“Recent user voice shows a frustrated sentiment. Users appreciate engaging core gameplay and visual quality, but report false advertising (timers) and excessive and intrusive ads.”
What Users Love
It's a cute rope untie game to calm my spirit
The game itself is great! ... I love the challenging of untied the notch
otherwise the game is good -- smooth graphics
Pain Points
It's specifically advertised as having no timers and I hit a timer within the first 50 levels.
Misled to believe that this game had no timer... I will find one that actually doesn't have a timer.
The constant barrage of ads is over the top. Every single level completed leads to another ad, and at times one pops up mid game!
The constant video popup ads in the middle of play make this unplayable.
