Community Insight:
We LOVE this game BUT ADS TO MANY ADS.
We love the idea of guessing the word and if you have ads tern on airplane mode then you wont have any ads.great job.
You guys are great at making games that are really fun. This game is fun and challenging. We don't mind the adds and we think your games are underated. Please make more games and thank you.
Love it, love everything about it! Thank you for making this! We know like, EVERYONE says this but its kind of hard to play because there is literally an advertisement after every word we do, and we really dont want to pay. But still, we know you dont really have control over the ads so dont worry about it. Still we love this game, thanks so much for making it and God bless you.
We have played many games from ths company. They are funny andcawesom.
Making it 5 stars just so it shows up. We test and rate apps often and Ive never played a game with this bad of an ad situation. Ive seen level per ad games, but typically those games will have shorter ads and longer levels. This game has an ad between every single level Ive played so far, and we played plenty to make sure it was an ongoing issue. For the most part, Ive watched the same two ads over and over again and in the earlier levels, it takes about two seconds to figure out the level and then you watch a 15-30 second ad that youve already seen twenty times over the last twenty levels. You can pay to remove ads, but people dont want to play games they have to pay for. People want to pay for game they really want to play. Free games can generate plenty of in app purchases by simply not boring people to death. The reason this app gets deleted so early after being downloaded is because its a good idea, but its far too slow moving for people who want leisure fun. Not only the ads being an absolute pain, but the graphics between levels being slow moving and the turtle speed transfer between one level to another makes this game more waiting than it is thinking and playing. With this same game, but moving at something quicker than a snails pace, we might actually spend some money on hints or something along those lines. But we timed it and between levels we spent 3X as long waiting for the next one as we did completing each one. Its just not fun having to sit and hold your phone and stare at people telling you to download another app, an app that isnt even for a game. Id rather sit through a ten hour college lecture about the etiquette of where to place silverware on the dining table than ever play a game like this again.
We love this game sooooo much. The only bad part is its very glitchy, like the rest of the Brain Test games. But even though its super glitchy its totally worth it. However we just clicked to do the very hard level after level #244 (we always do the ad for the very hard ones) its never been a problem. But this time we get a blank screen. The background was there, but no pictures, and no spaces for letters. (we tried typing GLITCH, but nothing happened lol, anywayyyyy) we even got the hint. It came up completely blank. Nothing. The weirdest part is, at the top it says Hard Level 0. Sosecret bonus level, or super weird glitch? Please let us keep going, we love this game. Also we havent tried the 100 bulbs to skip itshould we.
We like the game, but after a while ,it loses the fun. We mean, dont get us wrong ,we love the game, but there are SO many ads that we feel like every 20 seconds there is an ad, and especially when you cannot solve a puzzle and you press the button that gives you 50 light bulbs and it wont work because we dont have any WIFI!! And we feel like that 50 light bulbs are just TOO much for a hint! And you only get ONE hint, and the EXTREME CHALLENGES is almost impossible to beat! Like, it only gives you 30 seconds to think of an answer and write it down before you dont get ANY stars, because its almost impossible to get any before time runs out its way too HARSH! We know we are being a little bit rude but we wouldnt have written a review if it hasnt said that you had to. Anyway, we love your games, Unico Studio! And please make more BRAIN TEST games, we cannot recommend them enough! And dont think that because we wrote this review is because we dont like your games. As we said, PLEASE make MORE.
This game gets what it deserves!!!! 1.)Too many ads!!!!! We get how you need ads so the game can still be a game. But dang that is too many. Are you sure you need that much money for a game. Or are you wasting it all on yourself. Fix it plz. Btw for readers there is an add after EVERY single level (not exaggerating) 2.) Jokes? We dont think so! Listen up there is supposed to be a joke after every level. Which we think there is nothing bad and love the idea. The jokes its like they arent even jokes. They are not funny as they should be. And we are being nice because we are saying funny not hilarious. Fix it plz. 3.) last but not least! The levels are so easy. We understand we just downloaded the game. But we have gotten pretty far and they are easy. And we have only gotten far so quick bc there really isnt much thinking to do. Fix it plz. Overall here we tried to be as nice as possible. If you read the way it was meant to be read with a nice voice and a nice tone. Youll understand. We get that sometimes things sound mean by text when they are really not supposed to be. We are sorry if we were rude or disrespectful. Of course we respect everyone the readers and the creators. To the readers, Hey reader we respect you and appreciate you for taking your time and love to read this long review. We think you are amazing just by that and thank you! To the creators, Hey creators we respect you for taking your time to read these long reviews and responding nicely. Also for making sure we are all happy with your great and amazing game. Again overall. We were thinking of giving this game 2 stars but when you think about it, it doesnt deserve it. So we pushed it up to 4. We love this game it is very fun but it may not be for you. Tysm! Love, us.
