### 3/5 — Good but it could be better

*2026-08-19, version 2.20.1*

Even if I may say this is a good game it has too many adds I feel like they should ether make this an add free game or just use adds when you need a tool like when you need a hint so I would give this game a two one star for bieng good and only one star more because there is too many adds but I will give it an extra star because I believe that this game can be better lets fight for a better game🤺!

### 2/5 — Too many ads

*2026-06-30, version 2.20.1*

Not my idea of fun spending more time watching ads than playing a game.

### 4/5 — Brain dots

*2026-06-27, version 2.20.1*

It is a really fun game that helps you learn to solve and make things but it is annoying how many advertisments there are that stop the flow of the game.

### 2/5 — 広告多め、難易度低め。

*2026-05-17*

他のレビューにもあるように広告は多めです。
それでも、ゲームの内容に期待してインストールしたのですが、幼児が遊ぶような低難易度のもので、すぐにアンインストールしました。
ゲーム内容に惹かれてインストールしようとしている方は、インストールしないほうがいいと思います。

### 2/5 — Ads

*2026-05-17, version 2.20.1*

I used to play this game many years ago and got quite far on it. Reason? Not that many ads. I picked it up again hoping to carry on. Result? Can’t bloody stand it. An ad every other attempt?

Pretty sure no one reads these. No one in their ivory tower cares. But just bin off the incessant disruption and intensity of ads to make the game a little more enjoyable.

### 1/5 — Needs optimizing

*2026-03-12, version 2.20.1*

It doesn't work with Pencil pro on iPad

### 1/5 — 廣告太多了

*2026-03-07, version 2.20.1*

竟然可以每次都為我吃廣告 你們是乞丐嗎

### 1/5 — днище

*2026-02-06*

### 1/5 — Que aburrido que tenga tanta publicidad

*2026-01-31, version 2.20.1*

Cada 3 niveles un anuncio, no lo descarguen

### 1/5 — There is ad for every 30 seconds of gameplay?!

*2026-01-13, version 2.20.1*

Really really bad exp with ad. Dev is greedy.

### 1/5 — It was a good game! sold out for adds!

*2026-01-12, version 2.20.1*

this was once a great game. I played endlessly. but now as I was playing, there are adds at every step. I understand apps need money! but what nonsense is this! too many of them. deleted the app! giving one star !

### 1/5 — Excesiva publicidad

*2025-12-26, version 2.20.1*

INSOPORTABLE la cantidad de publicidad. Entiendo la necesidad pero se abusan

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2025-12-24, version 2.20.1*

2 ads pop up within 30 seconds of game play

### 3/5 — ゲーム自体は…

ゲーム自体は面白いと思うけれど、広告が多く､もう少しステージをクリアしやすくしてほしいです。🔵🔴

### 3/5 — ADs não somem

O jogo é ótimo, porém comprei o pacote para NÃO aparecer ADs na tela e eles continuam aparecendo.

### 2/5 — TOO MANY ADS!

*2025-11-22, version 2.20.1*

Awful experience when I am forced to watch an ad after almost every level.

### 1/5 — So many ads

*2026-08-21, version 2.20.1*

Was a fun game. Now its unplayable.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2026-07-26, version 2.20.1*

This game used to be so awesome. It really is fun and such a great idea, but too many ads have ruined it. It’s a lengthy ad every 2-3 turns. You feel like you can’t do anything or get anywhere without having to wait a really long time for yet another ad. The ads are longer than the game play you get before you have to wait for ANOTHER AD. I’m not anti ads, I appreciate them making some really fun games free, but calling this overboard is minimizing. What’s more overboard than overboard? Brain Dots’s love for ads.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-07-02, version 2.20.1*

I used to enjoy the game as a kid , its all ads now

### 1/5 — 600円払ったのに

*2026-06-08*

有料にしても、アイテムをゲットするために広告を見なきゃいけなくて、すごく損した気分。

### 1/5 — Anuncios

*2026-05-26, version 2.20.1*

Muchos anuncios, todos los juegos así son pésimos

### 1/5 — Advertising wasteland

*2026-05-15, version 2.20.1*

You don't event get through the tutorial before the ads start. And it's all downhill from there. I'm telling ya. Forget this game!

### 1/5 — 広告うざすぎ、

*2026-05-03*

広告の頻度減らしてくれ頼むから広告無くしたら神ゲー

### 1/5 — ADS GALOR!!!

*2026-05-02, version 2.20.1*

THERES AN AD EVERY TWO LEVELS, GETS VERY ANNOYING

### 1/5 — Ads even after you pay for no ads

*2026-04-03, version 2.20.1*

Sure, you may not get ads for OTHER companies, but you absolutely have pop up ads for the game still…ridiculous they think their own ads don’t count

### 1/5 — No Menus on iPad OS 18+

*2026-03-17, version 2.20.1*

This game does not work properly on iPads running iPad OS 18+.
Once you begin a level all navigation menus disappear. No “Back” button and no “Reset” button. There is no way to return to the main menu. You must quit and restart the app every time you need to reset the level or do anything.

They have also returned banner ads, even for people who have paid to remove ads.

This was once a great game but developer neglect and poor support have made it unplayable on iPads. 
What a shame. 
(The menus still work properly on iPhones running the same iOS version).
