Easy to use, but would like hints option
Jan 29

Had to update my review because it was user error, and I didn’t realize I had options beyond the daily puzzle. I would really like the ability to pick 1 star games, as I find these easier to play and more relaxing. I appreciate the dark mode option, as well as the auto x’s. Only issue was that for some reason I found it very hard to find all these features when first playing, and assumed it didn’t have them. Maybe a tutorial? I wish there were hints available. And maybe this is user error but I didn’t see any. I see an option that seems to check if anything is wrong, and an option that appears to just place a star for you. But I would rather it give me a hint that tells me a strategy of how I should know what to mark off next. Also, please label icons. I didn’t realize what the buttons did until I clicked them. I didn’t want it to place a star, just give me a hint and an explanation.

Thank you for updating your review and for the detailed feedback! You’re absolutely right that the onboarding and the lack of labels on some buttons aren’t very user-friendly. We apologize for the confusion this caused, and we’ll be improving tutorials, icons, and explanations in future updates.Just to clarify a couple of points:The button that looks like it “places a star” is actually the Hint feature. It analyzes the current board and reveals a tile that can be logically confirmed. In some cases, that confirmed tile happens to be a star, which can make it feel like the game is placing a star for you. We agree that the current icon and explanation are not clear enough, and we’ll work on making this more intuitive. We’re also exploring ways to make hints feel more like strategy guidance rather than automatic actions.Thanks again for your thoughtful suggestions — they’re very helpful and appreciated!

Love this game!

I found this game while searching for something similar to LinkedIn’s Queens and I really love it! The levels are a good mix. I also really like the journey games that populate every few days. I purchased the ad free version. My only complaint is that it seems that the undo button adds some undos to your tally every day, but I can’t earn hints or puzzle checks the same way. I have to watch an ad if I want a hint, which feels frustrating since I purchased the ad free version.

Update: Based on player feedback, we’ve recently added a new benefit for Ad-Free players. After completing the Daily Challenge, Ad-Free players can now receive a free Hint reward each day.Thank you again for helping us improve the game!Thank you for your feedback, and sorry for the confusion.After purchasing Remove Ads, all forced ads should be removed.The ad you saw when tapping Hint is an optional rewarded ad, which is still available by design.That said, we understand this can be unclear, and we’re improving the wording and behavior in an upcoming update to make this distinction clearer.Thanks again for supporting the game — we really appreciate it!

Best queens app

This is hands down the best app for queens/star battle etc games. The note taking, x autofilling, undo, and hints features are the best I’ve seen in any similar apps. The biggest downside is that there aren’t enough puzzles!! I’ve finished all 1000 puzzles and do the daily puzzle every day—I really wish there were more! Please bring back the event packs or add more 14x14 games!

Developer Response

Entertaining but some “easy” puzzles are super hard
Feb 28

Tyson J.
I like playing this and the interface is pretty nice. It’s certainly worth the purchase as the ads are pretty disruptive. I like easy puzzles that I can knock out quickly but I have found many in the easy category that take a LONG time. I don’t think that I am doing anything incorrectly?

Developer Response
Have you had a look at the solving strategies in the settings? 👀Some puzzles may feel harder because of a key trick that’s easy to miss. Once you get familiar with these strategies, they should feel much easier.Thanks a lot for your feedback — we’ll keep working on improving the overall experience!
