I LOVE THE GAME BUT PLEASE LET ME PAY TO REMOVE ADS
The concept is very unique, the puzzles are fun and satisfying, and the art and music are well done. This is one of the nicer puzzle games I have found on mobile, except for the horrible ads that constantly interrupt the gameplay. I have to close the app and open it again every single time I complete a puzzle, or else I will be bombarded with nonstop ads. The ads are loud and annoying, and some of them require you to wait 30+ seconds before you can skip them. This intrusive and frustrating method of monetization makes the game borderline unplayable. I understand that the devs need to make money somehow… but the vast majority of games like this give the players an option to pay a few dollars to remove the ads!! It’s baffling to me that this feature which is standard for most mobile games is not available. I would gladly pay money for this! I would even consider paying for a monthly subscription to support the developers who add new puzzles to the game daily! I never thought I would be ASKING a developer to add microtransactions to a game, but please consider allowing players to purchase something to remove ads. I literally want to give this game my money but it’s impossible to do that for some reason.
I’ve been wanting to download this game for a while and I finally did. I’m really enjoying it so far and I’m hoping it will get harder later on. I, so far, have made the diamond, the butterfly, and the swan. I know I’m going to be playing this a lot more. The one thing I would change so far is how the screen moves when you’ve completed one section. I think it would be nicer if it either zoomed out or let us move it. Thank you for putting this into consideration, I would love to see this changed in the future. However, this is still an amazing, calm game. Thank you!
Overwhelmed with ads; no way to reduce/eliminate ads
Promoting this app as a tool for ASMR or stress relief is ludicrous. Gameplay is interrupted by ads not only at the start & end of every puzzle, but also throughout a puzzle. Even with the simplest of the puzzles that takes one minute to complete, you’re still likely to watch ads* that cumulatively run a minute and a half. The second star is simply my acknowledgment that the gameplay itself was great. Unfortunately the ads were so excessive that enjoying the gameplay iwas buried by my frustration. At the start the user is teased with a promise of new features unlocking after completing a certain number of puzzles. Since the gameplay is enjoyable, I gritted through ad after ad in the hope I’d encounter a way to at least reduce the frequency of ads. But it’s simply not an option. Most simply put, this is a free game that is made truly unpalatable by excessive ads. I’d pay for this app outright, as again I did find the game itself well done. I’d also make an in-app purchase if it was available. But given the absence of either option, I’ve deleted the app and hope to find a similar one that is not stifled by excessive ads. *I timed my last three puzzles. As I expected, each minute of actual gameplay results in approximately a minute and half of ads!
It’s honestly a really fun game, and the calming music is a wonderful touch, but holy moly the ADS. I like that there are no “lives”, so if for example you connect the wrong dots you don’t penalized and can easily remove it and continue going without having to start over. However, after every little section of the puzzle, there’s almost always an ad and it’s just annoying. I wish the developers would listen to the reviews and cut down on the number of ads because I see I’m not the only one upset about this. I understand why free apps have ads, but this is hands down the most ad-riddled app I’ve ever come across. It’s frustrating and doesn’t make me want to play it because by the 7th ad I come across in less than 10 minutes, I’m too annoyed to want to keep playing. Such a shame because it’s an enjoyable game otherwise
This is a great game but could do with some improvements. I’ve done over 500 puzzles and it’s annoying to have to scroll through those puzzles every time I open the app just to get to the puzzles I haven’t done. I wish the game auto-scrolled you to the first unfinished level and then let you scroll back if you want to replay levels. Also why have “daily” puzzles if you’re not going to add them daily? There haven’t been daily puzzles added since the end of June 2021. It’s now August. And worse yet, there aren’t even any old daily puzzles past April 1 so I can’t even just go backwards in the calendar while I wait for them to upload 2 months worth of “daily” puzzles. And I just discovered that level 555 has a glitch that makes it impossible to complete.
I was so excited to find this game because it was the closest one I’ve found to the NYT game “vertex”. The puzzles on this one are a lot easier but I still was happy to find something to help my vertex addiction (NYT only gives out one puzzle a day). But after a couple minutes of playing I got so bummed out when I realized there were ads and not even an option to turn them off. There are so many ads in this game you can’t even complete one puzzle without going through at least 4-5 of them and that’s on a small one. The larger ones you will be going through double maybe more. Every couple moves brings you to an ad, at least they give you the option to skip after watching some of it but still. Then sometimes after completing a puzzle or starting a new one you have to watch another ad. Like another commenter said, I understand the developers wanting to make money but at least give an option to pay to get rid of the ads. I would happily pay so I could play this game. But since I have to watch so many just to complete one tiny puzzle and even more for a larger one, I'm not even going to play anymore. TLDR: way too many ads just for one puzzle. Not even an option to pay to get rid of them. Devs, Pleaassee make it an option so I can play this game.
