### 5/5 — Simple for few ads

*2023-04-01*

They haven't started to load the game down with tons of ads.

### 3/5 — Game keeps sticking, ads won’t go off the screen!

*2022-11-23*

I am going to have to stop playing. The game keeps sticking and stopping. The ads won’t go off the screen, especially that tiresome one with the king who gets in trouble! It keeps going and going, and won’t go away after hitting the X over and over. My other games with ads don’t do this, just this one. And no, I am not going to pay to stop the ads if the game itself keeps sticking!

### 5/5 — Pyramid

*2022-02-22*

It’s fun
