Good game, but

So I have a little bit of an issue. I will play on an iPad love the game, but can you make it work be played in landscape mode. You have more real estate on the screen. And then I don’t have to hold a screen while playing with it when I play one-handed.

Ads

It’s a good game just really hard levels.
I got an ad for this game and I thought this game was just all those minigames, which sucks because the levels are so hard and I didn’t even know that the main part of the game was in it, the minigames are so fun and this time limit isn’t helping (sorry if this is rude though, I’m not trying to be).again, It’s a good game just really hard levels

False advertising

Nothing like the ad!! Its a word game.!!! You find letters in a sentence like wheel of fortune!

Mentirada

Propaganda mentirada

Not what you thought

Yet another misleading game that advertises one type of gameplay, but delivers a whole different experience. The game you saw in the advertisement is only a very small “mini-game” within the game. Don’t waste your time.

Nicht was beworben wurde

Also ich hatte gehofft die rätsel aus der Werbung lösen zu können, nur leider sind das hier Mini Games, die ich erst mit Lückentext Rätsel freischalten muss… Ich hab kein Bock auf Temu Glücksrad

Loved This Game, But Why Reset Our Progress?

I’ve absolutely loved this game for months! It became my main go-to game, and I played it regularly. I enjoyed it so much that even when the October 2026 daily puzzles weren’t released on time, I honestly didn’t care. I was perfectly happy continuing to play the older puzzles.

In fact, I liked the game so much that I decided to go all the way back to October 2025, the earliest month available, and work my way forward collecting all the stickers. I completed October, November, and December 2025 and was working on January 2026.

Then the October 2026 update came out. I was happy to see the daily puzzles return, but unfortunately, they removed everything before April 2026. All that progress I had made was suddenly gone.

At first, I thought, “Well, at least I earned the stickers.” But nope! Those were gone too. And now October has essentially been reset, so I’m just repeating what I already did in October 2025.

That’s what really disappoints me. I genuinely love this game, and I didn’t even mind the lack of new content because I had plenty of older puzzles to enjoy. But what’s the point of spending time completing past months and collecting stickers if an update is just going to erase all that progress?

I really hope the developers reconsider how they handle older puzzles and earned stickers. I want to keep enjoying this game, but it’s hard to feel motivated to collect anything when I don’t know if I’ll get to keep it.

Misleading. Too many ads. Not fun.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD! The ads for this game are VERy misleading.

Stolen Content

Adds I received for this game feature stolen content from an indie game called ‘Her Trees: Puzzle Dream’. Code Busters use the indie game’s levels as their mini games.

Falsely Advertised

The game advertised is just a mini game that is a very small part of the game. Typical bate and switch. Also the add system is poorly designed with no way to close them when the finish. Delete this one, unfortunately.

Mostly just Cryptograms

The ads showed a wide variety of challenging puzzles. Nah, just mostly cryptograms.

Fun n busy

This is an awesome way to have fun and keep yourself busy while you’re waiting on someone who not having as much fun as you are. Share your smile!

slowly losing its value

the sheer amount of ads is ridiculous, and it genuinely feels like the developers no longer care about their users. it’s already mid-october, and the update still hasn’t been released. more ads, less care, and no communication. extremely disappointing.

Fun!

Thank you for updating! I work this puzzle to relax and to keep my mind busy!

Issue with new month of daily challenge not coming up

Even thought it shows the “!” Indicating it should be available the new month - October- doesn’t come up so I can do the daily challenge.

Response from developer

Hi! Thanks for your feedback, and we're sorry for the confusion. Just to clarify, after purchasing the No Ads package, are the ads you're seeing the optional ones—like those for reviving after losing, earning extra coins, or multiplying your reward at the end of a level? These are rewarded ads, which are entirely optional and not removed by the No Ads package. The No Ads package only removes the interstitial ads that appear between levels without any rewards and banner ads. Please let us know so we can make sure everything is working properly for you! You can reach us at game-support@smartronic.com.tr We’d be happy to assist you further.

Childish

I don’t like the new look. I miss the stories. I dislike the cartoonish layout, drawings, and puzzles. Puzzles are not difficult. I don’t want another game with daily mini games and pop up’s about this campaign, that value bundle pack. I just want to play the game.

pessimo

nada a ver com o anuncio

Love the game but

Can we please remove all the ads from the daily section? Additionally, when I reached a year of playing the daily’s, I was unable to access them anymore. I had to delete the app and reload it, which reset my stats. I had a great streak with over 640 resolutions on my first try.

Bait and Switch game

This game bears no resemblance to the games advertised on Facebook, or the images it showed on the download page of the App Store. The app seems to work as it is designed, but the puzzles as advertised were entirely different in format and design. The bait and switch is not acceptable. The puzzles it fires have are simplistic, and the games really wants you to use hints (that I assume you can pay for once you run out, either with real cash or watching advertising) for puzzles far far easier than the ones advertised. Quite disappointing.
