### 4/5 — Update

*2025-10-10*

Ok. You updated today without giving us yarn pictures to sew. When is that happening?

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We’ve recently updated the game with fixes and improvements, so please make sure you’re on the latest version. Everything should now run smoothly — hope you enjoy the new update!

### 4/5 — Update

*2025-10-01*

This is a great game but needs a major update. The puzzles are now glitching and there’s nothing to sew. I will delete soon if not updated because you can’t play this game way

### 3/5 — Répétitif

*2025-09-17, version 4.3.1*

J’aime bcp ce jeu, le problème que ces tu arrive au niveau 100 ça se répète , c’est les mêmes niveaux que au début , je trouve ça dommage que ça monte pas en difficulté ou que ça change un peu quoi

### 4/5 — Needs more levels. Glitchy

*2025-08-21*

So I love this game and love that it lets you get a sneak peek of the next layer in the creation so you can plan ahead. 
That being said, I’ve now played through all available levels more than a few times and have yet to see new creations that would need built by the yarn collected. I have well over 3000 yarn collected and nothing to use them on. 
The daily levels also have been very glitchy as of late and nothing lines up where it aught to be.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We're happy to hear you're enjoying the game. The team is always working on adding new content and improving performance to make the experience smoother and more fun. We appreciate your support and patience as we continue to improve!

### 2/5 — Change it back!!

*2025-07-24*

I love this game and have played it a bunch until this recent update. You originally could see the next color under the current layer, so you could strategize, but since the latest update I can no longer do that, and it makes the game pure luck, and frustrating. Please change it back!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! The ability to press and hold to see the color underneath is still available — just be sure to hold a little longer. If it's still not working, feel free to contact us at support@virtualprojects.co

### 3/5 — Fun game

*2025-07-18*

It’s a really fun game but it’s a cash grab. They make it nearly impossible to beat some levels if you don’t spend real money. You only get 5 coins per completed level and everything costs 60 coins and up🙄 and when you buy extra boxes you don’t get to keep them you have to rebuy them every level. A fun game but also a cash grab. Fix these problems if I buy an extra boxes with my coins I should be able to keep it.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We're glad you're enjoying the game. Each level is uniquely designed, and features like extra boxes are part of the per-level challenge. You can also earn more coins as you beat harder levels. We appreciate your thoughts and hope you keep having fun!

### 3/5 — Money pit

*2025-07-09*

This is really a fun game but you’ll beat one level and then you get to the next level and it wants you to spend money to get past the level and any mobile game free or not. You shouldn’t have to pay to beat every other level on this game!!!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We're glad you're enjoying the game. All levels can be completed without spending money, though optional purchases and ads can help if you'd like a boost. We’re always working to improve the balance and appreciate you playing Thread Fever!

### 3/5 — Be careful

*2025-05-30, version 2.9.0*

Wow this is a good game however be careful when you go to buy the no ad for £8 you’re still served ads when you’re trying to get the items

### 3/5 — Freezes a lot

*2025-05-23*

Loved the game until it started freezing and wasting my lives on the same level. Tried for a couple days and the freezing keeps happening so I guess Thats the end of my use

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We have some good news — the latest version includes important improvements for a smoother experience. Make sure to update, and we hope you’ll continue enjoying Thread Fever!

### 2/5 — Says you lost when there are still moves to play

*2025-05-14, version 2.8.1*

It fail the level you are on if you use all your slots. Even if there is some else you can do. There might be the right color under another but if you have only one slot let you will still loose if you put the color on top in the last slot to use the color underneath. Seems silly. I have not lost until all slots are filled and there are no more moves.

### 3/5 — Level 29

*2025-05-12, version 2.8.1*

I can’t get passed this level at all it won’t let use the yellow on the feet and hands

### 3/5 — Lvl29glitch

*2025-05-11, version 2.8.0*

Was having fun playing the game until I got to lvl29 it won’t let me click the little yellow threads on its arms

### 3/5 — Broke

*2025-04-24, version 2.6.2*

I enjoyed this but level 121 won’t let me do anything

### 1/5 — Level 895 Stole All My Boosters

*2026-06-21*

This game is pretty fun - a little boring at times because it always does the same thing like doing the same color over and over and over until that color is finished. It’s also glitchy. I just tried to play level 895 and no matter what I clicked on, it pulled out blue thread even though there is zero blue thread in the whole puzzle. I used up dozens and dozens of magnets and other boosters trying to just get through the stupid level and even that didn’t work because eventually the magnets stopped pulling enough to fill the tray. So I had to close the game and I will be deleting the app because it is impossible to pass the level. Fix your game and replace all the boosters you stole from everyone!!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We’re sorry to hear about your experience. This definitely doesn’t sound as intended. The issue has been resolved in the latest update. Please contact us at support@virtualprojects.co with your details, and our team will be happy to investigate the issue and assist you further.

