  • Too glitchy

    I’m on level 867 and at this point the game is too glitchy to be playable. At this level you have to try multiple times before figuring out how to complete the level and I watch ads to have the undos to help me out. I tried to watch an ad and it was glitching so bad that even though I finished watching the ad I didn’t get the x pop up to go back to the game so I had to force exit after a few minutes and I didn’t even get the undos. So frustrating. Pro tip: I figured out that if you turn off your wifi and data you won’t get an ad every time you start over or go to the next level
  • Good game but needs a change.

    When searching “no ad games” this pops up further down the list. There’s ads after everything you do, and almost every “free” reward is locked behind a video ad. On top of that, the “large pack” pops up every time you open the game and there’s no option to make it never show up again. The other major problem is it being absolutely impossible to get S grade on a level after you’ve already done it once, completely defeating the purpose of going back to play older levels. The reason for this? One of the criteria for S grade is beating the level first try, which even if you come back to do and beat without hitting the reset button is impossible. I will give credit where credit is due, the graphics are good looking with the hand drawn look and simple animations.
  • Too many ads!

    Its a fun game. But the levels are shorter than the ads in between! It gets old FAST! Since when has leveling felt like a punishment? since i started playing this game. A level takes anywhere from about 30 seconds-3 minutes. Youre awarded 20 tokens for completing it, but youve got to watch 1 min 30 seconds of ads or pay 200 tokens to skip it, in order to get to the next level. Someone help me understand Also hints are ads, undos are ads, switches are ads. So many ads. Cant skip, gotta watch the whole thing.. i could see this being a go to game for me, but only play maybe 3 levels every….super occasionally…. Cause leveling up feels more like a punishment than a good thing.
  • TERRIBLE

    Don’t get me wrong the game is really fun and addicting. And this wouldn’t be a problem for someone who has good patience and likes a good challenge. Anyways whenever I go the Advanced Gameplay and click on Ranked Match. It tells me I lose a life, and I expect to go straight into the game, I prepare my self and everything. But to my disappointment, it sends me into an add. Ugh. Adds. The bad thing about it though is that your game has already started and when the add is FINALLY over, you start a match that your destined to fail. Due to the fact that the game has already started. I HATE IT. It angers me so much that I lose my rank because of an extremely dumb add.
  • Messed up

    I really enjoy the ranked match part of this game. But it will make me watch two ads in between, which is a bit much, but tolerable. The problem is, whomever I am paired against, seems to not be watching ads. I keep losing matches because as soon as I can clock out of my ad, the other player is over half way complete with their puzzle. Making it nearly impossible for me to win. And if I decide to watch an ad for the “extra” tube slot, or the back button refill, I have to watch multiple ads and half the time I don’t even get the reward. Smh. I really liked this game but when it becomes impossible to win, why play
  • The funnest game

    It’s is the best game ever because first of all it’s fun and second of all it’s not a intense fast running or driving or racing etc. game it’s calming and relaxing and VERY enjoyable it also puts your brain to work cause it’s a thinking game so your head won’t be filled with garbage from playing this game their are also no bugs or problems….so this really is the best game ever

  • Clean and clever design, no exasperation

    Glad to finally find a satisfying logic / sorting puzzle that doesn’t require endless obnoxious pop up ads just to advance, even after I’ve paid to remove them! It feels much fairer and less irritating this way. This game is challenging without being stressful. I also appreciate the feature that doesn’t rely exclusively on color for sorting (you can use different shape markings too), which makes it more accessible for me. There are several fun side features and challenges to the game and opportunities for additional rewards, though I find the basic gameplay plenty satisfying on its own. Kudos to the designers!
  • Great game, but the ranked matches are almost impossible.

    I was playing a ranked match, but some competitors somehow managed to win in mere seconds. I’m at apprentice 3 level, and I don’t understand how they are able to beat a level that quickly. It’s impossible for a human to do! I think that there are bots in the ranked matches. This is not okay, please change this. These are required to unlock things, but I can’t unlock anything if there are bots that instantly win. Other than this major issue, the game is decent.
  • Don’t get! Uninstalling after reaching Top Rank!

    One update after another takes away functionality. Latest update in early May 2023 restricts the use of the Extra Tube in all play areas, so now it only holds one small portion, and you have to use another “tube” to get one more measly portion. Additionally, the Ranked Match play area further restricts the tools that can be used to only the 1 portion bottle, or the Go Back/Undo <— arrow, which means everyone who has NOT gotten the update has all of their tools and a HUGE unfair advantage! I had over 334 wins and a 90.6% before I tried the new version today. No way. Not fair, not fun. I’ve sunk entirely too much time into this game to keep wasting one more moment.

    I’m uninstalling right now.
  • Update Made Experience Worse

    I’ve been playing SortPuz for over a year. I loved that you could spin for different rewards, and could rack up some helpful gifts without having to watch a 60-second add for a 1/4 th of a tube. I would shave never updated except I wanted to change my name, and figured the update would have that feature. It does, but it’s randomly generated and costs 10 coins each randomization, which is reasonable I guess. I do enjoy some of the added challenges, but it’s become very un-motivating that certain helps aren’t as accessible. Having to watch all the pain staking ads make me stop playing the game for days at a time. I miss the old SortPuz!!
