Very fun and challenging puzzle game, and it even has an entertaining story to go with it. It also really feels like the focus is genuinely on actually presenting a good game, rather than just a good way to milk you for revenue. The ads are reasonably spaced out, and there's even a discount on the (already very reasonable) price to upgrade to ad-free once you've played for a bit.

It's pretty funny and definitely more fun to play than any of those alliance games with the fake ads that pressure you to play all the time or buy shields. This game is completely free with ads or a very small price for no ads. It's engaging without pressure to play.

There are many many pull pin clones on the app store. All of them cashing in on this game style, all of the forcing ads, or predatory IAPs, or putting this game style on top of other games to make money for their large corporations. But this game introduces us to the two developers straight away, gives us a way to totally turn off ads for a fair price - or not have many ads at all. And all that on a funny, original, charming game that does the pull pin gameplay better than every imitator. I will be recommending this game to others! Good job!

I've been waiting for a real pin pulling game for a while and this one has to be by far the best. It delivers on simple mechanics yet challenging puzzles, and also has a pretty funny story. But by far the BEST part about this game has to be the remove ad function. Lowering the price of the ad removing purchase based on player progression is such a genius idea, I'm completely sold. If I could give more stars, I would.

Sehr schöne Geschichte, macht echt Spaß. Nicht so viel Werbung und wenn man möchte dann kann man sie nach ein paar Leveln günstig entfernen. Ich bin begeistert, bis jetzt ist es das beste Spiel seiner Art. Bitte weiter so.

Ein Rätselspiel, wie es in der Werbung bei vielen Apps angezeigt wird, jedoch sich im Nachhinein immer als Irreführung herausstellte. Dieses Spiel hält jedoch, was es verspricht und es ist ein sehr angenehmes Rätselspiel für zwischendurch. Einzige Kritik, was jedoch das Spielerlebnis nicht einschränkt: Die deutsche Übersetzung ist nicht perfekt, macht es aber dadurch auch sympathisch, weil es vermuten lässt, dass ein kleines Entwicklerteam viel Arbeit investiert hat. Sehr cool!

I’m a big fan of puzzle games always have been. And I’ve always been frustrated with those pin game ads that were fake. It always seemed like a fun concept that those games never actually took advantage of. But this game has! This game is fun and challenging. The characters are intriguing as well. It’s not your typical brave knight and fair maiden. Instead it’s a spoiled princess and a spineless wizard (who also seems to be up to something shifty) I haven’t finished the game yet but I’ve been impressed so far and I expect it will continue to be satisfactory.

This is shockingly well executed. currently easy to dismiss ads, and easy to buy no ads. but the game itself is really well designed. the puzzles are very thought out, they added interesting secrets! for what is basically an annoying meme based on a bad ad, this game is the real deal. it's everything i imagined those stupid ads could be and more

Adorable, quirky & funny story. Good directions, fun animation style appropriate for kids or adults! Surprisingly entertaining & challenging without being impossible. Highly recommend if you're looking for fun & simple with a puzzle twist. Still early, but worth the download so far, great design guys, thank you!

This game is where it's at. Plenty of other reviews point it out, those ads for pin puzzle games really should point here. Normally I avoid free games because at some point they become p2w or worse p2p. Not this one, and the ads they do have (if you don't pay a reasonable small fee to remove them, devs gotta eat too) are not often enough to drive you nuts. Will probably end up paying to remove the ads myself just so there continue to be devs that produce good value, challenging, fun games.

Normally I'd never play this type of game. But I saw the Devs on Twitter mentioning how this is a REAL VERSION of the game you see in those stupid ads, and it REALLY IS!! I downloaded just to see if it was and ended up keeping it as it really is a decent game. It's no AAA but 1000x better then any of those fake ads you see and the puzzles are actually well designed and thought out! Game plays well and the physics engine is both practical and fun. 10/10 would legit recommend

I have been waiting for a pin game forever!!! This is finally it! No false advertising like other games. These people made a pin game because they knew how frustrating it was to see all those false ads when those games are only a tiny fraction of the overall game. This game here is purely PINS. And it’s challenging! 5 stars for giving the people want they want! I purchased for no ads to support because I think you deserve it! Thank you for this game! Please make number 2 with a brand new theme! Keep them coming! I will continue to pay if you do this. I request either jungle themed, space, or something like modern day where a person is trying to escape their apartment complex what has fire and water issues and other encounters along the way. Thanks again!

This is the game I've been waiting for. The game from the ads, that we've all wished the game would actually be, and got scammed by false advertising...SOMEONE MADE IT. And it's great. It could be a little easier to control, like an ability to punch zoom in and out would be nice, as sometimes the pins are the same size as the screen. But so far...he'll, I paid through the ad wall, and I've never been happier to spend money on a mobile game.

