### 2/5 — Upgrade error

*2025-08-16*

The game screen slows down after the update.

### 4/5 — Challenging

*2025-05-22*

I’ve been playing this game for years and years. Love it! I wish free hints would load faster. lol

### 4/5 — Nice

*2019-08-31, version 1.2.0*

Awesome love it endless fun

### 2/5 — Rewardless

*2018-04-29, version 2.4*

When stuck and can’t move forward solely dependent on “buying” hints...total money spinner!! The offer to watch an add to gain a hint every 24hours isn’t forthcoming. Deleted this app even though the challenges and possibilities were very inviting.

### 4/5 — A very fun puzzle game

*2018-03-11, version 2.4*

This game overall is incredibly addicting and fun. I’ve gotten to Australia, but that’s where the fun ends. The puzzles are excruciatingly hard and it kills the fun out of it. Obviously they should be hard, because it’s the last continent, but I don’t want to sit in a frustrated state, and I don’t want to wait a week+ to get a hint. So I go somewhere else.

### 5/5 — Lol Don't Listen to the Negative Reviews

*2017-02-12, version 2.1*

Do NOT lay attention to the salty people who lost their progress and/or are stuck and venting their frustrations with the game. I just beat this game, so rest assured, it's solvable. The whiners are simply quitters. Persevere enough and you'll also complete it.

### 3/5 — Simple fun

*2017-02-07, version 2.1*

A very old app that's ok to play IF you aren't listening to music. This app reduces the volume of your playback more than 30% and gives the music a vocally-muted sound quality (with the apps sound and sfx on off. WHO DOES THIS?!

### 5/5 — What to do when stuck for some time???

*2016-09-23, version 2.1*

The current version is my first experience with this game, so no process was lost. However, I am now stuck on Seattle level 12 and no more hints available. Kind of frustrating. Up until now, I was really enjoying the game though.

### 2/5 — What happened??

*2016-09-01, version 2.1*

I loved this game, and played all the time. The new update lost all my progress, and to be honest I'm really not fond of any of the new updates and features of the game. Lost its luster for me, I probably won't continue playing

### 3/5 — Stuck

*2016-08-24, version 2.1*

Iam at level 24 in Miami and I am 85% sure it's a unsolvable level. I ran out of hints so now I'm just stuck. Sorta ruined the game for me.

### 3/5 — Move it

*2016-08-09, version 1.1.0*

Very fun game to play

### 1/5 — they changed the background music

*2025-12-23, version 2.7*

The old background music was classic. why did you change it? i had this on my phone since 2014 entirely for the music, but will be uninstalling now

### 1/5 — Uninstalled. Could steal passwords.

*2021-10-19, version 2.5*

Takes clipboard data without you pasting it. This app reads the clipboard each time you use it.

### 1/5 — Bon jeu

*2019-10-20*

Les hints payants c’est non. 
Faites nous regarder des videos pour en gagner...

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2019-01-17, version 2.5*

Do not waste your money on the in-app purchases. You won’t get the hints!

### 1/5 — Do not update

*2017-02-22, version 2.1*

New ownership screwed up the game, you lose all progress. Mechanics and animation are different, not the same.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time

*2017-02-11, version 2.1*

Not fun.

### 1/5 — Over it!!

*2016-12-26, version 2.1*

I love this game but when my progress got erased, I erased the whole game.

### 1/5 — Crap ap

*2016-09-06, version 2.1*

Played for a long time, suddenly all progress lost. I could look for ways to recover what's gone but it was easier to just delete it. Which you shroud do.

### 1/5 — Lost all progress

*2016-08-23, version 2.1*

New owner should have found a way to keep users' progress in the game. I used to like this game, but not enough to do all those levels again. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Hate New Format

*2016-07-31, version 2.0*

I hate the new format from the new owner. It's too slow, and it tells you if you've lost even before you could figure that out on your own. I'd rather come to that conclusion myself through trial and error if need be. Older format was much better. Very disappointed!

### 5/5 — 인생게임이예요

*2026-02-16*

2012년도 공부할때부터 했는데 지금까지 하고있네요. 제 추억이 담긴 게임이예요! 군더더기없이 깔끔한 디자인에 광고도 없고 모든게 좋습니다. 자고 일어나서 잠깰때 가볍게 하면 두뇌회전도 되고 너무 좋아요. 너무 오래되서 없어질까 매번 걱정하면서 했는데 6개월전 업데이트라니 ㅠㅠ 개발자님 정말 감사합니다. Happy new year!!!!

### 5/5 — Need saxophone！！！

*2025-11-16, version 2.7*

Dear game developer, I am an old player for more than ten years. I have liked the background music of this game since I was a child. But now the music in the game does not have the previous saxophone, but the saxophone is the essence of background music and the essence of the game. I really hope to change the background music to the original version with saxophone. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Love it

### 5/5 — My favorite game of all time

*2019-09-24, version 2.5*

I’ve been playing this game since 2012. Then I stopped... they made an update changed the music and i never played it again. Now it’s back with its original music and I’m so excited. It’s such a relaxing puzzling game!

### 5/5 — so good sound!