The concept and game play are good with room for improvement. Each picture is broken down into small sections then it moves over to the next section once a section is completed. The problem is each section is so small that it takes less than a minute to finish, then there is an ad. One small picture may be broken into 6 sections, so you are stuck watching 5 ads while making the picture then another when you finish. Their motto is draw and relax. How can I relax when I’m forced to watch an ad every 20-30 seconds! Many of the ads being shown, you cannot skip after a few seconds either. There isn’t even an option to buy an ad free version either so no matter what, you are stuck watching the ads. It’s so annoying that I ended up deleting the game. Totally not worth the frustration.
I like the game but it won’t give me the stars for the daily puzzles completed on time. I got one star for one day that it was completed on time and then it stopped working it won’t give me the stars anymore for when it’s completed on time. I tried deleting and re downloading it but it was the same thing then I tried it on a different device it was the same thing. As well as daily puzzles stopped being uploaded after Feb 28, that was the last time a daily puzzle was uploaded so I thought maybe it was something wrong with my app but again it still was having the same problem on different devices. This gave could be 5 stars if they fix these bugs.
I rly enjoy playing this game, but there are a few things that need to be fixed. For one, there are WAY to many adds. Even if they were before and/or after the game it would be better. Just not in the middle of levels pls! Also, recently its been glitching. And when I say that I mean I can’t go into the app. Like I click on it and it starts loading, but then it exists me out. Which happens sometimes, and that’s not the problem, because I should be able to click it again. Right? No. I click it, but it just does that again. I haven’t been able to get into the game for like a whole 2 weeks. And I’ve tried multiple times. But other then those two things, the game is fun. I like the levels, and it’s very relaxing, but I think I have to delete it.
I think this game is really fun and relaxing I really enjoyed playing it and I really recommend it. In my opinion it needs more options. Like maybe add a thing where you could import photos and star art your own pic. Like I said it is just an opinion. Ads are not a big thing in this game it gives you more time to play the game rather than sit there and watch an ad you have already seen before. But like I said in the beginning of this review it is really fun and relaxing and I enjoy playing it. BYE ✌🏻🫶🏻👍🏻👋🏻
Update: just downloaded the most recent version and it won’t load without crashing. Apparently they’ve just decided to kill it entirely? Too bad because I love this app and would happily pay for a paid version. I find it pretty relaxing and a good way to tune out. This app could be amazing, but it’s starting to feel like it’s been abandoned. I wish there was a paid version of this app because the number of ads is overwhelming, and the ad integration doesn’t always work so the only way to keep playing is to close and reopen the app. There also aren’t “daily” puzzles past June, and it’s the end of August. Every once in a while this app will just freeze, making it impossible to keep playing. I love the zen-like feel of it but a few minor upgrades would be very welcome.
This game is very addicting! I like it very much! Once you play one puzzle you can’t stop playing, there are different puzzles to enjoy. And I like how sometimes it’s hard to master. But if you’re reading this, there are ads though, at least one after every game, but you could always turn off the WiFi😏. But there is one thing I want to change, I see that a few puzzles need adds to play them. Like you HAVE to watch an add, but overall, great game! I 100% recommend if you get stressed easily!
I love the calming music and simple satisfying game play. Like other reviewers said, the ads are obnoxiously often, but now for $8 you can shut them off and own the whole game. I’m happy to support any game that doesn’t rely on reoccurring micro purchases. And the fact that it’s a genuinely good game to fall asleep playing or distract yourself while waiting in lines or offices makes it even better. Highly recommend! Games like these are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
This is a cool puzzle, but it’s also very glitchy. The screen will occasionally stop working and the game will crash. If you’re looking for a challenge, look for something else. The highest levels aren’t much different from Level 1. The point of this game seems to be more about relaxing than winning, much like a standard connect-the-dot or a coloring page, so to many this isn’t necessarily a bad trait. The pictures are creative and interesting, but they will often be outlined on the cover of the puzzle, (especially if they’re a daily challenge) taking away the element of surprise.
