HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (4043 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ You've ruined a perfectly good game with your money hungry update.
★★★★★ In about 5 minutes, I cleared 4 levels and was met with 4 popups, 2 of which were for their $10/month subscription.
★★★★★ This entices players to spend real life money via micro-transactions for in-game coins, which is, of course, terrible from players' perspectives.

14 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The player is given five hearts, and once the player fails a level three times, he loses a heart.
★★★★★ I have been a loyal fan of this game for years, but the latest update has completely broken the experience.
★★★★★ They also added a lives system where if you fail a level too many times, you either have to wait 15 minutes or watch an ad and they wiped like half of my progress.

★★★★★ And the limited attempts and candies have taken away one of the best parts in the original game.

★★★★★ There is no way to close them out except by closing the app.
★★★★★ I was just playing this game and then they updated it out of nowhere and now the games completely different and they bumped me up a whole box and I didn't finish the last one and there's no way to go back now I guess.

WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • You have only 5 candies to work with for a stage, which is now 3 stitched together back to back, and you need all the stars in a perfect run, also no back tracking to previous boxes. 1★, Oct 17, 2026
  • This game used to be very fun and I played it almost every day but now this game has been ruined by ai and ads and that really stinks because this game was very good and now it sucks and I wish you can bring back the… 1★, Sep 28, 2026
  • Zeptolab, please bring back the original version of the game because the fans prefer it and this new version is going to have people view you like Rovio which is not a good thing. 1★, Sep 28, 2026
  • It was perfect the way it was, simple rope cutting puzzle game but you had to monetize it & add a life system to a game that was mostly trial & error? 1★, Sep 28, 2026
  • There is no reason I should have to watch an ad right after each level….a few years ago it wasn't like this now you want us to pay 10$ to get no ads what is this???? 1★, Aug 16, 2026
  • Please move the abilities to somewhere like the settings, or add an “are you sure” option 4★, Aug 6, 2026
  • Additive and clever with not too many ads—only wish there were more levels 5★, Jul 31, 2026
  • This game is fun but I think it would be better with less adds, a lot of people don't want to play with adds 3★, Jul 19, 2026

Worth the money1%

3 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

Very Bad Now!!!

The new features are terrible. I liked going back to previous levels and what happened to the candies and ropes I put actual time into collecting. This is theft. App is garbage now.
