## Review summary

Smash the Code is a clever, Mastermind-like puzzle that's highly replayable and engaging. Players enjoy the quick, logic-driven rounds, but frequently report bugs that hide guesses and prevent reviewing the final solution. Some sessions produce impossible results and confusion around the feedback dots. A few UX issues (e.g., no iPad landscape, readability and hints) are noted. Overall strong concept hindered by bugs and UX gaps.

- Guesses and hints can disappear or be hidden due to updates or bugs.
- Occasional incorrect or impossible results reported by the app that break trust in outcomes.
- UI/UX issues such as lack of landscape mode on iPad and unclear feedback dots/hints.
