The latest major update resulted in a rating decline of 0.91 stars on iOS, dropping the average from 2.91 to 2.0. While the sample size is small, the introduction of gameplay tweaks has created friction, with users reporting that puzzle mechanics no longer align with advertised behavior. The update fails to address long-standing complaints regarding ad frequency and daily puzzle stability.
