### 1/5 — Has glitch

*2026-06-30*

You are supposed to be able to build an invention after completing levels. I finished the metal box and have 32/16 pieces but it states I haven’t collected all pieces. 
Not going to purchase an app that doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Mystery box

### 1/5 — Mal ficelé

*2026-05-17*

Bloqué dès le niveau 2 alors que j'ai résolu l'énigme. Le pire, c'est que quand je demande un indice à l'application, elle me dit de faire ce que j'ai déjà fait !
Ne marche pas bien. Je désinstalle.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, I'm sorry to hear that you had some issues. Feel free to get in touch with me at https://xsgames.co, I'll be glad to help ;)

### 5/5 — Great for puzzle lovers

*2026-02-15*

This is great for puzzle lovers. Makes you think, no two puzzles are the same Challenging but solvable. My only suggestion would be to add a hint when you think you have solved the all the puzzles. A clue as to which one is wrong and a second hint as to how to solve it if asked.
