So I love this game, the style, the vibe, the art, but no doubt you will find yourself stuck because some of these are really tough. I have no problem with that and also no problem purchasing a few hints however they could be a little more generous and say, give you at least one hint per puzzle, or give you more hints per purchase. I’m pretty good at these kind of things and I’ve already had to buy two hint packets and I’m not even through the game yet. Again, I have no problem supporting this kind of awesome game. Another thing that would be good is if you could save each puzzle so you can pick away at each one instead of having to finish one without going to the next one and starting over. Some of the differences are very vague, shadowy, etc.. I’m still giving it a five star but could be a little more generous with the hints.

Love this game! Challenging but fun and fair. Few friendly suggestions…1. Would love to see the guesses require a double-tap. I often touch the screen by mistake and it counts as a guess. 2. The fact that it doesn’t save within-level progress when I exit the app is frustrating. I’ll find 9/10 differences, leave the app, and come back to find I’m at 0/10. 3. I’m all for minimalism, but using random symbols for nav is a bit much. It would still look beautiful and sleek if you had the word “menu” there instead of like ₽. 🙏

Golly what a great game. The music is fantastic. Up there with the older sims games. Gameplay is challenging, and the concept of each puzzle is neat. The simplistic design but high quality graphics. And theeeennnn they pull the rug from under you. You have to pay to unlock the whole game (which fine I can be ok with that). But the levels become ridiculously hard and then you have to spend more money to buy hints. And then buy more. And then buy more. And you can’t call them hints. Because they simply reveal one of the differences. Would be a cool feature that goes along with the puzzle theme if the hints were actual hints. But then again, if you’re gonna spend money, I can see why it should reveal a difference. Anyway, if you’re into dropping loads of money on a mobile game, this would be one worth doing it for. Otherwise, this is a waste of a download to even try out. Costs too much.
