Ratings and reviews

It was bad enough when it was doing ads between every single short level. But then it started doing ads in the middle of gameplay. Unacceptable. I would have considered paying to remove the ads, but it gives you no guarantee as to how many puzzles you will get after you have paid to remove them. Uninstalling.

Great Concept, 2 Downfalls. The only thing missing is that it needs a back 🔙 & forward ⏩ button on the key board. People like me with fat fingers (lol) don't always hit the right key, so a big left & right movement button would be helpful. It makes a great cryptogram with an extra layer of puzzle to find the culprit. Not just quotes & jokes like most cryptogram games. 2nd, too many ads. I understand to need to watch an ad after each puzzle & if you reach your 3rd strike and watch to continue.

This really had the makings of a great game. It looks good, the mechanics are there, and the stories were interesting enough to keep me playing. However, this app commits a major foul that makes it unplayable for me. It interrupts gameplay with ads. I don't mind if they're before or after a puzzle, but putting them right in the middle of one as you're trying to solve it is attrocious. Would rather play one of the other similar apps that don't do this. Really a shame.
