No payouts anymore. AVOID

I played this game for months and could always cash out my sats whenever I wanted to. Since the start of the year the earnings rate dropped significantly so it wasn’t even really worth playing anymore.
But it gets worse. Now you can’t even cash out anymore. I have been trying once a month for the last 3 or 4 and contacting support they say they are working on it but I feel like it’s going the way most of these games do.. ghost games.. AVOID!

Great game

Would give 5 stars if the instruction “place the figure on the field” went away, that’s rather obvious, it also covers the field annoyingly. I’m also a bit dubious about the scoring system it needs to be more obvious, I swear sometimes it doesn’t change at all even after three blocks have been cleared all at once. Update. Another thing that would polish the game is fixing game ending bugs such as the missed flip figure bug described in other reviews. You should be able to see the endgame field instead of just the game over screen , the game has ended prematurely a number of times yet I can’t see why. Thanks again!

Game has changed massively since I “bought” the game, and originally wrote this review.I am now being inundated with ads again and pressed intensively to buy subscription.
Not happy. Will probably delete.

Bitcoin Confusion

Edited: I saw developers response on a similar review, and figured it out, so I’m happy, but there should be less confusion about how to earn and cash out on the app itself, like during the tutorial.

ZBD app states “ Braindoku by Murka Games is a super-satisfying mobile puzzle game that merges a Sudoku grid with the shape-stacking of Tetris and rewards you with real Bitcoin for solving block puzzles.” However, I have not found anyway on the game to earn/cash out Bitcoin. It’s a decent game, but the whole reason I downloaded this one over similar games was to earn and there doesn’t seem to be a way to do this as advertised.

Level 329 freezes third time

Bottom middle square- there are 3 keys bellow 3 pearls and 3 cracked pots. There are rows of diamonds on top. After the pearls are removed, I make a tile row which includes two of the keys. They are supposed to unlock 2 locks, which automatically removes 2 rows of diamonds, but only the top of the diamond rows disappears, and the game freezes (the app doesn’t crush) the game in no longer responsive to any touch of the screen. I’m using iOS 15.7 on iPhone SE.

Hello Mamary, We sincerely apologize for the issue that you faced. You could try to clear the cache, restart the device and ensure that enough memory is available. We hope one of these tips works for you. If not, please contact us at http://bit.ly/contact_brain Wishing you well! {9}

Bait and switch

I’ve had this game since the beginning. I have lived through the “pay $5.99 to remove ads” that removed nothing. But still I play because it can be so calming. 2 updates ago the journeys appeared and I hated it but I found the free play option so I was okay. Then I bought the option to flip my blocks and I loved it! I figured out that even if it didn’t let me flip my last block it would save the game and let me start where I left off next time. I hate this new version. I don’t want to earn points to be able to do something I PAID FOR. I just want to be able to relax and play this for as long as I want. 5 stars for the concept of the game, 1 for the continued changes I didn’t want.
Update: now the free play option is gone and the journeys are being updated so they don’t currently exist, AND the daily puzzle costs $$ now. So greedy. There’s nothing for me here anymore and you were my go-to game for years and years.

Hello! We're sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the changes. Now we are forming a new economy in the game and experimenting with the app as a whole. We will pass on your point to our devs. Also, please note that it is still possible to play for free. We hope that your opinion will change positively and we will reach new heights together! {1}

Free Play mode……GONE?!

What just happened to Free Play mode? Although the app is still good and fun to earn days for the ZBD account, but since I started using the app, I really enjoyed it a lot with the free play feature in the app. And now, without it, it’s starting to get a little bit boring.

I would really appreciate it if you bring back the Free Play mode to the app because in my opinion, it is more enjoyable to play than the mission mode.

Any updates about the free play mode would be totally appreciated!

Buggy new version

Awful game. Will now deinstall as it keeps saying no more moves in error. Shame as this was previously a good game

Response from developer

Hello! We're sorry to hear that news. Since the latest update, a limit was added for moves in the game. You can see it in the upper panel to the left of the progress bar. When the limit runs out, you need to start over or buy some additional moves to continue. However, we ensured that it is possible to pass levels without purchases, so we recommend you try again. Best regards! {1}

Money grabbing

Not only have you got to pay to get rid of ads (which I did previously!) you now have to pay to play all daily levels which includes ad free gaming 🤷🏻‍♂️ why should I pay twice for this! Sorry it’s a no for me deleting app!

Response from developer

Hi, Mitch. Thanks for getting in touch. Pay attention that the opportunity to participate in the daily challenge is still free if you play it each day. And for the purchase of a subscription, you can get some additional options. Also, note that the ad-free subscription game is no longer available. Now we are forming a new economy in the game and experimenting with the game as a whole. Be sure we will pass on your experience to our team. Hoping you change your mind, and we will see you among our players again. Kind Regards. {1}

3 hours net me 0 sats

Many games at least give me 1.
Deleted.

Response from developer

Hello Kyle, We're sorry to hear that you deleted the game. Please note that Satoshi is only an additional bonus in our game. The main purpose of our game is to entertain our players, it's an interesting way to kill time. We hope you change your mind and give our game another chance. Best regards! {22}

No more free play

And just like that, no more free play, just daily challenge and journey, thanks for the lousy update

Response from developer

Hello, Micker! We're sorry to hear that. People have different tastes, and we constantly experiment to improve the app for all players. We will pass on your point to our devs. Hope they will release something interesting for you in the future. Have a great day! {1}
