### 1/5 — Feels like a scam

*2025-02-25, version 1.1.7*

I’m like 30 seconds into this game which is the easiest in the world and it’s already playing a long ad.  This was also immediately following a screen telling me to allow the app to track me. lol, bye

### 1/5 — WAYY TO MANY ADS

*2024-11-22, version 1.1.7*

There are ads when you open the app. There are ads every 3 levels which takes seconds to complete. Each ad is substantial and makes you close out of it roughly 3 times. Do yourself a favor and stay away from

### 3/5 — Fun game but makes phone super hot

*2024-10-12, version 1.1.7*

The game is very fun, but I’ve only been playing for about 15 minutes and my phone started getting really hot.

### 5/5 — The best game ever

*2024-07-11, version 1.1.7*

I got this game from my Tía nay but 200k/10 out

### 2/5 — Too many adverts

*2024-04-26, version 1.1.7*

Levels take seconds to complete and then you have a 30 second advert after each level

### 1/5 — They spam ads

*2024-03-14, version 1.1.7*

You have to watch ads more than you get to play.

### 3/5 — Bugs, Ad Overload

*2024-01-10*

Fun and mindless, but it’s not really free. The levels take seconds to beat, then you must sit through ads that are minutes long and sometimes require interaction to clear. To play you pretty much have to pay to remove ads. 

The levels are not challenging, which isn’t all bad. Only a few out of 450 levels required multiple solved. Some of the bonus modes are more fun than the pin pull. 

There are bugs in the IQ mode. You are prompted to do things like shake the phone to have a worm appear out of an apple, but it doesn’t actually work. That is annoying.

### 5/5 — The answer to years of frustration

*2023-12-24, version 1.1.6*

This is actually the game that I’ve been advertised for YEARS

### 1/5 — Terrible ads

*2023-08-03, version 1.1.6*

So many ads I spend almost no time playing the game

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2023-07-04, version 1.1.6*

30 seconds of ads for every 10 seconds of game play.  Spoof ads as soon as you start the game.