Love this app a d I don’t even mind the ads because I know developers have to make money it’s just a thing people have to accept. But, I have noticed that on the daily puzzles on July 20th it will not load it up at all for some reason and it will lock it down. I’ve tried on my phone and on my iPad so please get that bug fixed. Also would be nice if you could have a login id so that way you can go from device to device. Heck this has the making of a great game and I can’t wait to see what is added in the future.
I can’t believe I’m saying this because I never pay for apps, but I would happily pay for a no-ad version of this app. The gameplay is great, so it’s a shame that it’s so often interrupted by ads. Even if ads would only load before or after puzzles (as opposed to the middle of a puzzle as well), that would be a better alternative. Also, several of the nodes on level 555 are broken making it impossible to finish the puzzle. And when are the July daily puzzles coming?
I come to you, a humble neurodivergent citizen, who loves this game, to let me pay you - honestly - any amount of money to make the ads stop. And if it is not insolent I also beg of you to offer a dark mode interface option. This is the loveliest most soothing activity I have ever found and I wish I could use it to help soothe myself to sleep but it’s too bright.
You literally spend more time sitting through ads than playing
I was thinking there must be a way to spend a few bucks to get rid of the ads, but it seems like no. It’s frustrating because I could see this being a perfectly relaxing, mindless game to swipe through and would be wiling to pay for that. But as it is, it’s like 10 seconds of gameplay followed by 30 seconds of ads after - every - single - 10-second game. How is there no way to pay to remove the ads? It’s honestly baffling. The way it is now is the opposite of relaxing. Maybe if the puzzles were complex enough that the gameplay-to-ad ratio were different; but it’s literally more ad than game right now.
This game is really fun and has so much potential, but the amount of ads is ridiculous. It would be fine if there was an ad before or after the puzzle, but FIVE ADS in the MIDDLE of a puzzle when each section takes 30 seconds to complete? I understand the developers have to make money, but why isn’t there an option to purchase an ad free version, or at least stop putting them in the middle of the puzzles, because it’s so difficult to relax and play the game when every ten second there’s an unmuted ad blaring at you.
Like many other apps, their ads are out of control.
I wish people who made apps would find a different business model other than offering free and assaulting you with ads every other play. I might pay for the app if I could just play it for more than 2 rounds before having to endure an ad that you can’t close out of or even wait for it to end, you have to close the app completely and come back in. I can’t even play for a solid minute before seeing the ads. The game isn’t bad, but it’s a no for me because of the ridiculous ads. Deleted the app the very next day.
Awesome game I have always wanted a good connect the dots type of game I gave it 4 stars because the ads are just ridiculous I should be able to do a full puzzle without watching a ad the description says it relaxes the play but with all the ads it just gets annoying I want to keep playing it but all the ads r getting to me I doubt I will play it much longer I definitely think the ads needs to be turned down a lot thank you for the awesome concept!
This is one of the most relaxing things on my phone. I have anxiety, and this is something I can always count on to calm me. That said, every time I open it I spend far too long looking for where I left off because it always starts at the beginning. I would love for an easy way to scroll down, whether it be a scroll slider on the side, a chapter select, or literally anything that would keep me from having to scroll down through hundreds of puzzles.
I want to like this game as an alternative for Vertex. But it takes me longer to get through the ads than it does to solve the puzzle. And the fact there are ads in the middle of levels is beyond annoying. I also wish it’d let you choose where to solve the puzzles and give you the option whole thing at once rather than sections at a time. It’s a shame bc it has potential but bc of these two issues, I’ll be deleting the game from my phone!
I do really like this game. I really like the concept of it and the originality cuz I haven’t seen a game like this at all so I do like that. Just the ads need to go, there’s way too many. I’ll be happy if you get rid of the ads that are DURING the gameplay, those are extra annoying plus having the ones afterwards. I can’t have an ad pop up while I’m playing anymore or I’m out. Even if you had a button so we could remove ads would be great.
So it’s so fun and I really like it but the daily puzzles are often interrupted by ads before you can even finish the puzzles. And a lot of other games have a lot of features but this game is just the puzzles nothing else and I’m afraid I could get bored of the game soon. Like for instance you could add a character or something like that. But I don’t want this app to be trashed but those are some of the things that could improve this app! 🙃
I just got this game yesterday and I’m almost on level 60. I’ve been playing a lot but the ads are making me frustrated. Every level has at least one ad then when you finish the level another ad pops up. Not only am I receiving many ads but it’s the same ads over and over. I know that this is not in control but please make there less ads so I can better relax while playing this game! Thank you!
