The app’s developers are very clever. By the third board, the game becomes challenging. After watching 100 ads, I gave in and purchased the game for $7.99. But by the tenth board or so, I had to continuously watch ads to increase my time. Some boards are nearly impossible to complete with a timer. Some boards don’t make perfect sense, so you’re just winging in. I finally gave in and spent another $7.99 to have infinite time. It’s more relaxing now but still…some boards don’t make that much sense to me. I love the concept. Smooth game play etc but there needs to be more boards. I spent $16 plus tax for 100 or so levels. Not enough. PS I’ve never spent this much on an iPhone game so again, the developers know what they’re doing. Smart cookies.

TLDR: actual game play is fine, but you have to watch an ad just to open the app [seriously, who does that!?!], then there are ads after every single level (completed or not) and ads for any time extensions or bonuses (understandable). I love these games; I have completed 4 of them so I decided to download this one even though other reviewers mentioned it has a lot of ads. I don’t mind ads; I am that person who will gladly “watch” ads to get in game bonuses/money/etc, especially while I’m doing chores. And I agree that ads are the trade off for free games and/or to keep from having to pay to play. THAT BEING SAID: this game has an OBNOXIOUS amount of ads. When you open the app, you get an ad BEFORE you even see the title screen come up! There is an ad after Every. Single. Level (whether you complete it in time or not). And poor you if you don’t finish the level before the timer runs out! Then there is the “end of level” ad, PLUS you have to watch an ad for more time (unless you spend coins, which you only get 20 per level unless you watch an ad for more). I will go days without playing because of the ads, then open it and may play two levels before I close it again cause of the ads. By all means, play this game if you’re desperate (I do sometimes), but prep yourself for lots and lots of ads.

First of all, the "puzzles" timed. (Not relaxing.) Many are terribly unintuitive. Some of these could stand to have double the time limit, and if you want more time? Ads. Also, they play an ad every time you finish a level, or if you run out of time. So I have to sit through 30sec of ads before I have to sit through another 60ish sec of ads to get more time. They offer no additional ads for $5.99 (that means beyond the ones you request for more time or hints) and with the time limits already as unreasonable as some of them are, no way. I'm not paying $5.99 to still have to watch that many ads. Level 27 glitched and fortunately restarting it fixed the issue but not before I wasted several minutes of my time on unnecessary ads for time and eventually hints.On the upside, it does feel nice to finally get whatever digital thingy cleaned up or repaired or sorted. I just don't think it's worth wasting this many additional minutes of my life. So, double the time limits, chill out on the ad breaks, and maybe you'd weasel a few dollars out of me eventually... but I'm uninstalling this after tonight. I'd rather play remove-the-screw and sort-the-blocks for the amount of gameplay I get for my forced advertisement time. Oh, and one last additional nitpick: it's harder for left-handed people. >=\

I for the most part enjoy this game however, the random “scary” add ons are stupid. For example level 54 you complete this pretty mirror and then they add the stupidest dead skeleton thingy… like for what a jump scare ? Unnecessary in a game that’s supposed to be for 12 year olds and called cute… There was nothing cute about that. Also, why do you have to make someone’s hand “dirty” I thought I was working on a brown skinned hand on an earlier puzzle and turned out to be a dirty hand and the person was super pale.. that’s kinda… weird. Some puzzles are definitely questionable… like why am I putting make up on potatoes…But I do enjoy the game so far and would have given it more stars but it’s questionable… I saw a lot of reviews about the timer.. I think this game would get boring without it.. I definitely got bored with other tidy games. I enjoy the timer even though it stresses me out sometimes.. but I love a challenge and puzzles!
