Community Insight:
We like that its a little bit challenging at times and you feel good once you complete a board.
We love the game itself BUT… We refuse to watch an ad literally after every game!! Uninstalled after 30 minutes.
Portrait orientation locked are inconvenient on larger devices. Failure of the app to register a double-tap counted as an error. Both of these are interface issues that should be addressed.
Sorry this isn't a game. This is energy systems and scams to "earn " free energy. Basically they want you waste your time not playing this game. We'll spend our money on a logic game that is actually a game. We only pay for games that win us over by being a good game and we refuse to support apps that annoy you into wanting to pay. It's not worth it. Don't waste your time with the explaination because we're not changing our review because you explain how IAP work. You also understand the risk of making an annoying game is one star reviews so take ours.
We literally cant stop playing, and unlike other puzzle games, the difficulty increasing as a perfect rate: enough to be challenging but not impossible! Love it! We only need help with one thing: What is tip #8 saying?? We dont understand the graphic or the text box, and we feel it may be hindering our experience! Still a great game please download.
This game is absolutely gorgeous in its gameplay and presentation. Our only complaints are that the music gets quite repetitive although good, and we have yet to understand fully what tip #8 actually means as it always seems to backfire whenever we use it within a puzzle. Keep up the great work devs.
We love this game but it recently says that we have to update to be able to play and when we go to the App Store it doesnt say there is an update? Its super cool otherwise.
This game has definite appeal and we almost get choked up sometimes watching the milestones of the character as they grow up. We are compelled to pay for the ad free version, but we feel conflicted. Even if we disable ads, we will still have to buy energy any time we want to play for more than an hour at a time. The business end of this app fees greedy – if we pay for it we should be able to play it as much as we want.
So we have trouble understanding tip #8. We saw it was addressed in a response to another review, but we have one question about that explanation. A2 A7 E2 E7 we understand that we know that A7 is not equal to A2, that A2 is not equal E2, but how do we know that E2 is not equal to E7?! It is not provided beforehand is it? Help us understand it please. We dont think we are missing something but we may as well be. Thanks for the game.
Cant open the application anymore. Keeps telling us we need to update the application even thought we have the most updated version.
Just downloaded this today and we couldnt even get into the app! We were blocked by an error message saying we were on an outdated version of the game and when it brought us back to the App Store it had no update, just an open button as if everything was fine! Im pretty upset we didnt even get to see the app.
The app requires us to update almost everyday, yet the problem with getting stuck with a blank page after winning persists.
This is a really fun and cute puzzle but the ads are excessive. We understand it helps keep the game free but having one before and after a puzzle seems like a lot. Also the energy to resume a puzzle is slightly frustrating. Especially if the game crashes and we go back to keep playing.
We updated our game, yet it still says we did not. We are unable to play at the moment. We still love the game, just this minor inconvenience is all we wanted to notify everyone.
We just recently downloaded the game and its great. We really like it and it helps us train our brain. But…. There are those tips (the rules) that stop you from doing anything else. It forces you to focus on that thing. We feel like maybe it should be minimized. There could be an exclamation point near the row or column to remind you that what you did there was breaking a rule. It really bothers us, especially in multiplayer because while Im trying to figure out that problem, our opponent is moving on. We dont think it needs to be prioritized, Im sure we can get used to it. Im sure it helps avoid extra problems in the end to solve, its just something that messes with us. The game is still amazing! Thanks~.
We really enjoy playing this game, and its amazing! The only thing we dont like is how Ill click out of the game for 2 seconds, then Ill have to pay more energy to continue the puzzle we were working on. Its soooo frustrating.
Had to write a review because we felt the need to "up vote" and agree with the sentiment that using energy to resume a level is pretty greedy and doesn't make any sense. (Also, we've read the developer's response to that concern in other reviews and it is not adequate.) Otherwise, it's a fun and challenging game.
We referred a friend and didnt get 500 coins as stated. Who do we contact for this error.
