Scam - Blocks given are intentially wrong for puzzle
The game starts fun. Then after awhile you'll start to notice the shapes they give you are intentially wong/backward for the current state of the puzzle. You have to use coins/tokens to flip them to make them fit. You run out of these tokens quickly and you have to purchase more. Without having tokens to flip the parts the game eventually becomes annoyingly unbeatable and there's no way to be successful at it. It would be so much better/more fun if the blocks were truly given at random but it's very obvious they are dispensed in an orientation that forces you to make in-app purchases to be successful. I had fun and found it relaxing for awhile but now I truly do not recommend.

Blockscapes is fun and challenging
My title says it all! When you just to unwind from a stressful day Blockscapes is wonderful. It makes you think of what is before you on the screen and NOT whatever has been bothering you.
It also helps to keep your mind sharp! You really have to plan the placement of each block. Sometimes there is only one place to put the block, but that is rare. You seriously have to plan 2 placements ahead. So it really does require concentration especially in the higher levels as you advance.
It’s a wonderful way to block everything out of existence and before you know, you will become so engrossed in the game you will forget what has been bothering you!!

Ads!!!
I’ve played this game for years as it’s very addictive. Problem is recently there has been an ad that pops up in the middle of playing and you have to exit out of it twice to get back to your game. A few seconds after it pops up again and keeps doing this whilst playing the level. I don’t want to delete this game but will if this is not sorted.

Quite a challenge to better yourself
What are coins for?
This is a relaxing and compelling game. It’s sometimes slow but I just hit the back button and then Play and it usually perks up. However I’ve just won a ton of coins in a tournament but there doesn’t seem to be anything to spend them on! Very odd.
One of the Best
I don’t usually rate games but this game deserves to be recognised. It’s like the perfect game. First of all: ADS. There are, of course, ads. But there’s not too many that it puts you off the game. I’ve been playing for ten minutes now and there’s only been one ad! Also the background music is super calming and the game has really good quality. The good thing about this game is that it’s for anybody. Kids, teenagers, adults, elderlies and can all play this! This game is absolutely amazing and deserve five stars. Believe me when I say I am doing you a huge favour by telling you to download this app and play this game.

Great game- Ads are OBNOXIOUS- App is glitchy at
I actually really enjoy playing this game but I am deleting it off of my phone and will look for an app that is similar. The reason I am deleting the app is because of the amount of ads one is forced to watch to watch if you don’t pay to remove the ads. I totally get the reason the developers put the ads in their games but this game and so many others out there now literally have you watching an ad after every game you play. It’s obnoxious!!!
Like I said I’m okay with ads to have a free version of the games available but when you are spending just as much time watching ads sometimes longer than you actually play the game, I would rather just not play the game anymore!
On top of the ads the app is glitchy and seems to freeze a lot and I have an iPhone 13 running the latest iOS update, so it’s not a phone issue!
I know I can pay to remove ads for a certain amount of days, but i just don’t have disposable income like that to waste with the shape the economy is in my money is needed in way more important places! I have to worry about everything that is important before I spend money inside of these apps and there just isn’t a whole lot of it left over for spending money inside of these apps!

Frustrating and Stressful!
This game is excellent when you are new to it, but becomes highly frustrating after that! I played it on and off for years, and my highest score is 5,300. Looking at the top score, currently it’s 851,000. How is that even possible?? At one point there were scores in the millions which I believe were fake! I searched the web for hints or videos showing how to get high scores but there is nothing, so it seems it’s all fictional. The newer features like the magnet icon take very long time to activate as the designers are very stingy with coins, and it’s so easy to hit the icons accidentally while playing which burns your coins at the wrong time! They should build some undo function or move these buttons to the top so you don’t accidentally activate them!
Also, the ads are too long and appear every time you lose, which could be seconds some rounds! The ads tend to repeat which is also annoying. They should give you coins for watching these ads to make this bearable!
In short, this could be a great game but it’s too frustrating and very difficult.

Ads are taking over
Have played this game for quite a while and enjoyed it until now. Recently however ads for the particular game Gardenscapes, pops up and it takes a good 30 to 40 seconds to play all if the advert through. There is no X marker to close down the advert. You just have to let it play the whole scenario through. Very boring, very time consuming waiting for the thing to finish playing. Why are you allowing this to happen? We should have a choice of whether we want to see the whole advert or not?

Response from developer
We would love to have any information you can provide on ads like that so we can stop them. If you have time to send a screenshot or app name you can tap the settings menu in-game and contact support to send any info you have. We would really appreciate it. Thanks for playing.
Could be better
I really think they could make this game better. I don’t mind ads at all but I hate that I can’t spin the pieces as needed like in Tetris. I could seriously play this game for hours and hours if I could spin pieces as I need. Also, always give pieces that have a potential solution and let us figure it out. But if we know those three pieces have some kind of solution for sure, I’d sit forever trying to figure it out. Either that or give as the next piece as we use a piece so we can plan ahead. But pick one of those options. There’s def ways to make the game better and more fun to use long term.
