I love this game, but there are two issues. I'm a user with limited/low vision, and both of these issues affect my ability to play the game. 1. Haptic vibration: In the past I relied on this game's haptic vibrations to tell me when I've run out of number matching options. In the past there was 1 buzz when a match was made, and then 3 buzzes when there are no more matches than can be made with the current number set. Since the update before the latest, the only time the haptic vibrations happen are when you make a number match. The 3 buzzes that tell you you're out of matches are gone, making this game more complicated & frustrating. It's one thing to know there are more matches and just not see them, but an entirely different thing entirely to flounder through the game trying to find matches when there aren't any left. Please bring the 3-buzz haptic vibrations back so I can play this game again. Legitimately, I can't play the game without those vibrations because of my vision. Dark mode: I understand other folks have requested a dark mode setting in the reviews. I'm also one of those folks who'd like a dark mode. There are times when the vibrant whiteness makes it harder for my eyes to focus, and having a dark mode would be really helpful/let me play the game longer without my eyes getting tired. Please read my review & consider fixing these issues. Thank you.
What I was looking for: engaging, easy pasttime game. Odd at 1st I occasionally achieved very high scores (4000's). After latest app update never a high score like that. This game got MUCH harder. Now it's rare to reach level 2 even. The ad time is fair at the free level apart from opting to reload available hints (so no hints, not worth it). Early on hints seemed to "recharge" eventually? No longer. Update: figuring I have little to lose, I've allowed updates to this app recently. My woes are worse. It seems even harder now ☹️, and ads seem to be slightly more frequent (but don't last very long. It's become just about not enjoyable, on the brink of uninstalling...update: still addictive & fun. I hadn't updated in quite a while, everything was fine. Recently updated; now frequently closes abruptly when completing a stage. I've recently reached level 10 IIRC.
I RARELY pay for apps, and I’ve never written a review, but here I am now. I really loved this game when I first downloaded it, it’s right up my alley- I love numbers, I like a realistic challenge, and I hate ads, so I splurged I upgraded for the few dollars. I don’t regret it, but I definitely wish there were more challenge options. I finished the first puzzle challenge quickly, and assumed there would be another challenge lined up, but I had to wait almost a week to get another challenge which was disappointing, especially because I paid into it. I also feel like there should be different level options, outside of the challenges. Once you get the hang of the game the easier boards are really easy to complete. There should be some other incentives to keep playing. I have no suggestions on how to improve it other than overall more avenues to play. Maybe challenge other players? Maybe do a timed challenge? I’m not that creative, but I’m sure others can suggest ideas. I only gave this three stars because usually when you pay for a game it makes it worthwhile, and I feel this isn’t. I really enjoy the game, but once the challenges are complete it looses its pizzazz, and the wait time to receive the next challenge is way too long. I love the game though!
I installed this game cause it seemed really interesting and fun to play, which it is. It gives my something to do while keeping my hands and mind busy. However it wasn’t until recently that I the sheer amount of ads as become down right annoying. Now I’m fine with the occasional ad like for example anytime you finish a level or every once in a while when adding more numbers. What I don’t like is that I get an ad whenever I leave the app and come back. Like I’ll level the app for like 5 seconds and when it asks if I would like to continue the level I’m on I get an ad, now this would be fine if it was every once in a while or if you’re out of the app for an extended amount of time but it’s every single time. Not to mention that when you finish a level you get an ad (which again I’m fine with) but when you get a reward after finishing a certain amount of level and then start a new level you get another ad which leaves instances where you are literally getting back to back ads without any actual gameplay. I’m not going to uninstall the game as it is fun to play but I ask please if there’s anyway to decrease the amount of ads id be really grateful because it’s starting to get ridiculous.
