The gameplay experience is marred by an overwhelming number of ads, with players reporting spending more time watching advertisements than actually engaging with the game itself. While the puzzles are generally considered decent, the frequent interruptions from ads and the repetitive nature of levels detract significantly from the overall enjoyment. Additionally, some users faced technical issues that prevented the game from starting, further complicating their experience.
“Gameplay is fine, puzzles are decent, ads every 2 taps is the most agonizing thing.”
“Good game in concept but far too many ads...in 3 minutes I've had to watch 4 ads...more ads than gameplay.”
“Not to mention ads every time you get an answer right is a bit extreme. I get it for hints and at the end of a level, but damn, I had to watch 8 ads just to pass a level.”
“Not to mention ads every time you get an answer right is a bit extreme. I get it for hints and at the end of a level, but damn, I had to watch 8 ads just to pass a level (each star only takes maybe a minute). So you're spending more time watching ads than you are in actual gameplay, and I wouldn't pay for a game that just repeats levels.”
“8 minutes of ads in 10 minutes of gameplay... I installed at 11 minutes. I expect ads and welcome them to keep a game free while I try before I buy, so let me play the game for a few levels then start the adverts... another one bites the dust.”
“Good game in concept but far too many ads... in 3 minutes I've had to watch 4 ads... more ads than gameplay.”

The humor in the game is perceived as inconsistent, with some players initially finding it amusing but later losing interest. Many users express frustration with the excessive and inappropriate ads, which detract from the overall enjoyment and are deemed unfunny, especially in a children's game context.
“Download this funny game for free.”
“The ads in this game are highly inappropriate, and the funny thing is that they are being played in children's games!”
“The ads are enough for me; when the hint comes up and I didn't touch it, they just play ads. After a few levels in the game, I can see a pattern: after 2 rounds of answering the riddles, they play ads, and it's not funny. I'm sorry, it's not fun at all.”
“Not funny.”

“Seems good at first but it uses the same 10-15 graphics and calls them different levels.”
