User reviews

Love the game, hate the update

I can no longer change my username or profile picture (it says “Invalid JSON response” when I try) and I strongly dislike the new aesthetic. The game doesn’t even look like the app logo anymore. I wish there was at least an option to change back to the old font and colors.

Recent Update is Awful UX

I’ve been playing this game for a year or so and always enjoyed it. But this recent update has made it so much harder to understand the board. The symbols are much less clear about what they mean. And having the boxes be outlines instead of filled in is much harder to see what space is open on the board. Might have to find an alternate app for this style of game.

Hard to draw boxes

I play all games from Simon everyday, they’re awesome, but Patches has a sensitivity issue while drawing boxes, especially when the board is zoomed out, that makes it nearly impossible to draw them the correct size on the first attempt. It is annoying and impact players aiming to be well ranked.

Response from developer

Hi, sorry the box drawing is fighting you when zoomed out, that sounds genuinely annoying 😖 On my test devices everything draws fine, so it might be something device-specific. Would you mind sending a short screen recording to hello.guriddo+patches@gmail.com? With your help I can hopefully narrow it down. And thank you for playing all my games every day, that means a lot!

Add temporary marker feature

Fun game, I would greatly appreciate if there was an option to add temporary/“note” boxes: like if you have a 7 and you know it must fill 5 certain boxes, you could make a temporary box of size 5 around the 7.
Or just a pencil/color marker like in the other games would work too.

Response from developer

Hey cardboardcats! Thanks for playing and leaving a review. ❤️ You hit the nail on the head with this suggestion, and you are definitely not the only one who asked for it. After popular demand, a highlighting feature is already on its way, it will drop in version 1.0.6! Hopefully, that will make tracking those tricky numbers a lot easier and save you some headache. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😊✌️
