### 3/5 — Excessive ads

*2023-07-12, version 2.0*

One time I got an ad just because I changed the sound settings. Good game but the ad frequency makes it unplayable.

### 3/5 — Good game but…

*2023-07-08*

I really like this game, but it has a couple bugs and a lot of ads. Every time I finish a level, it kicks me out of the game along with giving me a 30 second un-skippable ad. Very annoying. Good game otherwise!    

                                          (Sorry for weird font)

### 3/5 — Love but stops working after ads

*2023-04-18, version 2.0*

I really like this game, but everytime I get an ad the game stops working.

### 4/5 — Won’t always load

*2023-03-31*

Occasionally when opening the app, it doesn’t load and just shows the two colors, or after completing a puzzle. The game is great and keeps my attention, but I can’t get more than three puzzles done without it breaking.

### 3/5 — Fun but has bugs

*2023-02-18, version 2.0*

Ngl this is a fun game but after every game it has an add then stops working and I have have to reset the app

### 2/5 — Ads

*2023-01-30, version 2.0*

Whenever an ad pops up (often), it won’t go back to the game properly. Meaning I have to exit and restart again which is incredibly annoying

### 3/5 — Fun but annoying

*2023-01-30, version 2.0*

It’s a fun game to get your brain working, but I do have one problem. Every time an ad comes up, the game freezes. I have to exit the game and start all over again!

### 4/5 — Glitch

*2023-01-28, version 2.0*

Good game but having an issue after watching an ad, stuck at empty screen, each time I have to restart the app

### 3/5 — App Crashes After Ads

*2023-01-25*

This game seems super fun so far (albeit a bit difficult for me lol) and I’m really enjoying the puzzle aspect of it! However whenever an ad ends and I go back to playing, I just see the blue and green split screen. Nothing will load or happen and I have to close out of the app and reopen to continue playing :(( 

I’d really like to keep playing but it’s getting really annoying.

### 5/5 — Really great game and highly recommend it. But so much potential

*2022-12-28*

The game is simple and simplistic in its nature yet it is pretty engaging for something to quickly kill time. It saddens me that the developers didn’t really go far with this game and I’m sure the game would be pretty fun had the developers come out with new content. I would love to see more of the packs come out with extensions to others and entirely new packs, outside of that could be different languages to purchase and whatnot. Even new mechanics to enunciate the puzzle aspect like more than two words to figure out or diagonal tile switches would be insane. The minimalistic approach to the game is mesmerizing and soothing to play with. Overall I really enjoy the game. Price is a bit too much for the lack of levels, but personally I don’t mind.
