### 1/5 — Ads suck

*2026-07-02*

Ads suck

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, and sorry the ads got in your way. I make sure ads don’t interrupt gameplay.

To keep developing and improving the game, I do need to include some ads. I try my best to keep the number of ads as low as possible, but finding the right balance between a good player experience and supporting ongoing development is always a challenge.

If you’d prefer a completely ad-free experience, there’s a one-time purchase or subscription option in Settings that removes all ads. I’m always working to make the game even better. Thanks for your support and for playing!

### 3/5 — Decent but pricey

*2026-07-21*

Zig Zag app has the same puzzle mechanic with design elements that are as good, but it’s $4 to unlock the whole game, no subs. This one is fine, it’s just full of intrusive ads, and it costs a lot more to buy a sub for a year of play when you can get unlimited play for a lot less in competing apps. Look elsewhere for zip-puzzle related fun.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review — really appreciate the honest feedback! A couple of things I'd love for you to know: I offer clear difficulty tiers, so whether you're just here for a relaxing puzzle or looking for a real challenge, there's something built for you. I also update the app regularly, adding new content and improvements based on feedback just like this.

On ads — they're designed to never interrupt while you're mid-puzzle, so your flow stays uninterrupted. And the subscription is there if you ever want it, mainly for extra hints or a fully ad-free experience — but it's never forced on you. As an independent developer, I'm always working to strike the right balance so the game stays enjoyable and accessible for everyone. Thanks again for playing, and for helping make this better!
