### 2/5 — Adverts that stay stuck on screen

*2026-08-14, version 1.145*

I really like the concept of this game but the adverts keep staying stuck on the screen so you can’t play.

### 1/5 — Game doesn’t even load

*2026-08-10, version 1.145*

I’m running a new iPad and this game won’t even load past the beginning screen, such a shame it looked cool

### 2/5 — Was one of my favorites, but…

*2026-07-03*

I have reached level 686 and was progressing well until I noticed that my screen kept freezing part way through sudoku, usually in first level as I neared completion. I’ve tried exiting, restarting, starting playing a game where I froze just after leaving the first level via the climbing wall. Any ideas as to a possible solution without deleting the game and starting over. I’m playing on a 1TB 13 inch iPad Air, running iPad OS 26. I haven’t upgraded to 26.2 as every time I upgrade, my unit locks up. I’ve gone to the Genius Bar twice and they check the units software and say it is fine but I hate having to reinstall software using my MacBook Pro then waiting for all my apps to load an recover from the backup.

**Developer response:** Sorry about that! And you can get rid of the ads through getting some items in the shop - look for those saying "Removes ads". :)

### 1/5 — Stuck on same level

*2026-05-19, version 1.142*

So why not post my review? Stuck on the same level of 139 for over a month. Emailed support 3 times with zero response.  Glad I didn’t spend any money on this game. Just updated the game hoping it would be fixed. Nope.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2026-05-17, version 1.141*

Too many ads forced on you.

### 4/5 — Good, but beware the ads

*2026-02-26*

I just got this game today, and I like it so far. Nice to see something different…most match 3 have silly childish graphics with very small playing boards. This one is not just a copycat. I was ok watching an ad for game rewards, but some of the ads have no way to exit them and go back to the game…I had to force-close MatchVentures and restart it. I waited for the ‘X’ to go back, and I tested it on one ad…5 minutes with no X. From now on no ads for me.

### 2/5 — Gemstone

*2026-01-06, version 1.137*

I like this game is funTo play but I have to keep deleting it and adding it back because it’s not giving me my points or my gems, so can y’all please fix this webpage?

### 2/5 — Annoying Ads

*2026-01-05, version 1.137*

I really like this game. Although the graphics are nice and challenging, the ads are too much and irritating. I wish there were an in-app purchase option for ads-free.

### 2/5 — Annoying Ads

*2025-12-31, version 1.136*

I really like this game. Although the graphics are nice and challenging, the ads are too much and irritating. I wish there were an in-app purchase option for ads-free.

### 2/5 — Annoying Ads

*2025-12-30, version 1.136*

I really like this game. Although the graphics are nice and challenging, the ads are too much and irritating. I wish there were an in-app purchase option for ads-free.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.146 — 2026-09-01

Cherry Blossom Hollow was named after the incredible explorer who first discovered the area. Her name was Cherry Blossom. No really, it has nothing to do with the cherry blossom trees. It's just a happy coincidence. There's also a breed of badgers that live in the hills which were discovered by the same explorer, who aptly named them blossom badgers.

### 1.145 — 2026-08-01

One of the oldest keeps in the kingdom, Eagleview Manor sits serenely along the banks of the North Fork River, in the Greenleaf Forest. It protects the area from attacks along the river. Not that anyone or anything has ever attacked along this river, but you never know.

### 1.144 — 2026-07-17

Summercoast Castle was built by the king for his son, Prince Callahan, when he came of age. The king assigned his son many important duties to be performed there, far from the capital city, such as naming forests, and monitoring cloud movement. It certainly had nothing to do with the King wanting his annoying son out of the way. No, certainly not.

### 1.143 — 2026-06-01

Whisperwind Hall is the home of Shepley, the King's construction adviser. It was built in secret, under cloak of night. At least that's the rumor. Considering that some of the walls are a bit crooked, that makes sense that it was done in the dark. Shepley's favorite pastime is to explore the surrounding Whisperwind Woods and collect leaves for his leaf collection. He insists that it is a very interesting hobby.
