Closed it out opened it up went to next level and poof ad again. This game has the potential to be a great game IF it didn’t bombarded you with ads. Deleted the game already at level 6…. Off to try a million other games! When you remove the ads, I’ll play it. ### 1/5 — Paid version still makes you sit through ads *2025-07-13* I tried the game, enjoyed it enough to pay for the VIP no ad version- except I still have ads. If you get stuck on a level you either have to watch an ad or pay money to try again, even with the VIP version. It’s basically just an ad machine. ### 1/5 — Constantly pauses music *2025-06-11* The games are fun enough, but if you’re listening to music it constantly pauses it. It’s very annoying. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We've fixed this issue and released an update on the App Store — version 1.30, published on June 15. Please update the game when you have a chance! If you’re enjoying the game, we’d really appreciate it if you could leave a higher rating and share it with your family and friends. Your support means a lot to us and keeps us motivated through challenging times! ### 1/5 — Holy ads Batman !!! *2025-06-08* Ads are out of control and long! No thanks **Developer response:** We're really sorry about your experience with the ads in the game! If possible, please consider purchasing the ad removal pack — it’s not too expensive and it’s a big motivation that helps us get through these tough times! ### 1/5 — Full of ads *2025-06-04* If I wanted ad I’d watch rv **Developer response:** We're really sorry about your experience with the ads in the game! If possible, please consider purchasing the ad removal pack — it’s not too expensive and it’s a big motivation that helps us get through these tough times! ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2025-04-17* Game is absolutely riddled with ads. Completely ruins the enjoyability of actually playing it. Make one mistake, and you have to watch a 2 minute ad. No thanks. Fun, but I deleted it in less than 2 full minutes. **Developer response:** We're really sorry about your experience with the ads in the game! If possible, please consider purchasing the ad removal pack — it’s not too expensive and it’s a big motivation that helps us get through these tough times! ### 1/5 — “Ad free” is a scam *2024-12-24* I paid for the “ad free” version, yet there are a TON of ads still. Rip off ### 1/5 — Too many pop up video ads *2024-11-16* Bought for 5 and 7 year olds and paid for ad free. keep getting pop up videos not suitable for young kids. Cannot play game ad free. Too many pop up videos. **Developer response:** We sincerely apologize for your experience. After purchasing the ad removal version, ads within the game will be hidden. However, if a player runs out of assist options, such as Undo or Unscrew, they can choose to watch an ad to gain additional hints. It’s possible that your little one accidentally tapped to get more hints. Thank you for your understanding! ### 1/5 — Demanded to Pay After Level 200 *2024-07-23* You get all the way to level 200 just to be stopped and demanded to pay to continue. You shouldn’t have to pay for anything, as many apps as there are that are free. Removing the app immediately after this review. **Developer response:** We have made all VIP Level packs FREE in the latest update! Please update and continue playing! We hope you will continue to support the game. ### 2/5 — to many commercials *2025-06-21* good game just way too many commercials in it just too play a few games ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ابیی *2025-05-16* ناب ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-09-27* Love it **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! If you enjoyed the game, please share it with family and friends. Your support means a lot and helps us get through challenging times! ### 4/5 — Too many adds *2024-08-06* Too many adds. I’ll watch a few but this is nuts. **Developer response:** Thank you! Please share this game with your friends and family. It helps us a lot during this difficult time! ### 3/5 — Sometimes it works *2025-06-03* It’s actually a fun puzzle game but the progress doesn’t always save. So you can play the daily challenge and it never saves that it was saved. I’ve done every level so the challenges don’t let you make more coins or win challenges. Glad I didn’t spend money on this. ### 3/5 — Fun BUT *2025-03-30* The game is very good but I think having a way to pause the timer so you can take a phone call or move would make it more enjoyable. Also the one puzzle game won’t let you go any farther than level 30 without sharing which is sad ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2024-09-07* Way too many ads, one every other level **Developer response:** We’re very sorry for the ad experience in the game. You can upgrade to the VIP version to remove ads and enjoy better gameplay while supporting our team with a cup of coffee. Your support means a lot and helps us get through challenging times! ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2024-12-11* I thought it would be a nice game to clear my mind after a long day but ads pop up constantly and it’s not dynamic at all. You get interrupted and annoyed more than entertained. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
