Very frustrating and disappointing! ### 4/5 — Bonus *2026-05-14, version 1.33.1* Pas assez de bonus ou indication pour en avoir ### 3/5 — Abandoned game? *2026-05-13, version 1.33.1* I really like the gameplay and the storyline, but there hasn’t been an update to add rooms past the recording studio so I’ve moved on to other games. It’s a shame because this is a very good match 3 game. ### 3/5 — Why *2026-04-29, version 1.33.1* How do you stop the game from popping up constantly in the middle of you playing other games it is irritating. I want it to stop. ### 2/5 — Was a great game *2026-01-22, version 1.33.1* When this game first came out it was great! I was able to get close. I was at level 1156 before I couldn’t get any farther. However, when I started over, I can’t get past 300, they’ve made it too hard. I’m guessing that they weren’t making enough money, so chose to go that route. Unfortunate, as I would have been happy to buy the game outright. ### 5/5 — Found an error… *2026-01-17, version 1.33.1* I saw something while playing above the game and I tapped it. It seemed like an hack of rooms. I am NOT gonna do that to your game, as cheating isn’t the right way to play. Please remove that button from above the jail gate in the first room so nobody can cheat! ### 3/5 — Hi developer 👋 *2026-01-16, version 1.33.1* Seriously 🤨 why does the game need to shuffle when there are useful moves.. typically it doesn’t when you need it to the most.. instead shuffling then.. you only have the option to waste move(s) + lives Please improve the game by simply adding more than 5 lives or creating them to add back up DURING infinity.. also go back to updating regularly so game doesn’t keep dropping out during playing ### 5/5 — Napoleon *2026-01-15, version 1.33.1* Great game ### 2/5 — Hi developer 👋 *2026-01-03, version 1.32.6* Please improve the game by simply adding more lives than 5 or creating them to add back up DURING infinity Also go back to updating regularly so game doesn’t keep dropping out during playing ### 5/5 — Game *2026-01-02, version 1.32.6* What a great co ordination game and it goo for oldies like me ### 5/5 — Update: I apologize for this old rant. *2025-11-14, version 1.32.5* Hi. I love your games. They are amazing! If you know, I sent a rant about this game and the other using Ai. I didn’t know why this was the case but then I read some of your comments and I felt bad for not knowing sooner. It’s okay to use ai as long as you don’t replace your artists and talents for it. Thank you for understanding, and please accept my apology for not knowing in advance. Heather ### 4/5 — Stopped loading *2025-10-15, version 1.31.1* Great game except that when I reached 270 I’m not able to load the game anymore. My phone is updated and there’s no new updates to the game. This seems to be a bug. Update: It took me reloading the game a few times, but it finally cleared up. ### 2/5 — Hi developers 👋 *2025-09-23, version 1.30.3* Games like this don’t seem to be made very often Only downside is 5 lives max ⁉️not even a video for extra moves When there finally is infinity.. if you have run out of lives beforehand.. they should be adding back up a lot quicker during the infinity.. isn’t that the whole idea of it 🤨 ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-09-20, version 1.30.3* This game allows you to have fun without putting too much thought into it. It’s relaxing, but still mildly challenging. I just started, but I’m sure it will become more challenging as I get farther in the game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2026-06-22, version 1.33.1* I have been playing this game for a while. I’m up to level 2571 and I am frozen. It says they completed the level and it won’t go past so I can work on the last level of the game. I would like to put out a support ticket, but I can’t find anywhere on the developers website where I could take care of that. ### 1/5 — Game isn’t being updated *2026-04-06, version 1.33.1* This game used to have weekly events and they are all gone. Official Socials like fb hasn’t had an update in a year. Seems like a dead game. ### 1/5 — About this game *2026-01-28, version 1.33.1* I want to write about this game this game is very good but this game really stresses people out. ### 1/5 — Hi developer 👋 *2025-12-13, version 1.32.6* 🤬YOU CANT WANT YOUR 5 STAR RATING BAD ENOUGH Otherwise you would get your act together and improve the game by simply adding more lives than 5 or damn well creating them to add back up DURING infinity.. unbelievable.. this is the first and only game I have come across that doesn’t! ### 1/5 — Disappointed - no response or improvement *2025-11-03, version 1.32.2* Games like this don’t seem to be made very often Only downside is 5 lives max ⁉️not even a video for extra moves When there finally is infinity.. if you have run out of lives beforehand.. they should be adding back up a lot quicker during the infinity.. isn’t that the whole idea of it 🤨 ### 1/5 — Fun till it wasn’t *2025-10-02, version 1.30.3* Great game till I got to the end several months ago and it never has updated. ### 1/5 — Scam after lvl 800 *2025-07-23, version 1.28.0* Devs have all lvls hard, harder and worse from lvl 800 and on. They only do this to make you use money. Devs are just greedy and have gone out of their way to screw players who have spent time in their game. Don’t start - just a waste. Report it to Apple for a Scam ### 1/5 — Long-term scam *2025-07-13, version 1.28.0* Almost every puzzle after lvl 1000 requires money (in-game coins and real life money) to be spent since every puzzle is unlisted but is Hard or Very Hard. There are no means to get resources as all ‘modes’ they advertise you to join use the core puzzles to track advancement. This is a scam and just about the worst type of devs. Enjoy the beginning but don’t bother playing after lvl 1000+ ### 1/5 — ANIMAL SANCTUARY *2025-05-27, version 1.27.1* Trying to download your game Animal Sanctuary but it won’t let me because it wants me to add a payment method. First of all why is it asking for this? And second I already have a payment method but it says it “failed “ What is going on??? Anyway I am commenting here because it won’t let me comment there or write a review. Please correct it. Thanks ### 1/5 — They remove 1 star reviews that’s why it has a 4.9 rating *2025-05-08, version 1.27.0* This game is fun, if you like match 3, until about level 100, then the creators of this game program the levels to loose unless money is spent. Every level is rigged to loose unless you use power ups (rockets, bombs, masks) and the rockets do not go to help the play. They explode on squares that don’t need it. Also pieces move opposite of how you moved them. Be prepared to be extremely frustrated playing this game as it can take weeks to finish one level. There is no reward for returning every day to play. And it would be nice if you could watch an ad to get an extra play. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Update *2026-07-06, version 1.33.1* My game has not been updated in a while. When will it be updated so I can continue playing. I really do love this game so I would love to continue on. ### 5/5 — Help *2026-06-04, version 1.33.1* I finished 19 rooms and now my next room has remained locked!! Please help thank you ### 5/5 — love this game *2026-04-26, version 1.33.1* the investigation room is great if you could add the chair in the back of the desk to be unlocked as well adds to the fun of the game! UPDATE: It’s not a dead game. It still updates somewhat. But just note that they have another game they’re working on, and sometimes it can take a while for a game to update. So please be patient, it’s always worth it in the end! :) Also, I love the characters, the levels, and the animations! It’s so beautiful 🤩 and it’s really good and fun!