After seeing all of those annoying ads for all of those games that don't have this kind of puzzle it is refreshing to encounter the -actual- puzzles in this game. There's definitely a sense of humor in the story as well and I'm enjoying this immensely. Well worth the download. (and the no ads purchase).

5 звёзд и этим все сказано! Головоломка прекрасная, графика тоже. Мне нравится все! Хочется конечно побольше уровней (*шепотом* добавьте пожалуйста пожалуйста пожалуйста) Разработчики огромное вам спасибо за эту игру! o((*^▽^*))o

Yo paso el tiempo jugando puzzles y juegos de este estilo también, la verdad de tantos que he probado es el mejor porque tiene una historia que lo hace llamativo, aparte la princesa recorre el lugar y eso lo hace tan original y distinto que me encanta. Por cierto los anuncios no son tan molestos. De antemano felicito al creador de este juego porque es un crack se lo voy a descargar a mi sobrina en su celular también. ¡Éxitos!

Love this game. Got rid of the ads, easy peasy. Thank you. I also very much appreciate that l can play a level over until l get it. I'll be recommending this game to my gamer friends for sure. Again thank you for a smooth, fun game.

I've been dying to play a pin pulling game after seeing sooo many clickbait/fraud ads from other games that were nothing like what they showed...until THIS! Finally a fun pin pulling game thats true to whats advertised and truly rewarding! The storyline is also entertaining and gives the game more substance. I highly recommend you all try this game out, you will not be disappointed.

Challenging levels, beautiful story, and amazing physics! Such an underrated game and I’m so happy to have found this!

Есть сюжет с, о боги, проработанными персонажами! Юмор, на мой вкус, замечательный. Музыка не раздражает, как тут писали, а даже наоборот, приятно сводит олдскулы, денди вспоминается)) Сами головоломки пока простые, но усложняются с продвижением. Надеюсь заставят подумать)) Ещё нравится то, что игра не гонит вперёд на время. Рекламы немного и к месту (мне не жалко посмотреть пару роликов между некоторыми уровнями за хорошую игру). От меня большое мерси разработчикам!!) Посмотрю другие проекты.

Искала игру, в которой описание игры соответствовало бы геймплею - фейковая реклама раздражает. Аллилуйя, нашла. Головоломки не сложные, но на перебор вариантов требуется терпение. Приятно отличается от других игр, где даже с набором уровней сложность не увеличивается. Рекламы меньше, хотя бы потому, что на прохождение уровня тратится не две секунды. Рекламу можно убрать - за денюжку, да - но будет скидка, если играешь хорошо. Минус - нельзя играть лёжа, экран переворачивается.

Все знают что стержни двигаются, так вот, я всем хейтерам его в жопу засуну! А игра КЛАСНАЯ и разработчики просто молодцы так держать!

This is a really fun game to play. Fun puzzles that make you think. Great graphics. I will be buying this app soon. Love the opportunity to lower the cost of purchased based on use of the app. It is very obvious that the developers have spent a lot of time on designing it. Thank you so much.

Fun, challenging puzzles. Witty humour. Free version is great, but I paid to remove ads with a discount from collected in-game stars. A good example of a game that you want to support but are not forced to to enjoy [Edit:] The more I played the more the game grew on me! Love how the story is reflected on the levels you play. Even the game mechanics are explained by the characters! (I LOVE little details like that). Some of the levels were getting on my nerve, but with patience and trial n error they always started to make sense. Sometimes there's even several solutions to one level. (with good reflexes and luck) I can tell there's a lot of love put into this game. Thank you for making this game and sharing it!

Very well designed, you can see that it was developed with care. Really challenging, unlike many others that practically force you to do it according to your own stupid logic for not having another option available.

Разработчики, вы лучшие! Спасибо вам за такую чудесную игру! Рада, что хоть кто-то создал такую игру! Но у меня есть парочка предложений: 1) Создать свой уровень(это можно сделать после того как пройдешь определенное кол-во уровней) 2) Сложность логики(нежная, нормальная, подлая) Это все! Удачи вам! 5/5 звезд вы заслужили честным трудом)

I am willing to pay for games that fulfill my expectations for a challenging game. I have been looking for a really good pull the pin game, and this is it. It’s smart, interesting, and builds on what I have learned while adding in new elements. It is genius. I watched the ads for some time, then bought the “no ad” option as I got more involved in the game What I like: levels are difficult but doable, the secret levels search adds a bit more fun, and the storyline is interesting. I loved the pinball episode with the rolling balls. Extremely creative What I don’t like: I wish the princess didn’t have to be rescued. While this game has a relatively equal relationship between the man and woman (better than my former favorite Hero Rescue), there are some sexist elements with how nasty and greedy she is and how she expects to be waited on. Their relationship becomes more equal as they go along, but they could tweak the relationship more to make it a partnership without sacrificing much of the story line I wish I could start over at the point where the characters die rather than restarting at the beginning of the level. The game requires a lot of planning ahead, and one false move and you have to completely restart. This gets tedious Overall, an amazing game. I highly recommend it!

