The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay, including ads that appear mid-puzzle. While players understand the need for ads in free games, many feel that the frequency and intrusiveness of these ads detract from the overall experience, with some expressing a willingness to pay for an ad-free version. Additionally, the requirement to play a separate block puzzle game to earn keys for accessing logic puzzles has been viewed as a frustrating tactic to increase ad exposure.
- “I paid for no ads and so glad I did!”
- “I wish there was a paid option for no ads.”
- “There are multiple times where an ad would crash the app completely and I would have to close out, and if there was an option to pay for no ads, I would.”
- “The game itself is quite enjoyable, but the ads in the middle of the level are very off-putting and interrupt the flow.”
- “The puzzles themselves are pretty fun, but there are just too many ads to fully enjoy it.”
- “My biggest gripe is the way the ads work. I get that there need to be ads to pay for the game, but there are two problems in this case: 1) the ads break in mid-game and 2) they are very long with no way to skip.”

The game's story aspect is hampered by a frustrating key system that requires players to repeatedly engage in a tetris-like mini-game to unlock story chapters, leading to player fatigue and diminished interest in the narrative. While some users appreciate the integration of logic puzzles with a storyline, many express disappointment over the lack of coherence and resolution in the storylines, as well as the repetitive nature of the puzzles. Overall, the enjoyment of the story is significantly undermined by the mechanics designed to access it.
- “I like the mix of Tetris-like piece-fitting puzzles with story-based logic puzzles.”
- “The logic games are very easy, but the story is cute.”
- “Love the storyline that goes along with the puzzles.”
- “I don't get why the chapters, the main 'story' of the game, are locked behind keys that you can only earn through playing a block puzzle.”
- “I've given up on story mode because I have to play 20-30 rounds of block puzzles just to get enough keys to unlock the next chapter.”
- “The detective case format sounded promising but the clues do nothing to support the story.”

The gameplay is generally described as enjoyable, particularly the logic puzzles, but is heavily marred by excessive ads and a distracting block mini-game that detracts from the main experience. Players express frustration over the need to earn keys to unlock levels, which slows down progression and makes the game feel tedious. Overall, while the core mechanics are solid, the overwhelming presence of ads and the shift in focus to the block mini-game significantly diminish the enjoyment of the intended gameplay.
- “The actual logic puzzles are fine, good interface, and the three-lives mechanic protects against the rare misclick.”
- “They are easy to learn the gameplay, challenging, and have a fun storyline.”
- “Your tutorial really helped to understand the gameplay and so far I'm solving the puzzles and feeling awesome doing it.”
- “What sealed the last nail in the coffin was the fact that ads would pop up after every 'puzzle' (about 3 minutes of gameplay).”
- “The game would be 4 stars, but instead of the actual 'logic puzzles,' almost all the gameplay is just blockdoku.”
- “Used to love this game before they added the blockdoku, but now you spend 10x more gameplay on the blockdoku portion of the game than you do on the logic puzzles that I originally downloaded the game to play.”

The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being tedious and frustrating, as players must repeatedly engage in a dull block puzzle mini-game to earn keys needed to unlock the actual logic puzzles they enjoy. Many reviewers express that this grinding process significantly detracts from the overall experience, making the game feel more like a chore than a fun activity. While the logic puzzles themselves are appreciated, the excessive time spent on the key-earning mini-game is seen as a major drawback.
- “The logic puzzles themselves are fun and enjoyable, but the blockdoku mini game that you are forced to do between completing sets is boring, tedious, and makes the whole game way more trouble than it's worth.”
- “The worst part about this game is that, to unlock other logic puzzles, you have to play a stupid and tedious block tetris-like game which isn't fun in the slightest.”
- “Unfortunately, to be able to play the logic game, you have to earn keys by playing a tedious tetris type game with very little reward.”
