### 5/5 — bug

*2026-08-04*

ステージ142のミッション「歩を倒してクリア」が達成できません。
敵駒は銀2枚しか配置されておらず、歩が存在しないため条件を満たせません。
ご確認をお願いいたします。

### 1/5 — 消えた

*2026-07-29*

せっかく頑張ってストーリー4まで進めたのに、データ消えてまた最初に戻ってしまいました。
悲しすぎます。

### 5/5 — Naruto/Boruto

*2026-03-07, version 1.3.1*

I learned about this game from an anime and I love it!

### 5/5 — いや楽しいけども。

*2026-02-14*

0212追記:アップデート頂き解決済。

1月末のアップデート後、イベントステージに遷移しなく(ずっとNow Loading)なったのは私だけだろうか？他の端末でも同じ症状なのだけど、サポートに2回ほど問い合わせたが改善も対応も見られない。残念。
あ、ついでに。
この手のゲームでほぼランダム要素(火山弾とか)は邪魔だと考えます。それなら、ランダム有りの面は｢〇ターン以内｣の条件は無くすべき。ランダムに邪魔されないパターン引くまでリトライ連打するゲームはお互い望まないはず。

### 1/5 — Events stuck on loading

*2026-02-08, version 1.3.0*

Anytime I click events it gets stuck on loading screen

### 3/5 — イベントが…

*2026-02-08*

アップデート後、イベントボタンをタップするとローディングが終わらず操作できなくなります。修正を希望！

### 1/5 — Love this game, but support never responds!

*2026-02-04, version 1.3.0*

Such a bummer.

### 5/5 — アップデート以降

*2026-01-29*

1.3.0アプデ以降イベントができなくなってしまいました

### 5/5 — これは面白い！！

*2025-11-01*

動画を見て「面白そう」と思い、apple oneに登録しました 
結果、大正解！
まさにカジュアルゲームのお手本、将棋のルールを知らない人でもゲーム内の説明やヒントがとても親切ですんなり入り込める！
最初はサクサク進むけど、ステージが進むにつれて難易度が上がっていき、「どうすれば⭐︎3取れるかな」と何度も試行錯誤、気付けば時間がどんどん過ぎてゆきますw
是非たくさんの人にプレイしてほしい名作です！！

### 5/5 — 要修正

*2025-10-24*

先日のアプデ以降、イベントでクリア後に次ステージに進むボタンが反応しないことがある。
ゲーム自体は最高
