It’s always had ads, but the last five months they are longer (sometimes Liz back to you back) .. one showed a timer that counted down 3 minutes… and usually you need to watch ads 2 to 3 times. The third Ad issue is that often you can’t exit out or close the ad. I had one tonight… x’d out of it 10 times to no avail. After 12 minutes I shut the phone off… it was the only way to get out. Ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Worst game ever *2026-08-03, version 1.3.2* The ads are too long ### 1/5 — Rigged for ads *2026-08-01, version 1.3.2* The game itself is nothing special. Fun yes but most of their ads are completely different from the actual content and majority of the levels are rigged so you can’t win and you have to watch an ad. ### 2/5 — Poorly designed levels *2026-07-29, version 1.3.2* Fun but you are forced to watch a ad to unlock perks in order to be able to get through a level. ### 1/5 — Adds and impossibity *2026-07-27, version 1.3.2* Two mins adds are ridiculous even when you pay to remove them and getting billed was more than it said. Also sometimes you can’t even remove the first lot of screws without it being game over or having to purchase something to get past it. What a joke ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-07-26, version 1.3.2* Impossible without watch ADs ### 1/5 — I don’t like this game *2026-07-23, version 1.3.2* This game is pay to win and nothing like the adds this game isn’t about playing it’s whether or not the game wants to give you adds and make money for them and this is for someone who is actually doing long car rides and stuff I don’t recommend ### 1/5 — To many adds *2026-07-22, version 1.3.2* There is way to many adds and its so annoying. So hard after level one ### 1/5 — Randomizer makes the game impossible *2026-07-21, version 1.3.2* Many instances where the screws on the top layer block what I can do and it’s impossible to beat unless you spend money. The suitcases don’t match what’s on the screen sometimes forcing you to lose. This game feels like a gamble each time rather than an actual skill based game. ### 2/5 — Advert farm *2026-07-11, version 1.3.2* Decent game which initially is enjoyable but before long, watching adverts becomes a necessity. Wouldn’t mind if there was a chance for skill to win levels but ultimately the game will not let you pass later levels without watching adverts. Also, will often need to watch 2-3 to unlock a reward. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2026-07-06, version 1.3.2* Glitchy. Freezes. Looked fun. Not worth it. ### 1/5 — Impossible to solve *2026-07-06, version 1.3.2* Potential to be a really fun game. However it gives the colors and boxes so random there are many times it isn’t possible to solve the puzzle without spending money. 👎 ### 1/5 — Screw U *2026-07-03, version 1.3.2* Forces you to sit through 5 minute ads and actually closing the ads after 5 minutes is more difficult than the puzzles ### 1/5 — 課金の意味 *2026-06-26* 無課金でほんとにクリアできる？というステージもありますが結構ハマってやっていました。とにかくCMが多く楽しかったのでCMなしの課金をしましたがまさかの1日のみ笑 ひど過ぎます。 ### 1/5 — Advertisement *2026-06-26* The game is nice but they have created the obligation that without watching ad. Player wont be able to play. This is the worst thing. They think we are fully free and came here to waste our time. But came here make your mind active when we are tired. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2026-06-24, version 1.3.1* It’s literally unplayable unless you are willing to spend a lot of money on passes. I’m on level 4, I cannot get past it unless I spend a majority of my time watching adverts or buying passes. Not worth it. I saw the add in instagram and thought it would be nice. I was mistaken. ### 1/5 — No functionally working *2026-06-20, version 1.3.1* Most of 5 stars review here look fake or paid. When you watch the video after level 3 will you return to different screen. ### 1/5 — Way different. *2026-06-17, version 1.3.1* I was excited about its simplicity, and challenged by the differences. Then when i downloaded the game it was all different. I didn’t like the visual at all. ### 1/5 — Принудительная реклама *2026-06-13* Заставляет смотреть рекламу уровни без рекламы не проходимые ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t get it for your mental health *2026-08-25, version 1.3.2* This game has gotten me addicted to it and not in a good way! I can’t sleep or even close my eyes or zone out without needing too play it please do not get this game also way too many ads please save your self ### 1/5 — Not the same *2026-08-23, version 1.3.2* Nothing like they are advertising.. ### 1/5 — scam game wtf? *2026-08-23, version 1.3.2* would make me watch adds to continue playing then tell me I loosed after I watched adds for things to help in the game. Just a horrible game please don’t get. ### 1/5 — Money grab *2026-08-19, version 1.3.2* Only way to win is by continuously watching ads to stay alive, not worth ### 1/5 — App keeps closing itself *2026-08-11, version 1.3.2* App continuously closes on itself. So frustrating and bummed to lose all my progress. ### 1/5 — Nothing but ads! *2026-08-10, version 1.3.2* Nothing but ads! ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-08-10, version 1.3.2* Fake ads that make it seem interesting. But the actual game is monotonous. ### 1/5 — Ads from hell *2026-08-10, version 1.3.2* Impossible levels force excruciatingly long ad watching ### 1/5 — Плохо *2026-08-06* Без рекламы невозможно пройти ни один уровень ### 1/5 — Bye bye *2026-08-03, version 1.3.2* Constant ads more waiting for ads than actual playing the game I will spend my time looking for a similar game with less ads ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good but one problem it’s very strange *2026-06-09, version 1.3.1* So when I got this yesterday I love playing this but when I got stuck I would click one of the help options and I would get an ad like normal but after the ad my screen would basically turn from vertical to horizontal🫪 and I’m like what my screen was just vertical not horizontal please fix this. And the first time this happened I closed out the game and went back in my progress in the game was totally gone of course I was disappointed I thought this was supposed to save my progress I just wanted a calm Monday evening please fix the problems. ### 5/5 — Really good *2026-02-28, version 1.3.1* I rlly enjoyed this game and idk why ppl say theres lots of ads bc theres not really amazing xx ### 5/5 — fun game *2026-01-03, version 1.3.1* i think this game is very fun and is very good at keeping someone entertained, i would definitely recommend you play this game!!!! 10/10 ### 5/5 — Good *2025-11-22, version 1.3.0* So good ### 5/5 — Funy… commercials are extremely lengthy… some levels were done by interns ??? *2025-11-20* I’m at level 91… but the last three levels feel like they were developed by an intern with no experience! You expect the levels to get harder and more interesting, but that’s not the case here. Even the basic principle — finishing one color to make another appear — isn’t respected anymore! No QC? ### 5/5 — ADDICTED. I don’t care about the ads. *2025-11-12, version 1.3.0* Yes it has ads. They take like 30secs. The game itself tho is awesome. I’m on level 139. Been stuck on it for a few weeks but won’t cheat lol. I will get it!! ### 5/5 — Addicting *2025-11-06* I’ve been playing this game for months now. I love that every time you lose a level the colors are in a different configuration the next time you try. Even if I’m stuck on a level for a while, the changes make it still feel fun ### 5/5 — amazing *2025-09-21, version 1.2.8* i love this game its amazing so fun ### 5/5 — Fantastico para pasar las horas!! *2025-09-07, version 1.2.7* Entretenimiento a raudales!! 👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Can be a little laggy *2025-08-27, version 1.2.5* Game can be a bit laggy sometimes but still works anyway --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
