Too easy
I don’t see any puzzles so far that come even close to the ones displayed. Rather boring I’d say!
False information
I downloaded this game as it said no ads. But they lied. Ads all the time. Im deleting it.
I’m done… 3+ minute ad
I’m done the higher the level the longer the ads. The last ad was over 3 minutes.
I’m deleting this app.

Streaks

Level 880 is ridiculous
You wanted to make it impossible to complete, well you succeeded. I’m done. Won’t waste another minute of my life on this farce.
Not as advertised
Where’s the 3d more complicated puzzles?
Only fun at first
Once you hit level 3100 there’s no longer shapes or pictures it’s just squares. Boring. Not even challenging any more
Ad pop up in game
I get ads after a level but every 10 seconds one pops up while trying to play causing you to miss and hit the wrong arrow. Game used to be fun but it’s garbage now. I refuse to pay ransom money to these companies. They get plenty from the ads and would be fine limiting to in between games. Now you can pound sand.
Not satisfied
I want what is advertised…able to skip levels to harder picture puzzles
Not as portrayed
It’s irritating that the animals or images do not show up. I haven’t seen any of the advertised images.
Crashed multiple times - deleting
It’s not worth the effort of getting halfway through the block and have it crash. I’ve done the same block three times now. I’ve had enough.
Many Ad’s
There are so many ad’s it’s hard to play the game.
Need another update!
Your latest update has totally rendered this app useless! The app will no longer even open on my iPhone 17 Pro! Please correct this?
Ads
Beyond annoying especially when you can’t get through a level without seeing a hundred commercials first and the next time they cut my gameplay before I’ve even finished the level I’m just going to delete the game in the middle of the level and be done with it kapeesh?
Don’t be fooled
This game does not provide the images it advertises. After 3000 levels, I still see just rectangles and the occasional circle that don’t get progressively more difficult. Support was no help when I asked about the advertise d images and they blew me off with a non-answer.
Disappointed
Once I reached the level 2000 it seemed like the games were repetitive. The shapes changed to just a circle. I hung in there and when I got to level 4000 the game seemed easier. I wasn’t losing stars. I’ve now downloaded another arrow game just to be challenged.
Way Too Many Long Ads
Between every single level is an ad. Not just a quick 5 or 10 seconds, but full on, minute long ads. It’s insane. Deleted it after 30 minutes because I literally spent more time watching the ads than actually playing the game.
Start over?
Why do we have to start a level over when we walk away for a bit?
Extremely annoying!!!
Game also freezes a lot.
You have to shut it down, restart the level you were on. No matter how far you got.
EXTREMELY ANNOYING that the game locks up and you have to shut it down, then you have to start whatever level you are on over from the beginning.
Happens entirely to much.
I’m thinking of deleting this ap. I’m almost at level 4000!!

Too many ads
Play a level, up pops an ad.
'Ads plus you get what’s advertised
You do not get the 3-D pictures that are in the advertising. I’m quite high in the levels. And every game has a commercial after it. It’s way too many and I don’t play as often as I used to. Because I would like to see the 3-D pictures they would be more challenging than what’s offered, and a lot less advertising.
Too many ads, too easy
Around lvl20 ads started, very long ads
Ads between level advancements
As above. Makes the game unenjoyable.
Too Many Adds
I like the game and enjoyed the first 80 levels, I also understand ad supported games. There comes a point when you are in the middle of a game and an ad rolls. Then 10 seconds later, another ad rolls, another 10 seconds and another ad rolls. One puzzle rolled 20 ads. That is ridiculous. Fix it.
Mid-game mini ads
Edit: as soon as I finished this review and went back to the game, the mid-puzzle ads are now ten seconds. I’ll look for another game if this is how it’s going to be.
This is a fun game. The music is soothing, the puzzles are challenging. But it’s maddening to be in the middle of a puzzle and an ad shows up for five or so seconds multiple times. I don’t mind watching an ad between puzzles, but during is no fun.