This was one of my favorite apps until last update. Now to access a new picture, you have to scroll through numerous pictures until you can get to new ones if you have completed a lot of pictures. Please developer, do us a favor and return app to the way you had in categories so that you don’t have to waste time scrolling through all of the completed pictures. Plus don’t even get me started on the daily pictures, I am sure you are aware of the issues.
Tons of fun to play! Sometimes numbers are so close it’s hard to connect but you can just zoom in to make it easier to select the on you want. Biggest complaint is that the app starts at the top every time you open it. You then have to scroll all the way down if you’ve done a bunch of the puzzles already. Really should start at the last completed. Also, the latest update makes the game crash upon opening. I’m assuming that’ll get fixed swiftly.
This game has a good concept but needs some improvements. First of all the picture is broken up into little segments, after you finish one segment of the picture is switches to an add then after you finish the picture their is another add. The only way I can use this app is to turn my WiFi off. Next the pictures are way to easy and it alerts you every time you make a mistake. Lastly it’s annoying the pictures being separated into levels. If you improve these things the app would be a lot better. written in 2021
Hello! I have been playing this game for a while now, but the last couple times I tried to play it I ended up getting discouraged and didn’t play it. Why? Because every time I open the app, I’m scrolled all the way down to the bottom part of my puzzles in the collection tab. I have tried refreshing the app multiple times, but I’m only on puzzle 29 and it’s very tedious to scroll all the way to the top through more than 700 puzzles! I would play this game all the time if it wasn’t for this bug. Thank you for reading.
I do like this game, it’s quite cute and nice… but egads, the ads. Other reviews are not exaggerating at all, they’re constant and all the long 30-45 second ones. More than half the time in the app (if you don’t close it and restart it to avoid the ad) is just advertisements. To boot, there IS a button to remove ads with an $8 (USD) purchase… but it doesn’t work. It’ll just pop a screen with “Sorry, purchase unavailable”. Then why have a button? I want to give you money so I can actually enjoy the game, but you literally won’t let me. How sad.
Can there please be an option to pay to turn off ads? I normally don’t mind ads because I understand developers work hard and need money, but once I decide I like an app, I like to pay rather than watch ads to extend game play. Otherwise, this is an absolutely amazing app. Thank you!
•ads average out to one every 30 seconds-1 minute •ads are glitchy, forcing me to close/reopen app often to get past them •there are no skill levels. The only skill level is super easy. “Puzzles” are fed to you in small chunks, I guess so there are natural places for the ads to appear, but it makes a simple game far easier. •you can’t make a mistake- the game tells you immediately. Again, making an easy game far too easy. There’s no challenge.
Game was really good and I really liked it but the most recent update got rid of the random level button and now the background for levels is bright white instead of black and it’s blinding. It also lists the levels by number now and for some reason when you open the app it starts at the very bottom. So unless you have daily puzzles to do you’re gonna have to scroll for at least 3 minutes to get back to the top. Great game but new update is horrible.
This needs a lot of improvement. First, there’s an advert after each section done and once finished which is way too frequent for a free game. If anything, adverts should only be once each puzzle is finished and users have hit continue. That is the only time that I can see that a advert is appropriate. Second, it’s July 2 at the time of this review and the daily puzzles haven’t updated for me. I’m still only seeing June 2021 and older. If these get fixed, then I’ll give 5 stars.
Assuming you even look at these, you will have heard that the ads are abysmal and appear every 10 seconds. There is an easy solution to this. Add and option to pay $0.99 or $1.99 to remove ads. This would fix a lot, but you should still make ads appear less frequently. I’ve talked about ads the whole time but the gameplay is great so yeah, that’s it.
