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. ### 2/5 — Blank screen at level 16 *2022-12-24, version 2.0* Was interesting prior to that ### 4/5 — Fun, kept my interest, but… *2022-12-14, version 2.0* I get an ad after every level, which in itself isn’t an issue. I’m fine with that. But the ads break the game and I need to refresh after. ### 3/5 — eh *2022-11-26, version 2.0* it’s fun but there’s always an ad after the first level you play when opening the app and then the app glitches after the ad plays so you have to quit and restart the app in order to play the next level. ### 2/5 — Ads mess up the game *2022-10-28* I like the concept of the game, and I usually love word games, but I can only get through a level or two before an ad pops up. Which would normally be fine, except every time I finally exit out of the app, the app just stops loading and all that is visible is the background. I’m not going to repeatedly close and open the app just to play it ### 2/5 — Okay *2020-08-26, version 2.0* Mildly entertaining for a while once you figure out the poor and confusing tutorial. However the game now crashes every time I get an ad which is after EVERY SINGLE LEVEL!! Average concept poorly made ### 4/5 — FIX SCREEN PLACEMENT FOR XR *2020-08-22* I reinstalled this game to realize that it is now free and has ads... I thought it was fine until I realized that the developers must not care about their fans who paid money to download the game because I hit restore purchases thinking it would remove ads for being a previous owner before it became free but no now I have ads to deal with. Still a very creative game that used to be super fun... without ads that is ### 3/5 — Don’t Undertand the Mechanics of the Game *2020-06-06, version 2.0* I love word games/puzzles, and this one is unique. But I just can’t figure out the mechanics - the tutorial doesn’t explain it well. Like, I know the answers to the puzzles but I don’t get which letter/s should I tap to make the correct answer. Very confusing! 😖 ### 4/5 — This one is pretty tricky! *2020-05-24, version 2.0* I like this one because it’s a bit tougher than most games like this and there are no ads. Let me say that again: GOOD & NO ADS ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Good game that crashes every level *2022-11-29, version 2.0* The game is great I just wish it didn’t crash and need to be closed and reopened literally every single level after the ad ### 1/5 — Ad Issues *2022-11-07* The app itself seemed fun and interesting at first up until the ads set in. Every time I play a level it's another ad, and that alone wouldn't be too horrible if it weren't for the fact that every time I finish watching the app itself completely stops working and I have to exit out of the app to fix it. Then, when I get back into the app it's another ad. That's a strikeout for me and I'm heavily disappointed in how the game it turned out. ### 1/5 — Broke *2022-10-24, version 2.0* The game won’t work after an ad plays so you have to close it and re open it and then it shows you an ad right away and then the game won’t work after the ad so you have to close it and open it but then an ad plays and it won’t work. ### 1/5 — Takes clipboard *2022-09-16, version 2.0* Whenever you open the app it pastes from your clipboard ### 1/5 — i f-ing hate this game *2022-09-13, version 2.0* the amount of stress this stupid game caused me. i don’t like to release anger out onto the internet but the way this game ripped everything inside me to shreds, made me cry. if you get angry easily don’t play this game. i only got on like level 6 and i wanted to throw my phone across the room. ### 1/5 — Honestly terrible *2021-01-13, version 2.0* The worst and most stupid game I’ve played in the App Store. Would rate negative stars if I could. ### 1/5 — Not Intuitive *2020-06-12* The game mechanics are neither intuitive nor user friendly. I spent a ridiculous amount of time on the first puzzle trying to work out what I was supposed to tap on. Random tapping eventually solved the puzzle, but it shouldn’t be this difficult to work out the game controls. I didn’t bother with the second puzzle. ### 1/5 — Freezes after every ad *2020-05-05, version 2.0* Barely got to try the game because every time I skipped an ad, it returned to the two tone game screen and did.... nothing. Just a blank game screen with no game. ### 1/5 — Terrible gameplay *2020-01-30, version 2.0* The word puzzle portion is generally clever if standard but the pathway to do so follows no particular logic and simply results in guessing. Ultimately it is just meaningless gameplay. ### 1/5 — Not what it appears to be *2019-11-10* This game at first appears to be one where you tap the box of the letter which doesn’t belong to achieve the antonyms. However this is not at all what the game really is. It’s all about knowing which box to touch and when with no way of figuring that out. It is incredibly unintuitive and incredibly frustrating. When you tap on a certain box, it doesn’t change the box you tapped, but rather multiple boxes which weren’t touched. An incredible disappointment! Do NOT recommend!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Really good app *2022-07-11, version 2.0* Love the game play, nice for some quiet relaxation and no ads. Enjoy the way it was made and some tricky ones we chucked in there . Love it ### 5/5 — Takes a minute but then… *2022-06-27* Okay, so it took me a minute to figure out how the game works, and another minute to figure out how to actually win a level. Once there, though, this game ROCKS. You get the crossword portion with the clue for the words, and then the puzzle bit. So fun, it’s tricky and addictive! ### 5/5 — Highly recommended *2021-07-31, version 2.0* Simple concept but really makes you think! Nicely presented and a great little word game. ### 5/5 — Clever and well-priced *2020-09-19* A fun, original puzzle, and you can remove ads for a fair price. If only there were more games like Antitype. ### 5/5 — great game *2020-07-22, version 2.0* the puzzles are satisfyingly challenging, the design is beautiful and the game is a great way to spend some time challenging your brain. love it! ### 5/5 — Wow relaxing *2019-11-08, version 2.0* I’m pretty sure the first level lowered my blood pressure a bit. Install it. ### 5/5 — Different *2019-07-05, version 2.0* A little harder than the average word games on here, builds a bit of mathematical logic in too. ### 5/5 — Different *2019-02-04* This game is completely different from any other word game I have seen. I usually have no trouble with word games, and have been surprised at finding it challenging to wrap my brain around the unfamiliar procedures in this one! I am finally beginning to see success. Give it a try and see what you think. ### 5/5 — Great game - very worth the $2 to remove ads *2018-12-28* Beautiful design and great game mechanics. While it’s true that the game is worth it to pay for ad-removal, I wonder if there’s a way to encourage upgrading without the obnoxious ads? I think a game this good deserves a more refined way to make money. Maybe lock out the user from playing more than a certain number of rounds per day until they pay for unlimited access? **Developer response:** Thank you for the comments and feedback! Appreciate that much!! In the latest update you can visit the level selection menu, then tap on the “More Level Packs” button to reveal new level packs... Synonyms, Homophones and more! Any level pack that you purchase will also remove ads 😉 I’m working today on an update that will make that level pack menu even more accessible, and adds bundles for the level pack groups.
