### 1/5 — Ugh!!

*2026-09-05*

Tomatoes and peppers are FRUITS NOT VEGETABLES! If you want an easy way to remember? Does it have seeds? Then it’s a fruit. Berries are technically berries and not fruit but count as fruits. Peppers. Tomatoes. Cucumbers, therefore pickles, are fruits. Jalapeños, Carolina Reapers, bell peppers, pumpkins, squash, zucchini, etc… FRUITS!! And the ads? If I have to get hit with an ad during freaking game, I’ll just uninstall the game.

I have since taken my 4 star review down to a 1 star. You people are so desperate for money from advertising that you’re having ads pop in every 30-45 seconds and they’re rarely the ones that pop up and then gone 2 seconds later. Bye!

### 5/5 — Éducatif tout en s’amusant

*2026-09-04*

Simplement amusant instructif et très intéressant

### 1/5 — Nope,

*2026-08-27*

Yes, too many ads, they’re every 5-10 moves. If the amount of moves weren’t so limited, I might put up with it, but it’s not a relaxing, enjoyable game.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for playing. We hear you about ads every few moves and limited moves making it stressful. We are reviewing ad frequency and level balance to make things feel more relaxed.

### 1/5 — Too Many Ads. Apathetic Devs

*2026-08-23*

It takes only a couple minutes playing this ‘game’ to understand why literally everyone is saying the same thing: too many ads. It’s genuinely ridiculous. I got four ads before completing two levels. Long, unskippable ads. 
To make things worse, dev responses to poor ratings are the exact same: “we’re so sorry this is happening. Contact us privately via email”. That’s not actual support, that’s an attempt to shut down complaints about real, consistent issues without actually resolving anything.

It’s a typical, sad and kind of pathetic attempt to make themselves appear caring and helpful, when in reality they simply prioritize continued ad revenue over ANYONES game experience. 

Genuinely a 1/10 game. Save yourself the effort, don’t download.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for giving the game a try and for being so honest. We hear your concerns about frequent, long ads and repeated replies, and we are reviewing both our ad balance and how we communicate so feedback leads to real improvements.

### 1/5 — Feels like a trap…

*2026-08-18*

Most levels don’t allow more than a few “mistakes” (no place to immediately sort a card), especially in higher levels (90+), ridding myself of the constant forced ads cost $9.99, and everything in game costs 1500 gold regardless of what you’re buying. So most every game I have to devote at least 3 minutes to watching ads just to get the +10 moves to finish the level, which is frequently not enough… 

I would say that I need to reshuffle the cards and that levels are still beatable if you get the right hand from the start, but usually when I restart and it’s
not a result of losing a life, it “shuffles” the cards into their exact first order… On top of that, there’s always these two mini games that trigger at the end of any level and tell me that I can earn more by “digging”, then informed me that I have no “shovels” and must play to get more… it’s never there by the time I finish the game it hand me, well that game takes two minutes or eight. 

If you’re going to play, don’t buy anything.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the detailed feedback. We understand the strict moves, repeated shuffles, mini games, and heavy ad use feel unfair. We are reviewing level design, pricing, and ads to make progress feel more rewarding.

### 3/5 — 行動数不足

*2026-08-16*

行動数が絶対に不足するように設定してあるカスレベルがいくつかある

**Developer response:** 手が不十分だと思われる場合、これらのレベルが不公平に感じられることは理解しています。一部のレベルは扱いが難しく、特定のアクション順序が必要になる場合があります。あなたのフィードバックは、今後のレベルデザインの改善に役立ちます。

### 1/5 — Spent more time watching adds than playing

*2026-08-15, version 1.0.19*

Made it to level 15 and got about two ads in the middle of each level. Gameplay is fine but if you love some AI garbage getting consistently shoved down your throat more than playing solitaire this is the game for you.

### 5/5 — В целом хорошая игра, ненавязчивая

*2026-08-13*

По сравнению с похожими приложениями выбрала это. Реклама есть, но её не так много. Ходов хватает, это радует!

**Developer response:** Благодарим вас за выбор нашей игры среди аналогичных приложений и за оценку в 5 звезд! 🌟 Мы рады, что вы считаете, что реклама разумна: доходы от рекламы помогают нам сохранять игру бесплатной и улучшать ее. Наслаждайтесь своими движениями и получайте удовольствие! 🎮🙌

### 3/5 — Keeps freezing

*2026-08-13*

I actually really love this game, and would give it 5 stars-if I could actually play it. Every single time I open the game, I can only play for a minute or two and the game completely freezes. Please fix! I don’t want to have to uninstall!

### 5/5 — Fun and Challenging

*2026-08-09, version 1.0.18*

I can’t stop plying this game!