### 1/5 — R

*2026-05-28*

Cannot play each color isn’t not the right color it makes you lose every time you try to play

**Developer response:** Hello, R!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! ❤️ We identified the problem causing the colors to appear incorrectly and have already fixed it.

Please update to the latest version of the game, and everything should be back to normal. Thanks for your patience, and we hope you continue enjoying the game! 🧶✨

### 1/5 — Loved it but it’s broken

*2026-05-22*

It’s a great game and I enjoy it very much but level 671 is bugged or broken. The colors shown are not the actual colors so it’s a stab in the dark as to what is what. I tried closing and reopening, turning off my phone and restarting and then finally deleting it and reinstalling only to see all my progress reset back to 1. I can’t believe this and I had just paid $9.99 for the pass that now I can’t even restore that. I feel like I got ripped off and scammed.

**Developer response:** Hello, Sniper Cartman!

We're so sorry for the trouble this caused. 🙏🧶

The issue with Level 671 has already been fixed. For your lost progress, please reach out to us at support@virtualprojects.co

We'll do our best to help and find a solution for your Elite Pass as well.

Thank you for your patience and support!

UPDATE: THIS GAME MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT CERTAIN LEVELS IF YOU DO NOT SPEND MONEY. DO NOT DOWNLOAD

### 1/5 — Pub

*2025-07-22, version 4.0.0*

Beaucoup trop de pub

### 1/5 — Ad

*2025-05-26, version 2.9.0*

Always ad! Ad, ad, ad and again ad!!!

### 1/5 — Fix the game so you can move past level 3

*2025-02-06*

Can’t get past level 3. You clear everything but it still adds a red box for you to add more red rope/thread to. Kind of hard to do so when there is nothing left to add. You completely close out the game/app and redo the level and it’s still that one extra red box. Doesn’t matter how many times you play that level or close out the app it still gives you that one extra pointless red box. So you can’t move past level 3.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how frustrating it must be to get stuck on level 3, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We're actively investigating this issue to ensure a smoother gameplay experience. Your feedback helps us improve, and we appreciate your patience. Stay tuned for updates, and thank you for playing!

### 2/5 — Tons of ads!!

*2026-03-23*

There’s nothing unique about this game. And the ads are very long. Deleted it!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Ads help support the development of the game and keep it free to play, but we’re always working to find the right balance.

### 2/5 — Fun game/Currently broken

*2025-10-26*

I enjoy the game, but it crashes at the end of every level. So it records that it’s been beaten, but doesn’t award the threads for the design.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! The team will look into this issue. If the problem continues after updating to the latest version, please contact us at support@virtualprojects.co - so we can assist you further.

### 2/5 — Levels

*2025-10-22*

I did love this game and thought it was fantastic. Until I reached level 174 and it will not go any further. It says “coming soon“. Is this all the levels this game has? I’d love to know because I would love to continue playing, but at this point I can’t ☹️

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We’re so happy to hear you’ve enjoyed playing! New levels are already in development and will be added soon in upcoming updates. Stay tuned — there’s more fun on the way!

### 5/5 — Fun

*2025-02-15*

I think this game is really fun. I’m already hooked on it. The only thing wrong is after I completed level and all threads are gone there was a box left at the top and I couldn’t continue on to the next level. Once that is fixed I would play this game more.

Thank you for fixing this game. I enjoy playing this game.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2026-08-01*

Fun game.  Main pain point is if I’m playing and have a streak so I get the extra boxes.  If I pause and come back to it later, it resets and I lose it all.

### 4/5 — Level 480 doesn’t work!

*2026-06-01*

I love this game. But when I reach level 480 I have to delete and start over. Level 480 has the wrong colors. When you click one it comes up blue. Then there’s a layer of boxes in the back that won’t clear when you click them. Please fix.

**Developer response:** Hello Macapur!

Thank you for reporting this! 🧶❤️  We're happy to let you know that the issue with Level 480 has already been fixed. Please make sure you're playing on the latest version of the game. Thanks for your support and happy stitching! 😊

### 4/5 — Glitch in level 7460

*2026-05-24*

Great game lots of fun but there is an impassable glitch at level 7460 where the back panel will not unravel. Only half of the colors are true.

**Developer response:** Hello, Prettypawslv!

Thank you so much for reporting this! We found the issue with Level 7460 and have fixed the incorrect colors and the back panel problem. Please make sure you're updated to the latest version of the game.

### 4/5 — Fun game
