User reviews

Ads are impossible to close

Don’t mind the ads BUT this is the only app where the close button on the ads is so tiny it takes 500 tries to close the damn ad

Ads

The ads should not be allowed to open safari and shopping apps!

Ads ads ads

Ads every 2 seconds and they last for over a minute. Unplayable.

Not too hard, but you need to think.

An enjoyable game, that gets your brain working. It initially had few ads, but now has more than enough. I enjoy the game, and the amount of ads is more than enough, but not as bad as some other games.

Cool game

Cool game!
