There are words that are in the dictionary that are not accepted. You win most levels and get NOTHING. No prize, nothing at all. You just keep playing with nothing to show for it. ### 2/5 — WAY too many ads! *2026-07-27, version 1.20.0* Game is challenging and easy to play. However there are ads before and after every step. Too distracting. ### 3/5 — Ads *2026-06-24, version 1.20.0* The amount of ads on this game is ridiculous. ### 3/5 — To many ads during the game *2026-05-29, version 1.20.0* Some of the ads are just unfounded ads. The other night a pornography ad popped up. Very graphic. Very disappointed in the management or non management of the game. ### 3/5 — Bad ads *2026-04-23, version 1.20.0* If you love annoying ads this game is for you. Otherwise this is an excellent and challenging game. ### 4/5 — Update *2026-03-02, version 1.20.0* Won’t let do an update ### 4/5 — Don’t bother!!! Greed has taken over *2026-02-07, version 1.20.0* This used to be a fun game because you only got punished with an ad after the game ended. Now you can’t even start to play without having to watch an ad AND to add insult to injury it interrupts you several times DURING the game with ads. Sometimes the ads freeze up the game. Don’t bother. So annoying ### 2/5 — Good and Bad😩 *2026-02-05, version 1.20.0* This game is a good one but the long, ridiculous ads are VERY frustrating. Beware!!!! ### 2/5 — Too Many Ads *2026-02-02, version 1.20.0* This game is challenging, and I liked it. However, the number of ads popping up has increased. I will not be playing it anymore! ### 3/5 — Ads freeze game *2026-01-07, version 1.19.0* I have to restart my iPhone every time two ads play. Gundry and… I can’t recall. Drives me crazy!!! It’s awful! ### 2/5 — False advertising *2026-01-06, version 1.19.0* This game advertises "no ads" and yet I'm seeing adds every other level. I was looking for a calming game with no adds and they did not deliver on that promise ### 2/5 — Ads Squared *2025-11-28, version 1.19.0* Yet another almost reasonable game plagued by breaks after every round is done. not a quick flash ad, theyre long enough to break the flow of progress. The game itself is very repetitive, stuck with brainless "Muzak" pap. no contender as it is, not all that stimulating regardless of the supposedly "Dr" dame seriously telling us that other games dont stave off brain rot. If those dont, neither will this thing. Tried, deleted. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2025-11-28, version 1.19.0* Would be a good game but after level 11 there is an advert after every game ### 3/5 — Totally uninterested *2025-11-27, version 1.19.0* This is a great game and I enjoy playing it, what I absolutely detest is the unending and ever increasing adds. These are all directed toward women and as I am a male who has no interest in female products you may guess they are of no interest in them. ### 3/5 — Reklamsız demeyin *2025-11-21, version 1.18.0* Reklamsız diye indirdim reklam dolu oyun ### 3/5 — False Advertising *2025-11-21, version 1.18.0* I found this game through another games ad and it states it has no ads ever like many games do but this is obviously not true. I like the game itself but the ads are annoying. I understand the need to make money to continue updating the game but instead of just going with you need to watch a ad for a reward and even micro payments would be so much better. Another thing is you could have no ads behind a paywall so people can buy no ads. Just a thought. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too much ads *2026-03-13, version 1.20.0* I’ve been playing the game for a month there’s been ads constantly. This needs to be fixed instantly. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2026-02-21, version 1.20.0* Says no adds .wrong ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-02-06, version 1.20.0* The ads just go to a blank screen and won’t close! Don’t play because they just keep showing ads if you close the game so you can’t win!! 😢 ### 1/5 — Went down hill *2026-02-06, version 1.20.0* This game was great until they started putting ads in that are impossible to close. Very disappointing ### 1/5 — Marjorie *2025-11-28, version 1.19.0* How can I tell if it’s harder than I think if I don’t get to it before I die!! PLEASE divide the game at the beginning so people get the chance to actually play the harder games. ### 1/5 — Ads!!! *2025-11-26, version 1.18.0* Way too many ads. Not serene at all ### 1/5 — More ads *2025-11-23, version 1.18.0* They say no ads but thats a lie. ### 1/5 — Kicked me off *2025-11-20, version 1.18.0* Got to level 152 and froze. Rebooted my iPad several times, finally deleted the app, which of course, started at the very beginning. Really enjoyed the app but very disappointed that it froze and lost hours of play. Guess I’ll move on. ### 1/5 — Scam! They are at it again! *2025-11-19, version 1.17.0* LL Bean advertising is a scam!! Go to LLBean.com. If the sale isn’t there the ad is a Scam! I fell for this “90% off” and got my accounts hit! Don’t fall for it!!!! ### 1/5 — This has ads *2025-11-15, version 1.17.0* The marketing for this game said no annoying ads, well it DOES have ads so now I’m deleting it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Interesting game *2026-02-22, version 1.20.0* I have just begun playing this game.
