Ridículo!! Jogo gostoso, mass meio complicado. Piorou demais! ### 3/5 — Перевернутая *2024-10-25* Хорошая игра, но при запуске на айпаде, игра запускается задом на перед, приходится переворачивать планшет, исправьте пожалуйста. ### 3/5 — Anything over Level 120 Impossible *2024-10-24* I love this app and have purchased hearts in order to get past certain levels. Once I get to about Level 120 or so, it’s impossible to get past it so I just end up not playing it and won’t spend anymore money on it if I can’t progress. ### 3/5 — Was ok until an update was needed *2023-12-29, version 1.22* I opened the game on my iPad and was asked to agree and accept an update to the game, and since then it opens upside down. I deleted it and re-installed it, but it still opens upside down. What can I do? ### 3/5 — Adverts Audio not muted *2023-08-02, version 1.21* Although I have spent hours playing this game, there are times when I need to set it to silent - the game itself is then muted, but unfortunately the adverts still have sound. All other games I play silence the adverts when the game’s audio setting is set to silent. ### 5/5 — Lily *2023-03-23* Like ### 5/5 — Lily *2023-03-19* Like ### 5/5 — Lily *2023-03-04* Like ### 3/5 — Tiles *2023-02-06, version 1.21* Change the tiles. I have seen different tiles previously. Please ### 2/5 — Better on an iPad, *2023-01-27* Virtually impossible to play on iPhone. I really hate the ads which won't end until I quit the app and do a hard Shutdown. I'd play more but Goethe ads. ### 4/5 — Change the theme *2023-01-25* I love this game but I’m tired so the Halloween theme. It’s January already! ### 5/5 — Game *2023-01-18* Music should be allowed to be changed…otherwise all good ### 5/5 — Thật vui khi được chơi trò chơi tôi yêu thích ❤️ *2022-12-15, version 1.21* Nhà sản xuất bạn có thể làm trò chơi nhẹ hơn bằng cách tối ưu hoá cho trò chơi của bạn không quá nặng về dung lượng, tôi khuyến khích bạn sáng tạo trò chơi nhiều hơn, cập nhật sự kiện như tết, trung thu, noel, halloween, black friday ... Tôi rất muốn trò chơi chạy mượt, và không tốn pin hoặc không làm điện thoại bị nóng khi trò chơi hoạt động. Rất mong nhà sản xuất đọc và thực hiện trong tương lai ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏 ### 4/5 — Old theme *2022-11-12* Can you please let go of the Halloween theme already? How about using Autumn? Leaves rustling, wing howling, rain, etc Other than that it’s great and I enjoy playing. ### 3/5 — Love this game but hate holiday versions *2022-11-05, version 1.21* Can you give us a Choice if we want holiday version, and please put it back the day Holiday over!! Rapunsil ### 5/5 — Fun game! *2022-10-22* Fun game! Wish they did more seasonal themes that update the little characters but absolutely love this game! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 광고보면 팅겨서 0점됨 *2024-12-10* 광고보다가 튕기면 자꾸 점수 리셋되는데요? ### 1/5 — 실수로 결제 *2024-10-03* 앱 실행하자마자 결제되었는데 환불해주세요 ### 1/5 — TOO MUCH ADS *2024-09-26, version 1.23* If you an ad-lever, this game is for you because you will watch the ad every 3 minutes. Open the game, you have to watch an ad. Every level pass, you have to watch an ad. Pause the game for too long, to continue, you have to watch an ad. On level 139, game gets ridiculous which is impossible to level up (and yes, it is ridiculously difficult so you have to buy their package) Not really a pay to win game, but still kinda stupid. Wish I could give 0 star. ### 1/5 — Animal link *2024-01-05, version 1.22* Still loading upside down please fix ### 1/5 — Can we get a new update *2022-04-19, version 1.20* Are we ever going to get a new update? I’m getting a little tired of New Year’s Eve. ### 1/5 — Animal Link *2022-01-29* Три раза проходили до 131 уровня. Каждый раз сбрасывает на начало! Дальше скорость увеличивается нереально. Я разочарован, ставлю одну звезду. Игра гамно! ### 1/5 — Meh *2021-08-25, version 1.16* Played 15 levels. No progression saved. Delete ### 1/5 — Hard levels and decreased limited time *2021-06-19* This game is great until I get to higher levels and believe no one can get past 150 or 160. The higher the score it gets to impossible levels with 40 seconds to recover…really! I will be deleting and no more spending money on this game when it is impossible to win! ### 1/5 — Don’t spend a nickel !!!!! *2021-06-02, version 1.13* I love this game but as soon as I bought some hearts the game got way harder and the timer got faster. IT IS SUCH A RIP-OFF. Don’t spend a penny on this game. ### 1/5 — Complaint *2021-03-04, version 1.10* I have twice now got a score of over 200,000 and have purchased additional hearts but when I get to about 204,500+ the game freezes and I don’t get to use the hearts to rescue my score. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — puzzle game *2024-12-12, version 1.24* A fun game to relax with. ### 5/5 — Makes you think *2023-09-23* I’ve been playing this game for about a year now and can’t fault it. It does get more challenging as you go up in levels but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, makes you use your brain. ### 5/5 — Mind blowing *2023-08-05* Love this game keeps my mind very active which is a good thing!! ### 5/5 — Lily *2023-04-24* Like ### 5/5 — Lily *2023-04-24* Like ### 5/5 — Lily *2023-04-24* Like ### 5/5 — Lily *2023-04-24* Like ### 5/5 — Lily *2023-04-24* Like ### 5/5 — Lily *2023-04-24* Like ### 5/5 — Lily *2023-04-24* Like --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
