HOWEVER. The amount of ads is super frustrating and I bought the “No Ads.” But if making ads pop up every 2 seconds so people buy “No Ads” is a business technique, would you rather make a good game but make less money or make a bad game with too many ads and bad reviews and make more money? Think about it! ### 2/5 — Dumb *2026-08-11, version 1.20* It’s poo to many adds don’t even bother to pay £2.99 because it is just a waste of money although when you first get it there are not so many adds it is actually addicting and enjoyable which is why I gave it three stars. I got a toy from smiths for three pounds you can use money and use for something other than adds ### 3/5 — To many ADDS *2026-08-08, version 1.20* I love the game but there is too many adds and its too annoying But after all i love the game ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-06, version 1.20* This game is really amazing except for the ads but thank you for making me this game so much ### 3/5 — Here's the reason why you should not...... *2026-08-05, version 1.20* Hi so I used to play this game but then I deleted it because there was way too many adds like if you go back to get an element ADD and not just one TWO then you might have guess it anyway so Lintrly right after the two adds you go back to the board and guess what TWO MORE ADDS like bro (｡•̀ ⤙ •́ ｡ꐦ) !!! (,,•᷄‎ࡇ•᷅ ,,)? I if I want to watch an and with more than one add I would have gone to safari and sherch ADD like come on I downloaded a game not a ADD 🤬😟🤬😡😣☹️🙁😕😒😞😔😤😠😓😭😢🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😞🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬(💢｀Д´) (ง🔥Д🔥)ง😒😞🥺🥺🥺😭😭😤😠😓😓😠🤬🤬😡😡👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👇😾👿🤕🤐 ### 4/5 — Almost great. *2026-08-04, version 1.20* This game is pretty good besides the fact that it has SO MANY TEA BREAKS. And IDK if this was a developer choice or not but my challenge puzzle is stuck on the first one. And when my challenge puzzle was working, they weren't that challenging and there weren't that many, so to make the game a bit more entertaining I feel the developers should add some more challenging challenge puzzles. Besides that I feel this app is pretty good. ### 3/5 — TOO MANY ADDS *2026-08-03, version 1.20* It’s a really fun game, I enjoy it a lot, but it needs to cut down on adds! ### 2/5 — Ads ruin this *2026-08-03, version 1.20* This dev completely gutted an otherwise really good game with too many ads. I would have paid for this after some time if there ads were less frequent, but I’m refusing now because I don’t wish to condone this kind of thing in 10 minutes I must’ve had 25-30 ads, no exaggeration. ### 3/5 — 😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩 *2026-08-02, version 1.20* I think this kind of game is really really satisfieing💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 ### 4/5 — Good *2026-07-30, version 1.20* You worked hard and I appreciate that work thanks for everything ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — To many adds *2026-08-22, version 1.20* Terrible game the game is fun but every other thing I do a add pops up so bad ### 1/5 — ℍ𝕆ℝℝ𝕀𝔹𝕃𝔼 *2026-08-18, version 1.20* 𝕋ℍ𝔼ℝ𝔼 𝔸ℝ𝔼 𝕋𝕆𝕆 𝕄𝕌ℂℍ 𝔸𝔻𝕊 ℂ𝕃𝕀ℂ𝕂 𝕆ℕ 𝕋ℍ𝔼 𝔾𝔸𝕄𝔼 𝔸𝔻 𝔽𝕀ℝ𝕊𝕋!!

Want to do challenge mode well get two ads as a reward for each single one. Uh-oh looks like you’ve been placing something for thirty seconds but don’t worry; one whole minute of ads will help. ( BUt wHy doN’T You JusT tuRn oFF wI~Fi ) THE GAME…NEEDS WI-FI.. TO WORK. This is the most ads I have ever seen in a game. I don’t understand how this game has a 4.7. So do not play this or you’ll want to strangle the devs. ### 1/5 — Adds every 30 seconds *2026-08-16, version 1.20* I keep getting adds every 30 seconds and it makes it unplayable. I’d say 70% of the gameplay is adds. ### 1/5 — The ads in this game are too much 1 every second *2026-08-10, version 1.20* Good game but every time I pick an element I get an ad ### 1/5 — Pls help me, I’m dumb *2026-08-09, version 1.20* How to mix? (Will change to 5 stars after a reply, it’s one star so y’all see this) ### 1/5 — Adddddds *2026-07-30, version 1.20* Good game but when i get a new element it turns into an add. ### 1/5 — To many ads *2026-07-28, version 1.20* The game was fun at first but after a while it was hard to use. It keeped giving me ads everything was locked. I thought this game would be fun because it had 5 stars but it’s as boring as all the other games. ### 1/5 — Ads,ads and more ads *2026-07-26, version 1.20* This game is always bombarding you with adverts i.e when you start a new material, when you load a game mode, when you open the app and when you erase something, I would not recommend this app to people who like winding down with sandbox apps because you will never get 5 minutes without an annoying advert. ### 1/5 — Constant ads *2026-07-23, version 1.20* Can't play offline ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love, just give you a thing you should try it *2026-08-24, version 1.20* Again, I like you a lot ### 5/5 — SO MUCH ADS *2026-08-16, version 1.20* I know that a lot of you guys have been saying that this game has a lot of ads. I wish I could handle that and to be honest, I hate ads. Unexpected timings and it is just so annoying but this is a 5-star review. Stay curious. Btw, did you know that you can get sunburned underwater? Because you can and that is a fact. ### 5/5 — FIVE STARS *2026-08-12, version 1.20* It's amazing and satisfying ### 5/5 — It’s good *2026-08-11, version 1.20* I made a idk what it’s called but it’s something ### 5/5 — Bed lost *2026-08-11* That’s just ### 5/5 — ... *2026-08-10, version 1.20* My dad never came back with the milk ### 5/5 — Good but too many adds *2026-08-09, version 1.20* It’s really good but there’s just too many adds like when I was making cheese I got the milk but then an add popped up out of nowhere after I’d tapped on it and it’s the same with everything else so if you could just make less adds in your game I would be extremely happy if you did. Thanks for reading my review hope you do the changes I suggested ### 5/5 — Sandbox super the best *2026-07-31, version 1.20* I like this game this game is actually creative and the best part is you get to make your the best thing you can imagine and it’s free ### 5/5 — I hate this game *2026-07-29, version 1.20* Too much add it’s too much ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-07-28, version 1.20* This game is fun but to much ads --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
