*2026-07-19*

C est bien mais je s sais je u vous d un moment on va bloquer

### 2/5 — I love it but

*2025-09-25, version 1.1.21*

I really do love this game. I like how you can pick your options for certain situations. But I got level 84 and now I can’t advance in the story I’ve tried to delete the app redownload it but it didn’t work. I hope you fix this.

### 4/5 — Помогите

*2025-09-12*

Как выйти из вечных уровней в переделку комнат ????

### 1/5 — An sich schönes Spiel

*2025-07-13*

Ich konnte nur die erste Episode Spielen… jetzt geht nicht weiter und finde das sehr schade. Bin dadurch gezwungen das Spiel zu löschen.

### 4/5 — 저만 오류가 뜨는건가요

*2025-04-24*

에피소드 1 완료하고 다음꺼 하고싶은데 다운로드중이라고만 뜨고 안되네요 퍼즐 레벨은 계속깨서 별은 80개나 모았는데 에피소드 진행이 안돼요..

### 1/5 — funktioniert nicht richtig

*2025-04-21*

Die App ist eigentlich gut und ich hätte auch gerne weiter gespielt, allerdings kann ich die 2. Episode nicht starten. Somit kann ich nicht mehr weiter spielen.

### 2/5 — Not letting me do stage 2: handy man

*2025-03-20, version 1.1.21*

It keeps saying -1/12 and the level screen is just a picture, it is not letting me do the quests. I’ve even deleted my account and the app and restarted but still is doing it

### 2/5 — Stuck in bug

*2025-03-05, version 1.1.21*

It’s sad, I really enjoy the game actually. But I can’t progress. I can’t play the levels but I can’t make any of the customization options. After beating the first episode, progress is stuck at -1/12 for episode 2 and I’ve tried the standard troubleshooting to fix it with nothing to work. Unfortunately, the design element is often what draws me to these match-3 games so I can’t personally look past this bug

### 3/5 — Stuck on a level

*2025-01-14, version 1.1.21*

I’m stuck on level 1301 , it’s been updated and it’s not letting me play the levels now, can you tell me why this is ?  I’m on episode 16 and it says progress -1/10 but not letting me play it?

### 2/5 — Bug Issue?

*2025-01-04, version 1.1.20*

I can play levels but I can’t play the episodes anymore. I don’t see the button to do tasks anymore
