Just got started! Had write a review and rate is is the only thing I don’t care for! If I want to rate something I’ll do it because I want to! Not because I have to! ### 4/5 — Beautiful but tricky! *2023-02-03, version 1.0* Love having to out thought into every puzzle! ### 3/5 — Just started *2022-03-28, version 1.0* Having fun so far. ### 3/5 — Reviewing because… *2022-03-15, version 1.0* I need the hints.

After every 3 actions with ads the game crashes. It's impossible to play not because it's difficult but it takes five minutes of ads to do even the smallest tasks. Ridiculous! Try making the ads run after each level or option to watch ads to gain a hint. As it stands, this is a unnecessary frustrating performance set up. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads Ads Ads *2023-11-26* Got 5 ads before I could even try to play the game and finally got to play and guess what got another ad within a couple of seconds.
