The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the increasing frequency and intrusiveness of ads, particularly after a recent update. While some users appreciate the option to pay a small fee to remove ads, others find the current ad model excessive and disruptive to gameplay, with complaints about long, unskippable ads and aggressive monetization tactics. Overall, the sentiment suggests that while ads are a common feature in free games, the balance between gameplay and advertising has shifted unfavorably for many players.
- “The game really feels like it is done for the players, not the ads.”
- “Great puzzle game with the most reasonable monetization I've seen in a long time!”
- “The game is fun, but most of all I like that the prices for in-app purchases are very fair.”
- “After the latest update, there's an ad when you open the app, an ad if you shut off the screen for a second and then come back to a level... ads, ads, ads.”
- “This game wants $18.99 a week to turn off its offensively long and frequent ads.”
- “The ads are now so invasive, the game is basically unplayable.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its solid mechanics, intuitive controls, and engaging puzzle design, reminiscent of sudoku. While some users note the presence of ads, many agree that they are minimally intrusive, appearing only between puzzles and not significantly detracting from the overall experience. The game offers a variety of difficulties and endless replayability, making it appealing to puzzle enthusiasts.
- “Intuitive gameplay.”
- “Really unique and interesting gameplay. I would categorize this game as something akin to Sudoku, as in you use numbers and their positions to figure out how to complete the puzzle. The progression of difficulty is good, especially if you go by the achievements (doing easy, medium, or hard under a certain time). Try Hashi out!”
- “Very smooth gameplay, and well programmed.”
- “Ads outweigh gameplay and automatically open and install other apps.”
- “Saturated with ads, banners distracting from gameplay.”
- “You get an ad after generating a new puzzle, so for example, solving medium puzzles in 30 seconds grants you 30 seconds of gameplay and 10-15 seconds of ads per puzzle.”

Users express frustration with the game's music aspect primarily due to intrusive ads that feature loud, unskippable music, disrupting their listening experience. Many report that these ads not only interrupt their gameplay but also cause their music apps to close, leading to a less enjoyable experience overall. While the game itself is well-received, the persistent and annoying nature of the ads significantly detracts from the overall enjoyment of the music while playing.
- “Ads default to silent, it can take ten minutes to finish a game on medium difficulty, so you can listen to music while you play uninterrupted, ad comes at the end of the game.”
- “Great game but the ads sometimes have noise and it turns off my music ”
- “They aren't skippable anymore, and they have sound which interrupts whatever audiobook, podcast, or music I'm usually listening to while playing.”
- “Really the only problem is that the ads (which vary in how baffling/annoying they are) always stop the music and usually it doesn't turn back on afterward.”
- “Repetitive ads with loud music that can't be muted.”

- “Ads never interrupt play, no glitches that I have seen, no sneaky privacy-killing permissions.”
- “With no cost and no glitches or bugs, this is the perfect game!”
- “Good game, not buggy; ads aren't made to be annoying.”
- “Mechanics work alright: creating and removing lines is straightforward but it sometimes glitches in that creating the line takes a few tries.”
- “Ad-riddled, data hogging, slow, laggy, buggy, really dull game - doing essentially anything else is a better use of your time than wasting it on this gamelet.”

Users find humor in the app's ironic approach to ads, particularly the audacity of suggesting a premium version to address complaints about ad overload. The absurdity of ads claiming they can only be disabled by paying adds to the comedic experience, making the game enjoyable despite its ad-related frustrations. Overall, the humor is appreciated, even amidst the criticism.
- “Also, I find it hilarious that some ads say they can only be disabled by paying to disable ads, meaning someone expects people who pay to remove ads would keep some enabled.”

story

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of narrative and character development, with users expressing a desire for a more engaging storyline and animated elements to enhance the experience. While the gameplay is enjoyable, the absence of a cohesive plot leads to boredom over time.
- “Generates random puzzles, no storyline, no progress.”
- “Good, but at one point I will be bored. I don't understand this language! Maybe more animation or adding a story to this game, like giving those numbers some characters and making it lively.”
grinding
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly due to the frequent accidental back-button events caused by the swipe feature on newer devices. Additionally, while ads between puzzles can be bothersome, a one-time payment option is available to remove them.
- “However, on newer devices with the 'swipe-from-the-edge-inside' feature that acts like the hardware back button, it is tedious to play since connecting dots on the edges often leads to an unintended back-button event.”
- “Ads between puzzles are a bit tedious, but you can pay once to never see them again.”
