Fun game but can improve

This is a great app. I wish for two things

1) A way to get stats after each game completed and a profile review of average speed per game type

2) A mode to play specific games multiple times outside of the daily challenges. Like if I want to do mosaic one day or tower or anything else I can pick and choose and level up specifically for those modes

Nice

Just started no add yet and a good game I like it.

Infinite

I love this game so much to where I now want to get infinite. Only downside is that I can’t, I try to purchase it, yet it won’t let me. After pressing continue and selecting “individual”, I press continue once again, and then “start free trial”, but nothing happens. It shows a loading symbol for a split second, then goes away. No purchase, no free trial, nothing. Along side this, I feel that when I solve a puzzle, it lies about the percentage of people I’m faster than. Sometimes when I make an extremely fast solve, it tells me I’m only faster than 89% of people. On average I usually can get about ~92% faster than most people, many times I’ve also gotten 99+% faster than others. I just wish it would tell the truth, or at least I could know whether or not it’s lying. I play this game everyday and grind levels, and sometimes when I get fast solves, I want to know how much faster I am compared to everyone else, but it doesn’t show me. I wish there was something where you could press a button to see it, or also have it show alongside the other messages. Another way to fix this problem, you can have a menu in which you can select which messages you get after each solve.
I love this game so much, but it has small things to work on, not with the levels, but with the layout.

Epic!

Tricky,but fun

$10 gone

Well I figured I'd try Zen, paid, and saw there is no access to anything but present day... okay I guess I'll upgrade to the full thing. Guess what? What I already spent is just gone, no credit toward upgrade. I just did it yesterday! $10 yesterday! So now $35 altogether to get the access I want/need to enjoy this game??

Great game ruined by broken hint system

Great game, but can’t get extra hints as link to the advert server is broken.

Endless ADDs

Game is interesting but sometimes ADDs show up and there is no skip button. Its waits you to press anything, redirecting to store and after pressing go back to game it will wait your press anything again to do the same...

Nice

Game is easy

expert level

this app is great, love the new formatting for play and have been using for a long time. however, i’ve noticed on my app the shikaku and snap levels in expert are the same as the standard complexity? i initially thought this may be a glitch but i redownloaded the app and it’s still simple. wondering if this may be fixable? not really a big issue!

Almanac

Just got this app. I liked the games I’ve seen so far. They are challenging and interesting. But come on. I don’t need to watch a disembodied hand solve a crossword puzzle for two minutes to know if I want to get the app. In fact, I’m deleting yours because of it. I know ads are necessary, but I think people can tell in 20 seconds whether or not they are interested.

Fun!

It’s really cool how all the puzzle make you think!

Mambo

Loving this game and I play it daily, but I especially love the Mambo game. Please make a stand alone Mambo app, there doesn’t seem to be anything like it!

Mosaic

this game is very very fun but i feel like its impossible to finish the Mosaic tutorial because it isn’t possible to beat that make all colors the same on only two moves. but that’s all.

Worth ad free

Enjoyable offline without the ads. One time payment is worth it. Don't know about the subscription though.

They lied. It has ads

Great game but I only downloaded it because it said it had zero ads. Total lie

Atrocious Dev Behavior

I’ve reached the point where I’m now absolutely appalled by the developers of this game. They started by changing the UI and features unnecessarily. The most significant being the removal of the leaderboard, where you could see what percentage of all players you performed better than. In their WhatsApp community, there’s a group that discusses scores and plays competitively. Honestly, the most dedicated and skilled users of the app. A conversation was had in this group discussing how we’re disappointed by the loss of the leaderboard feature. Some players mentioned that they still had the feature because they turned off automatic updates. And what do the devs do? They remove the ability for the old users of the app, literally the next day. How can you blatantly oppose the feedback of your most loyal users, and in such a brutal manner? I used to love this game. The devs made me hate it. I’ll continue to hate it,
will not re-download, and will spread the word of how terrible the game and its devs are until things are fixed. But at this point, I have almost zero hope that they’d ever fix it. Genuinely a tragedy.

Turuu

Nice game

Deeply disappointed by new update!

Why change what isn’t broken?? The old version of the app was wonderful. Now it’s impossible to choose what game you want because they locked it behind a paywall, which was one of my favorite things about this app. You can’t choose the levels anymore either, so you’re stuck at very easy levels until you can rebuild all your progress which takes forever. Disappointed is an understatement and I will be finding something else to use instead. Don’t fix what ain’t broken and frustrate your entire audience. The app was perfect before.

Fun at first, then disappointing

Not sure what happened with the last update, but it used to be that you could pick a level of difficulty and play the various games at that level. Now they all seem to be at the same mediocre level. Some are claimed to be “hard” (e.g., Hard Tower, Hard Sets), but in actuality they are no more difficult than any that are not labeled as “hard.” The puzzles are too easy and so are boring. Shame.
