    1,067 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of this game has drawn significant criticism from users, with many expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads encountered during gameplay. Players report being bombarded with ads after every level, during hints, and even in the middle of gameplay, leading to a perception that the game prioritizes ad revenue over user experience. Despite some players enjoying the puzzles, the overwhelming presence of ads has resulted in many considering the game unplayable, even after purchasing ad removal options that fail to eliminate all ads.

    • “I paid a minimal amount for no ads because they were annoying and I was enjoying the game.”
    • “I was having fun, so I figured why not buy the upgrade for no ads; there are over 110 levels, so it would be worth it for an interesting theme.”
    • “It's fun, but you have to pay for no ads to fully enjoy it without so much interference.”
    • “There's ads on the opening screen, there's ads at the bottom of the screen, the top of the screen, ads if you want a hint, ads if you need more time, ads if you die, ads if you win.”
    • “The sheer amount of ads is ridiculous and a lot of the answers to the puzzles don't even make any sense.”
    • “I paid to remove ads, however, I still get ads that block gameplay.”

However, the overwhelming presence of ads—often interrupting gameplay and consuming a significant portion of the player's time—has led to widespread frustration, with many reviewers describing the experience as more of an ad-watching session than actual gameplay. Despite the potential of the game, the aggressive monetization strategy severely detracts from the overall enjoyment.

    • “I really enjoyed the gameplay of this nightmare puzzle game; the concept and the puzzles were engaging.”

    • “I really liked the gameplay and graphics — it kept me engaged from start to finish.”
    • “There are more ads than actual gameplay; it's like 90% ads.”
    • “It literally stops your gameplay midway through to put an ad and force you to the Play Store.”
    • “The core gameplay had potential, but aggressive monetization and poor optimization ruin it.”

  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their quality and art style, contributing to an engaging gameplay experience. However, many users express frustration with the overwhelming number of ads, which detracts from the overall enjoyment and can lead to significant interruptions during play. Despite the visual appeal, the frequent ad interruptions are a major downside noted by players.

    • “The graphics and content are amazing, and I love how there are puzzles and you just have to watch ads for hints.”
    • “Good art style, challenging, and enjoyable.”
    • “I really liked the gameplay and graphics — it kept me engaged from start to finish.”
    • “The graphics are good, but the ads are so horrible. Even for one step, you have to watch ads, and there are no free hints or power-ups. It takes a long time to load, and it often considers you a failure, which is really annoying. It feels irritating to play with so much time wasted without actually playing the game.”
    • “I gave 5 stars for graphics, gameplay, and the developer's hard work. However, this game is a waste of time and trash because of the forced ads every 5-7 seconds. I highly recommend this game to those gamers who prefer watching ads more than playing games. Hurry up, guys, this game will fulfill your desire to watch ads, as it provides ad after ad every 5-7 seconds, plus your phone screen will be covered with pop-up ads too.”
