### 4/5 — Agree every game by this developer is great

*2026-01-19*

I changed my rating hoping for a response. I am stuck on puzzle 2. There is no place to put “Bat” is there any additional instructions? Yes I did look at website. I’m using IPad that could be the problem?

### 5/5 — 気になって再びプレイして納得！

*2026-01-04*

私はNABOKIもZerkoも、のんびり試行錯誤しながらピッタリ・スッキリで心地良いし、コンパクトでシンプル、そして美しいパズルだから大好き。間違えても戻せるので動かしながら考える事ができて楽しい。でも、Overwords は違う。レベル15くらいから難解な組み合わせや手順を先に見つけないと解けない。個人的に苦手な感じなので諦めていましたが、最近、再挑戦したら「出現する単語の重なり具合が凄く良い」事に気がついて解く事ができるようになりました。レベル20を超えても「狭く感じてたフィールド」を有効に活用できて面白い！オススメです♪

**Developer response:** レビューと応援、本当にありがとうございます！

### 3/5 — Stop asking for reviews

*2025-09-10*

I cannot continue with the game without writing a review.  That’s why I’m writing this. Annoying! Please make a paid version that doesn’t do this. I will buy it.

**Developer response:** Hi! Please explain, game is never asking for a review :) And it's a paid version. I think you've put a review for a wrong game :)

### 5/5 — Simple, relaxing, just enough challenge

*2025-08-31*

Like other games from this developer, this is very polished and a joy to play. Also like their other games, there are no instructions (beyond a super-brief tutorial)—you figure it out as you play, which adds to the fun. The gameplay is straightforward and there is just enough challenge to keep you fully engaged. Definitely worth the small purchase price!

**Developer response:** Thanks for playing and for the review. Cheers!

### 5/5 — Buy every single one of this guys games