These adds are horrible and we would rather us play a game with no adds, because we love to play games but when the add comes up, we choose to not to play this game until tomorrow because we kind of dont have much patience as a 13 year old kid and when an add is coming we hate it. But if you are the developer of this game and is reading this right now, Im not telling you that you have to, but at least make the ads five seconds because the ads Im watching are about 30 seconds and we would not like to wait 30 seconds to play a game for like two minutes and then have another ad for 30 seconds and just keep on going and going with adds so please either take away all the ads or make five second ads instead of 30 seconds. And then this game will be better than any other game you think of because its very fun and we would like you to make more tricky brain puzzles Like this. We appreciate you reading this and making this fun game for not just us but other people Sorry about our grammar our spelling is also not that good.
It is a fun game but it is kind of hard but fun so have a really good time playing this game 9; 50 am is what time Im righting this on fri jan 26 of 2024 bye.
The game had a lot of ads, constantly lagged and the levels were pretty easy. Overall it was a good game we hope you fix that though.
We have enjoyed all the brain test games, but they all have the same problem. Too many ads. This particular brain test we quit playing after the fourth level because there was an ad between every single level.
They let you play a few levels without ads and they ask you to rate the game. Then the ads start coming, at least one per level and sometimes more.
The game itself is fun and challenging, but an ad after every round is a ton of ads.
Game could be really fun, but its hard to get a grasp of the game when there is an ad after every level. To begin with, each level is so easy it only lasts 5 seconds to solve then an ad for 30 seconds plays. More ad watch time then gameplay. Total cash grab.
Sometimes this game can we have very very tricky words sometimes, but so far this game to us is easy.
Not the best for 5 yo but its one of the best games Ive ever played.
Australia is a continent not a country.
We love the game, we finished all the Brian tests(1,2,3 and 4) they were awesome. But the kept the hints when you leave the game. We used a letter hint, but had to get off before figuring out the word, we got back on today, but we didnt have it, this could be a bug, idk, but it would be helpful to change this. We have used a hint hint before, but we got the words before we left, so idk if it keeps those. But the letters is our biggest(and only besides the ads) problem we just realized it doesnt keep the letters you placed if you leave the game either, so if you could fix those two things that would be awesome! Some ideas(we like making games too, we just dont post them): Add a feature so that when u click on the letter hint, then it brings up all the hints you can get, but only the ones youve bought were unlocked, so u can click on them(but it only lets you click on them in order, and they go where their supposed to) Add a feature so that when you click the letter hint, then the hint(s) will youve gotten(if any) show up in their spots Or, just make it so that they stay, or the letters you placed stay too Thank you for your awesome games! Bye.
Ok so pls dont get the wrong idea and we will do this review nicely Way to much adds it makes us feel like the game is just money hungry and we cant even pay for the no adds The game is really fun but if you could make the jokes at the end a little bit more funny it would be AMAZING about we dont want to ask for much so just pls consider this comment we will not be deleting this game but we do hope that you will fix the add thing and the jokes And pls dont try to tell us that it has a reason it is very annoying when they tell us the reason bc we already know the reason But pls consider this comment have an amazing day creators of the game Bye.
This game is super fun. We would give 5 stars if it didnt keep glitching and causing us to repeat levels.
Okay so yes its a fun game but. WAY TOO MANY ADDS!!!!!!! We mean literally one after every level it drives us insane.
To be honest every other brain test game is good but the past few (this and 4) have wayy to many ads its not as good and it takes the fun out of it getting an ad every 30 seconds is really annoying Im speed running all the games but we dont wanna pay 5 dollars for a game Im not gonna play once Im done.
This is a great game but the adds are unreasonable. We get that the adds help pay money but there are to many. When ever we finish a level we get an add ADD ADD ADD thats all Im watching adds Im not playing the game half of the time which is really annoying. So please limit those adds to a reasonable number but otherwise this is a great game good job.
Lost all progress after having to do a reset with our phone. No issues with other apps. Contacted support, but not surprisingly we havent heard a peep.
We can understand an ad every 5-6 levels, but after every level is a bit much. Uninstalled it. The ads take away from the gameplay.
