### 5/5 — HEY!

*2026-02-12*

The + means it’s ad free

### 5/5 — Calling concentration

*2026-02-03, version 3.3*

Really love the aesthetic of this game and the simplicity of it. Can play for hours

### 4/5 — Elle’s first game appearance

*2026-01-24*

At first I saw it looked pretty cool because I thought it would be a good way for me to get better at math so I got it well not exactly because right now I’m waiting for it to load and it is taking so long😡😤I said I just wanted it to be done and give y’all a one star but I wanted to be nice to y’all so I gave y’all a four star rate but it downloaded on my sister’s computer so she let me play on it and I did not even here my mom say we were going to have pizza and I sat there playing threes for hours literally hours I hope y’all love this game in return

### 5/5 — Fajne

*2026-01-13, version 3.3*

Fajna gra jak się wszystkie znudzą można nią grać

### 1/5 — Game dynamics guarantee you will lose

*2026-01-09, version 3.3*

Very fun at first, but get too far into it, and you will quickly realize that you are completely at the mercy of a very aggressive dynamic that feeds you unplayable tiles until you lose. Ultimately an incredibly frustrating game.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-01-02*

I’ve seen a lot of bad reviews for this game, but honestly, it’s very fun. While the voices are weird, they can easily be turned off. The game is cozy, and fun for just chilling out. While most people claim that it drains battery quickly, I have never had that problem. It does give a lot of 1’s and 2’s sequentially, but it should always be possible to continue. The soundtrack is very calming and the graphics are beautiful. While challenging, it is not stressing or pressuring. Thank You for the great game.

### 1/5 — RNG tester

*2025-12-21*

At the end of the day this is a game of chance with almost no strategy, if you can get above 1300 buy a lottery ticket

### 3/5 — Voices get irritating fast

*2025-11-30*

At first, the little voices were kind of fun and quirky. Overtime I’ve started to get kind of sick of them, especially the one that tells you to “hurry up” if you stop to think for a few seconds. it seems super inappropriate to add something that pushy to a game where you might wanna think.

### 1/5 — Bugged

*2025-11-22, version 3.3*

Since last time I played it went from hero to zero. Numbers don’t get combined like they should especially 1’s and 2’s. Probably a bug somewhere.

### 5/5 — 겁나 재밌는데

*2025-11-12*

인간적으로 빨간색 블록이 5~6게 연속으로 나오고 파란색 그 다음 13턴동안 안나오는거 실화냐?
