### 1/5 — 광고 심함

*2026-08-22*

있는데 광고가 너무 심함

### 5/5 — 왜100레벨이끝..?

*2026-08-22*

100레벨끝내니까 바로 트리키투네여 더안주나요 ㅜㅜ 재밋엇는ㄷ

### 2/5 — ゲームは面白いです、ただ…

*2026-07-31*

下品だったり汚い描写が結構あります。ネタバレになるのと書くのもはばかられるので詳細は控えます。他の人が書いてるようにGが時々出てくるので、苦手な人はキツイと思います。
広告の間に家事などをするとはかどります。一回プレイしたら満足です。冒頭に挙げた点が気になりますが、ゲーム自体は面白いので星2で。

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-07-27*

Really good for ADHD. Very good challenges for the brain.

### 5/5 — I hate the ads for no reason 🥹❤️

*2026-06-06, version 1.1.6*

★★★★★

### 5/5 — 脳トレの楽しさを知りました。

*2026-06-02*

最初は家のiPadに入れたゲームなんですけど、スマホでTikTokを見てたらなんか流れてきて、そういえばiPadで昔やってたなぁと思って入れてみたんですけど。なんかなんて言えばいいんだろうなんか難しいところもあってなんかむかついちゃう時もあるんですけど。でもなんか楽しいやってて何か間違えちゃう時もあったり、なんか余裕って感じで何かできる時もあるので楽しいなぁって思います。

### 2/5 — bugバグ？

*2026-06-01*

LV72のイケメンになりたい。で長ズボンの服を選択しているのにその後全て空白の選択肢が出てくるだけで進めない。

ヒントを押してもこれだけ広告なしで直にヒントが即見られて、内容が「長ズボンを選択」だけ。

もう履いてるし、いくら履いてるズボンの色んな部位をタップしても何も起きなくて詰んだ。

あとクリア後とかやり直しとか、ヒント時以外の広告の流さはもっと短いといいな。

### 1/5 — Don’t get this game

*2026-05-23*

Genuinely this game has angered me on more than one occasion. I love puzzles but not only is this just a copy of brain test. The game functions like garbage. I know I’m being rude but you have a 117 second time limit which is fine for some level. But the find the doggo level is near impossible without a walkthrough because of how fast the time goes, everything lacking color and how busy the screen is that it strains the eyes. And lvl commemorative photo, you can’t figure out on your own and a walkthrough does nothing. And I’m not giving a game like this ad revenue. At least with Brain puzzle you could drag things around and eventually stumble upon the answer. I guess I could’ve finished if I watched a hint but i refuse to give this game as revenue. I’m sorry. 

I’d genuinely give this a lower score than a one based on how much it stressed me out, as a person who loves puzzle games like this usually

### 2/5 — Ggggg

*2026-05-14, version 1.1.6*

Kk,

Jk

### 2/5 — Adds

*2026-05-12, version 1.1.6*

There is way to many adds