Edit* Okay. Im still at disagreement with having to use FULL energy again to resume a puzzle but you guys have won us over… Never have we experienced such detailed and sincere responses from a developer. Full 5 stars for you guys. Keep it up. You guys are gonna kill it. Edit thanks devs for responding. But the analogy with burning more calories when you resume the gym is a terrible one. A better one would be going to the movies. Or purchasing a movie online. In these cases, you dont repurchase the movie when you return to it… (for online movies you get at least 48 hours to resume without having to repay). Just think about how absurd it would be if you went to the movie theatre, use the bathroom, and had to repay full price because you left in the middle of it. Try to think about this from our perspective, not your we need ways for players to spend their premium currency. Also, please respond to this: What the hell does Tip 8 mean?? Ive read and read and read it over and over and still cant figure it out. Please reiterate this tip using either better terminology or with more examples.
We love this game. It makes us think and strategize and it has a nice story board of pictures that are very rewarding. The only downside would be the ads but theyre manageable.
What does it mean! Among any four squares that form a rectangle, if three pairs of squares are different to each other, then its easy to deduce that the last pair is also different. Seriously what does it mean.
We like the game but every time we try to do a daily tournament the app crashes.
If you want a game that is actually challenging, play any other puzzle game. The puzzles take a few seconds and then you have to watch a 30 second ad between each.
When we first downloaded this game a couple of days ago, it functioned great and we loved playing the challenge option against other players. But now, any time we try to play challenge mode, our game crashes. We still like the game, but we want to play the entire game again.
While it appears you get energy every ten minutes, in the 7 hours since we last played a level, only 5 energy has recharged. The limit to purchasing only 4 energy at a time seems odd, and the volume of ads can get frustrating. We dont mind ads since Im getting the game for free, but just reduce their frequency. The energy bug seems new as our energy seemed to be recharging properly yesterday.
We love this game. Its tricky and keeps us coming back. HOWEVER, we have so many issues with it. Whenever we try to search for a multiplayer game it crashes our game. The amount of energy needed is crazy, but further the TIME it takes to get energy back is insane. Like everyone else, we can not even begin to understand why you need to spend energy just to resume the puzzle. Especially when sometimes we get ads that are just black or dont play and the only thing we can do to get out is completely cancel the app. So many things! Please listen.
Fun concept. Im enjoying the game thoroughly. We dont enjoy our play time being locked behind the energy concept. Earn 1 energy every ten minutes and one level costs 5 energy. Its a nasty way to get people to fork over money. Only reason this is getting two stars.
Its a shame because the game itself is very fun, but the energy you have to use to play goes very quickly and takes for-ev-er to recharge. So you end up stuck not able to play. Would be a five star game to us if it werent for that.
Crashes every time we try to connect for a multiplayer game.
Dont force us to watch ads to keep playing. If you want to monetize your app, create compelling gameplay that makes us want to give you money. Dont punish us for not giving you money.
Fun game.only issue so far is when opponent disconnects you get a loss still.
Love the puzzle game but hate the glitches.
Ads, a little overkill. As far as costing energy to resume a puzzle when you exit the app, we think enough people have argued this point enough for you to actually take action. This is the first puzzle game Ive played where it costs energy to resume a puzzle. It makes no sense for us and for you as the developer. Why? Why charge energy to resume a puzzle? Youve told numerous people to suspend the game so it doesnt cost energy but you have told people why you do this. Answers please.
The puzzles are interesting if you can get to them. There is an ad that plays before each one that most dont close which allows you to get to the puzzle.
Spent all night playing, was all the way at the rank graduate with one more puzzle till next rank. Game crashed and we lost all our coins and our perfect Versus record. Game crashed again and we lost all our progress. It started the tutorial. We were logged in through game Center and Facebook, but apparently that doesnt do anything to save your game.
Love this game! Keeps our brain sharp every day.
Great game but The amount of ads is annoying.
We like this game. But youre going to have to figure out how to make these bigger puzzlesanything bigger than the smallest puzzle you haveto work with a smartphone screen. We dont have a stylus, and we dont intend to buy one, just to play this game, thanks. Also: There are too many ads. If you want to us to pay for this game, you might as well be honest and put a price tag on it. Theres no point in spamming us with ad after ad after ad. Your game isnt that precious. It isnt worth that kind of hassle.
We find this game to be very fun and a nice way to pass the time. The levels are very interesting and oftentimes tricky which is nice since many games like it become very easy after you get to know the ropes. We are just curious as to how you get alternate skins for the 1 and 0 blocks. Ive seen it in photos of the game but we dont know how to get to them, like the bird skins or whatnot. Id appreciate it if there was an easy way to find out.
