Fun game,needs a bit
Mon Aug 12 2024 mymrenI’m on level 33 of this game now and really enjoying it. I did play about 3-4 games to see if I liked it before buying it. It is now formatted to the iPad for older reviews the mention that it didn’t. I do have some suggestions, questions. It has the large shopping cart and hint buttons on the lower portion of the squares. These make it difficult to read the lower squares without having to slide it back and forth. Please make them smaller and put at the top. There is a button to “pencil in” hints. This is worthless because after you leave the square the note disappears and doesn’t return. I had hoped it would be like the sudoku games where you can see your notes while figuring out what goes in which square. It doesn’t even show back up when you click on the pencil button again. Please fix those issues and it will be much better.
You also need a way to earn hints. Many people, including me, don’t pay money in a game.
Fix the formatting (and the ads)
Tue Sep 26 2023 #ALUMINATYCONFIRMED🚀I like this game because it is challenging and I love logic puzzles. However, there are several things about this game that I do NOT like and/or believe needs to be fixed (ergo, I only gave it 3 stars). The first thing is the amount of ads. I get that you need to have ads for your sponsors, but that MANY ads that FREQUENTLY (i.e., as soon as I open a puzzle, every other time I guess either right or wrong, etc.) is a bit much. The second, and essentially the BIGGEST, issue is how the actual game is formatted. What I mean by that is that there are some puzzles that fit just fine on my phone screen, but for much larger puzzles, I often times have to scroll back and forth, which wouldn't be so bad if I could turn my phone landscape and play the game that way. Also, I tried playing this game on my iPad (since the app CLAIMED that it is iPad compatible), but it was only formatted to an iPhone screen (also, I still couldn't turn my iPad landscape for easier gameplay). If it weren't for those two issues, along with the fact that there's no way to get more hints except to PAY for them, I would give this game 5 stars. If these problems are fixed, then I will go back into the App Store and change my review.
Good game. Could use some quality control.
Wed Oct 11 2023 xLordxMtnDewFun game overall. Puzzles are challenging but not so much that they can’t be figured out with a little thinking. But the attention to detail is not very high. In the “animals” puzzle, the clue stated “Rabbit can be found in Column B” but the entire B column was full. So at that point it was a guessing game as to where it actually was at. The Ads are extremely frustrating. Having the banner ad right below the Enter key when typing has led to multiple ads being opened. As well as the full screen ads that pop up mid game. I could understand after a puzzle or two, but mid level breaks the concentration so easily. Then the keyboard itself is not very responsive. Often times multiples of letters get inserted, or no letter at all. Which if not paying attention, leads to incorrect answers and a loss of lives.
Also the layout is annoying at times. Having to scroll side to side incessantly to see answers doesn’t help. It’s harder to keep track of info that way. Being able to switch to a landscape mode would improve this aspect greatly.
Good game. Could be great. But needs some help rounding off the edges.
Fun and Challenging except….
Thu Mar 14 2024 SireesAnwarI love logic games and this one is rather fun. You have a grid and word puzzles to help you fill in the grid. You get 2 mistakes and on the third you have to watch an ad. Fine makes sense. But literally after watch the long ads I get an answer right and have to watch another ad. This is extremely frustrating. And sometimes when you’re playing and you’re getting everything right, you’re still watching an ad about every other answer. You can get hints for the puzzle by watching an ad which is also logical. You are doing something to gain a reward. But if I do that and then I get the answer right I’m forced to watch another act. There are so many ads in this game that it’s not even worth playing. If the excess ads were cut down and you just had to watch ads when you made mistakes or wanted extra clues, then the game would be worth it but at this point, I just wanted to delete it.
And then there is the formatting. I get having to scroll for bigger puzzles on a phone screen but why can’t I even turn my phone. It is frustrating though the ads are more so.
Too many ads break concentration. Not fun.
Wed Mar 27 2024 Lucy&PeanutThe amount of ads is ridiculous. It would be fair to make me watch a full ad in between levels, if I make a wrong guess, or if I need a hint. But to constantly interrupt the game with ads is annoying and distracting. On top of it, it’s always the same ad with the crying baby, which just stresses me out. I wouldn’t mind paying something to avoid ALL of the ads, and it wouldn’t bother me if there were LESS ads and they were limited to times that aren’t breaking my concentration. But, due to the amount of ads, I’m out. They take all of the joy out of solving puzzles and it’s no longer fun.
