Def. awesome, but could be a bit more generous

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.

Beautiful graphics

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 ₽. 🙏

Tricked ya!

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.

Relaxing and fun

The graphics of the 3D worlds are crisp and beautiful in this “find the difference” game. The presentation is nice and the game is enjoyably challenging. Ads are fairly limited for a free game, but when they are forced, they seem to be exceptionally long compared to forced ads in other games I’ve played. My only real complaint is the constant pop-up asking me if I want to use a hint. I know how to use a hint if I want to. The frequent interruptions negatively impact this otherwise tranquil and relaxing game. After passing a few levels, these hint requests should go away entirely. Fix that, and I’ll give the fifth star in my rating. Fantastic game otherwise.

Do the “magic eye” trick

Pretty game, nice music. I’d suggest the devs prevent holding the phone sideways because if you do that, you can cross your eyes a bit and once the doubles meet in the middle, all the differences stick out. Like the way you do old magic eye books where you look “through” the page, and the patterns double. Then when the patterns match the 3D image reveals itself? Well, do that here and the differences appear as odd, ghosted spots. Can literally finish a level in 30 seconds or less.

You were doing so well

I played thru the first chapter and then you tell me it’s 4.99 for the rest of the game. I have no problem paying for games but just charge me the 4.99 upfront don’t hit me ten levels in with no warnings. Just saying in app purchases is different then requiring a payment after we have been playing I love the graphics and music but this really annoyed me. What’s next a bill for $10 to do the last half of the game? Some of the differences are just slight shading difference in the color and with my phone it’s very hard to identify even when a hint had to be used to call it out

Great but,

I knew I would love this game from the demo it lets you play. From the art work to the hard but actually easy things I miss. Everything is nice. I even bought the game for $2 basically but I was very disappointed when, even though I had bought the full game, it still wanted to charge me for hints. Just the pet peeve but I hate when you buy a full game. Even on console or pc and it makes you pay for extra things. Other than that great game. Hopefully a second one comes out with even more levels!

All about the hints! Don’t pay for first unlock, because it just becomes impossible! PAYWALL GAME

Unfortunately it seems that once you pay to unlock the game, it become ridiculously difficult, what was fun for the first 10 or so levels becomes redundant and purposefully impossible so you feel the need to spend money on hints! Avoid because what they call different is literally a shade difference in color and so obscure that they purposely have one item that is impossible to find without a hint. Why entice us to pay a small fee to unlock something that is impossible once you pay it! People hate paywalls! Avoid
