### 3/5 — Mise à jour

*2026-05-19*

A quand la suite du jeux , après la zone 24 …plus rien

### 2/5 — Starts out Good

*2025-11-16*

Starts out good then it gets drawn out to finish a room. Too bad.

**Developer response:** Thank you for playing the game. We value your feedback and investigate the feasibility of your suggestion. Please feel free to contact us in the game if you have any concerns about the game, or anything you think can help us to improve the game.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2025-09-11*

I paid for NO ADS , but still get them.  
Fix that please so I can give 5 stars

**Developer response:** We are sorry about the problem you encountered. Please contact us via email (our email:support@wejoyplay.com) and provide more information such as screenshot of the purchase and your account UID+game app name to get direct help from support.

### 3/5 — Jeu vraiment sympa mais…

*2025-08-22*

Je comprends qu’il y ait de la pub quand le jeu est gratuit, mais là, c’est vraiment en excès, cela gâche tout, à chaque élément de déco rajouté…pub, pas sûr de continuer dommage.

**Developer response:** Merci d'avoir joué le jeu. Vendre des publicités est un moyen de profit clé pour un jeu gratuit, ce qui nous permet de continuer à développer et à améliorer le jeu. Nous équilibrons très soigneusement les publicités et l'expérience de jeu. Et vous pouvez supprimer les annonces à un prix très avantageux :)

### 2/5 — Odd Concept

*2025-08-10*

It seems odd having a fairy and witch remodeling traditional spaces. And the rooms I’ve seen so many times on other games, why can’t developers come up with something new.

**Developer response:** Thank you for playing the game. We value your feedback and investigate the feasibility of your suggestion. Please feel free to contact us in the game if you have any concerns about the game, or anything you think can help us to improve the game.

### 5/5 — Need new levels

*2025-05-19*

I love this game. In the updates of this game you need to add more levels. I am in level 500 and cannot play anymore because the levels say “coming soon”. You have done 2 updates and no additional levels were added. Please add more levels to the game.
