Confusing

You can fulfill all obvious parts of the puzzle, but the puzzle won’t be “solved”. Almost like there are multiple solutions and the game is only looking for one.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, and sorry for the frustration! Every board is checked by my algorithm before release and puzzles with more than one solution get tossed out, so proving me wrong would be quite the feat. Try it though, if you mail the board to hello.guriddo+akari@gmail.com and it really has two solutions, premium is on me :D My bet is on something small hiding in plain sight, one unlit cell in a corner, or a bulb next to a zero wall.

Scam Ads

After beating a level I got an ad which said my device was comprised with lots of other typical scam verbiage.

Response from developer

Yikes - that “your device is compromised” ad is the opposite of relaxing. Ads are delivered by an external ad network, so I don’t hand‑pick them and sometimes the close button behaves… creatively. If you see one like this again, please tap the little info/AdChoices icon on the ad and report it there. Sorry you ran into that✌️

Ads before and after you play

Ads to refill play tokens, ads autoroll after every game. I’m shocked you don’t have to watch an ad to install the app.

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for your feedback! I totally understand that ads can be frustrating, but just to clarify—there isn’t an ad after every game. Interstitial ads actually have a cooldown of several days. Are you using the latest version and closing the ads properly? On a side note, ads help keep Tawa running, as the app currently costs more to maintain than it earns. Without them, there wouldn’t be a Tawa at all! We always try to keep the balance fair, but I appreciate your thoughts and will take them into account. Thanks for giving the game a try! 😊

Simply the best Akari app!

Mathematician here, I absolutely love logic and number puzzles. Sudoku was my favorite for a long time until I discovered Akari! Now that Nikoli no longer has an app, this one is a must! Thank you!

Fun type of puzzle… all stuck behind a pay wall/ads

At least make maps for free in the first couple of chapters and then i different place to purchase more maps. Kinda crazy, makes it less fun that it’s $2… A PACK

Response from developer

Hey omdave83, not sure if I get you right, but you immediately get 60 pack games for free + 365 free Daily games + 52 ultra difficulty Weekly games per year. Isn't that a lot, how quickly are you solving the games if you don't have several hours, if not days of free fun with them? :D
