Fun

It’s a fun game. Although sometimes the connections don’t make sense.
Also please please please stop making the two hint buttons jump up and down. It’s really distracting and annoying. I know where they are if I need them!!!

Response from developer

Hello, thank you very much for your estimation and detailed review, we appreciate that very much. Could you please share the examples of these connections you find wrong or strange with us via app's Settings–Support? Our content team will make sure to review them. Yous comment concerning "jumping" hints will also be taken into attention and forwarded to our team in charge of the project. Wishing you all the best, Support Team.

Fair

The 5 diamonds is way too low, it’s an ok game when bored.

Good game but

This is a good game and suits my brain perfectly. But the incessant adverts after each level and an extortionate price (£4.99 WEEKLY - most apps do that for life!) means that I’m deleting the app!

Response from developer

Hello, we understand your concern, especially when ads appear after each level. Your feedback about both ad frequency and pricing is important, and we’ll share it with the team as we continue working to improve the balance between supporting development and keeping the game enjoyable. We’re also planning to develop additional payment options in the future, so players have more flexibility beyond the current subscription model. Yours sincerely, Support Team.

The Ads Ruin the Game

I get it…developers need funding. But an ad after EVERY SINGLE ROUND is crazy, and charging $5 a week to go ad free is absolutely ridiculous. Other games of higher quality are $7 to be ad free forever. It’s a fun game, but not worth the frustration or cost.

Ad removal subscription

Having ad removal as a subscription is diabolical. Immediately deleted the app.

Occasional frustration

Needs better fact-checking to eliminate possibility of multiple correct answers.

Good concept - decent execution

This is a fun game with an interesting twist on other word association games. Some levels are pretty easy but most are a good challenge. I would rate it 5 stars but I noticed a few levels where it seemed one word would be a much better fit for the “link” cell than what the solution suggested. Also randomly this game will open a pop-up window in my internet browser usually to a page claiming my phone’s been hacked, which makes me feel like the game is not secure, so I deleted it

Response from developer

Hello, thank you very much for your detailed review and shared concerns. We sincerely apologize for all the inconveniences caused. Could you please report these levels with better "link" cell options to us? So that our content team could review them and correct if necessary. Please also send the screenshots of these "hacking" ads you mention. Unfortunately, we are not in full control of the ads, since they are managed by various independent from us platforms. But we'll try our best to find the disturbing ones and prevent them from showing. And here we definitely need your help. Please reach out to us from the game directly (Settings–Contact us). Thanks for your help in advance! Looking forward to your message, Support Team.

Sacrificed gameplay integrity for a cheap cash grab

As other reviewers have already pointed out, the “free” version is ad supported, and there is an ad after every single puzzle following a certain level. Your tolerance for that will vary. However what is the most egregious sin is that the puzzles become engineered in such a way as to REQUIRE the use of multiple hints which after using them up require in-game currency, purchased with actual money, to purchase more. Hints can be earned without spending actual money, but they are earned at too slow a rate to bypass the “problem puzzles”, which will need many to be used just to continue. Other reviewers have rightly complained about the similarity and overlap between topics making separating and arranging them impossible, but a more common and insidious tactic is to randomly assign unrelated words to the topics so that the puzzle can only be “solved” via brute force or buying hints. The “solutions” to these puzzles are not just deliberately obtuse or use obscure definitions to justify their connection, they are completely irrelevant to each other. The “solution” can be seen after using a hint, and once you catch on to the underhanded methodology it is infuriating. I started this review thinking I would rate it 2 stars, but recounting this justifiably angers me to realizing it really deserves a 1 for this nonsense. The closer you get to puzzles in the 80s the more common it gets. The Topics might be Safari and Nobility. The “shared” word? Not binoculars or anything that might make sense… it’s Elephants. What? That’s only a single example of this nonsense, it gets worse. Seeing the “solution” after hints have placed the words is maddening: especially when you realize that it’s not just that often there are better fits for the groupings, but that the “acceptable” ones are categorically and empirically wrong.

connections get absurd fairly quickly

At first the game was my new obsessions. Loved it enough to start paying for things, but then about 200 levels in, the connections starting getting a bit absurd, with some “correct” connections being a significant stretch compared to other possible connections, and some categories in the same puzzle being so similar, it was anyone’s guess which category a word was supposed to be connected with. And some didn’t make any sense. e.g. community goes with software?? huh?! i.e. it went from a fun challenging game to an exercise in futility.

