### 4/5 — Nice game

*2026-08-30, version 2.4.6*

Nice game and love the graphics. Sometimes I don’t understand how to win the each challenge, but I keep coming back.

### 5/5 — So fun

*2026-08-23, version 2.4.5*

Love this game

### 5/5 — Very fun game

*2026-08-22, version 2.4.5*

Keeps me thinking

### 5/5 — Exactly the game I was looking for!

*2026-08-19, version 2.4.5*

Challenging but not overly complicated. Love the cartoon-like look and feel as well as the tropical ocean vibe. Devs, don’t change a thing. It’s just right.

### 5/5 — TEN

*2026-08-12, version 2.4.5*

Out of TEN

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-10, version 2.4.5*

Perfect variation on the match 3 games, without the levels that can only be completed with power-ups like in candy crush and the rest of that genre. Graphics are really clean and simple. 
My only (minor) complaint would be that there’s too much time wasted going back and forth to the island. I have no interest in decorating it etc.

### 5/5 — Ads should not play at 110 db

*2026-08-09, version 2.4.5*

Hope you get sued for hearing loss… you and google ads which have a non functioning mute button….

Guetglutpssjc!!

### 5/5 — Best puzzle game ever

*2026-08-06, version 2.4.5*

One of the only sliding puzzle games I’ll ever play it’s phenomenal it’s a must to try.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-08-05, version 2.4.5*

So I got the game and I load onto a grey screen nothing more for around 5-10 seconds then the game crashes does this every time can’t find a fix

### 5/5 — Parfait

*2026-08-03*

Pas mal du tout merci beaucoup pour le jeu je l’adore
