Great game but on screen ads glitchy
This is a fab game and the whole family plays it all the time! But I am getting absolutely frustrated with the onscreen adverts which suddenly slow down the game it lags to the point you can’t play it anymore! I’m on an iPhone 8 Plus that is only a year old so I don’t believe it’s my phone! If you sort this out I’ll happily rewrite the review with 5 stars!Show lessDeadkennedygirl
Addictive but has issues
I like this game a lot, it’s totally addictive, but it really needs some refinement. I play it on a iPad with loads of memory and yet at times it lags and becomes excruciating to play, especially when your time is ticking down! If I completely close the app and then reopen, it reopens partway through the game where I was before so it’s clearly not closing properly, and this also seems to have a knock on effect on other apps. I also think there could be some extra features, like being able to go back to the menu halfway through a game. It currently feels very basic.Show lessLouise0306
Fun, but a Few Issues
First of all, there’s WAY too many ads. It’s really annoying when in the middle of playing it says “Ad Break!” And plays a thirty second advertisement 🙄 that’s ridiculous. It does it every time you reach certain levels, AND every time you die. Stupid.
Also, there’s a timer to each time it moves up a row of blocks, and the timer is too short to only have one game mode. I think it would be AWESOME if they added like a zen mode with no timer, or at least added an easy, medium, @ hard option, with the current timer as the medium level. I'm twenty years old and I still haven’t made it past merging to 25 (I’ve never had a game make me feel so dumb).
Other than that though, it is really fun. Definitely challenging (clearly). I just think it needs a few updates. I also think it would be cool if they had color options for settings. Just a thought 💭Show lessHunter Faith
Shame about the ads,
I want to start by saying I understand why this game has ads, it’s free to play and I know the developers need to finance the game somehow, however the level of ads in this game honestly ruins it. Any non-in-game related activity leads to an ad. This includes even starting up the app! On multiple occasions I have opened the app straight onto an add. Whenever I pause the game there’s another add, it’s just excessive! I think this game could still be great and incorporate ads if the amount of ads was brought down. Sadly for now though I’m deleting this app with the hopes that this improves in the future, at which point I will happily play it again.Show lessKirstyGriffith
Too Many Ads when the app even opens
I am addicted to this game. However, recently it seems there have been more ads added. Some are only 15 seconds but some are 30 seconds. You can’t sign on or move up a level without watching an ad. I play many other games. I understand the reason for having ads. But really this game has an excessive amount compared to others.
Also on May 1 a major glitch happened and it continues today. When I open the game an ad pops up immediately but it doesn’t load. The white and blue circle just keeps turning. I have logged out and back in. Still the ad won’t load. Therefore I can’t play the game anymore. Will delete the game if not corrected soon.
Update: May 9. They fixed the issue with the ads not loading a week ago. Yeah! Then yesterday it slowly started doing it again. Today it’s happening a lot more often. I guess the fix was only temporary.Show lessgaming2019
Good concept, poor execution!
The concept is the game is good - it’s a challenge to match the numbers with all the connections and the new numbers getting on. My biggest issue is that this game lags so much for no reason. When you first get the game it is very smooth, but after a few plays the dragging and merging becomes slow and glitches. Many times if there are two similar numbers on different rows, but each number is connected to a string of multiple numbers (so that it can’t freely fall on to the similar number), if I get a similar number and try to put it on the top one it goes on the bottom instead. This is ridiculous and makes you lose on purpose! I bought the ad-free version but found out that it glitched/lagged the same exact way! I get the commercials are annoying, but I could put up with them, but the glitch/lag is HORRIBLE!! It wasn’t like this in the previous version and I can’t roll back to the version either!!!Show lessElektrikblack
Fun But Bad Ad Timing
The concept is clever and absolutely fun! The game functions well. Sadly, ads interrupt the actual gameplay, completely taking you out of the groove of the game and killing your focus, and this usually happens once things are already hectic and concentration is of the utmost importance. I think this hinders the developer’s chances of turning a decent profit since most reviews will complain about this annoying aspect, and potential players will be turned off from downloading in the first place. We all know at this point that free games come with ads, but smart placement is the key to perpetuating a player base. Ads are fine between individual playthroughs of this game, since a single game can be many minutes long, but ads that interrupt the gameplay EVER are unacceptable. Developers, please fix this fatal design flaw.Show lessStylist plus numbers
Too much ad breaks
I really enjoyed the game itself, but the “ad breaks” just got too much. I understand the game is free to download thus the creators need to make money somehow, but being stopped multiple times during what should be a minute of game play is just ridiculous. Especially a game which is a “speed” game which implies a degree of suspense and tension. In addition, there comes a point at which the bottom blocks are joined together in such a manner that it is virtually impossible to get there. I appreciate an additional level of difficulty jointing blocks introduces, but when you have a block of 5 on top of a few smaller blocks it’s just too much. The reason I’ve given it only two stars is because I will be deleting the game (due to excessive advertising breaks), yet still enjoyed it which makes it even more frustrating.Show lessGibbluk
Love it but reward required
I love this game! I love the challenge and the quick thinking but imagine my disappointment when I finally achieved the magical 20 Block and there was no reward!! At least remove 2 or 3 lines from the bottom so there is a point to achieving the 20 block!!Lisalou1011
Yep!
Okay, so yeah I agree with everyone about the ads being too long and too frequent... but that seems to be most games now.
I do disagree with the people saying that it’s too fast. I feel it actually makes the game challenging and makes you think quickly as the layers build up! I feel of it were slower I would grow tired of the game for the lack of challenge.
I have managed a game that lasted over an hour with a score of above 30,000 points accumulated... so to say that it is too fast I think is just a warning for those looking for a game to quieten the mind... because it’s not for that.
Great game and because of this I paid for the ad free... because honestly I want to keep smashing my high scores and the ads are too distractingShow lessJessii-moon
