Interesting, different and challenging
I’m really enjoying these puzzles, never seen anything like it before. I usually get to a point that I think it’s impossible before clarity arrives. The game is making advent very enjoyable and I’m actively looking forward to the next days puzzle.
I really want to give this 5 stars unfortunately the game needs a little more testing. I think there is a problem with day six. I have three solutions which work and mark all the clues white but which aren’t accepted as completing the puzzle. This is further complicated by the fact that the clue marker for the bottom right is obscured by what I think is a bit of paper.
There is also a problem with day seven, two of the clues were being marked as wrong when I couldn’t see any other possible explanation for them. In the end I completed the whole puzzle as though I was right and even though they were still marked as wrong my solution was accepted as correct.
I would love to contact the developer for clarification because I really think this app has potential but I don’t think their website has been updated since before the app was released.

Response from developer
Hello Pkaybrok, first of all: please accept my apology for this extremely late response, but I wasn't even aware that you had left a review. I am sorry that you had problems when you tried to start this game. The thing is, though: neither can I reproduce the phenomena you described, nor can anyone of our testers. Actually, nobody else reported even the slightest problem when running the app on whatever device was used, so chances are that whatever you observed was unrelated to this app altogether. And the fact that reviews from users in other countries are all in the 4 - 5 star range seem to confirm this assumption. But just to make sure: maybe you could let me know what iPad model and which iOS version you have been using, so I can investigate further. However, there indeed were some minor bugs in the game's logic which prevented the player from making it all through to the end, but these issues have been remedied long ago. We also added some new "mystery" to the game recently, so maybe I can encourage you to run an update of this app and give it another try … and let me know if the problem persists. Rest assured: nothing inside this app is able to damage your device … if there was, it wouldn't have been cleared by Apple for release.
Frustrating but fun
Another frustrating aspect of the puzzles is how long it takes to do anything (like mark your results), but it’s not so bad as to put me off. These are a completely new type of puzzle to me and really enjoyable.
I’d like to find more of these puzzles, but despite searching for various words from the description I can’t find any!
