### 1/5 — WAY TOO MANY ADS

*2025-10-01*

I first found this game YEARS ago and I loved it but had to delete for storage on my phone and forgot about it. Saw it recently when going through previously downloaded apps and decided to download it again. Same game, but there are ads after every single level. Even the non-story options. Which, if you take a bit to finish them then I guess it’s not a big deal but I finish these levels really quickly so I have to sit through an ad every 5-10 seconds. And if I exit out to try to avoid the ads, I have to go back through the menu and it takes just as long as the ads to get back to the level I was on. Super frustrating. I miss when games were literally JUST games and not full of ads. I get the concept of ads and why they’re there, but it’s annoying as h e l l.

### 5/5 — Ravie de l’avoir retrouvée!

*2025-08-26, version 7.3*

J’ai peinée à le retrouver des années après, mais la recherche en valait la peine! Un jeu qui répond aux attentes du joueur : casse tête avec juste ce qu’il faut de challenge, des illustrations riches, sans trop de pub, et avec une histoire immersive et efficace. Il mériterait selon moi beaucoup plus d’attention pour ceux qui cherche un jeu qui fait travailler les méninges tout en détendant de par son atmosphère!
Merci à l’équipe derrière ce jeux qui m’a beaucoup satisfaite de par son gameplay simple et efficace👌
(Non je n’ai pas été payée pour mon commentaire ce jeu m’a juste vraiment plu x))

### 2/5 — 广告太多

*2025-07-22*

画风还不错但是平均过三四关就会弹视频广告

### 5/5 — Sequel/More Lore???

*2025-07-12, version 7.3*

I adore this game sooo much when I was younger and up until now, I was quite relieved it would still be here in the AppStore after some years of not playing. I have just finished the First and Second Story of the Main game and I am now heading onto completing the Normal Levels. This game truly has inspired me to love Nonogram puzzles to the fullest; and I just feel sad about almost completing everything in this game.

Developer, I would understand clearly if you don’t have any plans on continuing or doing anything with the story or game itself; but I would be entirely happy, just hear back from you after so many years, on any opinion you have about the game’s future, and whether this game will unfold into something new, or stay where it is 👍❤️‍🩹

### 4/5 — Banish the ads!

*2025-03-06*

I love playing this game but I cannot select the option to get rid of the ads. I am willing to pay but the Pay/shopping cart option doesn’t work

### 4/5 — Amazing, but…

*2025-03-02*

This game is one of my favorite childhood games. I love it so much! The puzzle and cute story, a beautiful game it’s also VERY underrated and deserves more players and bigger attention. Biggest issue is ads. If the game had no ads it would’ve been wayyy better. The ads are very annoying.

### 5/5 — Relaxing and can be quick

*2025-02-05*

It’s a perfect game for me because you can pick it up at any time, and play for a short time or as long as you want. I like the music. I’ve finished the whole thing a couple times and have replayed it over the years.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2024-06-26*

I absolutely love this game. Peaceful yet addictive. I enjoy it so much that Ihave played start to end so many times. I finish the game and reset and start over. Also love the graphic design. This game has given me so many hours of joy. Huge Thank you to the developer.

### 5/5 — Really Great

*2024-02-04*

I don’t really like nano grams nor am I good at them but I wanted to try and like them. I think what really hooked me was the storyline and visuals

### 5/5 — Best nonogram

*2023-12-28*

Very relaxing. The colors, art and music are all perfect. I play this before bed to help me relax and wind down. The 20x20 ones are a little too big to play easily on a phone screen, so I just play the 10x10s and 15x15s over several weeks then reset it and play them again. I have some other nonogram games but this one is my favorite.
