The game has an interesting start unfortunately, every time I answered puzzles my phone would buzz, which I do NOT like (I didn't see an turn off option). THE BIGGEST DOWNSIDE was the constant ads, really takes away from the plot, puzzles and game. The movement of the character could use some work as well, sometimes while walking the view will turn 180, and the walking isn't as smooth as I've seen from other similar games. (Running is ok.)

I really like the puzzles and overall story. The hints are actually useful so if I'm stuck, they usually help me solve the puzzle. There are a lot of ads but manageable. The controls are difficult to use though and there is at least 1 bug where I can't pick up the Daily book on Day 8, which is frustrating. I see it but can't seem to click on it.

Great game! The animation is fantastic, most of the tasks are very simple or you can collect/earn chocolate bars to help you. My only complaint is I have 1 last task to complete, unfortunately every time I click on the door it says I've done the activity but it's not checked off. (a blue diamond shows you where to go). I wish I could start over instead of being stuck.