I generally prefer to play this game when there’s a event so I was excited to see the Halloween event. Seems like they’ve made the game harder but in a stupid way. I don’t generally lose these event games, even the hard ones, but now I am and it’s because the game is purposely giving me garbage. I add a new numbers and there’s literally no match, I even hit the hint button to double check. Fine, get more numbers and it’s an exact copy of the previous numbers. Sure there’re some matches but no way to clear the board, and it just goes on an on like this. Junk numbers you can’t match to anything or exact copies of the line above. I like a challenge but I also don’t like games that cheat. This game is purposely giving numbers you can’t win with probably so they can get you to play the level over and over again and bombard you with ads. I see a point in many “free” games where they transition from a fun game that makes money by making you watch occasional ads to a greedy game that does whatever it can to make you buy things or make you watch a ton of ads to the point the game is no longer playable. This game is getting to that point for me.
It’s an enjoyable game, but it feels like a first version. It would be SO much more fun if there were extras. I would feel like I could have more control over the strategy of the thing rather than depending on luck. Of course there’s some thinking and strategy involved, if you’re careful with the order you eliminate numbers then you might have more possibilities, but ultimately it comes down to whether or not the numbers you need are in the right place. I wish there was an undo button. I wish I could earn extras like a swap button. I wish new numbers would automatically populate once there were no more possible matches. I wish extras would be rewarded for things like achieving a new high score, playing daily, and so on. I hate being handicap and only being able to get so far in a game because certain numbers are set in stone. I will basically never pay for getting rid of the ads because the only way to earn hints is to watch an ad anyway, and all I have to do to not be bothered with ads the rest of the time is turn off my wifi and data.
I’ve been playing this app for months. I really enjoy it and use it as a way to wind down and exercise my brain at the end of the day. I played it for a long time before I purchased the ad free version. As soon as I purchased the ad free version it got really weird. It was like all along I had been building my skill level and increasing my high scores and daily scores and feeling challenged constantly - then as soon as I paid for it things stopped matching up (like there were legitimately a significantly lower number of matches) and I was only getting scores in the 100 to 300 range where before I was getting the scores as high as 7000. it’s like it completely stopped being challenging at a level that it was previously. I don’t understand this but I’m not receiving satisfaction or exercise from playing the game anymore. that used to be that one round could go on and on with different combinations and different levels but as soon as I paid for the game that all stopped.
Ok I downloaded this game a couple days ago and I’ve been playing everyday, it’s a great game and makes me think I love it lol. Two things I don’t love however is the ads, good lord it’s so many ads in this game. Every time I finish a game it’s an ad even if I click the “+” button I get an ad…..every….time. I get that the app is free and that’s the way of supporting the app but too many ads can make the game unbearable to play. It’s so many ads to the point where I just close out the game completely for the day. The next problem is sometimes the only way to progress is to press the hint button to clear a pair you tried and know should work. It will also randomly end even when you try to select valid pairs so please fix the adjacent detection. This even goes back to the ad problem because even though i know a pair should work and then it doesn’t I have to click the hint button resulting in watching multiple ads just to get a hint on a pair that I’ve already tried. If these problems are fixed this could possibly be a 5/5 game.
I really like the concept of this game BUT I agree with the other players…the game doesn’t allow matches until it suddenly does, even though the board stays the same. The tutorial is basic at best which isn’t a bad thing except that it doesn’t even explain the two buttons below the board. Also, I've been noticing that the exact same numbers left on the board are then added after I hit the + sign to add more numbers. As an example, the board left with mostly 7s and 8s is then filled with more 7s and 8s without a single 3 or 2. It wouldn’t be bad if I could match the 7s and 8s but they never line up in any direction. This happened to me through a few games…and I also noticed that some numbers were missing altogether each time that happened. That doesn’t seem random, it seems that it’s happening by design. I’m a new player…first day and I paid to remove ads!…but the problems and inconsistencies are so noticeable after one day that I felt the need to gripe about it. Please fix your game because this would be a game I would play daily.
