However I’ve recently unlocked the mage and found you can have really long games, more than you can play in one sitting. Most of the time you can minimise the game and resume, but lately it’s been losing all my progress and I’m back to the menu, and all the coins I’d earned have gone. ### 4/5 — Just needs a save button *2024-08-31* Amazing game. So simple yet so addictive. Challenging and fun. As the other review said, just needs a save button so that you don’t have to complete a run all at once ### 4/5 — 目標が薄い *2023-10-24, version 1.0.47* ゲーム性は非常に新しく面白いものですが、5番目のキャラクタのコイン+コインから派生するルビー+雷ギミックが強すぎて、4・５ステージを単純作業にしてしまいます。アビリティも適切に組めばレベルアップなしでもクリア出来るため、レベル要素に触れずに全クリ出来てしまい、レシピ開放やレベル上げのその先が無いのでモチベーションが出ません。5番目のキャラ解放以降がヌルゲーとなってしまっているため、雷が弱くなるような6番目のダンジョンの実装を希望します。あと「シュート」って概念が曖昧で、使ってもよくわかんなかったです。 ### 4/5 — There are a couple of bugs *2023-10-14, version 1.0.47* In dungeon 2 there's a merge recipe that can't made other than by buying because it's a repeat of another recipe with a different result. In dungeon 4 there are two weapon recipes that can't be made because the short sword object doesn't spawn. I was annoyed for the longest time thinking I missed something. ### 4/5 — Needs a Save Feature or More Difficulty *2023-09-29* This game has a ton of potential. At first I thought it was one of the most interesting strategy games I’d ever played. But after I upgraded the characters a bit, the game got so easy that it became impossible to finish a game without forcing a loss, because I never had time to play a whole game while doing my best. Forcing a loss is a really unsatisfying experience, but with no save feature, the only other option is to walk away and lose all the accumulated coins. This seems like an easy fix, and maybe a save feature could even be monetized. But more difficultly when using leveled-up characters wouldn’t hurt either. ### 4/5 — Great game *2023-09-05, version 1.0.42* A great game for the evening after a hard day. If you figure it out, it's not bad) Help Ukraine. We need it. The whole world should know about russia's crimes ### 4/5 — Awesome Game *2023-08-05* This is really well made and a fun game. The rules are really unique and the difficulty is well balanced. My only complaint is that there is essentially no tutorial. You basically have to teach yourself how to play it, but that’s kind of fun in its own way. ### 4/5 — Really interesting mechanics *2023-08-04* Very fun once you get the hang of it, could use some tutorial or explaining as I didn’t come across a system like that before. Some of the events are unpredictable like where or when would a square be clickable to reveal a monster or an item and for some reason the squares around the monster turns gray. I don’t know if it’s a bug but twice a monster just went full super saiyan broke the code and moved to another square across the board; one of this time he replaced a sword that was vanished. It’s a really fun bug so improve on it please. Much love. ### 5/5 — Really solid puzzle game *2023-06-19, version 1.0.42* This surprised me, I didn’t expect the depth of the combinations and mechanics that this bite sized puzzle game offers. It’s really fun to maximise your score by figuring out which things are best to combine together. There’s a few very tiny visual glitches I’ve noticed but besides that everything works great. ### 5/5 — Tintupng *2023-06-10* Tulng ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — RUSSIAN GAME *2023-09-05, version 1.0.42* THIS IS RUSSIAN GAME MADE BY RUSSIAN DEV, BY DOWNLOADING IT YOU’LL SUPPORT RUSSIAN GENOCIDE ### 1/5 — 0/10 *2023-09-05, version 1.0.42* Розробник з Москви 🤡 ### 1/5 — Data scraper *2023-08-09* Why is this 9yo Russian data scraping malware even allowed in the App Store, let alone featured in the editorial section? What drugs are being mixed in with the koolaid at Apple HQ? **Developer response:** Our game does not scrape for data and does not contain any malware. We are sorry if you have had an unpleasant experience with it. ### 1/5 — Garbage Wrapped in a Great Idea *2023-08-03* I do not leave reviews often, but I feel this game has some solid potential, and I really wish the creator(s) could recognize that. Play the game for five to ten minutes, and you can tell that this could be a VERY addicting game. However, after playing a couple times you quickly realize that it's near impossible to make it very far. As you progress through the level, your objective is to craft weapons to attack/kill the creatures and score as many points as possible