Here it is. First the game’s programming has you crawl painfully to $1,000. It’s designed to make you quit before getting there. Once you clear $1,000, you can supposedly withdraw. But hold on - there’s a catch. You have to win 500 consecutive puzzles. Again, programming designed to make you give up. If you have the determination to clear that threshold, great, yet there’s another catch. It’s a big one. Once you build a 500 game winning streak, you’d think you’re cleared to finalize the withdrawal process, right? Here’s the tragedy. They want you to watch 200,000 consecutive videos (yes, that’s right - 200,000 consecutive videos). This has to be the most hilarious and diabolical monetization strategy I’ve ever beheld. Newsflash people - the developers programmed the game for players to never, ever obtain their earnings. And, Apple just allows such schemes to perpetuate. Wicked, evil, scandalous. And developer - spare us your automated responses and explanations. The same goes for Apple. The developers, and Apple’s gross negligence, has been exposed. To ‘All’ users everywhere, delete this game right away and spread the word to everyone you know. Wicked developers and Apple cannot dodge or escape accountability.

If you’re looking for something to pass the time that is at least a little challenging, this game will do that. But don’t believe the ads telling you that it will pay you. IT DOESN’T. You’ll never get paid because the game keeps moving the goalposts. I fulfilled the first, expressed criterion for cashing out, but when I tried, I got a message saying that I had to accumulate $1,000 in order to cash out. I reached $1,000, and then it told me that in order to cash out, the order needed to be “verified”. And in order to verify it, you have to play to level 200. So I played to level 200, and now it STILL needs to be verified. This time, in order to verify it, you have to win 500 levels in a row. This is just another game that lures you in with promises of winning money to help pay bills, only to have you sitting for hours enduring longer and longer ads. The unscrupulous people who run these games don’t respect your time, and they don’t respect YOU. It’s no wonder they always ask you to rate the game with 5 stars when you’ve barely started playing it. I now wait to rate until I see whether or not they honor their promises. Most do not.

This game seems to be a total scam although playing it is fun. I’ve e reached the point where I’m supposed to be able to cash out. I hit the $1,000 point after 12 straight of playing. I tried to cash out only to find out that you have to win 100 games first. Ok, I did that. I tried again to cash only to find out that now you have to win 200 games! It took awhile but I did it. I just tried to cash out again. Nope, you have to win 500 games now!waste of time trying to cash out.