Hello. Thank you for your detailed feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to share this. We’re sorry that later levels felt frustrating and unclear. We understand how important it is for connections to feel logical and fair. Your examples are very helpful, and we’ll share this with the team to review puzzle quality and balance. Thanks again, Support Team.

Ads. Seriously?

This game is fun but you want $7.99 a WEEK to get rid of ads, no thanks. I see me not continuing to play this game because of the excessive amount of ads.

Great game but too many ads!

I love the game but the ads after every single completed level made me erase the game completely.

Fun but costly

Like others I like the game and would buy an ad free version but the pricing is way too high.

New update!

Fun challenging game especially now that the completed puzzle doesn’t disappear and allows time to see the clever connections. Thank you

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your estimation and detailed review. 😊 We are truly happy to see that you can fully enjoy playing our game now. 🥳 Please have fun! Best wishes, Support Team.

Too Many Ads

I like this game. Puts a fresh spin on word games and is a good difficulty level. My issue is the ads. After 30 levels or so, when you’re lulled into a false sense of peace, there is an ad after every single level. Ugh.

I would pay to remove ads, but you can only pay to remove an ad for a week. That’s right, they want $5/week to go ad free! There is no lifetime option. I’m sorry, but no. Good game, but not worth $260 per year.

We’re truly sorry that the ad-free option affects your experience negatively. We appreciate your feedback regarding the payment period. It'll be passed along to the team for further consideration. Currently we plan to add various payment options, so your opinion is greatly appreciated. We'll keep working on improving the ads' aspect as well. Wishing you all the best, Support Team.

Fun but strange vocabulary

The Middle Ages include dragons but not Popes or Cardinals? And other odd choices.

Non-English Native Developers or just Scummy?

The clues provided are often so general as to apply to multiple categories with the association of a word to one category being as strong or tenuous as an association with another category. This leads to needing to try a wide variety of combinations to figure out which loose collection of associations is the one the dev’s intend. I can’t tell whether this is due to the devs being bad at crafting associations or doing so intentionally to drive people to spend money for hints. Given the state of app game market, I suspect the latter. But as they say, never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. That said, you can pay for no ads— for 7 days. Then you have to pay again and again for every 7 days for continued absence of ads, so maybe just scum

Just because

When games keep interrupting gameplay to force a review I will give the lowest review possible due to the harassment for a review.

Horrible

Great idea but it doesn’t work. It froze on level 6. It also doesn’t color the flower unless you use a boost. Lame.

After it froze the screen started flashing like a strobe light. It hurt my eyes and could be very bad if someone was sensitive to that.

Do not recommend. If developers reply to me I will not respond.

Fun but one suggestion

This game is the perfect blend of challenging and fun. Not so easy you breeze through, but not so hard, you give up. I just wish it didn’t disappear so fast on the last correct move. I want time to review the answers!

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your estimation and shared sincere impressions. 🥰 We are truly happy to see that you have fun playing our game. Please note that in the newest update (which will be released very soon) you will be able to review the answers for as long as you wish! 😉 Only by tapping the button to the next level you will proceed with the game.

учите английский

перведено приложение криво, добавьте выбор языка! что за бал и балл в категориях богачи и маскарад в 81 уровне? в английской версии таких слов даже близко нет!

Response from developer

Добрый день, спасибо вам за мнение об игре. Выбор языка уже давно доступен в Настройках игры (есть английский, русский и испанский языки). Упомянутый вами 81 уровень будет обязательно проверен и при необходимости исправлен. И не могли бы вы уточнить, что именно переведено "криво"? Наша команда контент-менеджеров создаёт все уровни самостоятельно, как такового перевода не производится, уровни на разных языках создаются отдельно. И друг от друга не зависят. В ожидании вашего сообщения, Команда Поддержки.
