The game was great i love it. However, there are crashes every two times I lost the game. When i lost the game, it lagged and stucked right there. It is pretty inconvenient when u want to continue playing it but then u have to restart the game all over again to make sure it performs normally. I tested on the other phone and same thing happens here. Hope you can fix this cuz i really love playing this game.
This game is a ton of fun to play with a stylus, but there's a horrible glitch where the wizard doesn't die when an enemy touches the ground. It makes you have to quit the game and lose your high score. Super annoying. The rest of the game is a blast though.
Love this game, I really do! But the thing is when you pass the 30/40 mark on arcade is where the lag starts to kick in and it's in the moment where things start to go down and you need to move faster. Too many, too many times have I failed to pass the 90 mark becasue of lag popping in for a chat just as I finish drawing one of the symbols just before one of the golden enemies with multiple balloons drop onto my platform. Really... Really disappointed in the devs for this one. Take care.
There is a bug that you guys really need to fix. When the game's over, there are crashes and the screen kind of just freezes, and instead of saying "Game Over" it just stays in an endless loop. It's really frustrating because I have to close the app entirely, and if I beat my previous high score or get a thousand coins in one game I lose them all because I had to close the app. Hope the devs can do something about this. :(
This game is interesting for about half an hour. After that it's all the same thing over and over again. There are no levels or campaign mode so practically there isn't any goal or target in the game. It also is buggy, such as the lack of exit button (it doesn't work with the device's back button), and after quitting from zen mode play (without losing, just navigating to main menu) I didn't get the coins I earned in that round.
It's a really fun game that tests your reflexes, but sometime i ask my self 'is that, all they can do? Surely they can add more symbols at least for insane mode". Despite that i would like to say how off is the "ε" symbol, when i start from bottom to top it NEVER works and when i try to fully make it, it might not work, but by how much idk! Which is super irritating. That is all.
It's amazing, don't get me wrong, but it gets so quick and hard it's like IMPOSSIBLE! What I like about this game though, is that it doesn't give you a long, time consuming demo. You just GET ON WITH IT! It's super easy to play and it recognises the shapes very easily so they don't have to be exact. No lags or bugs, so can't really complain! LOVE IT!!
Game went hugely downhill after this new update. The vibrations aren't disableable which makes my phone lag, and there's CONSTANT ads. I understand needing to keep afloat, but I have gotten ads consistently after every single game. I got an ad when I chose not to watch an ad for the fairy. I used to love playing this in the background as I listened to podcasts. This is ridiculous. Please fix these errors and it will easily bump back up to five stars.
Bug with the purple balloon enemies where when they land and end the game it bugs out and gets stuck on the screen. This wouldn't be a problem otherwise but when I restart the game I lose all the gold I gained and the score. This bug makes the game unplayable because 90% you lose because of the purple balloon enemies
I used to play this game a while back and I tried to install it again to see if it was still good. I'm really disappointed. Not only the game is so buggy now but they putted some animation that just delays the game, like the game over screen. It take ages to just restart the same game. And It was only when I was playing offline, I can't even imagine if I go online. I guess the developers just gave up on the game.
i love the game honestly, its fun it keeps me active, quick thinking and rly trains my reaction time but after returning. Im surprised by how much the game crashes and freezes. I have 2 phones it does this on both of them including my friend's phone. The game often freezes after a game over.
It's a decent arcade-style game with excellent pixel graphics but none of the achievements currently work. There's a few hitches with the gameplay that detract from the fun. Buying new spells is not so rewarding when the game decides when you can actually use it. If you could use any spell you want with a cooldown it would make gameplay more strategic. The game just gets old fast, with a lot of drawn out cutscenes and 30 second ads
This game was and is still fun but it would've been a 5 star when I played it before these few updates. First of all, the game freezes almost every single game because you unleash a spell just before you lose which makes the bug inevitable. Secondly, many of the symbols are almost impossible and/or very picky to write like the Green E and the Purple wv. Finally, the power-ups. Not only are they very hard to get but once you buy them with ingame currency, they very rarely appear. 2 Stars ; Broken
I really like this game, its very adicting. However there is a bug when the mage doesnt die and you cant really do anything but restart the game, that makes you loose all the progress and coins. Im really looking forward to get it fixed :)
It was great until you bombarded it with ads, cool move. Also may I add, the bottled fairy that spawns in the game that if you pop it it'll give you a revive if you watch their ad, if you decide not to pop it and ignore it, it will continue to constantly spawn every 5 seconds and it gets really f##king annoying. Please remove this feature, like come on, it's just repetitive
Good game, frequent crashes. The audio continues to play but the game completely freezes. Restarting the game fixes it for a moment, but it crashes again shortly thereafter. Occurs during menu transitions, as you start a new game or get defeated. Too bad, I was a huge fan.
Used to be a good game until the recent update. No problem w adds bc i always play offline but they raised the platform so we could only see half of the screen which is pretty annoying. The balloon choices r getting too easy so it gets boring and when the boss arrives the balloon doesnt appear in time so i ended up loosing, BECAUSE THE BALLOON R TOO SLOW
Great concept, great game, except for the part if you get past the 100 mark in Insane mode the game bugs (not sure about other game modes), it either freezes completely if you lose, or the Wall of Fire ability doesn't go away after an enemy has been burned down.
I really like the game but I would rate it higher if this game breaking bug were fixed: most of the times I die nothing happens and I'm stuck in the dieing animation. Resulting on me losing my score as the only way out is restarting the game... I have a Samsung a32 4G android 11
Good and challenging game. I really like it. But there is a bug where if i die 2 times, the games just stops and glitches. I saw a review with the same concern and would like to tell you that it is completely true.
Glitch: every time i die in arcade mode it just sits there with the pilar of flame coming from the enemy that touched down instead of going to the game over screen. And i remember when the wizard moved to the last spot your finger was; where is that feature? Otherwise, good time consuming game.
The game is great but it is really frustrating that every time a game is over the screen just freezes and when I exit the app the progress I made would be lost and its the same no matter how much I restart the app The game was good before its nostalgic to me so please fix this bug
Glitch where every second try or so, it will not pass to the game over screen after I lose, which means I have to exit completely, sacrificing my score in the process. Really too bad...the game play is fun, but the glitch is constant
Good game but horribly optimized. Crashes after almost every defeat, usually when you draw a spell right as the enemy hits the bottom of the screen. Should be a simple fix if they bothered to bug test.
Love this game! Allows people with strong visual memory/perceptions to finally beat those who are usually better at games. A suggestion: maybe make it so that after we purchase spells we can choose which ones to appear in game. I mean I don't like some spells so i'd like to have the option of choosing that it won't appear in game, so the other spells have more opportunity to appear.
Used to be a great game, but since the last update the game constantly crashes while the audio keeps going. Restarting the app solves it, but this happens after every run you do. Seems like it's related to the game trying to load ads every time. Such a shame, it was a great game before these things were added.