Спасибо, я мечтал о ней! Я шыроко открыл рот от удивления, когда увидел эту игру, т.к. везде обман! Еще раз спасибо!

Спасибо большое за эту игру, каждый раз натыкаясь на эти фейковые рекламы я расстраивалась, что это не настоящий геймплей. И вот свершилось! Ещё раз спасибо и успехов вам в дальнейших разработках, чтоб они приносили людям удовольствие а вам денюжку)

Привет! Я супер-фанатка вашей игры HowToLoot и я очень-очень жду-не дождусь выпуска новых уровней.. Известно ли что-нибудь о возможно дате выхода новых эпизодов? Я купила полную версию и оставила отзыв, есть ли ещё что-то, что я могу сделать, чтобы поспособствовать? ️Спасибо

Yes!! What I’m looking for, this game is a REAL pull the pin! There is one thing, can you make more levels? I mean, you have to PAY for more levels? There was only 8, and I’d love more, sense this is a legit game! Other than that, 5 star rating! Edit: thank you! This is great to know more levels coming soon, and yes, it is a very fair price indeed! (I shouldn’t be complaining, I saw a game once with only 3 levels, and saw more reviews that said it was Way way to easy.) so, overall, I can see paying for more levels, or you could just wait, because I know the developers want a great game for people to play, so they do updates! I will make sure to tell my sister and cousin about this, they’re going to LOVE this game!!

Love this game. Challenging but not impossible. Will need to learn the obstacles to go through levels. May take several times to get through it. Lots of fun! More please!

OMG! Could it be that you have just found an entertaining game in which the story is also HUGE FUN? You are right!! A thousand thanks to the creators for making a good game and, above all, for giving importance to the story ... AND TO THE HUMOR !! I have already recommended you! I wish you good luck !!

Finally a well-made, pretty, bug-free pull-the-pin. [edit] I initially rated this game 4 stars, but following a very nice discussion with its developer, and given that this game remains (in my opinion) the best "pull the pin" of the apple store and that it is developed by a small independent company, I have reviewed my vote. I hope this game will snub the big development firms and their intrusive and deceptive advertisements.

Absolutely love this game and it’s theme. The story is a cute and fun addition. Thanks to the devs for a great game that isn’t riddled with ads!! All the others are unplayable with ads every two seconds this one isn’t like that at all. Love it!! UPDATE: Thank you to the devs for your reply to my review and your honesty. It is very difficult to get good, honest devs it seems who communicate with their audience. It really means a lot!! I purchased the next chapter for 0.99 and can’t wait to keep playing ad free!! It is sad people feel they rather watch ads instead of support people who make things they enjoy. People will pay $60 for a console game or $10+ for a movie ticket but won’t even pay 0.99 cents for a mobile game! Makes zero sense to me. Either way, I’m glad I was able to support you through my purchase of chapter one! Looking forward to many more ad free levels!! Thanks again, you and your team are amazing!! Keep up the great work and don’t let those who feel entitled to get something for nothing bring you down!

I have bought several of these “pull the pin games” recently and I can say that this is by far the best in gameplay and enjoyment. Trust me, you won’t find a better how to loot game than this. Developers: Keep up the good work, love your game!!!!!

Great game! Love the art, concept and overall design. Mad props to the developers as well for taking the time to respond to their reviews vs having their bots respond with stock answers that will never be of any concern to them. Maybe their responses aren't what people always want to hear, and thank f'in glob for that! Means there are still real people in the world and not everything has become purely "corporate". You guy's and gals are doing great with this game, thanks for keeping it real!✌

As many have said, this is a real pin pull game, no glitches, well done. Also have the option for ad free for $5, reasonable. I downloaded others that were glitchy and ads every 15 sec. (scams). I downloaded this one because the developers were responsive to other gamers and the reviews. I hope there will be many more levels to come. Those that love games will gladly pay a one-time price assuming the game grows. Thank you!

Thank you for your kind assistance! I love this game! A little history on me, I have Multiple Sclerosis and have some cognitive issues. I believe games like this help me keep my brain sharp by using critical thinking skills. Thank you again and I’m enjoying the game immensely! I have figured it out!
