### 1/5 — Waste of time!

*2021-01-25, version 1.4.5*

Only got to the third level of classic then it would not let me continue if I clicked exit on the “subscribe to all games screen”. 

Game deleted, don’t waste your time!

### 2/5 — Bombards you with ads

*2021-01-25, version 1.4.5*

Literally after ever puzzle solved. It’s so obnoxious. Seems to be a well done game, but if you’re going to make it free, actually let people play for a bit. I deleted it, will fund something else less pushy.

Your load coding sucks as does the “game”.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2020-10-13, version 1.4.5*
