What Users Love
I enjoy the game it's very relaxing
This is a wonderful, fantastic, stupendous, game!!!
Pain Points
1 3d level is impossible in higher levels. as a result can not play any new 3d levels
There is a recurring Boss level that contains a design glitch that makes it impossible to pass.
Ads are longer than the levels so uninstalling
Too many ads just to get started! Trashed the game before it even started
I got a new phone and it's making me start over from level one.
I have had to delete it, redownload it and start from the beginning several times.