by collecting more items. As you clear a tile by either destroying the creature or merging items, you then have a blank tile appear at the top of that column. Unfortunately as you clear the initial stock of useful items from the screen, you get completely stiffed of items as you flip these new tiles. About 50 points in on almost every playthrough I would start to flip almost no items to help attack, just more creatures with larger HP. So you are forced to attack "barehanded" which drains your health. Why play a game that gives you absolutely NO way to "win". Upgrades cost exponentially more gold, and with how little gold you acquire in a playthrough you either have to "pay to win" or you need to grind for almost no satisfaction and pure frustration. ### 1/5 — ？ *2023-06-12, version 1.0.42* 意味わからない ### 2/5 — Warning!! Closing Ads deletes your progress! *2026-01-23* I do like this game. It was fun and I was starting to do well. I had one good run, finished strong, and finally unlocked dungeon 2. I was excited. Then an ad popped up, and I watch for about 30 seconds only to realize this ad was about to take me 4ish minutes. So I closed it like any normal person. Only to find my whole good run was lost. This is a horrible move, no warning. I guess you either have to watch the ad for 4 minutes or never progress. Deleting the app now… ### 2/5 — Forced ads *2023-06-10* Are a no go ### 3/5 — Honestly *2025-10-22* It’s fun, has a learning curve. Needs an update. ### 3/5 — Fun But confusing *2023-09-04, version 1.0.42* Needed time to understand how the game works, should be improved by giving more information in the tutorial section. As a lifelong gamer, insufficient info for gamers to understand and play makes one bore a little. But to say the least, I do enjoy playing so, But it gets a little tired, it's sth similar like 2048 but rpg instead. Happy to say it is one of few games in the app store that is well done! ### 3/5 — Fun but now what *2023-08-11* It was really fun but after you unlock everything (does not take long) I can’t find a point to keep playing. I regret paying for the ad free experience given how short the game is. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 재밋는데 *2026-08-15* 렉이 넘 심하오.. 프리징 버그 수정좀 ### 5/5 — 화면이 멈춰요 *2026-08-07* 화면이 자꾸 멈춰서 튜토리얼도 못 넘기고있어요... ### 5/5 — Bem feito *2024-04-29, version 1.0.47* Jogo bem feito e divertido, não tem quem não goste ### 5/5 — Phenomenal. *2023-11-27* Admittedly, I did find the game a tad frustrating at first, but it was due to my own error, as I was not strategizing correctly. This is a game that focuses heavily on merging items experimentally, making it as far as you can, and using your accumulated gold to upgrade various attributes. It takes a little patience, but the payoff I found to be worth it; once you begin upgrading, it all becomes a lot more manageable. There are forced ads here and there, but are easily skippable, and are not nearly as frequent as the vast majority of free apps you’ll find on the App Store. I personally paid the small fee to remove the ads because I felt the developers definitely earned it. “Toss a coin to your Witcher,” and all that. I saw some reviewers suggest an option to save your current session, so you can return to it later. I’m inclined to agree, I think that would be a great feature. A lot of developers miss this, I had the exact same critique for Minecraft Dungeons. But I digress. TL;DR: Excellent puzzle dungeon crawler, I play it daily. Huge recommend. ### 5/5 — Save session *2023-09-18* Smart idea! It's really simple & engaging game! But it should be better if I could save my progress through dungeons as each session can be too long (as a mobile game session) ### 5/5 — Jogo muito divertido *2023-09-15, version 1.0.42* Jogo simples e divertido, exemplo de básico bem feito ### 5/5 — qmixx *2023-09-08, version 1.0.42* лучшая игра, еще и от русского чела) ### 5/5 — SO GOOD! *2023-08-03* I really like how you have to get a type of score to get more characters and powers And of course dungeons progress The game, also why is the main menu song feel sad?! ### 5/5 — Very fun addicting game *2023-07-14, version 1.0.42* The worst part is I found an exploit for infinite gold and I'm finished with all the levels ### 5/5 — 癖になる *2023-06-20, version 1.0.42* 覚えることが多い割に説明が足りない気はするが、それを全部理解したときにはもう病みつきになる 今のところステージ数5つしかないが、そこクリアしてキャラ、アビリティ全開放するまでがチュートリアルだと思ったらいいかも とりあえず現状キャラは猫一択、アビリティはタイルロック解除、敵一撃が強すぎるので進めない人はこれを強化しまくるのがいいかも --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
