Ads To Beat Levels
This is one of those games that forces you to watch ads in order to beat a level rather than allowing you to beat it without ads. I have deleted the app because I find that an extremely shady way to create a game.
To many ads
I really enjoyed this game, but I had to give it on one star because it’s way too many ads then I paid $7.99 for no ads and guess what I’m still getting ads. Seems like it’s more since I paid and they could take away the ads. This would be the best game out there.
Ads try to steal your information
If I could give zero stars, I would give zero
GAME USES ADS THAT TRY TO STEAL YOUR INFORMATION!!!!!!
I DO NOT recommend this game. If you VALUE your PRIVACY DO NOT USE THIS APP!!!

No longer works
I loved this app, but for the last few weeks it will not open. The last update changed the loading page but nothing else will happen.
Virus
Got to level 27 and the game now glitches to the internet to tell me my phone has a virus.
Scam
This app is a scam. Once you download it, it leads you to a gambling site and it doesn’t allow you to delete the app. Do not download this game.
Has ads
I saw this ad while playing another game and it states “no annoying ads”. Not true it’s had one after the first game I played. Now maybe if you purchase it you don’t get the ads but it does have them
Big Lies
This game is a CON don’t believe them when it says No Adds they are a LIARs after a few games the adds start coming when they said no adds well this is a lie!!
Vet your ads
They either need to review ads or give a way to report scams. If I see the add for bariatric jello using celebrity deepfakes that link to fake CHN and FoxNews pages, I’ll just delete the game.
It’s fraud. It’s a scam. It’s breaking intellectual property laws.

DO NOT LET CHILDREN PLAY THIS
This game is super fun. I enjoyed it quite a bit. There aren’t ads between every level like other games, which is nice. The game claims to be 4+, but the one ad that came up was 18+. It was absolutely disgusting and I immediately deleted the game. Do not let children play this unless you want them to be exposed to that.
Disgusting ads
I really like this game but the ads they show with the skin picking and absolute disgusting theme is so gross. I have to stop playing until they stop showing these ads. Show all the yarn ads all day long but these “asmr” that are actually vomit-inducing are going way too far. I hope someone sees this and will do something. I select not interested every time but it’s getting worse.
Sudden glitch purchases
Been playing quite a bit and built up a little bit of coins. Tonight the game glitched and purchased 4 extra slots at once. I wasn’t typing in that area at all. Deleted the game immediately. It takes a long time to build up that much coinage and that’s too specific a flaw. I don’t play game designed to cheat me.
ADS ADS ADS!!!
I enjoyed this game at first because I like the screw/pin puzzles and I like the word games and this seemed perfect together. Suddenly I started getting ads even breaking through the game while I was in mid-move. It started opening websites and telling me my phone was hacked. Either find better advertisers or fix the glitches.
Ads ruining the gameplay.
Ads galore. It was fun and now there’s forced ads every 60-75 seconds.
Forcing full ads in the middle of a level
It’s one thing to play a short ad at the end of a level, but forcing a full 30s ad in the middle of a level gets you an immediate delete.
Same 4 levels over and over again
I only played 12 levels before I got bored and deleted this. It was the same four levels three times over, then when I got to level 13, and it started the cycle again, I was done.
Repeat content
Repeat boring level and content, no progress as all, wasted my time!!!!
Malware
It will automatically open up a malware tab in safari, and will repeatedly pop up with the request to open tik tok.
Keeps trying to force me to open TikTok
Once I hit level 20, the game had a pop-up every couple moves at every level going forward, trying to force me to open TikTok. No, thanks. Deleted the app.
Good game but won’t open
I’ve been playing this game for about a week and now it won’t open up at all
Swivel is annoying
The swivel mechanism for navigating the image is annoying because you can’t see everything. You can zoom in and out, but the entire 3D object swivels on one point in space which seems to be in a corner, so you can never get the right view you need.
Ads stop podcasts, music, audiobooks
Unless you pay to stop the ads, you cannot play this game and listen to an audiobook or a podcast or music at the same time. It will constantly stop other audio after allowing it to play for a minute.
The actual gameplay is just like every other screw game - there’s nothing special about it.

Funnels you into purchases in order to advance
I have been on the same damn level for hours now and I cannot pass it without purchasing things. It’s ridiculous
Constantly pausing YouTube videos for no reason
Couldn’t even make it through level 3 because of this issue. Interrupting my audio in the middle of the level for no reason.
Annoying Audio Issues
Deleted the game because I assume the ads kept cutting off the audio I’d be playing from spotify. It was highly disruptive to have to constantly toggle back to hit play before going back to the game. I would have been willing to pay for an ad-free version. So annoyed that I just deleted the game altogether.
Impossible
Starts off fun but then it is impossible to beat - forcing you to watch ridiculous ads in order to move past where you’ve been stuck… multiple times!! It’s really annoying… deleted today. Which is a bummer because it is great if it worked…
Cute game. Cheats you out of coins.
It’s a fun game, but it literally cheats you out of the coins you earn at the end of each level. Example: I had 170 coins. I chose the ten-coin option (rather than watch an ad for more), and I watched my coin count DROP to 160 coins and THEN add the extra ten coins, so it still sits at 170. It literally took ten of my coins away before giving me more, and it’s a repeating occurrence, not a one-time glitch. Someone might want to look into fixing that.
There are ads
The ads for this game promise there won’t be ads. That’s a lie. There are ads and you have to pay if you want to get rid of them. Aside from that it’s just a mediocre 3D screw game.
Like but internet threats.
When I play my internet security alert keeps going off saying blocked threat attempts. I don’t feel safe playing this game. Too bad cause it’s kind of fun.
