Place Please－Mini Crossword

This is an awesome game and I love these puzzles. A few things: I don’t understand how the mistakes work. There have been puzzles where I didn’t make any mistakes yet it said I had 1 or 2. If there are multiple solutions, it shouldn’t count against you if you happen to choose the wrong one. Second, I hate how you still have to watch ADs for the daily puzzles even after you purchase the game. Other than that, it’s great! I also wish there was a pencil in option like in sudoku

Hey devs? Little advice? You want to allow time to get players hooked before you start drowning them in ads. When most people download a free game, we want to see if it’s fun enough to be worth enduring whatever monetization method is used (usually either ads or micro transactions). We all accept these as a part of how free games fund themselves. And personally, if it’s a game I enjoy, i’m at peace with that, and even willing to shell out mons to support games i play frequently. After booting this game, though, had no fewer than four ad breaks by the time I finished level two. That is too many ads during the testing phase, and so even many of us puzzle-heads who would enjoy the game will figure it’s not worth the effort and uninstall. Seriously, you have an interesting little twist here; trust your product to pull people in for the long haul. Wait until level 5-10 until the ads kick in, so we word puzzle peeps know we’ll enjoy the game enough to stick longterm. All ads full blast up front? You are turning away longterm players for short-term gains, plain as that. Once they’re a couple levels in and know they enjoy the game, the. flip the “all the ads button” and you’ll get more longterm players willing to either withstand the ads or pay money to play without. Because investment is a psychology thing that exists. You can use it better than you are, basically.

I have always loved this type of puzzle. I’ve been playing Places, Please for decades in puzzle magazines. I really want to love this app, but there a few issues that are going to make me stop playing. 1) having an Ad after each word or having the app automatically add words will render an ad. 2) I would love to support this app & purchase the $5.99 to delete the Ads but I won’t because of the next few issues 3) paying another $10 for erasers that are needed to solve the larger puzzles because you are supposed to get a reward after solving so many puzzles, but I’ve received none. 4) when there are only 2 words left to be added, but you need to play eeny, meeny, miny, moe & hope you picked the correct one, so either you accept it as a mistake or play the level over again. 5)a word that needed to be added was longer the space allowed on an 11” iPad & only the first 2 letters of the word were shown. I realize it’ a fairly new app & there needs to be time to work out some of the bugs, I will play, but will not pay until some of these issues are solved.
