### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-01-01*

I’m really enjoying the app so far, however after finishing Self I can’t get the Happiness level to open and none of the stages will launch. I even edited a photo of the QR code preview to see if that would launch something. Is opening this one part of the puzzle and I’m missing something or is this a bug? The actual level won’t open, when you click it toggles but just stays on the home screen.

**Developer response:** Hi, I’m glad you enjoyed the game so far. About your question, you cannot open the Happiness stage or you cannot pass it? 
If it opens it is not a bug; try scanning the QR code in the stage from other devices ;)
If it seems like a bug let me know, thank you.

### 5/5 — Not sure if it’s game feature or if it’s bug

*2020-11-10*

Following sentence may spoil the game

In stage one you should follow the white rabbit which I drag the whole page to the right 
After that nothing shown on my phone completely dark don’t know what to do I even check game making company IG page but nothing was there
So don’t know if this is bug that I’m reporting or it’s just some part of the game that I can’t solve

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your comment. So you found the white rabbit and in its page with a big white rabbit you swipe right and a dark page was shown and nothing happens? Was it insist every time or just once? I had checked It might be a tiny issue. 
Thank you for mentioning it.

### 5/5 — Pretty solid brain teasers

*2020-08-12*

These puzzles are pretty satisfying and challenging. There are only a few, but it takes a while to solve them all. Hints are offered in the game, but you must ration them. When you solve a puzzle, you get more hints. Still working on it!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your precise feedback. I hope you enjoyed the game. I continually collecting feedbacks and I will certainly consider them in future updates. Especially feedbacks about gameplay and game flow.
