The gameplay is generally described as enjoyable and simple, with some users appreciating the puzzle mechanics and graphics. However, the overwhelming presence of intrusive ads, particularly those that interrupt gameplay, has led to significant frustration and dissatisfaction among players. Many reviewers suggest that the ad placement detracts from the overall experience, making the game feel more like a platform for advertisements than a cohesive gaming experience.
“I enjoy the simple mechanics, and I can play it a couple of different ways.”
“Nice gameplay, I enjoyed the puzzles.”
“The gameplay is soothing and fun but everyone here is absolutely right about the copious ads they play.”
“The ads don't come at the end of every level which would be fine; they come right in the middle of the level causing a break in gameplay. Most of these ads are making themselves look like interactive ads, but when you attempt to interact, it just takes you to the Google Play Store, even further away from your game.”
“Unfortunately, the ads just pop up in the middle of gameplay instead of at the beginning or end of a round.”
“Could have been a great game, even with ads, if the ads didn't pop up during a level disrupting the actual gameplay.”
