The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads. Players report being interrupted by ads after nearly every level, with many expressing frustration over the frequency and length of these ads, which often lead to game freezes and crashes. While some users acknowledge the need for ads in free games, the consensus is that the current implementation detracts significantly from the overall gaming experience, prompting many to uninstall the game or seek ad-free options.
āIf you want a straightforward puzzle game without in-game purchases being the deciding factor in whether or not you can keep playing, then I highly recommend this game.ā
āPaid for no ads and now the game is perfect.ā
āFun to play, worth the $2 for no ads.ā
āThe game is enticing enough, but the ads are out of control.ā
āI don't want to spend more time watching ads than I do playing the game.ā
āThe ads pop up every ten seconds, making it impossible to enjoy the gameplay.ā

The game's stability is a significant issue, with numerous users reporting frequent freezes and crashes, particularly after watching ads. Many players express frustration over having to restart the app after nearly every level due to these interruptions, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game. While the gameplay itself is often praised, the persistent technical problems make it nearly unplayable for many users.
āNo glitches, can play offline, great for appointment waiting rooms!ā
āReally good game, no glitches or errors. Keep up the good work!ā
āNo glitches, not overwhelming with ads, varying degrees of difficulty.ā
āUnfortunately, it also crashes/freezes constantly.ā
āThe game itself seems fine, but it's unplayable because every time an ad is done playing the app completely freezes and you have to restart it to get it to work again.ā
āI love the game but it freezes after every level or two and you have to exit all the way out and open it back up.ā

The gameplay is generally enjoyable and offers a good challenge, with many users appreciating the puzzle mechanics and rewarding levels. However, the experience is severely hampered by an excessive number of ads, which interrupt gameplay frequently and frustrate players, leading to a negative impact on overall enjoyment. While the core gameplay is praised, the ad-to-gameplay ratio is widely criticized, with many recommending playing in airplane mode to mitigate interruptions.
āThe gameplay is enjoyable; it's not too hard, and some levels feel fairly rewarding after getting stuck for a short period.ā
āThe gameplay is good and definitely challenging, but in a good way!ā
āGreat gameplay really gives my brain a good workout, and oh boy does it need it.ā
āIt's frustrating because the game itself is a bunch of fun, but the rate of ads that happen, withdrawing you from gameplay is just outright disrespectful of the player's time.ā
āHundreds of users have told the developer that the use of ads is way too frequent... to the extent that it destroys the gameplay and user experience.ā
āThe ads were excessive for the length of actual gameplay.ā

Overall, the graphics of the game are widely praised for their visual appeal, smooth movement, and vibrant colors, contributing to an enjoyable gaming experience.

Despite these concerns, the majority of players find the graphics to be a standout feature that enhances the puzzle-solving experience.
āI really like this game; it works well because it is a puzzle game where the puzzle can be solved. The color and graphics are visually appealing, and the movement of each piece is smooth and accurate.ā
āThe graphics are amazing, and if you love puzzle games, you should try it out.ā
āGreat game, beautiful graphics, challenging; I love this game.ā
āChromebook use sees visuals distorted with half shading, sometimes making it a pain to look at.ā

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players enjoying its relaxing and upbeat qualities, while others find it lackluster and repetitive. A significant concern is the frequent interruptions caused by loud ads that disrupt background music or podcasts, leading to frustration among users. Many players express a desire for an option to customize or turn off the in-game music to enhance their overall experience.
āThis game is very challenging and very relaxing; I love the music, I could play all day. Thank you for such a great game šā
āIn this game, the music is so awesome and it makes me want to dance.ā
āVery relaxing and challenging game...great color graphic shapes and upbeat background music...a sweet brain teaser !!ā
āThe game music is lame.ā
āWhen the ads come on, they are twice as loud as the game's music.ā
āI would rather have to pay for a game and enjoy playing the game... it's so annoying to play a game with soft relaxing music then a commercial jumps in with loud blaring tones that upset your relaxed attitude and make you instantly pissed off at the game.ā

The story aspect of the game appears to be a mixed bag, with players expressing frustration over quest tracking issues and bugs that hinder progress. While some enjoy the challenge of the quests, others find it difficult to navigate through them due to freezing problems and unclear progression paths. Overall, the narrative experience is overshadowed by technical difficulties and a lack of clarity in quest availability.
āThis game is good for the brain; the novice quest was so easy, but the quests ahead are very challenging.ā
āI love to read and do this game at the same time; it only takes a little time from the story.ā
āThis app is a different story.ā
āI go into it today and all it has is the 'novice' quest and it shows all the puzzles completed!ā
āAccording to my count, I have completed 15 quests, and 4 premium quests, but the counter in the app has continued to say 14 of 15 quests completed for my last two.ā
āI've completed it but there are 2 hidden quests that you cannot open??ā

The humor in the game is generally perceived as lacking, with many users finding the ads to be unfunny and misleading, detracting from the overall experience. While some players appreciate the fun gameplay and occasional amusing moments, the consensus is that the humor does not significantly enhance the game, often feeling forced or absent. Overall, players enjoy the game for its entertainment value rather than its comedic elements.
āHere's a funny story: my cousin bought like $56 of coins on there, which is so funny, but she has to owe her mom $56 and her dad $5 lol.ā
āKind of find it funny that there are marijuana leaves in the fall background animation.ā
āIt's very funny and puts the brain to work.ā
āIt's not funny, but it is a lot of fun!ā
āFun, not funny.ā

āVery annoying, super tedious.ā
āFun game but a lot of ads, some ads freeze and make you restart the whole game and it gets frustrating and tedious.ā
āNot stimulating, and a non-stop cavalcade of advertisements for similarly tedious time-wasting games.ā
