Gutes Knobelspiel, aber …

Eigentlich ein super Denkspiel, leider wird das cheaten nicht unterbunden. Es ist unmöglich eine Aufgabe, wo 20 Sterne gesetzt werden sollen in 13 Sekunden ohne zu tricksen zu lösen.
Wenn das Schummeln unterbunden wird, gibt es den 5 Stern und das Abo zurück.

Scam ads in game

I really enjoyed the game until I finished a puzzle and got an ad that said “your account has been hacked!”. I can’t believe a company would allow that type of predatory scam ads on their app. I instantly deleted the app and came here to give the review.

So fun!

My only complaint is that you have to buy a lot of the puzzles. Other than that, great game, very relaxing.

Poor update

Edit: I have now cancelled my annual subscription.

I like this game so much I have a paid subscription but I really don’t like the new update. The placement of the “hint” button has lead me to click on it multiple times. Please move it to the right hand side instead of keeping it on the left! It makes me not want to play the game anymore due to frustration.

Gutes Spiel!

Nachdem ich das Spiel über mein iphone für ein Jahr gekauft hatte, hatte ich zunächst Probleme, auf allen Geräten die
Packs kostenlos zu bekommen.
Nach zwei Tagen ging es plötzlich.
Die App gefällt mir sehr gut, lediglich die Farbaufteilung sollte so sein, dass benachbarte Bereiche nicht gleichfarbig sind.

Response from developer

Hi Backofengemüse, natürlich kannst du deine Subscription auf mehreren Endgeräten gleichzeitig nutzen. Wenn du das selbe Profil auf beiden Geräten nutzt, wird die Subscription ohne Probleme geteilt. In meiner Mail an dich am 15.01.2026 habe ich dir auch eine ausführliche Anleitung geschickt, auf die ich nie eine Antwort bekommen habe. Woran scheitert es? Frust in den Reviews raus zu lassen, hat meistens noch nie geholfen :D
