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.

Infinite

I love this game so much to where I no 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 than 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.

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.

Great

Great game super fun and is very addictive

Ads ruin game

Game is really fun but unskippable ads make for an unpleasant experience

No Option to Lifetime Purchase

Fun puzzles. I immediately looked for option to buy and remove ads but only monetization options are for monthly or annual subscription plans. Without lifetime purchase option I uninstalled instead. Would have enjoyed buying this game outright to support the developers, but I don’t need another monthly subscription fee in my life

Awesome

Great game, but you have to do a ton of levels to unlock all of the fun logic puzzles.

Best brain-training ever

Good job on the best brain-training games I've ever played. My favourites are Kings, Pipes, Shikaku, and Mambo. I was terrible when I started (I'm 70, and I struggled a bit), but I stuck at it. I look forward to these games every day. I love being able to play the different levels. It's nice to start off with something you have a fair chance of finishing, but then have to work a bit harder as you move through. Kings still stumps me sometimes. Thank goodness for the hints, and for the ego-boosting and encouraging in-game comments. My heartfelt thanks to your great team. x

Too much

Just wanted initial game this has too many varied things going on. Ads are major annoyance too!

Adds and games

Has adds a little frequently but great game overall

Havent seen a single ad!

This game is fun and relaxing with no time limits or stress and the best part about it is that there are NO ADS! At least i havent seen any so far

So far…

Meh.

Ripoff

Got this when it first came out and paid for the no Ad experience, but they keep changing all the games and setup, I now have to watch ads for everything

🧏‍♀️🤫

I love how there are many different puzzles than just the one shown on the add! Yes there are adds, but they do not show up after every level, making it still playable! I would recommend if you are looking for a game to keep you busy!

Amazing game; update ruined it

Lots of really fun puzzles. I love playing the water pipe one, especially the harder ones. But ever since they updated it that you can't choose which puzzle you play, I see no reason to continue with this app. Horrible change. Definitely 1 star until this is fixed.

Daily Puzzles Are Busted

Some of the daily puzzles (at least Shikaku and Snap) have been exactly the same every day for a while. It seems crazy for that to not be fixed after this amount of time.

Zen mode not available on iPad.

I paid for a Zen mode subscription and have been using it on my phone but decided to move it to my iPad however this does not work. When I try to restore purchase nothing happens and none of the games are unlocked. I feel as if I have wasted my £9.99! Can anyone from the developers help?

stop ai

it is so obvious that you make these damn puzzles with ai and it is infuriating.