Well, it’s a fun, simple little game. Uncomplicated. I was hoping to pay for an ad-free version because ads these days are super annoying with multi-part timesd sections. The longer an ad is, the less likely I will ever buy the thing being advertised, or anything by that advertiser, and it’s not long before I delete the app that keeps showing me ads like that. Tapping the “go ad-free” area, I was dismayed to see that the only option for ad-free is a MONTHLY FEE of $3.99. With tax that’d be over $50 per year. This is how things are now. You can’t just pay for a product and use it. They want you on the hook so you can pay and pay and pay. Hopefully you’ll forget to cancel it when you stop playing. An app like this used to be $3.99, period. No way will I ever pay a subscription fee for such a thing. And now that I know it’s the only option, I will not play the “free” version either, because that also monetizes ME as the user by forcing me to watch ads. I’m sick and tired of simple games with multiple and frequent long ads. Boo.
ok ive never written a review on an app before bc i wasnt born in 50BC but im writing this now bc this app has soooo much potential. its very fun and addictive and geting me thinking and i love it, there are just a few things that im beggging to be changed: 1. undo button, sometimes i match some numbers and realize right after that there was a way better move i could’ve made and its sooo frustrating. i know its not like part of the game or whatever but i really think it would make it more enjoyable to play and it could be like the hint button where you just watch another ad which means more money and more people playing the app. winwin. 2. consider not having a plus button and instead it just automatically does it when there are no more possible matches. i feel like for me this would make way more sense and would just make it less annoying. 3. dark modeeeee! this would just make it more fun to play. ok anyway thankyouuuu! love the app!
This game is great! I don’t normally do any challenges but I do the daily game every day. I love this game. And the ads haven’t been too bad because normally, I can get out of them pretty quickly. The ability to delete out of the ads is better with this game than most. By the way, I will NEVER buy anything from these ads so they waste a lot of time. But, lately the bra ads are too much. They are long and you cannot get out of them. If they don’t stop soon, I will be deleting this game. You can but an ad free version but it’s $4.99 which is too much. I’d pay $3. I think that’s reasonable. Great game so if you haven’t played it, you should try it. I love number games and word games but don’t play a lot of them because of the ads you can’t get out of.
I have been playing this game for many years. I loved that it kept me thinking, and I loved the special events. That is, until recently. The special events used to be 9 segments to complete, then would gradually go up to 16 segments to complete that phase. Well, some Einstein at the game apparently decided that wasn’t enough. So, now in order to complete the special event, you have 3 phases with 25 segments each! Are you kidding?! That’s 75 segments to collect a little postcard? This used to be a fun, enjoyable game that I’ve played to keep my brain strong and be entertained. But now, it’s just a nuisance! Thanks for destroying something that was entertaining and beautiful, and turning it into something that is a punch in the gut. When the change started four events ago, I thought it was probably a fluke. But, it now seems that it is here to stay. Thanks, but no thanks! I will be deleting this game and finding something comparable to what this game USED TO BE!!
I like the concept of the game but it sure is hard to enjoy the app. I’ll not comment on the number of ads - that has been well by others. My problem is with the banners. After completing a level when you go the claim your “prize” there is a banner sitting on top of the executable “continue” button. Rotating (more on that later) doesn’t solve the problem the banner continues to cover the button. The only way to continue is to restart the ap - even clicking on the banner doesn’t make the banner go away (it just launches something else to close). Restarting after every completed level is, well a non-starter. I play the game on an iPad mostly in landscape orientation. About 3/4 of the time after one of the frequent ads play (in landscape) the game flips to portrait even though the iPad remains in landscape. It shouldn’t do that. Between all the ads and the other problems I question whether it is even worth continuing to play.
***Update*** In response to developer, I totally get the need for ads. I don’t mind them per se, however, the significant increase as of late has decreased my enjoyment. The ads I see have almost tripled from just two or three weeks ago. Before, the ads would slow play down a bit but now it’s grinding play down to a crawl. It can be hard to stay engaged. I keep trying to come back to game to re-engage but literally every time I use the + feature (when no matches are left) I must watch a 30-60 second ad. When it was just the hints feature that generated an ad, it was much better. I am honestly now to the point of deleting game. **** Great game. I use it to unwind and settle my brain. Would have given 5 stars but in the last week the number of ads have jumped WAY up. Now I get an ad every time I use the + button. Previously it only had ads for using the hints. Won’t stop playing but the increase in ads is distracting.
