    The game initially offers a playable experience with manageable ads, but after level 30—or especially after level 100—players face constant, often long and intrusive ads after every level, severely disrupting enjoyment. While there is a costly option (around $7.99 to $11.99) to remove ads, many report ads persisting post-purchase, ad-related crashes, lack of reliable ways to earn coins without spending, and forced microtransactions, leading to a perception of aggressive monetization and pay-to-win mechanics. Overall, the monetization heavily relies on ad revenue and in-app purchases, detracting significantly from gameplay for many users.

    • “There are no ads to watch to get the extra rolls, switching the yarn loop colors, or pulling a yarn loop out of order during the game.”
    • “No ads after failed levels is a plus.”
    • “Option for no ads is great.”
    • “The game is set up to prevent gameplay without making in-app purchases and offers no alternative methods to acquire in-game currency (watch ads, give reviews, etc). Not recommended unless you're wealthy and can afford to blow money on a game with zero return on investment.”
    • “After level 100, the game forces ads after every level and/or requires you to pay $10 to remove them. The ads are so frequent and long that it significantly detracts from the enjoyment.”
    • “Ads start around level 30 and continue after each round indefinitely, often being very long and sometimes causing the game to crash or restart, making the experience frustrating.”
  • stability

    The game suffers from frequent glitches and freezes that disrupt gameplay, often causing lost progress, unresponsive controls, and unexpected crashes. These stability issues frustrate users, especially during critical moments like challenges or in-app purchases, significantly detracting from the overall experience. Fixing these bugs is essential to improve playability and user satisfaction.

    • “Also glitches multiple times per level and either kicks me out or doesn't respond to tapping and I end up losing levels.”
    • “It's frustrating because it's hard enough to get coins, and then you keep losing because the game glitches.”
    • “Constantly freezes and stutters, irrespective of my connection, ads always take me out of the app, ignoring the impossible-to-click cross, stops my music sporadically for no apparent reason.”
  • graphics

    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    41% positive mentions, 45% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    The graphics are generally praised for being cute, colorful, and visually appealing, with some users appreciating the updated style and relaxing feel. However, several mention inconsistencies such as comparisons to recognizable characters (like minions), AI-generated or less soulful visuals, and displeasure over changes from original yarn-like designs. Additionally, some negative feedback arises from the presence of inappropriate graphic ads rather than the game's own graphics.

    • “I really like this game, it has great graphics and is challenging enough to keep you playing; some levels are really hard, and it isn't heavy on adverts either.”
    • “The graphics are bright and colorful, and the whole game has a relaxing feel to it.”
    • “Graphics and gameplay are fantastic; would recommend it to everyone. You can either play it for ages or pick it up now and again.”
    • “Speaking of, I also can't tell if the graphics are AI or man-made due to the lack of soul put into them.”
    • “The mascots look like ripoff minions, the lobby background (and maybe more graphics?) look like they were made with AI, and the gameplay uses so many obvious tricks to fake difficulty that it made me angry.”
    • “Really fun game; however, the decision to change from the woven look to basically little pegs is not aesthetically pleasing and almost removes the identity of the yarn entirely.”

    The gameplay is initially fun and entertaining with a decent core mechanic, but becomes frustratingly difficult and unfair at higher levels, often requiring in-app purchases or boosters to progress. Users report lag, unresponsive controls, and repetitive mechanics that hinder the overall experience. Additionally, the game heavily restricts free play and lacks alternative ways to earn currency, leading to a pay-to-win feeling.

    • “Honestly the game was great at first, good gameplay challenging at times but not so hard you felt you needed to use boosts.”
    • “Smooth gameplay overall.”
    • “The gameplay itself is entertaining enough.”
    • “Game difficulty issues: after around level 120 and above, the gameplay feels like a trick. The easy levels are as hard as the hard and super hard levels, wasting your time.”
    • “Core mechanic is okay, but the level design is so unfair that many levels are almost impossible without using boosters.”
    • “This game is set up to prevent gameplay without making in-app purchases, offering no alternative methods to earn in-game currency (watch ads, give reviews, etc.). Not recommended unless you are wealthy and can afford to spend money with zero return on investment.”
  • story

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    18% positive mentions, 55% neutral mentions, 27% negative mentions

    The story aspect is criticized for lacking meaningful quests and rewards, making missions feel nearly impossible and often pay-to-win. Users find daily quests buggy or unachievable, resulting in frustration and a sense that progression relies heavily on spending money rather than skill or effort.

    • “There's no meaningful way to earn extra slots, missions are nearly impossible, and even 'easy' levels can feel intentionally unwinnable.”
    • “At level 30, it's practically pay-to-play only, and there's no ads or extra missions to gain power-ups or in-game coins.”
    • “A whole other story as to the impossible goals to reach.”
  • grinding

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game is seen as tedious and increasingly challenging, especially beyond level 23, with some players experiencing burnout after extensive level farming. The repetitive nature of grinding can detract from the overall enjoyment.

    • “While cute in concept, this game becomes tedious and impossible by level 23.”
    • “I was grinding 150 levels a day, but when I got to level 450 I reduced my grind to 100 levels a day until I got to level 650.”
    • “Gets a bit tedious.”
  • music

    The music experience is frequently disrupted by freezes, stutters, and intrusive ads that pause or stop users' external music unexpectedly. These issues significantly detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “Constantly freezes and stutters, irrespective of my connection; ads always take me out of the app, with impossible-to-click crosses; stops my music sporadically for no apparent reason. Not sure if the game takes over audio or Bluetooth, but it just pauses my music and goes silent.”
    • “It was a really good game until the adverts started and would knock off the music I was listening to on my phone at the same time.”
  • emotional

    The game suffers from significant optimization issues, including frequent bugs, glitches, and stuttering that disrupt gameplay and cause input delays. These problems negatively impact the overall experience and player performance.

    • “Good game if it wasn't heavily buggy and glitchy, regularly causes me to lose by suddenly stuttering and ignoring my screen presses too.”
