Stuck at intro

So I was really excited to play this game I bet it’s really nice except every time I get in the game I’m just stuck at the intro with music and I can’t do anything :(

Cheaters.

Why play the game if all you do is move one seed each game and its the only move you do . Every second game i do on any challenge has been players doing just that. I recommend adding a way to report those types of players. Its super annoying when you can actually play the game and use your brain to keep the game going you dont have to win right off the bat . But only moving one singular seed every single move or game is considered cheating if you were to play this in real life. ABSOLUTELY INSANE especially knowing half of you are adults. Full grown adults playing just to cheat their way out of the game . Btw when they do this its impossible to beat them bc they do it on purpose.

Bot cheating

This game is rigged to end quickly so I can watch more ad time vs game time. The probability is not adding up.

Pretty Good but a few flaws

Beginner mode is easy, but there is some weird thing going on with easy mode. It is VERY hard! I can barely win 20% of games. The AI plays very capably! Yet, when I go to medium mode, I’ve won the vast majority of my games. I’ve only played one hard game and won that. But again, EASY mode is impossible. Weird.

Oh, and too many long ads. I always quit after one game and shut down the app. That way, I don’t face any ads.
