It’s clever, challenging and fun to figure out how to win…UNTIL game 1169, the one with 10 apples and no way to win. After 5 days of being stuck I give up. Unfortunately, it is the only game in Apple Arcade with this type of puzzle (I’ve played quite a few and this is the last one) and if I quit this game I’ll also quit Arcade. With any luck the developers will see this and provide some tips on what is needed to win. ### 1/5 — 脳トレにはならない。 *2026-05-27* 最初はキャラも可愛いしパズルも爽快感あったんですが、エリア11あたりからアイテムを使わないとクリアすら厳しくなってきました。 パズルも運に頼る部分が大きく、頭を使ってクリアするようなものではないです。 次エリアに進めるには各ステージのスコアが一定値必要だというのに、そのスコアが頭打ち。 スコアを伸ばすにはキャラ育成が必要なのですが、そのためのコインがちっとも貯まりません。 そのうえキャラ数だけは多いときた・・・。 一生かかっても育てきれる気がしません。 Arcade でやるゲームではないですね、これは。 久しぶりにやってみたけれどもやっぱりコイン貯まらないガチャ引けない。コインたくさん貯まるとかガチャに困らないという人は1日24時間フル稼働で同じステージでもプレイしてるんですかね。 ### 5/5 — 으아아아아ㅏㅇㅇ *2026-05-26* 진짜 기엽구요. 쉽고 재밌기까지 해여!! 인생겜이에열!!! 넘조아여!!!!! ### 5/5 — Great game UNTIL level 1169 *2026-05-19* I’ve really enjoyed this game. It’s clever, challenging and fun to figure out how to win…UNTIL game 1169, the one with 10 apples and no way to win. After 5 days of being stuck I give up.

I’m like what just happened to that and sometimes I’m like what in the world just happened to my Screen and it gets really glitchy kind of like a bug ## Frequently asked questions about SUMI SUMI ### What is SUMI SUMI: Matching Puzzle+?
