I’m on level 33 of this game now and really enjoying it. I did play about 3-4 games to see if I liked it before buying it. It is now formatted to the iPad for older reviews the mention that it didn’t. I do have some suggestions, questions. It has the large shopping cart and hint buttons on the lower portion of the squares. These make it difficult to read the lower squares without having to slide it back and forth. Please make them smaller and put at the top. There is a button to “pencil in” hints. This is worthless because after you leave the square the note disappears and doesn’t return. I had hoped it would be like the sudoku games where you can see your notes while figuring out what goes in which square. It doesn’t even show back up when you click on the pencil button again. Please fix those issues and it will be much better.You also need a way to earn hints. Many people, including me, don’t pay money in a game.

I like this game because it is challenging and I love logic puzzles. However, there are several things about this game that I do NOT like and/or believe needs to be fixed (ergo, I only gave it 3 stars). The first thing is the amount of ads. I get that you need to have ads for your sponsors, but that MANY ads that FREQUENTLY (i.e., as soon as I open a puzzle, every other time I guess either right or wrong, etc.) is a bit much. The second, and essentially the BIGGEST, issue is how the actual game is formatted. What I mean by that is that there are some puzzles that fit just fine on my phone screen, but for much larger puzzles, I often times have to scroll back and forth, which wouldn't be so bad if I could turn my phone landscape and play the game that way. Also, I tried playing this game on my iPad (since the app CLAIMED that it is iPad compatible), but it was only formatted to an iPhone screen (also, I still couldn't turn my iPad landscape for easier gameplay). If it weren't for those two issues, along with the fact that there's no way to get more hints except to PAY for them, I would give this game 5 stars. If these problems are fixed, then I will go back into the App Store and change my review.

I really enjoyed playing this game until around level 60 or so. At that point you have to start guessing the words, which is fine, but the game only accepts the one correct word. No synonyms or closely associated words or anything. So if you put “car” instead of “vehicle”, you lose a life. And you only get 3 lives before you start having to watch 45sec+ videos in order to continue. Same with hints. I paid $5.99 to get rid of the excessive ads… maybe add unlimited lives and/or hints to that if the game format isn’t going to be changed. But it really would be great if I didn’t lose a life for putting “long bow” instead of “longbow.” Edit 3/27: Bumping it up to 4 stars because, at nearly Level 300, it has improved… at least logically. Most games are completed with 0-1 errors, occasionally 2. Every so often I have to watch King Robert or the woman who can control plants, it would just be nice if they were only 15 seconds long. 30 tops. I mainly came here because I had a random idea to suggest: after each level, do a quick 1 to 5 star survey on the puzzle (with the option to skip it, since some people just don’t like doing those things). 1 for easy up to 5 for difficult, and 1 for boring up to 5 for fun. I don’t know how many people are creating the puzzles, but they might want to know if players think they’re challenging and engaging? So I hope someone from Hitapps will read this and it’ll be taken into consideration!SECOND EDIT 4/12: Having to take a star off again because some genius decided to introduce a “haha, just kidding!” element to the game at level 427. You will be told in a hint that something that you were told in a previous hint is false. You can’t give false information in a logic puzzle, especially one with a limited number of lives! That’s… kind of illogical.

Fun game overall. Puzzles are challenging but not so much that they can’t be figured out with a little thinking. But the attention to detail is not very high. In the “animals” puzzle, the clue stated “Rabbit can be found in Column B” but the entire B column was full. So at that point it was a guessing game as to where it actually was at. The Ads are extremely frustrating. Having the banner ad right below the Enter key when typing has led to multiple ads being opened. As well as the full screen ads that pop up mid game. I could understand after a puzzle or two, but mid level breaks the concentration so easily. Then the keyboard itself is not very responsive. Often times multiples of letters get inserted, or no letter at all. Which if not paying attention, leads to incorrect answers and a loss of lives. Also the layout is annoying at times. Having to scroll side to side incessantly to see answers doesn’t help. It’s harder to keep track of info that way. Being able to switch to a landscape mode would improve this aspect greatly. Good game. Could be great. But needs some help rounding off the edges.
