### 4/5 — Stage 467

*2020-04-19*

Why won’t it let me switch back and forth between filling in a space and Xiong it out

### 5/5 — Please UPDATE!!!

*2019-12-09*

Need more game to play. At the end!

**Developer response:** Sorry for the delayed update. We will update new episode next month. Thank you for waiting.

### 4/5 — End of story

*2019-11-13*

I guess there will no updates anymore, haven’t seen anything in months, ry to delete

**Developer response:** Sorry for the delayed update. We will update new episode next month. Thank you for waiting.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2019-04-16, version 1.0.25*

Facebook friends don’t show up.  Can’t get help to fix it anywhere.  Going to delete this, persevered for a little while but now I’m done.

### 3/5 — Help

*2019-04-06*

I’ve completed quests but it’s not giving me the reward. Under the quest screen it’s showing I need to complete a level but on the map I have already completed it.

**Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. We will thoroughly check the quest reward system. Thank you for your patience.

### 2/5 — Not logical solutions

*2019-02-14*

I like the UI but the others become unsolvable without a little guessing.

I love picture crosses but I assumed they could all be solved with logic. Not this one.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review. We will do out best to provide the better service. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Fun game, one flaw

*2018-11-19*

This is enjoyable, but the penalty for wrong guesses is very frustrating. Most of us are probably playing on our phone, which makes the blocks tiny. Three fat finger fumbles, and you’re out. It’s very easy to do that, to hit the wrong area. It would be great to be able to turn that “out of paint” feature off.

**Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. When you play over 10x10, you can use zoom-in/out function. I wish this function will be helpful to play our game. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Eigentlich super Spiel....

*2018-10-25, version 1.0.22*

.....aber seit dem letzten Update verliert das Spiel ständig die Verbindung. Obwohl das Internet da ist. Das ist sehr frustrierend....

### 1/5 — Lange Ladezeit

*2018-08-02, version 1.0.20*

Die Spielfreude geht verloren, weil es einfach ewig dauert, bis nach dem Klick geladen wurde.

### 3/5 — More Than One Solution

*2018-07-05, version 1.0.19*

Great game but I find that MANY puzzles have more than one possible solution. Kind of frustrating getting to the end of a big puzzle only to be left with two possible correct solutions. Of course the one I pick is always deemed incorrect and I have to start the entire puzzle over again. Grrrrrrr....
