I couldn’t find a way to contact the developers other then this so here you go. There is this app called Haru cats - fun slide puzzle and it is a very similar game. Nothing wrong with that slidey games are common. The issue becomes with the design for their blocks. They look the exact same as the designs in this game, particularly the very unique electric cats from this game. When I’m talking same, I’m talking almost EXACT same just in the slightly different style of the game. Same color, little lightning bolt on the face, same expression. I think they were made after this game which means it’s very likely that they copied you. Just wanted to let you know of the existence of this app if you want to do anything about it.

I love playing the cat version where the blocks are meowing cats. So fun! But the ads are so predatory and long! I get so angry after waiting and waiting only to be forced to click an x that actually takes you to the app store, again and again, until it FINALLY lets you leave to go back the game. At which point I feel so angry I barely want to play anymore. Be careful if you have kids that play the free version, cuz these ads are designed to get you reeled in to a purchase whether you like it or not. It would be great if we could just have regular ads that dont seek to manipulate and trick you. Also, I like that you are occasionally rewarded with supplies to help win the game but the frequency ought to be greater. When I run out of supplies and die, I don’t want to play again for a long time. I’ve enjoyed this game for years mainly because of the cat component along with the strategy game. But the problems Ive described definitely cause me to play much LESS frequently (often for weeks or months at a time) than I would if the annoying problems were gone.

1/31: UPDATE I upgraded my review from 3 to 5 stars. The support team sent me an email letting me know the problem had been fixed in the newest update. Apparently other people had the same problem and they responded by fixing the problem! I really do enjoy this game!I just updated a couple days ago .. now the video components no longer work so you can'tget extra gems for watching one nor can you double rewards .. now you can only claim what you're offered. I wrote tech support but never heard back from them.

I like the game itself and the peaceful building of the villages. The graphics on the main elements - the game, the villages - are good. The graphics for other areas seem weak though. I like playing this, I do, but the ads are such a pain. More often than not, the ads never have a close out button appear and you have to close out of the app to get out of the ad. That makes it pointless to ever continue a game by watching an ad. You’ll sit through the ad and end up stuck at the end. That’s particularly true with the Royal gem game ad. If I see one I just close the game because there’s little chance I’ll be able to get out of the ad anyway.
