### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-08-09, version 1.0.12*

I’ve been playing this game for a while now . I really enjoy it . I like the fact that it sometimes has you do different puzzles here and there

### 5/5 — Yes Jayashree.

*2023-12-14, version 1.0.12*

Like it very very much.

### 3/5 — Great game but…

*2023-04-03, version 1.0.12*

This game is a lot of fun, good graphics, nice variety of puzzles, and decent music if you can stand to watch a lengthy ad every other game.

### 2/5 — Bug

*2023-01-10*

Bug niveau 26. Lorsque l’on a fini le 1er plateau, on passe au 2ème mais, dès que l’on touche ce plateau, on reviens tout le temps au premier. Donc impossible de continuer…

**Developer response:** Une nouvelle mise à jour, la version 1.0.11, devrait être en ligne à tout moment, ce qui résout certains problèmes rencontrés par les joueurs. Nous nous excusons pour tout inconvénient causé et merci de votre patience. Veuillez mettre à jour votre application vers la dernière version pour le meilleur expérience de jeu.

### 4/5 — Update

*2023-01-07, version 1.0.8*

Thank you for the update I appreciate your efforts.

### 2/5 — Ads play after purchase

*2023-01-05*

I purchased this and the ads are still playing.

**Developer response:** We humbly apologize for the inconvenience caused by the annoying ads. Fear not, as the solution has arrived in the form of version 1.0.8. Go ahead and give it a try, and the ads will be nothing but a distant memory!

Please let us know if it worked for you!
