### 5/5 — DECEPTION

*2026-07-02, version 2.3.1*

Dommage qu il soit en ANGLAIS 😡

### 3/5 — Super spannend!

*2026-05-18, version 2.3.1*

Das Spiel gefällt mir wirklich sehr, weil man ein Mord aufklären muss. Ich finde es auch echt toll wenn die äußeren Steine weg sind und der Bildschirm sich so übersichtlicher vergrößert. 
Doch es gibt auch einige Mängel am Spiel. Seit dem letzten Update muss die Sprache jedesmal erneut eingestellt werden! Zwei mal um alles korrekt anzuzeigen und das jedesmal wenn man das Spiel neu startet. 
Der nächste Punkt ist, dass der Kauf von zb Münzen nicht registriert wird und so zb das Spiel abbrechen muss weil kein Guthaben vorhanden ist. 
Und der letzte Punkt ist dass manchmal beim vergrößern des Spiels die oberen Steine kaum erkennbar sind. Bitte nachbessern. Ich spiele es so gerne weil ich gerne erfahren möchte wie es ausgeht und der Mörder ist!

### 2/5 — Ad after every level

*2026-05-04, version 2.3.1*

We all get it…ads make you money.  But seriously an ad after every.single.level.

Delete

### 1/5 — Charges

*2026-03-28, version 2.3.1*

As per the game stating any purchase will stop all the ads, so I bought the pack fully expecting no further ads, and all the ads are still there. So please think about purchasing as it doesn’t work.

*2025-10-26, version 2.3.1*

I would give it 0 stars if I could. I used to love to play this game, now when I try to purchase coins or other bundles I never receive them and Apple will not refund me the money anymore. This has been happening for the last month and a half.

### 1/5 — Too many adverts

Deleted the game after 5mins, an ad would play after the completion of a level.

### 1/5 — Frustrating
