Remove the card levels

I usually enjoy this game with having completed over 1700 classic levels, but I am giving it one star for forcing the card levels into the classic levels. I don't do the events because I do not enjoy the card levels & they're every 2-3 classic ones now and I don't have a choice to skip them. Change that. Either lower the frequency, let us skip them, or remove them from being forced to continue classic levels

No way to turn off music or noises

Can’t turn off music or noises. Won’t play any such game. Fix this.

Quitting this game

I love these types of puzzles. What I do not like is the ones that have a timer that is very short. I refuse to have to watch as after as to try to get a puzzle done with the timer interrupting the puzzle every few seconds. Get rid of the timer!!! For now, I am deleting this game.

Ads

Too many ads to be an enjoying game anymore. They are getting longer and longer. I can’t even open a game without seeing an ad.

Also why do you ask if I’m interested or not, saying no doesn’t mean anything. It’s even worse when I already have what is being advertised.

I usually give it three times to open and then move on to a different game to play that has far fewer ads to battle

If it wasn’t for the ads I’d give this 5 stars

I think it’s time for something else.

Love this game

Not only fun, this game engages my brain!

Way too much

This app is good. Very challenging. With that being said, way way way too many ads. I know that the creators did this because they want you to PAY for the ad free. Well so sad to tell you but this one here isn’t going to fall for it. Deleting this asap!! Good bye ✌🏼

Too many ads

It’s fine to play, when you actually get to play. There’s no reason I should get an ad the moment I click play and before I even start playing the game.

Seniors Mind sharper

Ad heavy

The game itself is relaxing and enjoyable, but the ads are the heaviest I’ve seen in a game. New puzzle, watch an ad, taking too long, watch another ad, oh they added another gameplay mechanic, enjoy the ad that comes with it. It’s close to one ad every three minutes.

TO MANY ADS

I made through six levels before I deleted this game, at least 12

Ads control game

I have been playing this game for a long time. The ads have become more and more intrusive to the point you can’t get rid of them. When they take up all your time, you need to find another game. Today I did that and hope readers of this review do the same.

Много рекламы

Сама игра интересная, посидеть поковырять выражения. Я все понимаю, разработчики живут за счет рекламы, но запускать ее во время разгадывания, вставляешь букву и тебе на, перерыв пора сделать))) и не один раз такое на одной фразе может быть… Еще плохо, отвлекся минут на 5-10, телефон висит на уровне, вернулся, пару букв и снова реклама…. Еще было вообще при запуске уровня реклама, ладно после проигрыша или подсказку получить, в общем удаляю нафиг.

ADS ADS ADS

Could be a good game if there wasn’t an ad before the game, every three moves, at the end of the game, if you need a boost, if you blink. You get the idea. It’s also makes my phone heat up, and the game frequently freezes. Deleting now

Game Ruined Due to Cards

I loved this game until they forced a completely new one in the app. A flash card game that does not resemble the actual game. They applied it just in the stories, which made it so I no longer played those. Now it is every other puzzle in main play. They also made it so points don’t apply to them. Deleting the app because it’s no longer what was advertised . That game should have been a second app, not forced into this one. Disappointed player.

It was fun until………

I loved this game until “fog” mode was introduced. Very difficult to complete puzzles without using helps. Eventually those will run out!

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the game. We completely understand how the "fog" mode can add extra difficulty to puzzles, and your feedback is incredibly helpful as we look to improve the experience. If you have more details about the challenges you're facing, we'd love to hear them! Please feel free to reach out through in-game chat or at contact@joyteractive.com. We truly appreciate you being part of our community, and we’re here to help you enjoy the game even more!

Enough with the ‘special’ puzzles!

The puzzles titled ‘special’ are a bear! I happily spend money on this game but the special puzzles absolutely deplete the hints I purchase. Please give the option of forfeiting a game, or some way of bypassing certain ones!

Too many ads

I was enjoying the game play, and I accept ads between rounds; however, way too many ads as I’m trying to complete a round. The constant interruptions after just a few steps is unbearable.

Response from developer

We totally get how frustrating those frequent ads can be, especially when you're in the zone! 😩 While ads help us keep the game free and support ongoing development, we're actively working on reducing their frequency to enhance your experience. If you want a smoother ride, check out our one-time "No Ads" pack—it removes the forced ads but keeps the optional ones for bonuses.

Usually enjoy

Great game that I usually enjoy. Love playing the themed puzzles and the special collection puzzles. Always complete the daily puzzle. And I paid to subscribe to avoid many of the ads. Now I have encountered that I am being required to purchase the hints package for $2.99 in order to unlock the next puzzle to continue to play. I already have over 200 hints and really don’t feel the need to purchase. So disappointing

Problems

I was enjoying playing this game, until all of the sudden every other click was an ad, and every time I got off the ad the game ran slower and slower until it just froze. My phone also felt like it was getting warm. I closed out the game and restarted; the entire puzzle I was working on and almost had complete was gone. I deleted the game after that. At least let me finish my puzzle if I have to close out like that from your game malfunctioning. If I could’ve finished my puzzle, I would’ve at least kept the game.

Ad Break

Way too many ads. Ad before you start the levels, 2 Ad breaks during the puzzle, which are very interrupting, and an ad after the puzzle. Just dowload a better version of the game with less ads.