Constant ads
Look I don’t mind ads after completing a level but when they pop up every 5-15 seconds during your gameplay, it makes the game unplayable. If you actually want to play this game you’ll need to pay $7.99
Too many ads
I enjoyed the game for a few levels but then the ads started…between every level. Then ads popped up during play every few seconds. I’m not paying extra for no ads. Deleted the APP and would not recommend it.
Predatory ads
This game isn’t mentally challenging, you can always just go backwards, which arrow do I have to move before the one I start from. Keep working backwards and you can easily win, but it is hard to always hit the arrow you want to the bigger problem is the ads are PREDATORY. they lie about a problem with your phone, try to trick people into clicking. And there is more time in ads than gameplay.
ADS ADS & More ADS!
I loved this game until they added more and more ads during my play. It constantly interrupts my playing.
Good games but the ADS!!!!
Love the game but now not only are there ads between games/levels, there’s multiple ads between plays! Deleting.
Turn off
Your game looks very good and fun however while playing another game and your ad coming up that goes on for more than 60 seconds is a real turn off you need shorter ads or I won’t even consider buying your or getting your product
All the same
98% of the puzzles are exactly the same. Occasionally a cool one shows up. The adds are crazy, but you can spend some of your hard earned money to play without adds.
Ads
More ads in game than there are levels to play.
In-Game Ad Pop-Ups = Terrible!
Great game but the in-game ad popups are incessant and must go for me to continue participating in playing.
Ads not games
It started out ok, even though the games are too easy, including the ones labeled super hard. Then ads started popping up throughout the game. It takes about 30 seconds or less to play a game without ads. Now you have 5 or more ads before you can finish a game. Deleted!
IQ level
Where is the little Einstein guy telling me what my IQ level is with each move?
Levels keep repeating
Warning, once you pass level 2000 there aren’t any new levels. They just keep repeating the same levels over and over. No more pictures either. I updated the game today, it said “exciting new levels”, except there aren’t.
What happened to super hard-edited again!
I was really enjoying this game but as I entered the 2000+ levels, the hard and super hard games were too easy. It used to be tiny lines in a big puzzle where you need to be so careful. Now the lines are still large and the puzzle is small, quick, and easy. No strategy or carefully looking for your next play. I would have given this game five stars but instead of becoming more challenging as you level up, it’s become boring. For that I give it three stars.
It appears the glitch has been fixed! I changed my rating to five stars
Once again the hard and super hard are easy. Now I’m at the 6000 level and I expect better.

Totally fake and misleading ads
The game is dun but the ads are completely fake websites and this is morally wrong.
Over and over
So, I'm on level 79 and I have played the same puzzle at least three times. Same solutions, same arrow orientation blah blah blah. I'm out
Great game
Really like the game but have to give a poor review because when I’m in a screen half way through it pops out of the game. I have sent for help with this problem-no response.
Keeps Crashing
Have played without issue for months, now game crashes frequently between levels or mid level. Very frustrating. Please fix.
False advertising
Your ads completely misrepresent the game I’ve played! There have never been any curved arrows! Worse, the ads don’t show that after three wrong moves the player has to spend money or watch ads.!
Please go back to the previous version
With the most recent update, the graphics have changed and for some reason, it triggers migraines for me. The shooting with the colors and the flashing lights? I really enjoy this game and I play it every single day but I will not be able to do it if it stays the way it is. Please consider changing it back. Thank you.
Too Repetetive
After level 100, there is nothing new. Gets boring quickly.
Loved this but….
Too many ads. Too expensive to get rid of ads. I played over 700 games and in the end, before I got aggravated and deleted the app, the ads would pop up with every other click of an arrow. Nope nope nope! Find another app!
Ads are forever
Just downloaded this app. Been on here for 30 minutes. In that time I progressed to level 16 (didn’t see an option to skip levels). There was at least one ad in between each level. The kind that don’t give you the option to exit. The last and final straw was an ad that stayed and stayed without any exit- and I quit the game and came back three times…still there.
Yeah, that was the final straw for me.
Besides that the game is beyond easy. Like toddler easy. And I saw no way to skip to a more advanced level. Or choose anything. I kept winning awards/bonuses…which is great except you have no choice but to use that bonus right then. Admittedly each bonus help multiples to them so even though you had to use the bonus you still had one for later.
It was like they were trying to teach me how to play. Except I could have probably skipped to level , 300.
I enjoyed the games even though they were beyond easy, and would have kept going except I REALLY couldn’t get away from that ad.
