### 1/5 — AI Slop

*2026-08-07, version 3.0.2*

Loved this game for so long but then they added ai slop all over it and it really ruins the experience :(

### 1/5 — There are ads so don’t believe  the reviews

*2026-08-04, version 3.0.2*

Title says it all

### 3/5 — NO AI

*2026-07-06, version 3.0.2*

really disappointed by the new use of AI in this game. it ruins its authenticity. i miss the previous version.

### 5/5 — رسومات جميلة جداً

*2026-06-14, version 3.0.2*

اتمنى جزء جديد مه هذه الرسومات والافكار الرائعة

### 3/5 — Glitch

*2026-06-02, version 3.0.2*

Love this game but every time I get to level 36 the upper image doesn’t show up.  Can’t find difference is there’s nothing to compare.

### 4/5 — Wonderful game, small difficulty in using.

*2026-05-27, version 3.0.2*

My phone has a small otherwise completely unnoticeable crack in the screen cover, I’ve never noticed it before this game but I cannot get used to it and keep picking it as a difference. I’m not sure how many points this loses me but it is annoying again and again.

### 4/5 — Relaxing Game

*2026-04-19, version 3.0.2*

I’m enjoying this game very much. It’s a great way to wind down from the day between the easy on the eye graphics and calming music. I enjoy the little tales before each round as well. Unfortunately the game crashes often-specifically level 36. Any time I try to go into that round it completely closes the game. I’ve moved on and up to level 43, but after each round, it still tries to have me complete level 36. Hoping it’s an easy bug fix!

### 1/5 — Terrible selfish update

*2026-04-02, version 3.0.2*

All my previous levels are now inaccessible unless I pay $8 to unlock them. Filled with terrible AI generated ads

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2026-03-25, version 3.0.2*

At a base level the game is alright. The user interface is quite slow and the tutorial is a bit annoying, I don’t think you should force the player to use a hint if they do not want to.

The biggest disappointment is the use of visual ai, it’s obvious and frankly tacky. The idea of the intro’s to the levels art fine but the execution is bad.

I personally don’t really like them and I would much rather skip them, I am not interested so a skip option would be wonderful.

### 1/5 — Ai art

*2026-03-21, version 3.0.2*

Not as good a it looks
