Matching game instead of puzzle

This game is so frustrating! I only want to progress in the story but I have to play 9 matching levels to play one part of the story. The puzzles are also mostly impossible without watching advertisements. They hide tiles behind others so you have to guess what comes next. Cash grab game

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the balance of story and matching levels feels frustrating, and that some puzzles seem unfair without ads. We understand you’d prefer more story and clearer, more solvable puzzles. We’ll share your comments with the team as they review pacing and level design. Please check for updates. If the issue persists, please send a video to: cskh@xgamevn.com

Match 3? Did I download the right game?

Why do I have to suddenly play 3+ levels of tile matching to continue the story? And the story is different than it was different than in tricky story 2. Plus the number of ads is ridiculous. I enjoy the puzzles in the story, and was intrigued by the ceccillia viremont story, I finished it in tricky story 2, but I don’t like the tile matching addition, I don’t have the patience to continue this new version if I have to continue the match 3 every level

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re sorry the tile-matching levels and changes to Cecilia’s story weren’t what you expected, and understand how frustrating that makes continuing. We’ll share your feedback on the story flow and match-3 requirement with the team, and review your comments about ad frequency as we work to improve the game.

El porque

Me gusta lo único que no me gusta son los juegos de Piesas que no me gusta porque no tiene nada que ver con el juego original

Get rid of tiles

When playing tricky story 2 it was entertaining but now with the tiles it feels like to much. with one item I had to achieve making me do 3 levels of tiles then it was 2 requiring me to do six levels now it’s 3 requiring me to do nine this is insane. I just wanna know what happens especially because I had already played tricky story 2 only to realize it stopped and was moved to another game thinking it would be the same I was wrong. Idk who had the idea of the tiles but it should not be a feature added, on top of that we have to do the actual story quest like what! It’s more difficult then it needs to be especially if the task it just to get her dressed for her birthday. Cause why do I need to do 9 tile levels just to do another challenge in finding her outfit and accessories? I give it a 2 out of 5 literally because of the tiles. GET RID OF THEM PLEASEEEEE. 😭😭

Прикольная игра но много рекламы и на 42 уровне не заходиться в раунд ,я скачивала эту игру только вторую часть и там тоже затупило на каком то уровне

Передадим информацию команде и примем к сведению ваши замечания о рекламе. Проверьте, установлена ли последняя версия. Если проблема останется, отправьте описание и скриншот или видео на cskh@xgamevn.com.

New gameplay and ads

Too many ads and the fake mahjong gameplay in between levels is really annoying. I used to love this series.

Головоломки

Чем больше уровень тем больше этих головоломок ( сначала один предмет соберите ,далее 2,3 потом будет 4-5это уже не интересно .tricky story 2 была лучше (либо верните как было либо уберите больше количество головоломок смысл игры теряется из за них и становится скучно играть

Response from developer

Спасибо, что поделились мнением. Нам жаль, что рост числа головоломок снижает интерес к игре и что вам больше нравился формат Tricky Story 2. Понимаем предложение сократить их количество или вернуть прежний формат и передадим отзыв команде при планировании обновлений. Благодарим, что помогаете нам становиться лучше!

The merge minigame

I love this game i really do! Im just not a huge fan of the new minigame added .. I was enjoying this storytime so pleasee make the merge thing optional or get rid of it 🙏 I have to restart all over again so id appreciate if you got rid of it so i can speedrun back to where i was from before.

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and enjoying the story! We’re sorry the new merge minigame isn’t a good fit and restarting affected your progress. We understand you’d prefer to enjoy the story without it. We’ll pass your suggestion to make it optional along to the team for consideration. We appreciate your patience and feedback. Please check for updates. If the issue persists, please send a video to: cskh@xgamevn.com

Less Mini-Games, More Story, Please!

First of all, I have lot to say,the story you developed is absolutely amazing! It genuinely got me so excited, and I can confidently say that The Villain’s Awakening is my favorite story in Tricky Story 3, or even the best one in the entire series, in my opinion. However, there are a few negative aspects that I really want to point out.

Let me start with the main issue. In Tricky Story 2, you introduced this story and left it without a proper ending, just giving us a “To Be Continued.” When some players raised concerns about it, you completely changed half of the story, and we had to play through it all over again. Even after that, the story was still left unfinished. You kept us curious by releasing a few more parts, only to eventually shift the story to another game. Honestly, that was disappointing. I understand that developing a game takes time, and I was willing to be patient, but leaving a story unfinished like that is frustrating, especially when you have already made players so invested in it.

