Surprised!
Usually these games have an overload of ads allll over the place, but that is not the case with this! Also, instead of being a merge game or a match 3, is sudoku! And there isn’t any cash system and I do not think there is an energy or lives system either! One thing I do wish they would add are a type of ‘skins’ (??) The sudoku board can be a little confusing and having the option to switch to a traditional board would be awesome! Over all 15/10 game 😌Show less🐻🐝🍯
Developer Response
Greetings honey lover, Thank you for such a pleasant review ☺️ Guess what we have in our pipeline? "Skins"! Great minds think alike, or something along that line, right? But first, we must release our next big update: Little Terem. Also, you mentioned "switching to a traditional board". Would you like to send us an email at games.support@smach.io with more details? See you soon, detective!
