### 4/5 — Disgusting ads

*2026-07-25*

There is nothing to be said against this game. It is very well made and very entertaining. One star is subtracted, though for a certain type of ads:
Actually I do understand the necessity of ads, and them being annoying is part of their effectiveness. In fact this game uses them comparatively sparingly. However, what I cannot understand is, how on earth somebody would assume that I, playing an arcade game would be interested in some other game where people are shot or stabbed, a little girl freezes almost to death, or some king falls into a pit of lava. The scenes displayed between my games are sometimes nothing but cruel and disgusting and sometimes make me want to delete the whole thing altogether. 
Avoid those ads and you get the full five stars from me!

**Developer response:** Hi, I hear you on those ad scenes, they really don't match the cozy puzzle vibe I'm going for. Sadly I don't get to handpick the ads (they come from an external network), and with millions of new creatives rolling in, blocking the bad ones is a bit like playing whack-a-mole 😅 I do block whole categories where I can. Really happy to hear you're enjoying the game itself, thanks for playing! ❤️

### 4/5 — Super Spiel, aber viel Werbung

*2025-11-17*

Wie auch die anderen Spiele des Anbieters, macht auch dieses super viel Spaß und gehört für mich seit Langem fest zum Tagesablauf! ☺️ Mich stört nur, dass ich wirklich jedes Mal dieselbe, elendig lange Werbung angucken muss. Auch finde ich schade, dass man teilweise auch nach Beendigung eines Tagesrätsels nochmal Werbung hat 😒 Ich kann verstehen, dass sich das Spiel wirtschaftlich rentieren muss, aber teilweise habe ich an manchen Tagen mehr Werbung gesehen als ich gespielt habe. Sieht man von der Werbung ab, ist die App aber sehr gelungen und macht süchtig 😁

### 3/5 — love the game but have some complaints

*2025-09-28*

i don’t mind the foxes and rabbits, but when you check for errors it is impossible to see because of the fox color. also, i’ve experienced a glitch with the wizard level pack. i exited the app for about 2 minutes and when i returned i was no longer able to click on anything and my progress on the puzzle was completely cleared. pls fix!!

### 3/5 — Bring back Tango

*2025-09-15*

Please bring back the original icons. These are very difficult to see when using dark mode on the phone. In addition, when using the check for error function, you can’t tell where the errors are with the pink colored background. 
I love to play this daily but with the icons change, it makes it hard to play.

**Developer response:** I agree, I miss the old design too! Sadly, this change was forced by legal threats from a large company. As a solo dev, this was the only way to ensure the app stays available for everyone. Tip: Try the "symbol" emojis in the board customizer for a similar minimalist style. Thanks for your understanding 😖

### 3/5 — please change the symbols back.

*2025-09-10*

i loved this game, i play it in my free time and whenever i can. i have all the packs unlocked and replay them often because i truly enjoyed it. the change in symbols has completely taken away all the enjoyment. if you wanted to freshen up the look, at least make one of the symbols a different color than the error color. the color of the fox blends perfectly with the error color you get if you check the puzzle. i truly enjoyed this game and now i’m on the verge of deleting it.

### 3/5 — Please no foxes and rabbits

*2025-09-08*

It was my favorite game until you changed the symbols with fox and rabbit emojis. Now it’s visually hard to play and if you check for errors, it’s near impossible to see them. Sadly, I’ll be deleting the game as it’s no longer fun for me to play.

### 3/5 — I like more old design

*2025-09-01, version 1.2.1*

It would be better to add new puzzles instead of a new design. It's not so pleasing to the eyes to play now

### 4/5 — Great game

*2025-08-29, version 1.2.1*

The game is great. Love the challenge. The only suggestion is making the marks (notes) more visible (the ones we make when we’re not certain). Like the same colour as the blocks, but with no image inside, so we know that it’s not the real deal.  And maybe a button to clean all the marks at once too. Every time I try to mark a block a certain colour to try and see if it’s gonna work I can barely see them.

### 4/5 — Can there an option for the old pattern

*2025-08-28, version 1.2.1*

I like this game, but my eyes can’t focus on these animals or any other patterns after I update the app. Is there any options that I can pick the old one? But I don’t see any. Is it possible to have that option?

### 5/5 — icons are trash

*2025-08-24*

love this app, i pay for the premium version and play it every day. i hate hate HATE the new fox and rabbit icons. it's too much on screen and overwhelming. please add back an option for simplier icons. i love everything else about the app

### 3/5 — Good game concept - weird dev

*2025-08-23*

I like the game and enjoyed it. But there are very few new packs deployed and they make weird changes to the design to incorporate animals (?) and randomly changed the name.

### 4/5 — Awesome game, but

*2025-08-23*

Sometimes there are completely redundant symbols in the puzzles, like a lightning bolt symbol being next to an equals symbol which will always be the case. Also, please let us chose which symbols we want the squares to look like, I’m a much bigger fan of the old ones and would like some customization options. Otherwise the game is awesome!!

### 3/5 — So-so

*2025-08-23, version 1.2.1*

Even if you have a paid subscription there’re not enough levels.
The statistics are very poor.

### 1/5 — Gutes Konzept, Forced Triple machen aus Können ein Glücksspiel

*2026-03-01*

Schade

### 1/5 — Literally unplayable

*2025-12-24, version 1.2.6*

I bought the super wizard pack and now I can't even play daily or weekly puzzles without giving them more money or watching an ad. What a scam.

### 1/5 — Sweet but

*2025-09-13*

Realy Bad

### 1/5 — I hate the new update

*2025-08-23*

I am literally obsessed with this game, it is so addictive! But I hate the update!! They have changed the counters to pictures of a fox and rabbit? Now it looks like a game for kids so I’ll be cancelling my subscription and trying to find something similar to the original. So sad!