I just read a few reviews and I saw some folk complaining about having to press the add more button and that they wanted it to automatically do it. While I was reading I learned that I play very differently then a lot of you. For example I lay out all the numbers right at the beginning then pair from there. Not having access to the add button would ruing the game for me and probably a few others I saw in the reviews who also played this way. On another note, while not being able to undo has been frustrating countless amounts of times it’s made me better and more patient. If I want to beat my high score I know I can’t rush my move, I have to be strategic. There’s no 30sec video that’ll save me from one wrong move. That being said there could totally be an option to choose your level. It would accommodate everyone’s play style.
This is a fun game that makes you think and strategize. I’m not sure if it’s my phone or the app. But when I play the game it eventually starts lagging. None of my other apps do this. I might delete and redownload it but I don’t want to lose my progress. I don’t see a way to save it through Game Center. Also I think there should be an undo button. At least three undo per stage. I don’t agree with another review saying the undo button should replace the + button. Sometimes I want to keep numbers for the next round. I see some people are confused on the rules. I like the rules, but I did have to go over the tutorial a few times to understand them. It should be more detailed and specifically show examples of ALL the possible ways to match number. I don’t know what you can do about the ads, but I think the + button shouldn’t trigger an ad. Maybe just between stages or entire new game.
I generally play the free version of games except for two reasons. 1) I really like the game or 2) the ads are SUPER ANNOYING, like popping up in the middle of play. This game happens to be both, so I purchased the ad-free version of the game. I’d give it more stars if there was a benefit to purchasing the game other than getting rid of the ads. With the paid version, hints are unlimited and free, but you still earn “coins” after each game. What are the coins for? There’s absolutely nothing to spend them on in the paid version. They just keep piling up for no reason. Why not offer the option to use the coins to purchase “boosts” like a “shuffle” button, or “swap two numbers”? Finally, for the daily challenges why does the game just end once you’ve hit the target? Why not allow the option to keep playing after you hit the daily target? I’d spend some of my useless coins on that.
I really enjoy this app – until now. I recently purchased the iPhone 15 Pro Max. It has the 17.4.1 iOS update. Ever since this update I cannot open the app. It just sits there on the opening screen (the one that says Easybrain) and then it closes. However if I get to the opening screen where the little icon shows up, then no problem. Yes, I’ve forced the app to close; I’ve shut down the phone and restarted it; I deleted the app (you know getting rid of the high score) re-downloaded and still can’t open it. THAT IS until the app sends me the notification that it has new numbers for me. Then it opens like a charm. I’m still giving it a five star review because WHEN I can play it, I really really enjoy it.
As other are saying, the newest update (especially on the daily challenge) ruined the game. You used to start with 3 lines which you could double and make your matches very efficiently. Now with the 3.5 lines, that no longer works. I know the developers have made it intentionally harder and more challenging, but as my daily fix I used to simply do the daily challenges to get my star. I have not missed since last October, but found the last two days of this October (when they made the update) the worst two days of playing. I didn’t mind the extra ads, but this update has made me delete the game. To the developers, I have read your comments about how you have no intention of reversing the change. That’s fine, but realize you have lost a lot of customers who found it terrible and are just deleting the game as I am. You do not need to respond to this review, as I know you have your canned response and I will never read it anyways.
There are no real people in the tournaments. Except for myself. All the others listed are bots. Sorry, you think that you have to make others think differently. No matter how hard I try to gain higher points, the bots always win. Just not fair. As soon as I make my way up the ladder it is not long before I am knocked back down. I am sure you won’t post this for others to see since all the other comments are fake. If this is true than explain why when I gain over another player, someone comes along two seconds later and knocks me back down. Explain why it is I never have a 100,000 game. Yet so many others do. The game must be rigged. I keep trying and losing.
firstly, agreeing with some other reviews i've seen, we need a dark mode. desperately. secondly, my good friend and i both play this game (she actually introduced me) same game, same updated version, same everything, EXCEPT the customization. i am able to use the gold star tokens from daily challenges to buy colors for the numbers, grid, selection, and cells, while my friend's game simply has no colors to buy. she is stuck with the default black numbers and there's no way to change it or get new colors or anything. we made certain that we have the same game, and we both have iphones (hers is actually newer) so this is both confusing and frustrating. thirdly, about the gold tokens and colors. i need more options. the color selection is great, but once you get all of them, there's nothing left to buy so you keep collecting these coin token things after they basically become pointless and worthless to collect. because of this, i've stopped playing the daily challenges and play the game much less than when i was saving up for the colors. hopefully the devs are already working on at least one of these things.