Unfortunately, I probably won’t check back to see if the problem has been fixed. I hope these developers realize they’re shooting themselves in the foot because they’re being greedy. It seems like every game I download lately is the same garbage. As a result, the only game I consistently play is one that I pay for. Which I’m willing to do because the developers have taken the time to create a quality game. On top of that, I don’t HAVE to pay, but it enhances the experience when I make the investment, so it’s worth it to me.
so many ads
Sun Mar 10 2024 lilliekathI understand that ads are needed for sponsorships for mobile games and thats how you make money and that’s completely okay. However, the amount of ads in this game is unnecessary. Ads in the middle of a level are very frustrating and break concentration. It would be completely understandable to have ads after every level, but getting an ad after almost every other box being filled is a bit insane. I’ve genuinely considered deleting the game a few times because of the amount of ads, but have never done so because it is a good game overall and it gives me something to do when i’m bored. There was a time when I watched a full ad to revive, and then once I filled the first box after being revived I got another ad that I couldn’t skip because it was only about 15 seconds long, but it made me wait another 10 seconds to exit out of the ad after the ad was done playing.
tl;dr
there are way too many ads in this game and you would probably have more players if this wasn’t the case
Fun puzzles but annoying issues with interface
Sat Jan 20 2024 squawkyThe puzzles are straightforward and fun, although sometimes the clues can be a little vague (and require guessing, which is stressful given that you only get three mistakes per puzzle - and it’s easy to make a typo that costs a life.)
The interface ruins the experience for me, though. You are stuck in portrait mode and there is no zoom option, so you cannot see the whole board at once - tricky when a clue refers to a cell or column you cannot see. The worst, though, are the “store” and “hint” buttons that cover up two of the three word cells at the bottom of the screen. If you are working on the corner of the puzzle, these hide the word as you type and cover up the clues that might appear when you get the correct word.
There are a plethora of ads - two or three will interrupt you mid-puzzle, and there’s another when you finish. That’s the price of “free” games - but the reason I deleted the app is the interface, not the repeating ads.
Too Many Vague/Absent Clues
Fri Nov 03 2023 ajax_18I agree with several of the other reviewers here that the idea of this game is great, but the execution needs some work.
As you get further through the levels, there are several puzzles where there are not enough cells with clues for you to make deductions about the remaining answers — or if there are clues for say “cell A1”, they are not revealed until you have used a hint or randomly guessed an answer to another cell that you needed the answer to “cell A1” to have solved in the first place. (If that sentence didn’t make any sense to you, then you have some idea of how frustrating the game can be 😆) Other clues are entirely too vague to be of any use. One clue in a puzzle about cards/card games just says “Find Deck”. That’s it. That’s the whole clue.
I really hope the game developers take this feedback and that left by other reviewers to heart and smooth out these rough edges. The game would be really fun if they could figure out how to make the clues in this logic puzzle actually…logical.
Great potential but lacks full functionality.
Fri Mar 14 2025 Abe33333So this is a great logic game. Very challenging! But it’s not made for iPad and has some major flaws that inhibit game play.
One major problem is that you can’t zoom out on the game board to see the whole board. When typing in a cell that is on the left side of the board, sometimes you need to refer to a cell that is on the right side of the board. But you can’t see both cells at the same time, because you can’t zoom out. This is a frequent problem because you often need to refer to a previous cell to provide the answer to your current cell.
Another problem is on the bottom row of cells. These cells are always obstructed by menu buttons. So you can’t see what is written in the bottom cells and you can’t see what exactly you’re typing into these bottom cells. The bottom menu buttons should be moved so they don’t obstruct the bottom row of cells.
I also wish there was also some consistency with the font. The clues are all written in lowercase letters. But you have to type in your answers in uppercase. This can be tricky when you’re trying to spell the answer correctly. And accidentally misspelling an answer will deduct a life. I wish there was a fix to this, because oftentimes the misspelling is just a typo.
These issues ultimately make the game unplayable, which is unfortunate. I’d like to play this game more and think it can be easily improved. If these changes were made, I would easily give this a five-star review.
Lots of clue errors
Sun Jan 21 2024 gosleyjReally like this game BUT I’m having the same problems as other users. Starting around level 60, there are at least one clue error per level. For example it will say a term is diagonal from the cell but it turns out to be to the right. I paid $6 to remove ads but end up having to watch after losing lives because of errors. To move on I have to wait for it to offer a free hint (free hints might be a benefit you get after paying to go ad-free since I don’t remember getting them before purchase). Also, the shop & hint icons being on the playing field for the iPhone version might be necessary due to screen real estate, but it should not be that way on the iPad version. Also, the whole grid should be able to be viewed on the bigger screen along with an option to view in landscape mode. It’s a shame that the developers don’t fix these flaws since it’s the only logic game of its type. Would give it 5 stars if even a couple things were addressed (fixing clue errors is a must).
