For this reason, I will be deleting the app. It is not fun to continuously fight with the notification screen. ### 4/5 — I’m nightmare Freddy *2025-12-02, version 1.2.10* And I’m in your head ### 4/5 — Fun game but stops working *2024-11-23* Fun game but both times I’ve downloaded this game, it just stops working at a certain point. I go to play and the screen pops up and immediately closes without letting me play. This time, it’s at game #109. I’m current with the updates. Very frustrating! ### 4/5 — Need a 2 *2024-11-20, version 1.2.8* Why is there no 2 I need an overpaint 2 ### 2/5 — Crashing *2024-10-18* I love this game but for days I’ve been trying to open it and it immediately crashes. I’ve tried all the reset your phone close the app stuff and I even deleted it. Nothing works. ### 3/5 — Love this game! But it’s crashing *2024-09-12* Really love this concept, but now it’s crashing and there doesn’t seem to be a fix/: it also bothers me that it says pink & blue make dark blue? Haha no, that would be purple… ### 3/5 — Refuses to start *2024-06-14, version 1.2.8* The game is fun but I can’t get past the title and start screen without it completely closing out. ### 3/5 — please fix the bug *2024-06-08* I thought the game was fun but recently it started crashing when I open the app and it won’t stop so I can’t play :( ### 2/5 — Game is fun but is now crashing *2024-05-30* The game is fun, but trying to pull down the colors especially blue and yellow often results with pulling down the Notification Center and losing a move, at least on my screen size. I would like for the sensitive area to be larger so I don’t have to pull all the way from the top of the screen. Additionally, as others have reported, I was around level 42-47 when the game started crashing after I ran out of hearts, and wouldn’t get past the menu screen without crashing again. I am using a 2nd gen iPhone SE on iOS 17.5.1. I tried restarting the app and it didn’t change, I didn’t try restarting the phone. But I did uninstall and reinstall the app and was surprised to see my game progress restart considering the game is tied to the Game Center I expected my progress to be saved, as is with other games. 2/5 stars, game is fun, but frustrating and buggy. If the bugs can be addressed it would be much better. ### 3/5 — Fun but *2024-01-23* The color are so close to the corners that I keep pulling my menus down and that causes the color (usually yellow sometimes blue) to move erratically and count against my moves. It keeps making me lose levels. It jumps around because it thinks I’m pulling down my screen menus when I’m trying to pull yellow. I don’t want to change my phone settings just to play this one game. ### 4/5 — Great Game, Didn’t Like the Life System *2023-12-03* I wish there was a way to earn more lives without paying by playing more challenging rounds or something. I ran out at around level 70 and now the app crashes every time I open it. It’s a shame, I was really enjoying playing :/ **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. Our latest update should fix this. Please update the app and, if the problem persists, send us an email to hello@landka.com. Thank you ### 3/5 — Its a fun game, but it’s buggy *2023-12-01* So i’ve been playing this game for a week and got to level 67ish. but now every single time i press play on the opening screen, it closes the app. it’s super fun while i could play it though **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. Our latest update should fix this. Please update the app and, if the problem persists, send us an email to hello@landka.com. Thank you ### 2/5 — Fun but broken *2023-11-25* I’ve enjoyed the game so far, each level is incredibly fun. However, I reached level 23, but I had to quickly do something so I closed the app midway through the level. Upon returning, i could get to the title screen but when I hit play the game closed and restarted. I redownloaded the app and went back to level one. I went through the levels again and reached 55. I similarly closed the app midway through the level and once again I couldn’t play anymore. Really annoying, I won’t be restarting again. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. Our latest update should fix this. Please update the app and, if the problem persists, send us an email to hello@landka.com. Thank you ### 4/5 — Level 103 *2023-11-19* Something with the yellow screen over the blue and green dots passing through it. The screen cannot be pulled down sufficiently so that the dots resolve. Needs to be adjusted. I am aware other levels have had issues which have been corrected (Ty). Really enjoy playing but cannot progress because of this glitch. Otherwise, the game is great! Will await the fix and then continue with the game. 😀 **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. The recent v1.2.3 update should fix the iPhone bug on Level 69.

It’s a wonderful game to play on breaks. My only issue currently is level 69 is currently unplayable. The yellow doesn’t go far enough to complete it.

PLEASE FIX THIS ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — CRASHES *2025-11-21, version 1.2.10* This game should be pulled and people refunded.

It was child’s play up to 17. Just when it started getting fun the hit you up for $. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — Great, but keeps crashing *2016-02-16, version 1.1.2* I loved the game but now every time I try to open it the app crashes 😢 ### 1/5 — Now unplayable!👿 *2015-05-09, version 1.0* I love this game, used to play it all the time but I'm playing it on iPhone 6 and it's physically impossible to beat level 167, the space between the menu is too small and you can't overlap it, I've tried every walk through but on iPhone 6 the playable area is the wrong proportions. I loved this game but I haven't been able to play it for over a month due to the impossible nature of this level! Hope it can be fixed in an update😟😡👿 ### 1/5 — It's very OK *2015-04-27, version 1.0* I like the game concept! I enjoyed the game, it's great! I don't like the freemium model! F...K the freemium model! ### 1/5 — Stupid *2015-04-09, version 1.0* Unless u r prepared 2 spend money every time u lose some lives do not get!! ### 1/5 — What a sh!tty game *2015-04-05, version 1.0* This is way below boring with no challenge and completely time consuming don't get it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A wonderful game - Bug Fixed!! *2023-09-25* This game is how you start romanticising life! Imagine going to a jazz club, ordering an old fashioned, and staying for long hours after dark, all while the problems of modern life fade into the background. Like the sound of that? Play this hidden gem. Best of all? No ads ;) Edit - Unfortunately there is a bug that causes you to not be able to complete level 45 (at least on the iPhone (I’m not sure about other devices). This is due to the yellow tile not reaching low enough. This is a true shame as I used to play this game daily. I truly hope the developers fix this as I previously gave this app 5 stars. Still, I do think this game is wonderful, and it’s worth playing the first 45 levels even knowing it’s impossible to go past that. Edit 2 - Bug fixed!! 💕 **Developer response:** Thank you for reporting the bug. Glad that we were able to assist you. ### 5/5 — So relaxing, love the music *2021-05-19* This game is a fun puzzle game, but it’s the music that makes me like it the most. What song is that, and by whom? ### 5/5 — A free to play game without constant ads *2020-08-11* It doesn’t have any ads and you can easily play without feeling like you need to do the in app purchases.
