  • Technical problem is Frustrating

    Okay, I love this game but the controls which consist only with a toggle switch have given me trouble from the start. You choose an option to circle keep or delete any number on the board. The problem is , and it happens many times in every game, is that say you choose delete and the game slips it back to keep and vice versa, there are only two choices and it should not be hard to keep you choice in the place you have chosen.

    I do the math, decide what action I will take and pick the keep/delete option I want but it does not necessarily stick with your choice.

    I know that I could just say, no big deal, but it is a big deal.

    Hi! We're glad you enjoy the game but sorry to hear about the issues with the toggle switch. The app does not change the toggle position by itself, but it may happen if you accidentally touch the toggle. Your feedback is valuable, and we'll consider it for future updates to improve the controls. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
  • Great Game !!

    I’m enjoying this game. It is fast becoming my go to game. I almost didn’t download it because so many complained of ads. While I agree there are a lot of ads, I’m here to tell you to not let that deter you from downloading and enjoying this game.

    For instance, I was intrigued by the “nuts & bolts” games so downloaded several to try. They all have ads. Some as many as 3 ads in a row and absolutely NO way out—you are forced to watch all ads, and those ads last anywhere from 70 seconds to almost 2 minutes. This game is not like that (and I hope the developers of this game never get that desperate (greedy). The ads on this game allow you to close them quickly. I understand developers put in a lot of effort to create a game worth playing and need to make money, so I will put up with ads — to a certain extent. This developer does not go crazy like so many do. Download a “nuts & bolts” game and you’ll quickly appreciate these developers.

    I like this game so much that I would be willing to pay to be ad free. Heck, I would be willing to actually purchase this game if they asked a fair price.

    BOTTOM LINE: This game is challenging. It’s fun. It’s addictive. I love it and am so glad I found it. (Ironically, I found it because it was one of the ads on the nuts&bolts game that I deleted).

    Developers, PLEASE don’t follow the other developers and add more or longer ads. Please consider offering an ad-free option that is truly ad-free.

  • Makes you think

    Good exercise in maths to solve puzzles. Well made like your other games.

    When I fail, and I do, the watch video for more lives button does nothing. No error message or no video. I guess there isn't one to play but would be better if there was some indication of this , that I can't watch a video for extra life, rather than nothing.

    Sometimes I forget to switch modes and make a last mistake so that extras life video helps me not have to restart!

  • So many ads

    If you lose both lives, you can either restore 1 life by opting to watch an ad, or you can ‘start over’… which also initiates an ad.
    There are ads every time you start a new game.
    There are ads that randomly pop up in the middle of a game.
    You will be spending about 70% of the time watching ads and trying to tap the tiny cross in the corner (3 times per ad) to proceed.

    The actual game itself is great, but I struggle to play longer than 5 minutes without wanting to throw my phone against a wall because I’m forced to watch ads constantly.
    I understand that ads are what keeps these games free, but it’s a bit counterintuitive if you have so many ads that no one wants to play your free game anyway.

    Most games these days are like this. What a world we live in.

  • Great game

    I love this game because you can use your brain to think and it is good education for young children probably in second or third grade and up. Fun way to get your child’s mind thinking during the summer instead of having them watching videos on YouTube.👍I would definitely recommend this game to other people. 😄

  • Meh…

    I very well maybe the only to struggle with this, but I don’t like the circle and erase options. I wish that they were separated or maybe different colors when one or the other is selected. I lose more lives swearing that I selected the circle option and the erase option is actually selected or vice versa.

    Maybe the background turns red when erase is selected and the background turns green when the circle option is selected. Just a suggestion 🤷🏾‍♂️

    Hi! Thanks for your suggestion. We understand how confusing the circle and erase options can be. We'll consider your idea of color-coding the options for better clarity. Your feedback is very helpful.
  • Nice change from sudoku

    After a couple days I went for the ad free version (particularly reading the comments about ads within the levels). Mostly enjoying this as a relief from all of the sudoku games out there. I have two suggestions:
    1. Can it be made to rotate on the screen (I can’t be the only person who hates playing games on an iPad with the home button and cable at the bottom)
    2. A pencil option would be preferable to the outright right/wrong option - sometimes you just need to highlight a square while you’re adding up (particularly on the larger grids)

    Generally, though, a good game for unwinding at the end of a day.

    Hi! Thank you for purchasing the ad-free version and for your suggestions. We’ll consider screen rotation and changes to the pencil option for future updates, though cannot name any terms for that yet. We're glad you're enjoying the game and appreciate your feedback.
  • Purchase no ads to make it playable

    I’ll start out by saying that no ads for this game is a one time $5 USD charge, which is so much better than some other puzzle games that charge subscription fees or insane amounts.

    I have always been of the mind that if I like a free game, I’ll buy some add on from the developer (usually no ads) because I don’t mind spending money on a great app. This game is fun and challenging. I probably would have bought no ads anyways.

    That being said, I want new players to know that at some point (I’m not sure if it was a change that happened at some time, or if it happens once you get to a certain level) the game starts throwing ads at you mid-puzzle. In my opinion, this really takes the steam out of completing the puzzle. You could be adding numbers in your head and suddenly not see them anymore. To me, it’s pretty annoying and disruptive. I understand why the devs did it, but I want to let anyone know before they go into it since it made the game a lot harder for me.

  • Adds mid level!

    Adds after every level is to be expected but adds popping up during a level for no reason, ie requesting a hint or a an additional life- adds for this is fine. It is infuriating and ruining the game when they suddenly and unexpectedly pop up. It interrupts your flow and actually to the point where I will stop playing it despite actually loving it and finding it addictive.
