### 1/5 — Advertisement Bug

*2026-07-30*

The Ads that are being displayed do not present the feature to close the AD and return to the game. 

Can this please be addressed. 

Thank you!

### 1/5 — Too many advertisements

*2026-05-18*

too many advertisements

### 2/5 — too easy

*2026-05-15*

computer doesn’t even block the basic moves. won the first three games easily and promptly deleted the app :(

### 4/5 — Retro

*2026-05-14*

Awesome Game 👍…

### 5/5 — Spaßfaktor

*2026-05-05*

Albern, egal wie, du kannst nicht verlieren. Der Programmierer hat alles dafür getan , dass der Spieler nicht verlieren kann. Sollte der Computer mal ausnahmsweise sehr gut dastehen, öffnet er mit einem sinnlosen Zug den Weg zum Sieg.

### 4/5 — Pretty good, some gripes

*2026-04-01*

It’s a fun way to pass the time, however, any time I trap the AI (make it so they cannot move) the game crashes. It used to count it as a win, now it starts the whole game over…

### 5/5 — Sprooze goose