What happened to the game vibrating when you have no more matches to signify to add more numbers? This came about a week ago that I no longer have that tattletale prompting me that there are no more matches. I haven’t seen a deletion of this feature in any of the app update notes. I agree with many of the other users that there should be an undo button. However, I also disagree with them at the same time. A little strategy and pre planning go along way from needing an undo button. I get frustrated with myself, not the game, when I notice too late a better strategy. Bring back the vibration and I’ll boost my review to 5 stars 😂
I have loved the game ever since my husband found it. BUT since around June 2024, the tournament game freezes my iPad to the point where I can’t even close the app. To unfreeze my iPad I have to click the side button. I am not able to close the game or even go to my menu screen of the iPad. Tonight was the worst. The usual side button did not work. I waited and my iPad would not respond for me to open it. No finger print, password, nothing. I had to plug in the charger to get a response from my device. All the other games are okay, but Tournament always freezes my iPad. It happens either after an ad or if I’m not matching for close to a minute or so (I’m thinking o my next best move here). I have the latest version and my device is updated. Please fix before it totally crashes my iPad. Thanks
I really enjoy this game, as it gives my brain a bit of a challenge, without requiring TOO much deep thought. However, it seems that recently, the iPad version has become really unstable. First, after almost every ad that plays, the app will crash, then try to restart, and ultimately hang, so I end up having to force close it and relaunch the app. I’ve also had it crash on me in the middle of game play, where again, I would have to force close the game and relaunch it. The iPhone version doesn’t seem to have these problems. Just in case it was an issue with the new Stage Manager in iPadOS 16, I’ve tried turning that off, and that didn’t seem to make any difference. Please fix whatever is different on the iPad version, so that it’s as stable as the iPhone version. I’ll come back and revise my rating when you do that.
I really like this game but I came to the reviews to see if anyone else was having trouble trying to figure out the directions. The options for matches on the end of the rows seem like they should work, but only some of them will work, sometimes. I reviewed both sections suggested, but it doesn’t seem like there is a lot of rhyme or reason why some work and some do not work. Now that I see that a lot of people are having the same issue, it’s a bit frustrating, since it seems like the game wants you to watch more ads instead of allowing you to select the matches that should be available. I really hope the directions are updated or the game is fixed because the game is enjoyable, aside from that.
This game used to be fun, me and my family play it a lot and see who could get a higher score. I currently play it on 2 phones with one having a high score of 150,000 and the other 146,000. The game starts to not put out good numbers in the upper stages and if I have guesses and use them it’s like they used it on the wrong numbers, ultimately making me add rows. The difficulty used to be amusing but now it seems like I have to always restart because it didn’t want to start off right. It seems like is used to be an algorithm for the numbers it puts out, now it seems like it just gives me what it wants to, it doesn’t care if it’s matches to it or not. It also feels like if I don’t watch the adds it won’t give me good numbers, because every time an add pop up I just hurry and close out the app and go back to it.(that seems quicker in my opinion than watching an add with no skip button)
I loved this game for winding down - contained a level of brain challenge with no stress of time limits. Good to end the day. But now you’ve added all sorts of flashy stuff, which is extremely distracting to the point that I do not want to play it. Two stars is generous with this update! What is extra disappointing is that much of the flash pertains to score. Who plays this game for scores? Yes, it is interesting to get through to additional levels, but it is not a game of increasing skill - too much chance of the “draw” for that. The update’s color changes for numbers, likewise, did nothing to add to the game, just another distraction with no discernible purpose. Dump this and bring back the simplicity! Because I used to enjoy it so much, I may check back occasionally to see if you have reverted, but I will NOT be playing this numbers game in its current state.