### 1/5 — Adds are broken

*2025-08-18*

I watched adds multiple times on different dates. The app is up to date and still after getting “reward granted” the x button wouldn’t work if I left the app there would be no reward!!!

### 1/5 — Juego de 5 minutos al día porque el resto es pagando

*2025-04-01, version 1.1.0*

Pues eso, el juego muy bien, pero todo es pagando, 10 niveles por dificultad, que acabas en 30 minutos, luego todo es pagando o 1 puzzle al día, y el semanal lo acabas en 10 minutos

### 1/5 — Great game, horrible dev

*2025-02-15*

Love playing the game, but the developer sent laughing emojis and responded in a rude way to me when I reached out for an invite issue. I get that things happen and tech issues can block any sort of further action, but to be mean and condescending? That’s crazy.

**Developer response:** Dear Sheena, if users invite friends, they can receive a free package. You wrote to me and asked if I could unlock a pack for you. I tried to explain to you in our mail conversation that it only works if your friends click on your invite link, so the invite gets benefited to your account. I use emojis in emails to ease up the conversion. I apologise to you (as I have already done by email) if my emojis got you wrong, I am happy to do again. I hope you have fun playing anyway.

### 2/5 — Such a shame

*2025-10-02*

I used to love this game but now the adds have spoilt it. Today’s ad was at least 3 times longer than the game was to play! I understand ads are needed but do they have to be so long?

### 2/5 — New update

*2025-08-26*

I loved this game but it has recently been updated with new icons (fox and rabbit), which sadly changes it completely. It was visually much better with the original icons, and now it seems a bit childish. It would be great if there was an option to reset it or have access to the original icons. Otherwise, a great puzzle game.

### 2/5 — Great game, but have to pay

*2025-06-27*

You have to have enough energy to play games, and there’s no way to get more energy without paying or watching ads. Otherwise is a good game. Not the best version of tango out there though.

**Developer response:** Hey IcyGuava32, thanks for the feedback! I wanted to clarify the energy system: The main game gives you over 400 free puzzles a year with the Dailies and Weeklies! That's a new puzzle every day. For those, you only see a brief ad after every third game. As a solo dev, this helps keep the lights on while offering a ton of free content. Thanks for playing! 😊✌️

### 5/5 — Super jeu

*2026-07-22*

J’aurais aimé que le premier jeu du pack Wizard soit accessible pour pouvoir acheter le pack en parfaite connaissance de cause

### 5/5 — ☀️🌙

*2026-07-22*

I came over from linked in playing Tango, and I am extremely satisfied with this app- I might even in the future support it further when I’m financially able. (Also that required ads are just ads for the subscription? Honestly it’s so nice to not have some unrelated ad before my calm puzzle time)

### 5/5 — amazing game

*2026-05-16*

amazing game 10/10 easy to learn and wizard levels are really fun and addictive!!

### 5/5 — 갓겜

*2026-03-22*

진짜 쩌는 겜이다.

### 5/5 — 넘재밋어여

*2026-03-13*

매일 퍼즐 좀만 더 어려웟음 좋겟어여

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요 강yhae님! 별 5개 리뷰 진심으로 감사드립니다! 제 퍼즐 게임을 매일 재미있게 즐겨주셔서 1인 개발자로서 정말 뿌듯하고 기쁩니다 ❤️

데일리 퍼즐이 조금만 더 어려웠으면 좋겠다는 피드백 잘 읽었습니다. 남겨주신 리뷰를 바탕으로 앞으로 게임을 더 개선할 수 있도록 노력해 보겠습니다!

### 5/5 — Lovely puzzle game

*2026-02-22*

Lovely puzzle game. The creators obviously put a lot of thought into making it peaceful and enjoyable. My one complaint is that there are levels where you have to guess, then backtrack if you get it wrong. I prefer where it’s all solvable by deduction. But they’re clear about it in the tutorials so it’s not misleading. Overall happy with the game!

**Developer response:** Hi Taratrax! Thank you for the 5 stars and your kind words! ❤️ I'm really glad you find the experience peaceful and enjoyable.

I totally understand your preference for pure deduction. Unfortunately, the core game principle makes it incredibly difficult to create really hard levels without it. That's why the backtracking is needed, though I made sure to limit it to a maximum of 3 steps to keep it from getting too frustrating!

Thanks for playing and for your support ✌️😊

### 5/5 — A beautiful and clever game to unplug my mind

*2026-01-31, version 1.3.0*

I really enjoy this app. The interface is intuitive, clean, and beautiful, which makes the whole experience very pleasant. I’ve noticed one or two small UI bugs here and there, but nothing that affects the gameplay or the fun at all.

One funny bug I came across was in the Journey tab inside Friends 😂 When you open Journey and select a game, the year shown under the weekday is completely wrong, it says 1920 hahaha 🤭 (honestly, 1420 would have been even cooler, but all good!).

Anyway, sometimes all I need to disconnect my mind is a game that actually makes me think, and this one does exactly that.

Thank you for developing a game that helps me slow down, focus, and think. 😬🧠

### 5/5 — Like it!

*2025-11-18*

It’s cute and nicely made.

### 5/5 — Plz Switch the Icons Back!

*2025-08-27*

I love this game - it’s become a nightly ritual before bed and has helped me replace doom scrolling! But, sadly I’ve had to stop playing because of the emoji icon update .. PLEASE, PLEASE bring the original icons back!  The emojis are not intuitive to the logic of this game making playing such an unenjoyable user experience. Reading other reviews lets me know in not alone.

### 5/5 — new images

*2025-08-25*

I love this game I play every night. I don’t like the new rabbit and fox thing how do I get the old style back ?!???
