The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads required to earn in-game currency (gems) necessary for gameplay. Many users report that they must watch numerous ads—often upwards of 40—to play just a few levels, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab. While some players acknowledge the need for ads in free games, the overwhelming frequency and forced nature of these ads have significantly detracted from the overall enjoyment and accessibility of the game.
- “The game thrives on microtransactions.”
- “You have to pay for no ads but still like the gameplay.”
- “This game is good, but after you do the free spin, you have to pay for no ads to do the next spin!”
- “I'm fine having to wait to play levels for free or watch ads to gain jewels, but having to watch upwards of 40 ads on top of waiting 30 minutes to play one stage is simply too much.”
- “The problem is that I have literally seen more ads than the number of puzzles I have solved.”
- “You either have to pay for it or run ads in order to do the vast majority of levels.”

Overall, the gameplay is described as enjoyable and well-designed, particularly with challenging puzzles; however, it is significantly hampered by intrusive ads, a lack of an undo feature, and a frustrating paywall that limits progression. Players often find themselves running out of resources quickly, which detracts from the overall experience. While the core gameplay is fun, the monetization strategies and ad interruptions create a negative impact on player satisfaction.
- “The nonograms are fun and the gameplay is well designed.”
- “Gameplay very good with challenging puzzles.”
- “The gameplay is fun when you actually get to play.”
- “After about 20 minutes of gameplay, I'm already out of money, thus making it impossible to keep playing.”
- “Gameplay-wise, there's no undo button (unless I missed it due to uninstalling so fast because of ads), which I dislike.”
- “Like the gameplay but it's so frustrating constantly waiting for a video ad to be ready.”

- “It has pretty good graphics.”
- “The graphics are subpar and the puzzle you're doing doesn't always match up with the end result.”

The in-game music has been criticized as repetitive and annoying, with some users describing it as a "maddening garbage jingle." Additionally, the game disrupts any background music, requiring users to restart their music apps when switching back to the game.
- “And one last note, the in-game music is some maddening garbage jingle on loop.”
- “Secondly, your app cuts out audio from music when switching into it, requiring a restart of any music app you're listening to while playing.”

The game's story is criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with players expressing a desire for a more compelling narrative to enhance the experience. Additionally, the monetization model, which limits access to puzzles and rewards, detracts from the overall enjoyment.
- “My only complaint is the lack of a story or something to make things more interesting, and more free jewels to get!”
grinding
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players find the grinding aspect of the game frustrating, citing excessive ads and a stamina system that feels like a ploy for premium currency, making the experience tedious and overly complicated for a simple picross concept.
- “This game feels as if the devs asked, 'How do we take the simple concept of picross and make it as obnoxious as possible?' There are ads everywhere, and stamina systems disguised as premium currency, which gets extremely grindy.”
- “The search to find one manually is quite tedious.”
stability
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The game has significant stability issues, with users reporting frequent glitches, screen strobing, and freezing during the tutorial, which detracts from the overall experience.
- “I've been looking for a game like this for a while now, and finally found it through my pay-to-play game. However, it glitches every time I start a puzzle, making the screen strobe.”
