I do like this game. I downloaded it 2 days ago and I am already hooked to it. the reason why I gave it only 3 stars though is the save/load system. after spending 3 days on the weekly challenge, hours of time and all my hints, I had it 90% solved and just wanted to save my progress. so I tap to save my game and instead it reset it. everything gone! all my effort, the hints I used and all the time trying to figure it out... gone!! and no way to restore. and there's no automatic save either. =(

Hi, I’m really glad you’re enjoying Akari! 😊 The game board is actually saved automatically, so your progress shouldn’t be lost. Could it be that you used the quick save and accidentally overwrote your progress? I know that’s frustrating—I'll look into making the quick save clearer. Thanks for your feedback, and I hope you keep having fun! 🔆

Started out great, adds only every third game and you get to chose when to watch it. Fun puzzles not to many adds, great game... But the developer has recently added extra adds after the game, randomly sometimes. Nothing else has changed, just extra adds now that you can't chose when to watch. I feal a little cheated, cuz the main reason i liked the game is cuz i never got an add unexpectedly... I hope there won't be even more adds forced in...

Hey Daniel! Thanks for the feedback! 😊 Just to clarify, "they" is actually just me working hard to make Akari fun! The interstitial ads have a cooldown of several days, so if you're seeing them too often, it might be a version issue or not properly closing them(?). Ads help me paying the high maintenance costs! Thanks again for playing! ✌️

Feels clunky and unpolished compared to the one from Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection. Why pay money for "packs" of levels with preset configurations when you can just play as much as you like however you like elsewhere? It's a free puzzle. That's like trying to charge people for Minesweeper.

Simon's collection is awesome, I won't argue against that 😜 ... my version focuses on leaderboards & daily challenges. If that's not your style, you probably installed the wrong app. As a solo dev, server costs for those interactive features add up daily, which is why I can't offer the whole game for free. Thanks for trying it ✌️