This game is great, how its free and it works offline, but there is much that needs improvement. 1. The ads. Many reviewers complain about the ads, which take up at least 80% of all critical reviews, which we guessed because we read them. You finish a stage, and the game gives you an ad. The ad sometimes may take up more time than finishing 2 levels of this game. 2. The pressure put on the player. In the game, if you are just playing, you will find pop ups in between levels (when you finish them.) These pop ups show up like Tricky level ahead! And you need to watch an ad that you cannot skip if you want the reward. The other option which is smaller and not lit up is No thanks, Im too scared. This pressures you to watch the annoying ads to prove that you are not scared which feels cruel considering how many ads there are in the game. The developers are using physiology to make you watch the ad (which they get money from) so you get a small reward which is of less value than the money the devs get. And, even worse, they do it more! The get the reward by watching an ad button is lit up with red. This makes you click on it, similar to app badges. If you guys are tricking people, at least tell them. And sometimes you find ANOTHER pop up after that! It works the exact same way, but different colors and rewards. 3. The difficulty. Many others (including ourselves) have problems with the difficulty. The game logo and even the title say tricky even though the game is very easy. Even a simpler game would be harder. Please make this game as hard as the Brain Test games. Those were hard. So hard that people had to search up the answers. The difficulty also meant more ads. Play for 5-7 seconds, get a 30 second puzzle game ad. Play for another 5-7 seconds, see the same ad. Please make the game harder from level 1 to the highest. This is a great game, aside from many problems like the advertisements. We hope improvements are made to this game.
We just started playing this game and its cute but there are WAY TO MANY ADS. We definitely understand the ads to pay for the game but an ad after each level or to get rewards is absolutely ridiculous. Im deleting this game and will rejoin if the ads are reduced or ad time is lowered.
THIS GAME HAS WAYYYYY TO MANY ADS we MEAN LIKE ONE AFTER EVREY QEUSTION we MEAN SERIOUSLY.
This is a horrible game first of all way to many ads an ads pop up every second also whenever we finish a level it always lets us play it again and again and again this is the worst game ever!!!! So whoever made this game it needs a lot of fixes NOW.
We love Brain Games however they are now so riddled with ads its disgusting. We understand thats how they get paid but they make sure there is a quick end to their games (after you pay for no adds) so that you have to move on to their next game riddled with ads that they want you to pay for no ads once again. Na we're all set there is a million other games to be played like this. Please do better.
Every level theres an ad. Its horrible. Not worth the fun. If u get rid of the ads its acc a good game. 1 star.
Too often and too long .. Deleted game after 5 minutes. Had potential to be fun.
Would be a fun game if there were ads after every single level!!! Geez we can understand after every few but after every single one.annoying.
Forced to watch an ad between every level is INSANE! Deleing the app 9 levels in. Its not fun enough to deal with the ads.
Entirely too many ads, long ads after each time you submit an answer.
We have never had a more poorly operating app on our iPhone. Not games, utilities, hobbies, anything. Our husband had the Android version and was horrified at how it operated on our fully updated SE 2020. It showed us 3x as many ads as the Android version. And it got stuck at level 13, which we got right 6 times in a row before we gave up and deleted the damned thing. Ugh! Fix your code.
Had to give this a 1 star because you cannot even enjoy the game. There was an ad between every level and its ridiculous.
Why does level two keep repeating.
Just started playing and so much fun.
We love this game and most games by brain test,we enjoy your games, we just wanted to say about Iran, whose name was in your game, we run bravely for our freedom and history,, We have a beautiful country With brave people who are of persian origin and are descendants of Cyrus. They just forced us to forget, but we are making history again. Thank you for your interesting games. ,,TRY RUNNING TO IRAN,,.
We enjoy playing tricky levels. Great fun with family.
So we really like how it tries to trick your brain.
We love a good challenge, and this is it. We know this makes us sound nerdy. Just try the game and you will see.
Thsi game is pretty good sure it has adds but its also fun and it helps your brain!! We think you should get this game its really fun and has some tricks.
Hi you guys should make a Brain test4.
This game is awesome, we dont mind the ads, and it is challenging. We love it, and it gives you great hints! This game is fantastic, we recommend you getting this game! This deserves a five star review.
The game is pretty good, but there are WAY too many ads. We mean, One ad every few levels is ok and fine with us, but an ad EVERY level? Seriously? Most games give u an option to skip an ad after about 10-15 seconds. But this app? Nope. PLEASE change this and we will give this app a five star rating. We like the game and its pretty good, but please lower the amount of ads. Thank you for reading this review. Have a GREAT Christmas.
Everytime we finish a level, an ad would pop up and we would have to sit there and wait for it to finish. Also some levels are about movies but we dont really watch movies that much. This game would be so great if the number of ads got smaller and the levels a bit easier for kids like us. Thats all we wanted to say. Please fix this so this game is the best Brain Test games ever.
