### 1/5 — Stupid

*2026-03-18, version 2.101*

Hate the ads

### 5/5 — My favorite game

*2026-01-11, version 2.101*

This has been my stress reliever for many years. I like knowing what I need to do to accomplish the goals. I especially loved working towards the ornaments on the tree. I guess I’m done though because I’ve got three stars on every level and my tree is full and I can’t make anymore ornaments. I wish I could start all over! I love this game!

### 1/5 — Not worth the hassle

*2026-01-02, version 2.101*

I don’t mind some ads, but if I’m spending as much time trying to find the nonexistent X, to close the ad (instead of it forcing me to open my App Store app) and return to the game — well, it just isn’t worth it.
     I actually spent more time playing the advertised game than I did the actual game.  
     Sorry to have to delete the app, the game is fun, but ultimately not worth the hassle of trying to play.

### 3/5 — Disappointing

*2025-12-26, version 2.101*

Thought it was going to be a fun relaxing game. It isn’t. Every two or three levels has an advert, most of which you have to hunt for the way to get out of. This isn’t relaxing, it’s more stress inducing bs. I will not suggest it to Anyone unless they have more patience than a deity.

### 4/5 — Christmas crush

*2025-12-18, version 2.101*

Good but the ads are annoying

### 1/5 — Level Failed AFTER watching the ad

*2025-12-10, version 2.101*

Your ads no longer have the little X to exit out once finished so that I can get back to my game, it’s happened three times where there’s no x and I have to just completely get out of the app, losing my game. Please fix.

### 2/5 — Ads

*2025-11-26, version 2.101*

I just want to play the game. I will NEVER get any of the games advertised. NEVER.

### 2/5 — Confused

*2025-11-20, version 2.101*

Not catching on to the rules nor purpose of tree

### 4/5 — Any more levels?

*2025-11-16, version 2.101*

I just spent $$ for some mittens and four way and now I notice I am on level 1,008. Are you adding levels soon?

### 1/5 — Too many ads.

*2025-11-01, version 2.101*

Ad after ad after ad…..
