If it said "failed" it's probably because you misread some of the clues. The hard level is actually quite hard. But I'll concede some of those clues could be better written as to avoid confusion, I will definitely get that fixed on the next update. Thank you for raising this issue! ### 1/5 — AD spam *2026-07-22* Game is fun and super unique but is unplayable due to an ad literally after every single 15 second puzzle. Throw the phone in airplane mode and there’s an unskippable 15 second message from the dev asking for $10. I understand supporting but if the only way to play the game is to pay $10 to get rid of disruptive ads, just list your game for $10 **Developer response:** hey! honestly, thanks for the feedback and for being direct. it's not always easy to calibrate these things. I made a point of not showing ads "during" the game, only between games. So the gameplay is never interrupted. If you're very good at solving these puzzles and you finish them fast, I imagine you can go through many ads in one day, especially on Easy mode. Ads should be skippable though after a short timer, but sounds like that's not what you're seeing. It's either not working or too hidden. I'll take a look. If you're up for it, I'd love if you join our discord (https://discord.gg/2X5sj8zy27). Direct feedback like this is what helps me improve the game. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t show accurate top 10- fake? *2026-08-09* It’s a fun little game, lots of ads but one time payment to remove. The thing that annoys me the most is that I believe that the top 10 results are either faked or something’s going wrong…! Twice if a scored fast enough on the hard daily challenge to place 6th and then 3rd on a following day, felt proud of myself both times and both times my scores never showed in the leaderboard. It acknowledges I’ve played the level as I can’t play again until tomorrow but does not give me my time and spot in the top 10. The fact it’s happened twice now is suspicious. **Developer response:** they're definitely not fake. what you're seeing is a bug and I'll make sure it's fixed asap. thanks for reporting it ### 3/5 — Top score bug *2026-08-11* Love the game!! However, twice I’ve beat the daily challenge with the fastest time and my score doesn’t show. **Developer response:** hi! this error should be fixed on version 1.13.0 onwards! ### 3/5 — Has potential! *2026-08-05* Needs 2 things in order to be 5 stars. Number 1: when you are placing a character, the Xs should be automatically placed along with that character. Number 2: it is VERY time consuming to have to scroll all the way down to the last level completed. The game should remember your place so that you aren’t wasting time scrolling and scrolling. **Developer response:** Hi! Believe me when I say that I will implement these two things you mentioned. Expect them on release 1.14.0 Thank you for giving my game a chance and taking the time to give me this feedback. It helps me make a better game ### 3/5 — Puzzle Issue *2026-07-29* Love the game but quickly encountered an unsolvable puzzle. Dead Man’s Cove Case 2 Easy. **Developer response:** "Besides" the towel may include water tiles! You're not the first one to get caught on that one, which means the clue is not clear enough. I'll review it. Thanks for mentioning it! ### 4/5 — Great app but ads are too much *2026-08-21* I love the app but the ads feel excessive there is one after every game that you can finish quickly so thats basically and ad a minute I love that it makes you money but maybe you could space it out tl maybe every 3 games or something **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the feedback. I chose never to interrupt gameplay with ads, only between games because I thought that we'd be less disruptive. I'll consider spacing them out in case you finish cases very quickly though. Btw, there's a cheap one-off purchase to get rid of all ads for ever. ### 4/5 — Girl I ain’t paying $13 *2026-08-11* For the love of god please just show me a 10 second random ad rather than the exact same 15 second ad asking me to pay you $13 ### 5/5 — Love murdoku!!!! *2026-09-02* I love the animation style so much it reminds me of miffy the sweet lil’ bunny. ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2026-08-26* Was looking for this type of game (“Murdoku”) for so long, I have just downloaded and it is very easy to navigate, very intuitive, instructions are clear and the most important it’s fun ! **Developer response:** so glad to read this! i'm so happy you like my game ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bonjour *2026-08-14* Bien mais j’aimerais bien qu’on sache qui est le tueur à la fin **Developer response:** C'est le seul personnage qui reste dans la même pièce que la victime ! ### 5/5 — Fantastic puzzles! *2026-08-07* Best game of its kind in the App Store and well worth the money. Thanks to the developer for making the game so good **Developer response:** Hi! Believe me when I say that I will implement these two things you mentioned. Expect them on release 1.14.0 Thank you for giving my game a chance and taking the time to give me this feedback. It helps me make a better game ### 5/5 — Love *2026-08-03* Just started it but I love is so far. **Developer response:** thank you for playing my game! ❤️ ### 5/5 — So fun, very nicely designed!☺️ *2026-07-11* I got into mystery sudoku originally with a puzzle book I fell in love with but wanted to see if there was an app so I didn’t have to carry my book around. Absolutely love this! 😊The illustrations are adorably designed and the mysteries are fun and have levels of difficulty which is nice. It’s exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for making this app! 💕 If I had one suggestion it would be a button to let us mark like a red X in squares we know someone can’t be, but that is a very minor thing ☺️ **Developer response:** believe me when I say, reading this review really warms my heart. thank you for making my day. and thank you for playing my silly little game! ❤️ so glad you like it! btw, I'm working on the "x" button! ### 5/5 — Clever game *2026-06-29* One of the few to take the sudoku concept end make a really interesting game of it. If you enjoy logical games this is very worth your time. **Developer response:** thanks for the nice review, and thank you for playing my game ### 5/5 — Fun puzzles! *2026-06-25* Neat concept for a Sudoku-type puzzle game **Developer response:** thank you! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Adictivo e inteligente *2026-06-24* Me encanta porque me obliga a pensar y usar la lógica en cada caso. Es como un sudoku mezclado con una novela de detectives. Muy recomendable. **Developer response:** muchas gracias por jugar mi juego y por la review! 😊 ### 5/5 — Best out there *2026-06-23* The game is really amazing , i can’t stop playing it !!