I absolutely love this game. It worked fine at first on my iPad then suddenly when an ad would run after I hit +. It would go back to the last screen and then close out the game entirely. Then I would have to open it it again and it would open the last game with the last 2 matching numbers for me to click again. Then I would hit + and it would load new numbers again until it was time for the next ad and the same cycle would repeat. I have removed the app and reinstalled it several times and it keeps doing it. Very frustrating. My iPad is an older one so perhaps it’s a compatibility issue in which case is bummer since I really do love this game.
I just downloaded this game the other day and enjoy it other than the fact that after playing it for a while it is still like in the tutorial mode where it is giving hints automatically. It’s hard to really challenge myself when every few seconds it highlights matches available to me (even when I’m not asking for a hint). My husband has the game but his doesn’t do this anymore so I’m not sure why it is still giving hints without asking for it. If there is a way to turn this off please let me know as I’ve searched the settings but can’t find anything. Other than that one thing- I love everything else about the game and I’m addicted!!
I came to give a 5 star review… but I just updated and there’s something missing now… I got really used to my phone vibrating and animated plus button automatically when there are no pairs remaining - after the update it took me a few frustrated games to realize that I wasn’t just missing it, it wasn’t happening anymore. I thought maybe the devs decided to make it optional or something (I could see where some users may prefer to notice this on their own) but I checked the settings, and there is not a way to turn it back on. I also agree with many other users that an undo feature would be nice. And dark mode would be appreciated and would not require much effort on the development side.
I love the game and love trying to raise my personal scores but like with so many other game designs people learn how to swoop scores (play offline then come in at the last minute with ridiculous scores), or just cheat with other programs. Thanks for having the highest-score game within the tournament because that makes these gaming misbehaviors bloody obvious. Request: Can you make it optional to join or not join a tournament? I want to opt out of any events, including all tournaments, until you can develop a fix. I would have given the game a five because I enjoy it overall, but because of the above I’m giving it a four. It just takes the fun out of it! Keep programming!
Love this game! It definitely is addicting. I prefer to add all of the numbers at the beginning as it doubles whatever if any numbers are on the board. This way I end up with 48 rows (3x2x2x2x2) and more numbers for a higher score. I wish the tutorial explained how some pairings yield much higher scores, such as 28 points versus 2, 4 or 8. My final move at the end of my high game added 348 points but there is no explanation as to why. Also, what is the highest possible score? Not knowing that makes it impossible to gauge how well I’m doing versus my potential. My high game so far is 3,743 but I have no context except as compared to my own scores. Thank you!
i love this app. this app is my candy crush. i play it every night before bed, and it’s the first game i go to if i want to play any games during the day as well. Literally as soon as i downloaded this game it’s like none of my other games mattered anymore; i’ll try and play my old games and will stop five minutes in and come back to this one because i love it so much. It’s perfect for my neurodivergent brain especially when trying to calm down so i can sleep. i am BEGGING for a Dark Mode though. like the one you guys have on the sudoku and killer sudoku app. please please add that to this game as well.
This is a simple game, just engaging enough to kill time while not taking up your entire focus. The free version inundates you with ads so as to make it very difficult to play. Do you want to play? You have to watch an advertisement first. Do you want a clue? Have to watch an advertisement first. Do you want to use a basic and integral mechanic of the game. You have to watch an advertisement. Did your gameplay get disrupted and you had answer a call, reply to a text or switch away from the game for any reason for any amount of time? You have to watch an advertisement in return. Of course you could pay $5 US to remove the advertisements. I don’t think the quality of the game is reflected in that price, others may feel differently. Myself, I have chosen to uninstall it instead.
The idea of this game was great! I agree that it could use some of the improvements mentioned in other reviews such as an undo button and more consistency. These aren’t the reasons for the bad review, though. This game OVERHEATS my phone like you would not believe! My phone has never overheated from any app before. A couple rounds played amidst the excessive ads (seriously, I’ve never seen so many ads in a game before!!) causes the app to slow, freeze, and crash. I liked the game to the point where I really wanted to ignore these issues but these aren’t the types of issues that one can ignore! Ultimately, I had to delete the app. (I considered paying to remove the ads but the price was not worth the gameplay improvements that still need to be made and without full insurance that this would fix the crashing and overheating issues.)
