- Game crashes and freezes frequently
- Valid words are marked wrong
really good game
it’s a great game tho part of the number of day is cut off on newer phone models so maybe the top of screen could be slide down a bit so one could see the top of screen fully
Unplayable Due to Ads
I have been playing for all 30 minutes. It is not impossible to go longer than a minute without having to watch at least one ad. Hey, Game Dev, yeah…you…I do not exist to watch ads for you. I do not play games where at least 50% of my time is spent making you money. Your business model is just a giant middle finger waived at your players.
Fun one problem
I played this for a long time liked played on the bus and it was glitchy to tho can u fix this it would really help me:)
Developer needs a dictionary
I don’t know where you get your words list from, but over the last 3 days I’ve used many a word that literally IS an (American) English word, just to have the game buzz me as if it is incorrect. Yes when you get to day 4593 things are getting boring, but at least it would help if you used real words!
Good But So many ads
I like it, I like the story and stuff but… ads, there are just so many ads, and that would be fine but NONE OF THEM ARE SKIPPABLE
Cool
Cool
Fake Advertising For A Boring Game
Was as I Figured… Another Troll Fake Advertisement Of A Game By A Lying Developer trying a o get people to play their crappy game lol. The game is truthfully is really just boring… Is just the same thing over and over and you never really ever make any kind of an advancement or do anything different ir interesting in the game. Just goes to another Chapter of the same thing. You could play every day for a month and it could say and be 1000ft into the Wall and would just basically be and just show a small hole in the wall and would be more of the same boring thing…
Keeps repeating level 5809
I enjoy the game, not that interested in the story. The story quit long ago. I got to level 5809 and the same puzzle just keeps repeating. I have tried everything but it is locked on this level.
Challenge game word suit is wrong
Challenge game word suit is a wrong word !!!!!!!!!
Odd
An odd game. The creepy graphics and bad grammar got annoying. But an interesting concept.
Hey
Uh hello best game like ever!
Help
I have finished the game. It says all levels complete. It will not go past the last level. It is hung there and will go no further. I have tried everything and it just keeps going back to the very last 6482 and will not go past that. Very disappointed. Need help.
It’s a great game but...
The game itself is fine it’s fun and makes me want to keep giving however when my coins get taken away constantly into a piggy bank it gets annoying.I understand it’s for us to get premium but other games I have had like this I delete because I get no we’re.
Helps pass the time
Two stars for passing the time. Other than that it gets pretty annoying after a while. Anyone know how long this game goes on for?
Fun but problem
There’s too many ads. It’s frustrating
IMPORTANT!!! DO NOT GET THIS GAME!!!
I just got the game today when I was scrolling through the App Store and thought it looked pretty cool... I started playing and it all went well until I decided to make a purchase. I bought the least expensive one, because it was already getting boring and I hadn’t even been playing for 10 minutes. Well I bought the coins and when I clicked out of the store to go back to the game I discovered that my coins weren’t there! I thought maybe it just has to load in, so I left the level and joined back in. To my surprise it STILL wasn’t there. I left the app, rejoined, and looked at my coins... still 25... I then went to the store to see if I could get some sort of refund, but I couldn’t find anything. I’m 100% sure this game doesn’t deserve 5 stars, but you and I both know that if I gave it anything less, you would have to scroll a long ways down to find this... and people barely even bother to look at the comments, let alone scroll down to find them. I suggest not getting this game, it will waste your time, and it’s not as fun as it looks. It’s also all a huge scam, and I better get my $12.99 back... anyways, I’m sorry if this doesn’t help, but I tried...
Mistakes
Lots of words are missing and they mark them as wrong, for example June is not considered a correct word. Many other examples. You need to review your game and fix that. You should also give coins at the end of each level.
A Normal Mindstate - Terrible Game. An Imprisoned Mindstate: Lifesaving Game
Normally this game, with its simplistic play and nonsensical unfoldings and continuity errors that disappoint like no other, would quickly be panned, deleted, and fastly be removed from memory. But when I came to live in a Salvation Army homeless shelter for 3 months to be finally away from and out of the reaches of my abuser ex boyfriend, having only $0.74 cents to my name, a traumatized mind full of panic attacks from 2 years of his attempts on my life, emotional and physical abuse on another level, and gut wrenching Stockholm syndrome loneliness hollowing out my insides each night.... this free game, which I download off my $29 Alcatel smartphone I’d somehow managed to buy after he threw my iPhone away in a dumpster, was one of the only things helping me heal, cure boredom, and helped take my mind off of the 30 other men swarming around my bed each night in our one big open bunk room, where they spontaneously broke out in fights and would constantly trigger me and exacerbate my anxieties. I felt incarcerated⛓, in my mind 🧠, my life, and state of absolute hopelessness at that time: this level of game was what I normally would never have even considered playing; but through it, I felt heard, like someone else understood the painful truth of just how long it would probably take to get through and heal from this wound’s lifetime sentencing... and this dumb game’s simplicity was seriously about all that my badly broken mind would handle at the time. And for this, this game will forever have a soft spot in my since broken, but still-beating heart. 🫀
The piggy bank
I really have to pay for the coins I earn on each level??? Cmon you gotta be joking
What’s going on?.
