  • monetization
    379 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, who report an overwhelming number of long and intrusive ads that often disrupt gameplay. Many players feel that even after purchasing the ad-free version, they are still required to watch ads to progress, making the game feel more like a vehicle for advertisements than an enjoyable experience. Overall, the aggressive monetization tactics have led to frustration and dissatisfaction, with numerous players uninstalling the game due to the excessive ad presence.

    • “I never pay money for mobile games, but I paid for no ads on this one because the ads being over 2 minutes was so ridiculous, but I wasn't willing to give up the game.”
    • “It's a cool game, but the monetization methods are so aggressive. I paid to get rid of ads, yet there are still ads and in-app purchases all over the place.”
    • “I love the game so much that I paid for no ads, but there are still ads.”
    • “The fundamental game is actually really good, but it is so clogged with ads that it's basically unplayable.”
    • “Even if you pay for the ad-free version, you still have to watch ads to open up spaces on the board that make it possible to actually win the level, and those spaces reset every time you lose, so you have to watch them all over again every time you attempt a hard level!”
    • “The game halts at level 18, you play every other level like a breeze, and then you hit a point where you realize that you have been spending more time watching the ads than you have spent solving the puzzles.”
  • graphics
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for being colorful, aesthetically pleasing, and enjoyable, with some users highlighting the cute artwork and satisfying visuals during gameplay. However, there are complaints about the overwhelming presence of ads, which can disrupt the experience, and some players find the graphics either laggy or unappealing, particularly the pencil-themed designs. Overall, while the graphics have their strengths, they are marred by technical issues and personal preferences.

    • “The graphics, sound effects and gameplay are great.”
    • “Colorful graphics easy to distinguish colors.”
    • “Very fun with satisfying graphics for stacking the hexes.”
    • “I personally don't like the goofy graphics of the pictures of pencils mimicking famous paintings, but that's just me.”
    • “It's okay, but I kind of got bored quickly with the 'pencil themed artworks' you color in with the points you get on puzzle levels.”
    • “While the artwork is cute and the concept of completing art is fun.”
  • gameplay
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally described as decent and enjoyable, with some users appreciating its fun and educational elements. However, the overwhelming presence of ads significantly detracts from the experience, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction, especially for those who have paid to remove them. Overall, while the core gameplay has potential, the excessive ad interruptions overshadow its quality.

    • “Gameplay, look, and feel of the game are good.”
    • “Basic gameplay is decent and fun.”
    • “Game is fair and fun, with a touch of educational gameplay.”
    • “It feels like there's more ad watching than gameplay, and I shouldn't have to spend money to change that.”
    • “Very fun and addictive, but far too many ads; it can be extremely frustrating at times because the ad time outweighs the overall gameplay time.”
    • “I paid €9 for no ads, and I still get ads during gameplay.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report significant issues with the music feature, noting that it cannot be turned off or muted, leading to interference with personal music streams. Additionally, attempts to disable the game's music often result in crashes, indicating a lack of proper audio controls.

    • “But when I turn off sounds and music, it still continues to play.”
    • “Your game interferes with the music stream.”
    • “When I go to turn the music stream back on, your game crashes.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration with frequent, unskippable ads that disrupt the storytelling experience, requiring constant pausing and restarting. However, some appreciate the game's unique approach to storytelling, where completing levels unlocks drawings accompanied by explanatory texts that enhance the narrative.

    • “This is the best game ever! After completing a level, you get pencils to color a drawing, and after completing it, you receive a little text that explains the story of the drawing.”
    • “But the ads were really frequent, and worse for me is that I couldn't mute any of them, and they always turn off what I'm listening to, so I'm constantly having to go back and forth, pause my story, get through the ad, restart my story, then two minutes later do it all again.”
    • “The majority of the ads that play open the play story without me clicking on the screen.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including slow touch response, frequent freezing, and glitches that often require players to rewatch ads without receiving the promised rewards. These problems lead to a frustrating experience, ultimately causing some users to delete the game.

    • “The game itself is good, although it is very slow to react to touch. My biggest problem, and the reason I deleted the game, is that you sometimes need to watch an ad to open a space. However, after watching the ad, the game resets back to your last move and doesn't give you the space you traded for. Most of the ads work, but you don't get any reward for watching, so it's very slow and has major glitches.”
    • “The game literally freezes and force closes because it cannot handle playing some ads.”
    • “I really love the game, but it freezes up a lot. When you watch an ad for a space and come back to the game, it stops working, and you have to watch the ad again.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly due to an increase in ad duration, which detracts from the overall enjoyment.

    • “I used to love this game, but the ads have become so long that it's too tedious to be fun anymore.”
    • “The grinding feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “I find myself spending more time grinding than actually enjoying the game.”
  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its smooth performance and effective optimization, making it enjoyable to play for extended periods. Despite its simplicity, it remains a favorite among users.

    • “It always runs smoothly! It's just a simple game, but it's one of my very favorite games to play! At times, I don't want to stop playing, but I have to because I have what's called 'night blindness.'”
