Misleading ad
Game is not what is advertised.
Adds
Your ads are disgusting. You finish a level there’s ad you hit the coins for a bonus. There’s a ad ads ads ads. You can’t even play the game without because of the adds
ADs
There is one AD that won’t go away. I have sent messages to Tech Support 3 times, along with photos, but have rec’d no communication.
Deleting game
Deleting game
Ads
Way too many ads
Disappointed
NOT at all like the “ad” to install!! Will be deleting
Songs
Oh, it is a song lyrics gets boring after a while
Bait and Switch
This game isn’t like the commercial at all. And it is filled with long commercials that require contract clicks. There seems to be more time watching commercials than playing a game!
Too long!!!!
Most of the puzzles are so long it is just not even fun but just tedious
Too many ads
WAY too many ads. I just got to level 4 and I’ve already seen six ads. No thanks.
Age rating is wrong
App store won't let me update previous rating. Just completed level 302, and it is NOT appropriate for the age rating of 9+. I would be very upset to have seen this if my 11yo was playing this game. Please correct either the level or the rating.
False advertising
Not like advertised
Good Game but These Ads
While it’s not so bad, you can tell from the get-go that the cryptographic keys aren’t going to be the same since the gameplay depends on deciphering quotes in a monotonous process. So someone who is more knowledgeable has a better shot than using hints that come at the high cost of coins.
What really gets me (this is what annoys me the most and why I’m writing this review) are the NONSTOP AD placements after every solve. As soon as I complete the tutorial it’s been nonstop.
If I have to complete 100 games that’s 100 ads to forcefully watch which diminishes any kind of appreciation for the game. Why can’t the developers space them after every five games or ten? This is ridiculous and it’s unfortunate because the game isn’t bad without the invasive ads.
Two stars.

Gets hard fast.
Not going to pay to play if it keeps getting difficult and not enough chances to get clues I’ll delete it