The games Facebook login needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
Hello, Im not the type to right reviews, but we have seemed to complete all of the levels. We are quite addicted to the app and would kindly DEMAND more levels. Please and thanks.
The only part of this game that bothers us is the energy use problem. If you accidentally exit a puzzle while youre trying to solve it, in order to resume you have to pay the full energy cost again. At higher levels this gets to be a LOT, and will majorly cut down on the amount of time we can play. If its a 6×6 grid that costs 12 energy to play, we could accidentally use 24 energy for maybe 5 minutes of game play. As for the response telling us to suspend the app if we have to pause, sometimes our phone refreshes our apps in less than a minute. Ive switched apps to reply to a text message and come back to it having refreshed itself. For a 15 energy game, leaving the screen for 45 seconds cost us an hour of energy replenishment. That really doesnt seem fair. This is the only game Ive ever played thats had this aspect, and while the gym or movie comparisons devs have made in other reviews might seem to make sense to them, it doesnt make sense to us at all. If Im at the gym, chances are we have a membership and Im not paying per day to be there, or the facility is included with wherever we are. If Im at the movies, we dont have to repay when we go to the bathroom or go get snacks in the middle so long as we still have our ticket. And if we stay in the bathroom after the showing, we probably wont have to pay for a second ticket to see another show. Even if we go to a bar with a cover charge at the door, they give us a stamp or a bracelet so we can go back in without having to pay. We cant think of another scenario where Id be charged for a 45 second break or an accidental click when we try to change the audio settings and get confused between the exit and x buttons (which are also a bit confusing, honestly. Maybe change the exit button to say back to home or something?) Other than that we love this game.
This is a great game and we are constantly playing. The issue we have is the multiplayer quick match. We know there was a recent update to fix this but it is still not right. The ads before are never equal. By the time we get through the 2 or 3 ads to play, our opponent is already halfway done. How is this fair? We still love the game but we wish our score was actually accurate.
We used to love this game, its a great way to keep your brain active and its very satisfying to play. Except lately there has been an advertisement every time we play and right after we finish, so much so that we spent more time watching advertisements than we actually did playing and it became so quickly aggravating it didnt make the game worth it at all. We are very disappointed in this change and just see the app as a waste of time.
We've been absolutely obsessed with this game since we downloaded it and have since passed all the levels. We compete in the competitions every day. We wish there were more levels, like after you beat the game maybe there's puzzles unlocked of every difficulty? Also we wish we didn't have to pay energy for resuming a level! Maybe even like half of the original energy points to resume would be great. But we still play every day because it's our favorite.
We enjoy this game enough to pay to get rid of the adds. However we HATE the energy system to keep playing. Thats why 3 stars.
It drives us crazy that if you exit the app you need to repay energy to resume the same level. We left the app to check a text and we had to repay, this keeps happening and when the levels cost 20 energy each its bs that you have to keep repaying. The actual gameplay is great but if we cant play the game without staring at our phone nonstop until we solve the puzzle Im not sure its worth it, especially when the later puzzles cost lots of energy and can take a while to solve. EDIT The solution you provided is incorrect. The game makes us pay even if we dont swipe up the game to close it. If the game is supposed to work that way, it is not functioning correctly on our phone. That is not a working solution.
The ads dont bother us, but the energy restores so slowly, it is unplayable. If this aspect is reworked, we will start playing again, but for now, the game is pretty useless to us.
Ads are popping up every three minutes instead of nine minutes previously, as well as the decrease in energy we are allowed to obtain while away. Whenever we have a need to exit our current puzzle, it demands for the same amount of energy as when we first played. Not only that, however we cannot seem to find any semblance of a tile shop, as our tiles have returned to the number patterns we wished away. Answers to these issues would be greatly appreciated especially since no information can be found online to our knowledge.
We loved this game. We LOVED IT SOOOO MUCH. There are just soooooo many ads continuously playing, if we have to exit a level we have to use the same amount of energy we had to use to open it originally. OH and the ads dont relax us, they stress us out and make us not want to play it anymore. The energy also take FOREVER to add up and you can only have 30 max. Its so annoying when you get to the higher levels. NOW the energy levels dont rise when Im not in the app. Unbelievable is this to try to get people to spend money.