Now, coming to Tricky Story 3, I was fine with the new direction at first. But the thing that irritates me the most is the repeated levels and mini-games. Having to replay levels again and again can get really boring, but the worst part is the mini-games. You made us so curious about the actual story that we kept playing to discover what happens next, yet the excessive mini-games completely ruined the experience for me. They interrupt the storyline and make players lose interest.

For example, if there are two items to collect in a level, and each item requires completing a separate mini-game, that means we have to play five mini-games just to progress through one level! Honestly, two mini-games for two items would be more than enough. Having to complete all five for two items becomes repetitive, tiring, and frustrating. I feel like this is something many players might dislike, too.

I really hope you will consider this feedback in your future updates. Please reduce the number of mini-games so that players can enjoy the actual story without constantly getting interrupted. We play because we are interested in the plot and want to know what happens next, so please don’t make the process of discovering the story feel like a chore.

Despite all these negative points, the story itself is AMAZING, and I genuinely believe it has the potential to become one of the best stories in the game. I really hope you give it a satisfying and incredible ending this time.

And one more thing please don’t leave important plot points unexplained or reveal certain things without giving us the full context! I want to see this story reach its full potential. Please take my feedback into consideration in the next update. I’m genuinely excited to see how the story develops, and I hope you won’t disappoint us with the ending! ❤️

Mini games are awful

I like this game, it’s my favourite logic puzzle game, great stories since the first game, I’ve played them all. I hate this new tiles mini games though.

Used to be enjoyable

Having to do 10 levels of tile matching in between every single level is incredibly annoying and actually makes me want to get rid of the game entirely. It is also ridiculous that this is the 3rd time I redownloaded this game and had to start the levels from the start each time. It’s a shame because i’m invested in the story but the new format does a great job at turning away users rather than letting them enjoy the game.

So much ads bro like

Amazing Game! Obsessed but too many filler levels

I am totally in love with this game, the story line, and the whole concept but I hate how many of those matching games I have to do back to back I believe it’s like 10 and it really is just a drag like cmon why so many?! But if it were much less like 3 or something that’d be so much better and keep my attention span on the story line and the bigger games where we get to interact with the characters! If this was changed this would probably be the best mobile game I’ve ever played!! And yea otherwise I’m obsessed with this game love it and I play every day. I’m already on level 760+ and it’s only been like 2 weeks lol.. I know

This is a joke

U guys take us as a joke. There are no changes in the mini games at all. U yourself can see the rating for this game has gone so low from 4.6 to 3.7 it will go even down. This is soo annoying

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing your concerns. We’re sorry the mini-games haven’t felt fresh and updates haven’t met your expectations. We understand how disappointing it is to hope for meaningful changes. We’ll share your feedback with the team as they consider improvements. We appreciate your honesty and hope to provide a better experience.

Ads

Good plot but WAYY to much ads, can’t go 1 minute without needing to watch an ad

Mini matching games and story line.

The mini match making game we have to play are not fun. I would definitely much rather just to get rid of it entirely. As the part 1 and 2 of this game is much better. Tricky Story 3 is not much different to Tricky Story 2. As the story line is the exact same and i wish it was a carry on from Tricky Story 2, this one is just replaying everything that you play on Tricky Story 2. Too many ads as well.

Not impressed.

Remove the tile minigame

I played all 2 parts before this but doing that minigame after each level is annoying please remove it

Response from developer

We’ll share your suggestion with the team as they review future updates. We appreciate you letting us know how to make the game more enjoyable.

Annoying sub game

Omg I absolutely despise the sub games of matching tiles, like it was not in the old story so now why do we have to play 3 levels of matching tiles just to unlock and play the main story, it completely takes away from the point of the game and is so annoying, tricky story 1 and 2 were my favvvv I absolutely loved playing the 3rd story too until this new update I miss the old game without the sub games

Tile matching stages ruined the game.

I used to love this game, but shoehorning 9 levels of tile matching between every single scene completely ruined it. What made it unique is gonenow it’s just another generic puzzle game padded with repetitive filler. Extremely disappointed with this change

Не работает

Опять 42 уровень и все. Конец игре. Вы тут все обещаете разобраться? Безуспешно как вижу
