Potentially brilliant concept -ruined by aggressive excessive ads
Pros: Creative, outside-the-box puzzles.Cons: OVERTLY Excessive ads, frustrating user experience, zero skills/knowledge challenge, there are so many forced ads it is impossible to enjoy.
Review:This app presents ingenuity in crafting short, "out-of-the-box" lateral thinking puzzles that challenge perception and reasoning to solve. Some levels are creative, tricky and fun, requiring a unique perspective to solve. However, the user experience is constantly avoiding hitting a button for more ads, must pay for HINTS on most levels to solve (NOT common sense or knowledge based-). While the puzzles can be witty, the majority rely less on logic or cognitive expansion and more on trickery. These levels are designed to be impossible to solve without purchasing hints, creating a forced funnel toward monetization rather than a rewarding intellectual challenge. There is no reward or visualized accomplishments aside from next level. It is absolutely absurd - NO POSSIBLE WAY is this app a 4.8-star rating. There is NO WAY- I call BS!! Just try it a few times I guarantee you agree! . I found myself spending roughly 75% of my time watching ads and only 25% actually engaging with the content.
I would kindly urge developer to to apply that same creativity used for some puzzles to your monetization strategy. The current, excessive ad-loading model turns what should be a light, fun experience into a frustrating, anxiety-inducing one. With a market saturated with brain-training apps, this one-by far-is the most intrusive,
Overall, there is a cute, clever concept that is, unfortunately, unplayable due to sheer frustration and anxiety over the amount of time wasted. I beg you to please reconsider the interface-there must be a better, more respectful way to monetize?

To many adds
I kept having to watch adds over and over again and every thing was just really to easy I’m not a big fan of this app
Too many ads
The game is fine, but there are ads every 30 seconds. It’s not worth it, even free.
Nope
Game won’t let me go on it keeps kicking me out fix bug
Too many ads
Too many ads.
no just no
there were so many ads and IT TRIED TO MAKE ME PAY like why??😠
All ads
The amount of ads is insane after every single level which take seconds to complete there is a forced ad
Too Many Ads
Too Many Ads
Too many ads
Too greedy that u ruined the game w too much ads
Good game but one problem
It takes up to much storage
Waste of time
They think the moon is closer than the clouds. A waste of time and the puzzle answers are literally wrong on many occasions.
DO NOT GET THIS
I payed money for no ads and I still had to get that
ADS
AD AFTER EVERY FREAKING LEVEL
This app sucks!
After every one minute level there is a 2 min add! Im getting more time on add than on the game!
Uhhhhhhh
It makes you smart and all but the game can sometimes be annoying like when you shake the screen or something it glitches and doesn’t work so that’s why it’s 2 star😕
Ok, but too hard
My brother and I kind of like this game but we kind of don’t at the same. Some of the puzzles are WAY too complicated and we end up having to skip them. We also play this game with our stuffed animals and dolls and we pretend that they find it hard as well. Also why do we have to pay 25 coins for one freaking little hint.
