### 4/5 — ⟡

*2026-07-15*

doesnt work without vpn(T^T)

### 2/5 — ランク付け

*2026-04-15, version 6.68.0*

自分を含めてフレンドの中では自分は何位と表示されますが、そのランク付けは必要か？と思う。
それぞれ始めた時期も違うので、当然古参の方が必然的にランクは高くなる。

それは課金を煽るものであって好ましくないと感じます。
長いことやってますが、このランクを見ると気持ちが切れそうになる。

日々色々あって、辛い時期にそれを見ると突然辞めたくなります。
フレンドとは競い合うのは嫌なんですよ。
平和にパズルだけプレイしていたい。

アップルアーケードにも、すみすみ入りましたよね？
そちらでランク競わせてはいかがですか？
すみっこ自体がユルイ感じなのに、キャラクターまで嫌いになりそうになる。

物価高の影響で運営も大変なのは何となくわかりますけど、フレンド同士競わせたら辞める人増えるのでは？
私のフレンドさんもかなりログインしなくなりましたし。
自分のスマホの中くらいはノンビリとやりたいって人もいるんですよ。
競わせるなら他のイベントでやってくれ。
フェス以外にもヒートアップするイベント考えて競わせてくれ。

それが無理ならせめてフレンド内のランク付けを表示非表示を選ばせてくれ。
くだらない事でストレス溜めたくないんですよ。
って心が狭いと思われるでしょうが、毎日毎日疲れている人が多いんだから。
パズルもキャラクターと同じく癒しの場にしてくれ、本当に頼みます。

### 4/5 — Enjoy playing

### 2/5 — Money Maker

*2025-11-22, version 6.53.0*

This game is all about having to pay a lot of money to be able to progress.  I am giving up on this game.  There are too many competitions to choose from which again grabs infinite contributions from your wallet.  I will not be playing any more.  Plus you need to make your website for buying more currency translatable because it is all in Japanese.

### 5/5 — My Favorite Cute and Fun Game

*2025-09-19*

Sumi Sumi is one of those rare puzzle games that feels both relaxing and heartwarming at the same time. From the moment you open it, you’re greeted with rewards, events, and fun activities with Sumi Sumi’s. This game definitely brings a cozy, cute, and fun atmosphere that makes it easy to get lost in for hours.

Pros:
The gameplay is simple yet at times challenging. It’s perfect for casual players but still manages to offer enough challenge and strategic thinking to keep things interesting. Each level is full of cute San-X characters and desserts, whether you’re playing just a few minutes to unwind or settling in for a longer session.

What makes Sumi Sumi stand out from other puzzle games is its charm and diverse gameplay. The characters are too cute, and the animations and little sound effects make me smile every time. It’s the kind of game that can instantly lift your mood.

Cons:
That said, there are some downsides. Each level requires a clover to play, and if you don’t pass a non-completed level, you don’t get the used clover back. You have to clear a level to keep your clover, and you only start with 5. Once they’re gone, they regenerate about every 15 minutes. This time limit can be frustrating if you’re in the mood to play longer sessions. This can make you feel pressured to complete a level the first time when progressing through harder levels and can then cause you to impulsively buy in-game items just to pass certain levels. And let me tell you, this adds up fast because unfortunately, the prices for these items are on the higher side, which makes the game feel less accessible if you don’t want to pay. You’ll just have to continuously wait for clovers and hope you pass the level(s) eventually. 

Summary:
Overall, Sumi Sumi is a wonderful game, and if you’re looking for a puzzle game for short or long bursts of fun, and is also cozy, relaxing yet at times challenging, Sumi Sumi is definitely worth trying. Just be aware of the gotcha system and the pricey in-app purchases if you’re someone who likes to play without limits.

### 4/5 — Freezes a lot

*2025-09-07, version 6.46.1*

This game is addictive and fun but it freezes a lot, or gets stuck on “loading”. The main screen is also very busy and things pop up a lot. Ads always freeze after the ads play. I’ve watched a few ads this week and I still have no idea what kind of rewards you can get because I have to close the app and reopen it every time.

### 5/5 — So cute<3

*2025-08-31, version 6.45.1*

I love this game so muchy hehehe it’s so fun🥰💗

### 5/5 — I love this

*2025-08-14, version 6.43.1*

Very cute and fun to play I spend lots of my time on this very addictive 😊

### 5/5 — Review indonesia

*2025-07-30, version 6.43.0*

Suka banget luv lucu lagunya enak tampilan lucu promo event gamenya jg byk loppp

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-07-26, version 6.42.0*

Grate

### 5/5 — Best Game Ever!!

*2025-07-23, version 6.42.0*

I’ve been playing this game for like 10 years and I’ve gotten hours upon hours of entertainment. They’re never very generous with rewards, their little mini event games are awesome. You’re not timed so there’s no pressure to finish the game. The Sumi Sumi’s are so cute and I enjoy collecting and upgrading my Sumi’s. Thank you Sumi developers for the countless years of fun you’ve given me with this game! 🩷

### 5/5 — Really cute

*2025-07-14, version 6.41.1*

This game is so cozy and the animations are adorable! There little to no advertisements. Overall , it is enjoyable

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-07-13, version 6.41.1*

My girlfriend and I play this game all the time. Looking forward to more events!

