Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Dear game developer, we are an old player for more than ten years. We have liked the background music of this game since we were a child. But now the music in the game does not have the previous saxophone, but the saxophone is the essence of background music and the essence of the game. We really hope to change the background music to the original version with saxophone. Thank you.
Ive had this game we think since it came out! We still play it! Its one of the best games Ive played.
Ive been playing this game since 2012. Then we stopped… They made an update changed the music and we never played it again. Now its back with its original music and Im so excited. Its such a relaxing puzzling game.
Do not waste your money on the in-app purchases. You wont get the hints.
This game overall is incredibly addicting and fun. Ive gotten to Australia, but thats where the fun ends. The puzzles are excruciatingly hard and it kills the fun out of it. Obviously they should be hard, because its the last continent, but we dont want to sit in a frustrated state, and we dont want to wait a week+ to get a hint. So we go somewhere else.
One of the best puzzle games that we've played in our life.
Do NOT lay attention to the salty people who lost their progress and/or are stuck and venting their frustrations with the game. We just beat this game, so rest assured, it's solvable. The whiners are simply quitters. Persevere enough and you'll also complete it.
The current version is our first experience with this game, so no process was lost. However, we are now stuck on Seattle level 12 and no more hints available. Kind of frustrating. Up until now, we were really enjoying the game though.
A very old app that's ok to play IF you aren't listening to music. This app reduces the volume of your playback more than 30% and gives the music a vocally-muted sound quality (with the apps sound and sfx on off. WHO DOES THIS.
Iam at level 24 in Miami and we are 85% sure it's a unsolvable level. We ran out of hints so now we're just stuck. Sorta ruined the game for us.
We loved this game, and played all the time. The new update lost all our progress, and to be honest we're really not fond of any of the new updates and features of the game. Lost its luster for us, we probably won't continue playing.
New ownership screwed up the game, you lose all progress. Mechanics and animation are different, not the same.
We love this game but when our progress got erased, we erased the whole game.
Played for a long time, suddenly all progress lost. We could look for ways to recover what's gone but it was easier to just delete it. Which you shroud do.
New owner should have found a way to keep users' progress in the game. We used to like this game, but not enough to do all those levels again. Deleted.
This game is better than dead cow.
The first levels are quite simple, but the game gets really hard down the road.
Interesting logic game in nice design.
Once you get the hang of it you can't stop.
We give it three stars for the merit of the game as it was before the update, and in the hopes it is fixed. After the recent change in ownership and subsequent "art improvements" we find that it runs much slower and less smoothly, and in addition has less attractive visuals. It's a good game (4-5 stars) but the update has taken it down to 2-3.
We hate the new format from the new owner. It's too slow, and it tells you if you've lost even before you could figure that out on your own. We'd rather come to that conclusion ourselves through trial and error if need be. Older format was much better. Very disappointed.
Game is extremely slow now, and we lost all of our progress. DO NOT UPDATE.
Fun and very challenging game.It will seem easy at first then becomes very difficult.Addictive.
It's a little challenging but easy.
This game is so awesome we love it so much.
The best and is reallly really fun whoever made this game is a genius.
This game gets better and better.
This is a great game! It's really fun and NO time pressure. Pick it up as you want, take as long as you like. Challenging and a great stress relief. Only one problem: turning the sound off still makes little tinny "tick" sounds when you undo. We HATE this. If this game weren't so amazing otherwise, we would dump it. But it is so much fun that we still play. PLEASE dev team, turn OFF the "back" or "undo" sounds. Our wife simply won't play it because of this and we both love this kind of game. Sound off should mean ALL sounds off. Otherwise, a really neat, challenging and immersive game. We have to look at the time to make sure we don't spend too much time on it.
Irritating but we love playing it.
Simple, yet challenging! Do wish it would mute all sounds.
There is no other way to report a problem. We just updated to the latest version and the icon no longer has a graphic. It is now a blank white box. On ios6.
Simple yet challenging! Oh and did we mention, addicting?! BUT PLEASE GET RID OF THE ADS! And particularly the ones advertising women, we find them to be offensive.
Especially if you like puzzle games, this one is fun with a good amount of challenge so you don't just breeze through it. It gets hard quickly though and the color scheme is simply hideous. Overall, definitely a good game.
This game is a challeng but it's fun also we think if you love a challenge this is your game.
Not too shabby of a game. Pretty fun.
Not really good but not really bad either. If your the problem solver type you will proly like it.
Some levels are so easy but some are harder than we think and it made us brainstorm too much.
Ok game but that interesting/fun.
The original game is awesome. The new developer is just trying to make a few bucks with gui improvements. Don't upgrade.
The game is great! Will not change to 5 stars unless/until offensive ads are removed. Will not allow our children to play. Will remove it completely if this does not change in a reasonable amount of time. Ads in general are fine- but PORN.
If you're going to force us to pay for hints, then you can kiss our fcking ss.
We downloaded this app for our son and we noticed banner ads popped up advertising an ESCORT SERVICE!!!!!!!! Really?!?!? This is game is not for young kids. Deleting immediately.
Mute should mute all sounds. We still get click sounds.
We made a mistake purchasing this game and now we still have to see ads. They should have given an option to remove ads by restoring purchases. 1 pt.
Loved it before the ads were added. Draws too much attention; can't relax anymore.
This game gets worst by the minute.
This is the stupidist game ever.
This game is intertaining and fun.
Awsome game!!! We mean really awsome.
Great Game!!! Get it !!!!! Caution:Very Addictive.