**Update** Third request. It is now September 13, 2022, and the issue with the reward (please read below) has never been fixed. I really like your game and , as you can see by my previous comment, I have played the game for more than 18 months. Please fix. Thank you. When I play the daily puzzle (which I have for months), the reward never goes past Day 5 for 140 coins. Why doesn’t it go past that point? Please fix. December 9, 2020 Still waiting for the reward part of the game to be fixed. Please fix.
Fun game!
Great game.
Wont refund
My child got this on accident and I seen 2 charges on my account from this app. 1 is $0.00 and the other $99.99. Under subscriptions it doesn’t show and under purchase history says not eligible for refunds. My bank account was charged $99.99 . Apple can’t help me and say I need to contact u or file dispute with my bank. Please help ASAP
Word story
I‘be been playing this game for a few months but now all of a sudden after you complete the answers to the clues you don’t receive your coins... 30 coins is not working nor is the 2 spins for coins or boost working. I’ve been telling you in the like or dislike this level for 5 days but it works for a couple of puzzles then stops. I’m really thinking about uninstalling this game if you can not fix the problem. Suggestion you need to put some more action in the game it’s just unscramble the words.
???????
I am still at the
Buggy
The add closes early and freezes the game fi this NOW
7/17/20 Update: Political Ads Gone
Update: No more political ads! Thank you!!! Loved this game & played every day until they started running political ads. Initially you could just close the ad but now it plays a video in between each word game.
not pay
it cost money to get coins and this game is a ripoff of henry stickmin have a bad day trash video game makers
Discrepancy in writing
It’s a nice game honestly with theme concept but one discrepancy occurs. So the app’s story quotes and the notifications have lots of writing errors that the texts are not coherent and as someone who could learn English is a bad thing. Please fix.
Eh
This game is ok for the most part, but as you go on and on the game and story doesn’t really change much. The ad are so repetitive and annoying and they appear after almost every day. It’s sort of like Wordscapes and Henry Stickmin: Escaping the prison mixed together with a bunch of bricks.
My Honest Review
This game is okay is you are bored. And when you are bored you will get even more bored of it in a little while. But it's still fun to play the puzzels. I would have liked to have less ads, but if you play its a lot you get used to it. I hope you take this into consideration and change some things. To, the makers of the game.
I LIKE THIS GAME SOITS EZ MAKE OTHER ONES LIKE THIS :)
Ppl who think the game bad don’t like homework so appreciate it or be on the streets! Thx for game
Rip off
I spent real money and received nothing. What a waste.
Same add
Every time
This is the worst game ever
OkShut it down
Too many ads
It was good at the beginning... but when you started playing it and after a while, you get more ads. Now an ad will pop up almost after each word puzzle... I think I will delete the game soon... just can’t bare with those ads
3,2,1 back to game!
The game is, I have to say perfect 👌! I do get some ads but they are shorter than I expected!
Weird (please read)
So I thought this game would be good it’s fun but I looked at the picture in the story and the coins said 666 creepy
Great game
I think it’s an amazing game. It’s fun to try solve the words. It has amazing animations and it makes me laugh. I think the ad made it look more fun then it actually is but still I think it’s good
Worst game ever
Hi my first day was so good My second day was a waste of time This game is the worst
Not Bad
Game has some incorrect grammar but that is fine. The game is a way to pass time if it didn’t crash so much. If it’s not crashing it’s freezing during an ad. If those issues can get resolved I would download the game again.
Maybe
I'm going to make this short: I want more action with the guy rather than words. If you could just do a little bit more with the guy, maybe even save coins to get stuff like clothes and different color sheets and pillows. Maybe also having the choice to be a male or female
Starting to be not worth the time
I feel that I’m going to die for real before I get through this game. You get sucked in through the the first 9 levels, thinking you are going to get somewhere. (Most levels up to this point consist of 20-30 parts) Then you have Level 10 with over 300 parts and now that I’m up to Level 11 there’s just less than 500 parts. The little animations after a while just start to repeat. It was fun for the first 8 levels. Now that I know that it’s just going on and on and on..., I’ve got better things to do with my time!
Love it
Love this game, addicting and amazing...would like it if you could see how far you had to dig Other then that I would highly recommend 😁
The Ads are Fake
I downloaded this game because of seeing the ads, and just so anyone knows, all of them are completely false
Words Story
Hello my name is Nancy Smith 2 days ago I bought the golden elephant for 5.29 and i didn’t receive my 2000 coins i would either like to have my 2000 coins or my money back this is the second time this has happened
Wow
This game us bill it's amusing and yeah you need to download it I'm playing with my cat and she is clawing me Oh now she sat once 😂😂😂
Racist & offensive
My daughter and I enjoyed this game until an offensive & racist ad popped up. It stated “Pick your Black girl” and “I want Blacks”. I didn’t open the ad because it suggested adult sexual content. Please don’t support this company since they apparently don’t care what ads they post as long as they get money for it. If I knew how, I’d post a screenshot of the ad. I have notified the Company and given them a copy of the screenshot. Very disappointed and hurt.
Pretty good
Just wished it had sound
Not as good as earlier versions.
I liked the old music better. Please bring it back.
Helps me sleep
Whenever I can’t sleep in night. I play this game and within few mins I sleep. I don’t know what is with this game that helps you sleep.