### 5/5 — Cute, challenging, fun

*2025-06-24, version 6.40.0*

This has been my favorite mobile game for several years. 

Tips:  

Everything in this game (even the premium currency) can be earned for free. If you choose to spend, the best value for your money is the limited time (twelve hour) $5 ruby shop that appears each time you complete an area.

Participate in the weekly events and daily challenges for lots of freebies. 

Add in-game friends (you don’t need to connect your social media) for basically unlimited lives (clovers)—active players are REALLY good at sending each other the daily clover gift.

This game is very friendly to newcomers. There’s a big limited time/special event gacha element, but I think every limited edition character I’ve seen over the years has come back eventually.

### 1/5 — 太難過關

*2026-05-24, version 7.0.0*

這個遊戲設計就是想盡辦法不讓你過關

尤其是最近的新活動，
難到不可思議，光要過一關需要很多天的時間幾十條命才夠用。

### 1/5 — The game was freeze when it’s loading

*2025-08-23, version 6.44.0*

It has been 2 days after the update.  The game was freeze when it’s loading.  Please fix!

### 1/5 — アプリ誕生当時からやっています！

*2025-05-21*

こんにちは( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
子供の私はこのアプリが誕生してから7年やっています。私は小1からやっており、今もやっています。とても楽しい頭脳ゲームとなっています。エリアごとに食べ物が違ってくるのも良いと思いました。とてもかわいいすみすみやエリアで満足しています。
良い点と悪い点を言います

ーーーーーーーーーーーー

・良い点

1.すみっコぐらしがかわいい
ガチャを引いたり、発動する時にかわいいアニメーションがあります。エリアの感じも美味しそうでいいと思います

2.クリア出来た時の達成感
難しいステージをクリア出来たり、エリア全体をクリア出来た時や、久々に旗を立てれた時の達成感が半端ないです

3.クローバー
連続でクリア出来た時や、1回でもクリア出来た時、クローバーが減らないところです

4.コイン
意外に結構貯まります
ほんの少しの貯金で3万程度は溜まります

5.定期的にイベントがやってくる
難しいけれど、ご褒美が最高なこともあります。やってみてください

ーーーーーーーーーーー

・悪い点

1.むずかしいステージのところ
運営はちゃんと、難しいステージの時には「むずかしいよ！」と警告してくれていますが、警告無しの普通のステージの時ですら何度やっても出来ないことがあります。明らかに難しいのに警告してくれないのはどうしてでしょうか…？

2.ルビーが貯まらない
やっと貰えた！と思っても10個や5個、3個で、貰える頻度も少ないと言えます。「ステージクリア出来なかった…」←「10ルビーで5バルーンか…」←「足りないや」って毎回あきらめて、もう一度1からやっています。

3.ガチャに6000円は高すぎる
1度のすみすみのガチャに6000円使うのは高すぎると思います。攻めても3000円くらいまでに金額減らしてください。あとすみっコのレベルアップに1万も3万もかけていられません。

ーーーーーーーーーーーー

【最後に】
・このゲームに向いている人

・諦めない人
・飽き性では無い人
・継続できる人
・順位やスピード勝負好まない人
・戦略や作戦を立てて、無計画にやらない人
・クリア出来なくても一生諦めない人

課金は別に自由ですが
私は小1でもステージ270くらいまで行けました！
当時の上限のステージは300までだったので、だいぶ行けた方です！その時4年くらいやってました！ですが、飽きてアプリを消してしまい、4年後に再びアプリを入れたら、なんと14日で308ステージ行けました！！笑笑

総合的に見れば難しいけど
楽しい、課金ゲーではある

なので☆3にしました！！

### 1/5 — haven’t been able to open the app in two days

*2024-12-03, version 6.29.0*

the app was working great but i have not been able to get it to work for two days. i tried to submit a support ticket and the website does not work.

### 1/5 — Pay to win

*2024-06-03*

em determinado momento as fases te obrigam a pagar para passar e se torna impossível conseguir avançar sem gastar com poderes. perdeu a graça.

### 1/5 — 限度を考えろ

*2024-02-16, version 6.15.0*

何歳までをターゲットとしてゲームを作っているのか知らんが、あまりにも難易度が高いステージが多すぎる、これを子供がクリア出来る想定で作っているのだとすれば制作陣総出で辞任した方がいい

### 1/5 — 面倒

*2024-01-21, version 6.13.0*

アップデート多すぎ

### 1/5 — アイテムの受け取り面倒

*2023-12-01, version 6.11.0*

アイテムを受け取っても、ボックスに入るだけ。ボックスを開いて受け取らなければならず二度手間。

### 1/5 — not working

*2023-09-27, version 6.9.0*

ever since this last update the game doesn't load past the main screen. the moment the screen moves to the new event (which happens automatically and it's skippable) everything freezes and i'm unable to do anything but force closing the app. terrible

### 1/5 — 信箱收到的道具沒有更新到關卡裡

*2023-09-03, version 6.7.0*

用種子升級換來的道具，到關卡裡卻沒有收到，已經好幾次都是如此。
