  • Ads ruin it Deleted the app

    Happy to have ads for free games and this game is fun but the amount of ads is absolutely ludicrous. I get having an ad after each round even though they are annoying and battery draining but 5-6 ads within each level and then the one one after is just wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too many. Just taking it too far.

    Hello! We appreciate that you’re willing to watch ads in a free game, but we hear you—having so many ads in one level is frustrating. We’re really sorry this has taken away from the fun of the game, and we appreciate your feedback.
  • Increasing Ads becoming Unreasonable

    This was a 5 star game, but the number of ads went from being reasonable to unbearable — not sure if it was a recent update or if the developers decided that once you get to a certain level that you’d pay for the app if they made it more annoying not to, but I no longer enjoy playing when every few moves I get interrupted by yet another ad. For me it’s having the opposite effect and I’ll probably stop playing.

    A few minor changes could help with gameplay. Most of my mistakes were accidental. Rather than toggling the delete/select mode it’d be better to have two explicit buttons to select one or the other, where selecting the existing mode is no operation — then I could just click every time rather than having to always look and double check that I’m in the mode that I thought I was and not accidentally change it.

    I’d also like a mode that lets me make mistakes and then just make me figure out where I made a mistake, if I did. Sometimes reverse engineering your mistake is its own interesting challenge.

    Hello! Thank you for the feedback. We are sorry for the problem you've experienced. It was already fixed, so we hope you can enjoy the game again. Have fun playing!
  • A good number game

    Fun with its own “doh” moments as you press the wrong button thinking that you were deleting rather than including or vice versa. Love the fact that it gives you another chance to keep going. Couldn’t put it down.
  • Too many ads

    This is an EXCELLENT game that really gives the brain a workout but is destroyed by ads coming up every couple of minutes and running for 30 seconds. I understand that it’s revenue for the developer but you need to shorten the ads to 15 seconds and allow people to play the game.

    Hi! Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry ads bother you. After 5 seconds since the beginning of a video ad, if that's not an ad for a hint or for an additional life, there must appear an option to skip the ad: a fast forward or a cross-shaped button. If there's no such button, please contact us via the "Help" in the app. We'll be happy to help!
  • It’s THE game to keep forever!!

    This is my favourite pass time game! it is very relaxing and unlike others I can never get sick of playing it! It is much better than Sudoku! Thank you so much 🙏
  • Too many Ads mid level

    I get that ads keep the game free but having an ad mid level and sometimes after consecutive selections is ridiculous. Ads between levels are fine but not mid game. I liked it but just can’t put up with the ads anymore.

    Developer Response

    Hi! We appreciate your understanding that ads help keep the game free, but we know that ads during levels can be very frustrating. We're sorry this has affected your experience, and we’re taking your feedback into account as we continue to improve the game.
  • How to ruin a game with ads

    Let me be clear: I completely understand and accept ads in free games. The developers have to make money from somewhere. However, there’s a point when the ads become too much and a turn-off from the game. At the start I got an ad after every few levels, then one after each level. I was fine with that. A short ad after each level is a worthwhile trade-off. However I then started getting another ad before the next level as well, which started to feel like overkill, and then, worst of all, in the middle of levels. I don’t know if it relates to how long you’ve been playing the level, or the number of moves you’ve made, but it’s extremely frustrating when you think you’ve worked out which numbers to mark and which to erase, only to have an ad jump in when you start marking numbers. A number of times I’ve found myself tapping the wrong number after the ad and losing a life because of the distraction. A shame, because I really like the game, particularly the events, but I find myself closing the game rather than continuing playing because I’m fed up with the ads. The irony is that they’d probably have me watching more ads if there was only one after each level, because I’d spend longer playing the game.

  • Great challenging game, but ……

    The idea of the game is great. The levels are well done. The game layout has 2 critical mistakes. First, the game uses a toggle rather than a select between erase and circle. This toggle results in >95% of the errors I make. I hit erase and then lose a life because it toggled to circle. The display is not obvious enough regarding which is chosen. It should be more obvious, and a switch should be programmed in settings to let the user choose to select or toggle. Second, the sums on the colored regions are too small, and difficult for elders to read. A font 25% larger would make a big difference when playing the game during insomnia. Those 2 issues drop the game from 5 stars to 3.

  • Too many adds

    It’s generally accepted that there will be adds between games but this now has adds in the middle and when ever you open the app. Can literally have 3 sets of adds on reopening app. It’s getting close to more adds than game.
