### 4/5 — Great Game. One Flaw

*2026-02-15*

I love the game. But game won’t give me option to pay to remove ads. Once that’s fixed it’ll get 5 stars

### 5/5 — Fun and cosy solitaire

*2025-03-03, version 2.4.1*

After basically finishing the entire game I couldn’t not come here to share a positive review. It’s a really well done, low stress card game, easy to learn and solitaire-esque but still with its unique elements. The art is cute, the gameplay is chill and it’s a nice game to relax with. Thanks for a great game!

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2025-01-28*

Glitched and froze, when it came back all my work was gone. Reset to beginning

### 5/5 — One of my favorites

*2024-11-27*

Awesome even if you don’t 100% it. The campaign is amazing. It has to be near - if not at - the top of card game campaigns for me. The puzzles and draft modes are okay. Very challenging. So much so that I gave up after failing miserably for a long time at one of the last draft mode challenges. Maybe I’ll come back to it someday.

### 1/5 — Short easy campaign, the rest is wasted time

*2024-08-01*

The campaign is okay but very easy and short. The other modes aren’t well thought out. The draft mode is awful. Not sure why it has existed so long in this broken and poorly balance state with no attention by the dev. Seems like they didn’t even test most of it. Half way through you have to eliminate 30 cards with 6 energy.

Edit to answer developer’s question.

Why did I finish the campaign if the game was so bad?  I wrote that the campaign was “okay but short”.  

My original review had more stars. It was written shortly after release.  My only complaints were about the depressing music and the draft mode.  I revisited the game and saw the draft mode had not been fixed and my review wasn’t addressed so I revised it in October 2023 and dropped it to 1 star.  You still didn’t address that.  Instead you wrote an unprofessional response to my criticism.

**Developer response:** Why did you finish the campaign if the game is so bad?

### 1/5 — Random mode is pointless

*2024-06-26*

At least add a score or level counter to the random mode. Otherwise its just endless, pointless stuff

**Developer response:** It's only endless if you can't beat it. Too bad.

### 2/5 — Another solitaire game…

*2024-06-17*

Another solitaire game where you’ll quickly encounter levels that have 1, maybe 2 solutions. Turns are limited each level. Game progression is also linear. Plan on getting stuck and retrying over and over. Dull.

### 3/5 — Great game but save game not syncing

*2024-05-30, version 2.4.1*

It’s a really great game but the save game is not syncing properly between iPhone and Mac. I tried to delete my iPhone app hoping to fix the sync after reinstalling but no I’ve lost all my progress on my iPhone.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-12-18, version 2.4.1*

Amazing mecanics. So much fun. Wish it was longer.

### 1/5 — Short easy campaign, the rest is wasted time

*2023-10-25*

The campaign is okay but very easy and short.  The other modes aren’t well thought out. The draft mode is awful.  Not sure why it has existed so long in this broken and poorly balance state with no attention by the dev.  Seems like they didn’t even test most of it.  Half way through you have to eliminate 30 cards with 6 energy.
