  • Recent updates have increased the frequency of ads, making the game feel less enjoyable.

  • monetization
    724 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming frequency of ads, which many find intrusive and disruptive to gameplay. While some players initially tolerated ads, recent updates have increased their occurrence, often requiring users to watch multiple ads after placing just a few pieces. Additionally, the subscription model for removing ads—priced at $10 for only 30 days—has been deemed excessively high, with many players expressing a preference for a one-time purchase option instead. Overall, the monetization approach is viewed as predatory, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “Good, fun, and relaxing game, but the monetization is ridiculous.”
    • “I wish you just had a one-time payment to buy the game and then there's no ads at all.”
    • “Gameplay is fun, but the monetization is beyond egregious.”
    • “The sheer volume of ads is egregious and untenable.”
    • “The game is a greedy cash grab anymore and is not enjoyable to play.”
    • “I was enjoying this game for months, but now they constantly interrupt gameplay with ads, it's sad to see another game ruined like this.”
  • gameplay
    49 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for being enjoyable, addictive, and well-designed, with many players appreciating the unique mechanics and puzzle-solving elements. However, the overwhelming presence of ads and the restrictive energy system significantly detracts from the experience, leading to frustration among users who feel that the monetization strategies overshadow the gameplay itself. While some players find the game relaxing and engaging, the frequent interruptions and the need to watch ads to progress have led to a negative perception of the overall gameplay experience.

    • “I love the puzzles; the gameplay is exactly what I love.”
    • “The gameplay is addictive; I really do enjoy this game.”
    • “Enjoyable, relaxing gameplay.”
    • “There are dozens of games out there in this genre that don't deploy the ridiculous 'energy' mechanic, nevermind deploying it such that every individual click depletes energy so that you're forced to watch a 60-second ad every 2 minutes, plus the skippable interruptions every 2-3 objects solved.”
    • “I was enjoying this game for months, but now they constantly interrupt gameplay with ads; it's sad to see another game ruined like this.”
    • “Getting an ad every 10 seconds of gameplay is horrendous.”
  • stability
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant issue, with numerous users reporting frequent freezes and crashes, particularly after watching ads. Many players express frustration over lost progress due to these interruptions, which often require force-closing the app. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, its stability problems severely impact the user experience, making it nearly unplayable for some.

    • “The game is nice but my screen freezes every 3 minutes on the game then I have to force close the game and my progress is lost :( it's very frustrating, especially on difficult pictures because I have to do them all over again.”
    • “I like this game a lot but the only issue is it crashes and freezes extremely often which brings me down by a lot of progress.”
    • “Game was great but after the most recent update it's just broken. Every time I open it, the game freezes and when I open a level I can't move or place pieces; it's just frozen and the app says 'not responding'. Please fix this!”
  • graphics
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the cute and charming art style, particularly praising the pixel art that enhances the puzzle format. However, some users express disappointment with the overall quality, describing the graphics as poor or uninteresting. Overall, while the aesthetic appeals to many, there are notable criticisms regarding graphical quality.

    • “This is a cute, addicting game with cute graphics.”
    • “The pixel art style lends itself greatly to the puzzle format and makes it easy to keep building whether it's on the visuals of the piece or the shape.”
    • “Great pixel graphics, fun and challenging.”
    • “Terrible graphics...not interesting at all in my opinion.”
    • “Graphics are awful.”
    • “Poor graphics.”
  • music
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, described as relaxing and enjoyable, contributing to a chill atmosphere. However, some users find it repetitive and express a desire for a broader selection of tracks. While the in-game sounds are appreciated, there are complaints about the lack of options to turn off the music and the need for additional songs to enhance the experience.

    • “It's a good way to wind down, and there's a kind of campy feel to the experience, especially if you listen to music while playing.”
    • “Just a chill game with a nice soundtrack.”
    • “I also really love the music (though, I think adding two more songs by the same artist to the playlist would help.) The helpful tools are really good, too.”
    • “While the music in the ad was a bit repetitive, the in-game music is very relaxing.”
    • “Nothing popped up to turn the stupid music off.”
    • “I wish for more music because the current one is starting to get repetitive.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, noting that it can feel tedious and irritating, especially with issues like energy not regenerating while offline. While some find the challenge sufficient, others feel it detracts from the overall enjoyment.

    • “As if the ad farming couldn't get worse, the game is now refusing to regenerate my energy when I'm offline.”
    • “Make the game tedious and irritating.”
  • emotional
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express that the game's mechanics, particularly the loss of progress and energy upon closing, can lead to feelings of frustration and relief at not having made a purchase. This experience is compounded for those with mental health challenges, making it difficult for them to engage with the game fully. Overall, the emotional impact of the game is mixed, with some players feeling overwhelmed and unable to continue.

    • “With my mental health and emotional well-being issues, I could not stay long enough to finish the game.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted as a creative and engaging element, enhancing the colorful and diverse jigsaw experience. However, the subscription model is criticized for being excessively priced, adding a layer of irony to the overall enjoyment.

    • “It's a creative take on the jigsaw genre, and with how many levels are colorful, diverse, and with a touch of humor, heart was really put into this.”
    • “The monthly subscription is hilariously outrageous.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players feel that the lack of online play significantly impacts the game's replayability, suggesting that the ability to play with others would enhance their desire to revisit the game.

    • “If it were playable while online, I would increase my rating.”
    • “The lack of meaningful choices makes replaying the game feel pointless.”
    • “Once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to go back.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is overshadowed by frustrations related to monetization, as players feel that even after paying for an ad-free experience, they are still restricted by locked missions and slow energy regeneration, leading to a reliance on ads or additional payments to progress.