The game is amazing I’ve spent over an hour on it for every day the past week but the part that annoys me is that the more you play the more as you get like I could press new game and it will send me an ad then i will x out of it then I will press new game again and it will send me another ad like before when I first started playing and I press The + It wouldn’t send me an ad but now every time I press the + it sends me an ad. The more you play the more how to get it and that’s the only thing I don’t really like about this game. I also wish that there was a reverse but because I usually always realize a better match after I already did one ha ha. Great game nonetheless
I enjoy the game but when I spend as much time watching adverts as I do playing there is a problem. There does not need to be an advertisement every time you click the “Hint”, “Add More Numbers”, enter back into the game after checking an email or text message, or after completing the game and trying to see your score. This over an overkill of advertisements takes away any enjoyment of the game and does not allow for someone to get into a flow. I understand the need for advertisements but cutting them down to before or after the game or once in the middle of the game is plenty. Please change this, otherwise I will delete the game and I’m certain others will or have as well.
I’ve never paid to get rid of ads or written a review on a game before, but here I go. At the top center of the game, I have 577 coins. How am I supposed to use these? I’ve clicked on everything and nothing happens or explains their use. Also, there needs to be a reason to continue playing this game besides the tournaments (which I love BTW). Would love to be able to see my stats on one page, i.e., best score, current winning streak, longest winning streak, number of games played, wins & win rate percentage. Also, what is my screen/player name? I can’t find it anywhere or change it. But, I really do love this game and want to beat my best score of 55,430!
The half row addition at the bottom has ruined the game for me. I play this as a distraction for my ADHD. The changes completely destroy the patterns and I now have to focus on the numbers instead, which isn’t what made the game interesting for me when I found it. Having paid to get rid of the ads, it’s upsetting to see your response that the recent changes will not be reversed, as this is no longer the same game I paid for. At least give us the option of classic and new modes so I can still play the game I bought. UPDATE: thank you for completely ignoring my actual complaint in your response and doubling down on your idiotic change. I do not want it. This is not the game I paid for. Change it back or give me a refund. Simple. Also, the patronizing tone about strategy is not appropriate or acceptable.
I dig the game and paid for it. Been playing for about a year now. Other than needing an undo once button, it’s great. But the tournament thing. On the leaderboard, I see everybody with their computer-generated names ranked by score. Nifty! My girlfriend plays the game too, so I asked her where she ranked. This led to a quite unfortunate realization: the leaderboard is apparently largely if not complete fiction. Nowhere could I find my girlfriend on it. She was 35th in her game on her phone. I was 18th in my game on my phone. Yet, I could not find her and she could not find me. We even tried to find each other’s exact score and they weren’t there. Very curious. So my question in regard to my leaderboard position of 18th. 18th of what, exactly? Not cool, folks….
I so rarely pay for any ad free version but this one is well worth it. I play the game anywhere and everywhere. I like the tournaments best and challenges second best. But the Tournament players names in the standings are obviously made up so I don’t believe I’m contesting against flesh and blood brains. As if I’m playing against fantasy players. So I wonder if the tournaments are truly tournaments or just a game generated standing. My standing is always ‘Me’ and so does my standing show up on other players or am I playing artificial contestants and not real players? It’s obvious because the names are all in similar form which is never seen in other contests.
I wrote a review a week ago because adds would pop up repeatedly while I was matching numbers - not just when I hit the plus button. This has since been resolved - so much better!! I love this game and don’t think changes are needed: 1. No undo button teaches you to be more careful when making a match. It motivates improving your observation skills. 2. The plus button is perfect. I don’t want numbers auto added when no matches are left. I like having to check and improve my analysis skills 3. No need to line up numbers when adding to make matches easy. You can totally match the numbers when they aren’t line up! It’s good enforcer for learning to pay attention. 4. If no matches are available, totally fine. We don’t always have to win - I prefer a challenge and not always winning to it being incredibly easy and never losing. To compromise you could create an easy mode with the changes and then medium that keeps it as is.
