### 1/5 — Ads are too long and there are too many

*2026-05-27*

Like the title says, the ads are way too long. My screen is set to shut off at 30 seconds. I shouldn’t have to touch the screen even once, much less two or three times watching an ad for a measly 100 coins.

You also need to watch ads for EVERYTHING. Need gems? Ads. Need coins? Ads. Want extra rewards? Yup, you guessed. More ads. 

No ad should be longer than 5 seconds. I don’t want to sit through an ad, then be forced to wait an extra 10+ seconds so I can interact with the game being advertised, only to then deal with a popup to download it. 5 second ads tops.

### 1/5 — Честно об игре.

*2026-04-26*

за деньги играть в него стоит, это пустая трата времени, но сама игра хорошая, если бы не одно но, то что позиции не во всех таблицах  расставлены правильно, уже вторую ни как не могу расставить.

### 2/5 — Could be good…

*2026-02-16*

The ridiculous amount of ads ruins what could be a good time.

### 1/5 — Multiple Puzzles with Multiple Solutions

*2026-01-19*

I’m on the second group of puzzles and have encountered a lot of puzzles with multiple solutions. This means these puzzles must be brute-forced and can’t be solved logically/algorithmically. I’m forced to use hints for these puzzles as a result. 

It’s really bad that I’m only on the second set of puzzles and am already encountering a lot of basically impossible puzzles. It feels like a purposeful move by the developers to force players to spend money on coins for clues

### 1/5 — Many Adds

*2025-12-20*

It takes over 30 adds to complete a board or more adds are very long not worth playing at all

### 1/5 — 使えない

*2025-12-05*

操作性最悪
広告を見ての特典は一切反映されない

### 2/5 — Obnoxious with ads

*2025-11-16*

I love Nonograms and I love merging games. I also thought this would be great to do together, but it is so annoying with all of the ads. After you finish a Nonogram no matter what size it is they give you an option to watch an ad to give you three times the rewards, and a separate “ad-free” button to get regular rewards, but no matter what you pick you still have to watch an ad for some reason and I hate that.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-11-08*

Love it

### 2/5 — 納得感が無い

*2025-10-30*

完成するとドット絵に色がつくが、ドットの時点ではあった線が消えたり、全く違う形になったり、そもそもなんの絵か分からなかったり、とにかく納得感が得られない

### 3/5 — 面白いが要修正

*2025-10-01*

ゲームシステムは面白いと思いますが、パズルの答えが1パターンに決められないケースが時々あります。矛盾なく盤面を埋めれば（たとえ想定解の絵と違っていても）クリア扱いになるので詰みはしませんが…。
