There’s an ad between boards, ads to unlock specialties, ads for a lot of things already. It’s overbearing. I would consider paying the $7.99 for no ads but the way the ads are everywhere just feels like overkill in order to get you to pay the $7.99 which feels manipulative. As a user, I don’t like it. ### 2/5 — ADS SCAM !!!! *2026-09-02, version 5.1* The game is good but they want you to rate the game before the ads start blowing up. After level 20 it starts showing a lot of adds. ### 3/5 — Fun, but seems like a scam *2026-09-01, version 5.1* The game is genuinely fun—I’m up to level 313—but my biggest issue is that some attempts feel literally impossible to win. There’s a big difference between a level being difficult and a level being unwinnable. Sometimes I’ll replay the same level several times and, no matter what moves I make, the colors I need simply aren’t available. Then suddenly I’ll try again, get the right colors, and beat the level easily. The board I’m on right now is a perfect example. You have to eliminate certain colors before reaching a conveyor belt, but eventually the only available colors are ones that haven’t appeared on the dragon yet. Meanwhile, the colors you actually need are stuck on the conveyor belt behind them. At that point, there’s no strategy or better move to make—you’re just stuck. That’s frustrating because I’d much rather lose because I made the wrong move. Give me a difficult puzzle that I have to figure out. Make me rethink my strategy. But don’t give me a board where the outcome feels predetermined and my only option is to fail and hit “try again.” Considering how heavily the game relies on ads, it’s hard not to wonder whether some levels are intentionally designed this way to create more failed attempts and more opportunities to show ads. I really enjoy the game, which is why I’ve made it to level 313. I just want the challenge to come from solving the puzzle—not from waiting until the game finally gives me a board that can actually be solved. ### 2/5 — Adds are excessive *2026-08-31, version 5.1* The amount of adds in the free version is excessive. I don’t want to watch 5+ minutes of adds per level. I deleted the game. ### 2/5 — great game destroyed by ads *2026-08-30, version 5.1* I downloaded this game because I saw the little orange cat who looked like my cat and so I wanted to play. It quickly became my favorite game, it’s a puzzle/brain teaser/challenge type of game which I love and I would play it to unwind instead of doomscrolling and the kitty was so cute. But soon it became unbearable to have to sit through so many ads. So I finally caved and I paid the $7.99 to have no ads. Except that didn’t even matter because in order to pass most of the levels and advance in the game at all you have to constantly unlock more things and so you have to watch ads anyway. Some of these ads are two minutes long. The other day I had to watch SEVEN ADS to get though one level. That is up to fourteen minutes of ads to play ONE level that would normally only take maybe three minutes to complete. That is absolutely insane and unacceptable especially when you paid money to not have to watch any. The coins are too expensive and you have to watch two minute ads of stupid AI games or fake money gambling apps and it’s just too much. The game has been rendered unplayable. And on top of everything they changed the kitten in the game for some reason and it looks stupid now like some AI slop. Please do something about this or I’m gonna have to say goodbye and delete this game it’s not fun anymore it’s become stressful and frustrating which is the opposite of what anyone would want out of a game. I’ve spent real money on this game just to be mad and disappointed. ### 2/5 — Unwinnable levels *2026-08-30, version 5.1* I'm certain that there are several levels that are intentionally unwinnable until you've reached a ridiculous number of ad views. Not just a few...HUNDREDS. And I'm not just "bad at this game." It's obvious from the way colors are released that you won't win the particular level. I used to love this game, but I'm out. ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-30, version 5.1* It’s all fine and dandy. A good way to waste time until after level 20 when there is an ad after every level or live lost. The ads take 4-6 clicks and waste almost as much time as the game play. ### 3/5 — Lentidão ao soltas as lãs *2026-08-29* Jogo mal otimizado, as lãs demoram a ir no dragão, mesmo estando bem a frente, oque impede ganhar o jogo devido a lentidão desnecessário. Fora isso, é um jogo bom, ótimo passa tempo. ### 1/5 — They lie about the ads! Only download if you’re prepared to spend 100 bucks a week to play! *2026-08-29, version 5.1* This game used to be great despite the fact that you had to watch ads in order to complete the levels! They used to glee somewhat give you bonuses that helped you along, even though you still had to watch ads to complete the levels. Now they’ve restructure you don’t get any of the daily bonuses. You’re watching five minutes of ads for one minute gameplay. I’ll be deleting this game. Only download this game if you’re prepared to spend 100 bucks a week to try and enjoy it. ### 1/5 — Way too many ads for this level of fun *2026-08-29, version 5.1* This game could be fun, but the sheer amount