Why is it a subscription?
I used to love this game when I played it on my mom’s iPad when I was young. I was thinking about it again recently and decided I wanted to buy it. Turns out you can’t do that though because there is zero option to buy the game outright anymore. Instead, in order to play the full game, you have to pay $6 a month. I understand the value of a subscription like this but as someone who has no interest in any of the other games included in the subscription, there should definitely be an option to purchase the game outright, especially when it used to be an option.

Rip off
Purchased this game before Gameclub took over and I was promptly locked out. Restore purchase didnt work. Emailed support and provided proof of purchase and never heard back.
Bait and switch.
I used to own this game, I recently returned to find it gone and a subscription model implemented on a new coating of the old game. Apples limited search function won’t allow me to search directly for when I purchased this so cannot offer ‘proof’ so I’m now unable to access the game. Con artist level bait and switch move from a company trying to sell me old rope.

A nostalgic but flawed return
On a whim I looked up this game again and was absolutely delighted to see it actually back! …however when checking its reviews and hearing about a subscription that delight faded away. For $5 a month you can play EVERY game club game to its fullest, but if you want to play just one, you’re completely out of luck, you can’t buy just one game like you could back when they were first on the App Store. If you DID own it you can contact them to get it back and people have actually gotten it back that way it seems! But personally, I never got a reply even saying my proof wasn’t enough from them. You used to be able to buy this game but now you’re forced to pay a membership even if this is the only one you care for. I hope they add a single purchase option because I understand having the old game offloaded not being enough proof, but I still want to play this game again like I used to.

Stupid
Was my absolute fav and PAID for it. Then they moved it to Gameclub and can’t play anymore. And you literally have to pay just to talk to Gameclub customer service. Such a joke.
You ruined a good game
I paid for this game, and you to have it removed and rereleased under your ad spamming version. I have no interest in your subscription service.
You have ruined this otherwise great puzzle game.

Yipee!
Whoops!
Amazing game
It's really addicting and it's fun to play
Great game ruined by greed
I purchased this great game years ago but apparently now it’s cost $5 a month to play. They say previous owners will get full version doesn’t apply to me. Other review responses from developer say not all purchases will be eligible but that feels like an easy way to claim good business practices but have an asterisk that gets you out of it. Go play Konami Pixel Puzzle or any of the Luna Nona gram games.
Also for what it’s worth the controls were not nearly as responsive and nice as most current picross games

Ruined it
Thanks now it’s 60$ a year once was free oh how the mighty have fallen
Disappointing
Like others have said, I purchased the original title which was removed from the App Store in favor of this version. I’ve reached out via Gameclub’s website and via email to try and see if I could have my access restored as they recommend, but after several weeks without a reply, I don’t have any hope of receiving one anymore. I’ve no interest in the other games, and no interest in paying 5 bucks a month for a game I’ve already purchased.

Sellout
Congratulations on ruining a game! Used to be one of my favorites but so disappointed that I’ll have to delete it because the developers are greedy pigs.
subscription 👎
as much as it pains me to give a 1 star review to this beloved game i've been forced to. 5 dollars a month to play this and it only lets you get up to the second room without paying. used to love this game but the subscription ruined it. pro tip: not every goddamn thing needs a monthly subscription.

Pepperidge Farm remembers1
Remember when you paid for a game and got to keep it? Bought a new phone, it wouldn’t let me keep the version I had downloaded years ago. Was mighty disappointed, this was one of my go to’s. Decided to look on the App Store, and there it was. JOY!! So I downloaded it, and started it all over again. Then after I finished the first 2 levels it won’t let me play unless I pay a monthly subscription? And monkeys might fly out of tookus!

Same great game, now for $$$!
I played this game over and over. I was so disappointed when I couldn’t get it on my new phone! But now it’s back… and subscription-only.
That’s right, subscription. It’s not $5, it’s $5 every month! For access to this, and various other games which I don’t care about. Such a shameless money-grab!
Subscriptions make sense for e.g. MMORPGs, where there’s an actual need to pay for servers on an ongoing basis. For anything else, they’re just blatant greed. They don’t care about players, they just want cash cows!

Gameclub ruined it
This game used to be great, you could play 4 of the rooms and then you had to pay to play more. Now, you can play 2 rooms with only very easy levels and then you have to pay game club $4.99 a month if you want to play more. Why do I need to subscribe when I can play for free on other apps?? I would pay a one time payment if I could play all levels but I’m not subscribing.

Ruined
This was a fun game until they halted your progress to shove their subscription down your throat
Paid for this before
Why can’t I play without signing up for a subscription now?
Paint it Back
I remember beating this a few years back. I figured since it costs for a subscription now there would be more art galleries to paint. Hopefully they will start adding more soon. There is only so many times you can complete the same paintings. Good game nonetheless though!
