### 2/5 — Meh

*2026-06-04*

I wish it had a 20-card pile option. And it REALLY needs an undo button. The cards are smaller than a fingertip and it’s too easy to grab the wrong card or accidentally drop it on a side stack on the way to put it on a center stack.

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. We appreciate you taking the time to share them with us. 🤩

If you haven't already, please make sure your game is updated to the latest version available in the App Store. 💖

We also appreciate your suggestion for a 20-card pile option and will share it with our development team. 👍

Regarding the undo button, we understand how helpful that could be, especially when cards are accidentally selected or moved. We have noted your feedback and will pass it along to the team as well.

Cheers, 
Garia Games Team

### 3/5 — Fun… but could be better.

*2026-05-02*

Good game and very relaxing, but I’m not sure how to move up in badge status. I move up in levels, but not badge. I’ve been playing everyday and I’m on level 28 and still considered a “rookie” in the “badges” and win most of the time. Also, there used to be an option in settings to have 20 cards in the pile, but that’s gone now. The only options are toggle between 5 or 10 instead of 10 or 20.

**Developer response:** Hi there, 

Thank you for your feedback! 😍

You can level up faster by playing and winning more games daily. You can also try Diamond Club to boost your progress and level up even faster. 💎✨

For 20 Pile, you need to turn it on in the game settings. If you ever need more details or support, just tap the Feedback button in the game and send us an email. We’re always happy to help. 💛 

Cheers,

### 4/5 — Game

*2026-02-12*

The game’s all right I’ve been playing this game since I was young but I sure would like to know about the scoring technique. What are these blue stars for? I mean I’ve got like 40,000 points stacked up here so I’m just wondering.

**Developer response:** Hi there 😊

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. It’s wonderful to hear you’ve been playing since you were young. We truly love that the game brings back great memories for you 💛

Great question about the blue stars. They track your overall progress and achievements in the game. They are separate from your round points and reflect milestones, performance, and how much you’ve played over time.

If you ever need more details or support, just tap the Feedback button in the game and send us an email. We’re always happy to help.

Cheers,
Garia Games Team

### 5/5 — Solid playing experience

*2025-09-03*

Solid game, ads aren’t too bad, wish level up goals were given to know what level earned certain rank.

**Developer response:** Hi there! 

Thanks so much for the great feedback. We’re really glad you’re enjoying the game, and appreciate you noticing the balance with ads. 😊

To help us better understand your suggestions, please tap the Feedback button in the game and email us directly.

### 5/5 — Ads start out low and ramp up

*2024-09-12*

[Update] Thank you for the directions on finding the subscription! That fixes any issues I had with the ads. 

Great game that I’m more than happy to pay for 😃

**Developer response:** Hello, We understand your frustrations with the ads, and have introduced a paid subscription to remove the ads in this version of the game. Please tap on the "Diamond Club" icon to remove ads within the game. You get a free trail of 3 days too! Tap the feedback button in the game if you need to reach out to us anytime!

### 2/5 — Ads start out low and ramp up

*2024-09-10*

This is a pretty predatory move. The ads just get worse and worse and happen during more and more game events until it’s just like any other free to play garbage app. You can’t even pay to remove them so your experience just gets worse and worse until it’s unplayable.

### 1/5 — Tells you what moves to make

*2024-04-19*

Until there’s an option to turn off the annoying, pushy demands on what moves it wants you to make, I’m deleting & downloading a different Spite & Malice app.

**Developer response:** Hello there!

We have removed this feature. Please update the app to enjoy playing the game!

### 5/5 — Spite and malice

*2024-04-15*

It a good training aid.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the compliments! Tap the feedback button in the game to reach out to us anytime!

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2024-02-13*

Fast paced and easy to play. Good times for all.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the 5 star review! Tap the feedback button in the game to reach out to us anytime!