of ads to just vaguely function (and how long those ads are) mean you're watching ads for what feels like almost as long as you're ever actually playing the game. I realise the idea is to get the devs ad revenue/convince you to buy ad free, but if you barely get to play, you don't even know if it's fun enough to be worth the cost of ad free. Add to that that the graphics are sort of cute but also have that slightly uncanny valley quality that makes it feel like maybe GenAI was involved in the process somewhere and it leaves a bad taste. Overall it's not nearly enough fun or cute enough for the sheer volume of ads you have to sit through simply to try and play the game. I'm not spending a tenner in the vague hope it'll be more bearable without "forced" ads. ### 2/5 — Ads *2026-08-28, version 5.1* For a game that claims that don’t have ads they have an ad after every level. Honestly a waste of time ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-28, version 5.1* Levels are too difficult to finish them without watching ads and there are ads after every level. ### 1/5 — You’ll have to make in app purchases or use coins to beat levels *2026-08-27, version 5.1* There should be a way to beat each level without having to use coins or in app purchases. I got this app cause I thought that was what this was going to be but the last few levels were impossible to beat without using coins. I font like puzzle games that can’t be solved…. ### 1/5 — Не советую *2026-08-27* Может и была бы игра интересная, но столько рекламы отбивает желание напрочь. Удаляю, невозможно играть. Ни в одной игре столько рекламы не видела **Developer response:** Понимаем, как большое количество рекламы мешает игре и отбивает желание продолжать. Мы зафиксировали ваш отзыв и передали команде на оценку. Надеемся, что в будущем сможем подарить вам более комфортный игровой опыт. ### 1/5 — Реклама *2026-08-27* Рекламы много во всех приложениях, но вы всех переплюнули. Давайте, вы сделаете еще больше рекламы? Например за каждое нажатие на катушку ниток)))) Удачи вам! Но не от всей души **Developer response:** Понимаем ваше недовольство количеством рекламы — её действительно не должно быть настолько много. Мы зафиксировали отзыв и передали его команде на оценку. Надеемся, что в будущем сможем подарить вам более комфортный игровой опыт. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads ads & more ads *2026-09-02, version 5.1* I would love the game if it wasn’t 95 % ads 5% game. Never written a review in my life until now. Driven by desperation. Sooooo sad. Wanted to love the play but just not allowed to. ### 1/5 — Dark pattern tactics *2026-09-02, version 5.1* Played for awhile. It’s a great game if you have patience for all the ads everywhere. Game built on unethical dark pattern tactics, such as un-winnable maps unless you watch more ads or purchases perks, procedurally generated dragon that detects what is on the board and purposely puts the player in frustrating near-win situations to entice you to purchase more perks. Also, just noticed they tweaked the game so when you have two like colored spools of yarn it pulls from the last spool placed instead of the one that is the most full, which is how it used to play and made more sense. Game/company is really just out to force you to watch ads and spend money, game is enjoyable beyond those unethical tactics. ### 1/5 — Too many ads, too addictive, too unnecessarily difficult! *2026-09-02, version 5.1* Not fun to play at all ### 1/5 — Реклама *2026-09-01* Реклама рекламная и рекламой погоняет. ### 1/5 — Muito anúncio *2026-09-01* Muitos anúncios, anúncios mais de 1 minuto. Já está chato, vou parar de jogar! Não compensa esperar tempo todo o mesmo anúncio. ### 1/5 — Uggghh Ads! *2026-08-31, version 5.1* Too many ads! Too much time wasted! ### 1/5 — . *2026-08-31* Реклама после каждого уровня это перебор ### 1/5 — Too many ads! *2026-08-31, version 5.1* I paid to have the ads removed because there was an ad after every single level. At first there wasn’t. They wait for you to get hooked on the game before they bombard you with ads. There was so many that I went crazy and decided to pay the money to get rid of them. The problem is that every other level is too difficult to complete with what they give you and you have to watch sometimes 3 ads to get through the level. I kept playing for awhile and it was fun but honestly the ads completely ruined it for me. ### 1/5 — The game has ads despite saying it doesn’t. *2026-08-30, version 5.1* The ads and top reviews for the game say there are no in-game ads. These are lies. The game does have forced, full-screen ads, and the top in-app purchase is for ad removal. Ads are fine, but intentionally misleading users is an automatic one star. ### 1/5 — Ads - no Thank You *2026-08-30, version 5.1* There are WAY TOO MANY ADS.. it made me delete the game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So much fun *2026-09-03, version 5.1* Relax & Enjoy ### 5/5 — Любимая игра *2026-09-01* Отлично сделана игра, нравится👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Muy bueno *2026-08-31, version 5.1* Me relajo bastante ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-08-30, version 5.1* Very entertaining and encouraging ### 5/5 — So Fun!! *2026-08-27, version 5.1* This game is sooo fun!