The game itself is extremely fun but suffers from some clear setbacks The tutorial is somewhat helpful but does not distinctly describe the rules about tile elimination in terms of positioning: Occasionally you can have a tile in the middle of the board match with something you wouldn’t expect, etc. maybe add some clear rules about what makes two tiles a match (in terms of positioning!!) I feel this would help newer players learn the game. While the daily challenge should be a challenge, if there is someone who is a freak and needs to complete all of the daily challenges from the past, the point threshold can be slightly overkill on some of the levels. I know this defeats the purpose of it being a “challenge” but maybe for someone trying to complete the past daily challenges, lower the point threshold for completion. Possibly add an undo feature with uses similar to the hint button in order to prevent users from wasting their time in an un winnable game. Again this is a great game and has a lot of potential!
Yes, of course a free app has ads, and yes, there is an option to pay to remove ads. I have never had a problem with that & have purchased that for different games. However, for this game, you can’t even play enough to see if it is worth the ad removal, because it is in ad overload!!! I imagine I am like most, play the game first before “paying” for the game (ie. remove ads). With this game, that is NOT an option, with the ad overload. Sure, works great for them if they can fool people into immediately purchasing the “remove ads”, but doubt it is a lot, especially when you can’t get to a new game without ad after ad after ad, for just the next game! The only way to stop the ads is to just close the app and keep it closed. Oh, and delete it. And then come here to leave a review to save others from the hassle. Pay close attention to the developers responses too. I moved this game down to 1 star after their response to my review - “you can go to settings to buy the “remove ad” option”. Just proof that they really do not care about their game, but just want your money. It seemed so promising, but not worth the time, unless you want to just watch ads and not play.
I enjoy puzzle games. This one is a very good one! However, I think you could improve the name of the game… something like “hiding in plain sight” comes to mind. That seems to describe my experience with this game. I hesitate to say this… I almost don’t mind watching an advertisement in order to get a few hints, because I have quite a bit of trouble finding all the number pairs. Also, because this game is very different from any other game I’ve played before, I find that strategy is not intuitive. Could you add another level to the instructions to provide some strategy hints?
I use to love this game but it is not like use to be. Initially game would start out with 3 lines of numbers I could tap and get another 3 lines of numbers. It was fun and challenging working 6 lines. If needed I could tap and add more lines to try and finish clearing all the number before running out of chances. Now the puzzle starts with 4 1/2 lines and each time I tap it adds another 4 lines. Puzzle becomes so big and long it is impossible to clear and is actually overwhelming. If something does not change back to the way it was I have no interest in playing any more. Not fun when it is impossible to clear the numbers and continue to accumulate points. Always resets to 0 because I have not been able to complete one puzzle
I have been playing this game for over a year and absolutely loved it. I love numbers any way shape or form I can use them. Recently, every time an ad runs either the game freezes and you have to stop or it will completely freeze so that I have to shut off my device and reboot it or it goes back to the beginning and it says continue game? There’s been a couple of times where the game I was playing has been completely lost. I don’t understand what’s happened it was great and now it’s not working right. Have the designers abandoned it; if they haven’t, please help because I really do love this great game.
It has turned into an ad machine where it delivers ads between almost every level. I tested it for 30 minutes of playing and it took over my screen with an ad 24 times. In most cases the ad cannot be immediately dismissed and the the dismisssl button is tiny, hard to see, and moved from the count down clock. You are forced to spend a significant percentage of your time watching ads. Also, the ads are all games they want you to download. Why do they need your location information? While this game can be entertaining, the cons grossly outweigh the pros. And it’s gotten much much worse in the past few updates. Unless this changes in the next little while, I’ll definitely be deleting it.
I really enjoyed this game. It was part of my calm wake-up routine. Unfortunately, the past week or so, it has been virtually unplayable. The ads have been causing the game to lag and freeze, meaning I would have to restart the entire game several times to finish one level. It eats up my battery and makes my phone hot. The glitches it causes interfere with using my phone even after closing the game, making me restart my phone entirely sometimes. Not to mention there are so many ads now that I’ll often get several back-to-back while trying to play. Needless to say it no longer provides the calm brain wake-up it used to. Finally just uninstalled it completely. A real shame. It was a great game once you figured out how the more obscure matches worked.