Amazing game that is very relaxing but the ads makes it infuriating. This goes against the zen idea behind it. I see a lot of people that are actively willing to pay money, including me, to remove the ads. I also see the developer responding and claiming the ads are what keeps the game afloat. If people are begging to spend their money please let them. You will probably get more money in the end and a more loyal fanbase and more time in the app. PLEASE LET ME PAY YOU TO REMOVE ADS
I really enjoy this app. I find it fun and relaxing. However, there are SO many ads! There’s one after each puzzle and then a few sprinkled in during each puzzle! It’s kind of insane! I would pay a little to even just reduce the ads, but there’s no option for that. I’ll probably end up deleting the app soon when I get annoyed enough. Too bad because it would get five stars if it weren’t for the ridiculous commercials.
this game is great for relaxing and connecting dots to create a picture. i like the little clicks whenever you connect 2 dots. i think these app manufacturers really went all out for a relaxing vibe. but there are so many ads that it takes away some of that relaxing vibe. i get that commercials are the essence of creating more money (which everyone wants) but once it’s too much it becomes annoying. i have to turn off my wifi to play without ads, but then i can’t listen to my own music or get any notifs from my other apps. if the ads were limited, this game would absolutely deserve five stars. i think the manufacturers can also add a little thing where you can make your own “art” and play it, but it’s just a suggestion.
Decided to delete this game after completing the first 6 levels. Seems like great gameplay and I loved the background sounds, but I realized we were going to have a problem when I was interrupted by an ad in the middle of the SECOND LEVEL. I also experienced back-to-back ads between levels. I understand the need for ads in a free game, but this was more advertisement than gameplay which was very disappointing.
Great game but it won’t let me pay to remove the ads
Truly this game is really nice, exactly what I was looking for. But dear LORD there are so many ads. I see that there’s an option to pay ($7.99 to remove ads which is insanely expensive but that’s another issue), but every time I try to pay for it, it has a pop up that says “Sorry, Purchase not available”. I just want to play, please fix whatever it is that is preventing the ability to remove ads, I’m about to delete the game. Very annoying
None of the art takes very long to finish. Each piece of art is broken up into several small sections that take at most 30 seconds to complete. After every other section, and sometimes after every section, there is an ad. Then, there’s another ad after you’re done with the entire thing. Sometimes there’s also an ad before you start. I’d call this game a 30/70 game. 30% is actual gameplay and making the art, but 70% is watching ads.
The gameplay is fun. But they roll an ad every time you finish a section of a picture. You can get dozens of ads in one of the bigger pictures, and the sections take you less than ten seconds to finish, so the interruptions are constant. I would be happy to watch a full ad after every picture, but the way it is now is far too intrusive.
I think this app is probably great, but I thought it would be better if I paid the $7.99. It is not. There is no difference. The scenes don’t change, the only thing you get is a daily puzzle which you get for free. You have to scroll forever to get to ones you haven’t done before, I have no idea how many there are because I gave up scrolling. Seems like some basic things that could be fixed when you are paying so much for an app.
I really enjoy the app, but I definitely don’t enjoy being interrupted mid-puzzle with ads. Having an ad at the beginning/end of a puzzle is understandable, but getting 5 ads before you can even finish one is overkill. I also don’t like how the main page is set up. After you complete a couple dozen puzzles, it’s a huge pain to have to scroll down to find one you haven’t done.
This game is great, but literally EVERY time I finish the first section of a picture, it does an add. I can safely say you have to watch two to three adds per picture and it’s just not very exciting when you have to watch 30 second adds to work on your picture. Would gladly pay for an add free version if it meant there weren’t half as many adds.
The gameplay is fine. My problem with this app is the amount of ads that keep playing. I can’t relax with this game if an ad keeps popping up after every section of the art piece I complete. I understand if ads only popped up after the art itself was completed, but it’s pathetic that multiple keep popping up while I’m in the middle of doing the art. I don’t want to keep this app because I don’t want to waste my time watching ads instead of playing.
It would be such an enjoyable puzzle game if it wasn’t over saturated with So Many Ads. The ads interrupt during the levels as well as between each level. There’s literally an ad every 15-20 seconds and you can’t turn them off. I don’t think it’s an admin running this game anymore because the daily puzzles haven’t updated since March 2023. Removing ads is disabled. Overall could be really enjoyable but the ads are way too disruptive.
I love this game. But the ads after every single game and even sometimes in the middle of one, are annoying. I wish they would offer a purchase option to stop the ads. I’d even take a monthly subscription for maybe a couple bucks to avoid them. Something to consider I hope.
I very much enjoyed this game for a few days. It could be fun and relaxing but there are way too many ads. I stopped playing because I was getting so frustrated having to watch ads after each puzzle and even during a puzzle. If they could improve the amount of ads they show it would be a great app. The art is beautiful and it is fun and relaxing but ultimately not worth playing with all the delays because of the ads.
