    The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive frequency and length of ads. Many players report being bombarded with ads after every level, often spending more time watching ads than actually playing the game, which significantly detracts from the overall experience. Despite some users expressing a willingness to pay for an ad-free version, they often find that ads persist even after making such purchases, leading to frustration and uninstalls.

    • “I paid for no ads, but I still get ads.”
    • “Great game, however even when you pay for 'no ads', there are ads between every game which is extremely frustrating.”
    • “I paid to have no ads and it is very enjoyable.”
    • “I spend more time watching ads than playing the game.”
    • “The amount of ads is absurd.”
    • “I understand that ads are how to keep the games free, but this is excessive.”
  • stability180 mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent freezing and crashing, particularly after ads, which disrupts gameplay and often requires restarting the app. Many users report that progress is not consistently saved, and glitches can lead to repeated puzzles or unresponsive screens. While the game is enjoyable in concept, the overwhelming number of bugs and interruptions detracts from the overall experience.

    • “Amazing game, no glitches or errors.”
    • “This game has no glitches so far and is very fun and challenging.”
    • “Game freezes up while ads are playing and leaves a black screen.”

  • story126 mentions

    The story aspect of the game has received significant criticism for its repetitive nature, with players noting that the "detective stories" often recycle the same plot and puzzles, leading to a lack of fresh content. Many users expressed frustration over the limited storyline, which fails to evolve despite claims of new events, resulting in a monotonous experience. While some enjoy the initial gameplay, the overall sentiment is that the game needs more diverse and engaging narratives to maintain player interest.

    • “The puzzles are fun and challenging (but solvable, not sure why so many reviews say they can't solve the puzzles, you have all the clues you need!) and the storyline is intriguing.”
    • “Each puzzle has a fun little story and makes you think through the clues.”
    • “I really like the detective games part where there is a storyline.”
    • “The detective story needs to change and a new case would be appreciated.”
    • “It's too bad the detective story never seems to change even though it says 'start new event', it's always the same plot coming back with the mayor's daughter.”
    • “The detective story event is always the same one over and over - you start to remember the answers.”
  • gameplay77 mentions

    • “Game mechanics are okay, but there is an ad after every level you play, so you spend more time dealing with ads than playing.”
  • music40 mentions

    The music experience in the app is heavily criticized due to frequent interruptions caused by ads that pause or mute users' background music and audio. Many players express frustration over the inability to listen to music or podcasts while playing, as the game consistently overrides their audio settings, making it a significant drawback for those who enjoy multitasking. Overall, the lack of a seamless audio experience detracts from the enjoyment of the game.

    • “I'm sure the game is fun, but if I can't listen to music or a podcast, it's not worth it to me.”
    • “It's a good game, but it keeps on stopping my music and all the ads make me want to die.”
    • “I get it, you stop my music to show me ads, but why stop it every time I open the app or get back to it as well as after every level?”
    • “The app keeps muting the music on my phone.”
    • “Ads can't be muted and interrupt my streaming music, forcing me to switch apps to restart my music every other minute.”

    • “Needs some work on the graphic design, and on giving a bit of context to things, and could use another difficulty level, but otherwise passably good.”
  • grinding10 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly due to repetitive tasks and the frequent interruptions from ads that require multiple clicks to exit. This repetitiveness, especially when faced with difficult puzzles, detracts from the overall enjoyment and can lead to frustration. Many users express a desire for a more streamlined experience that minimizes the need for constant grinding.

    • “Having to exit out of ads after every level is tedious and takes away from the enjoyment of the gameplay.”
  • emotional8 mentions
