Is someone looking at fixing this? ### 2/5 — Way too many ads *2025-12-27, version 3.0.7* Great game but an obscene amount of ads In both apps. ### 2/5 — Locked blocks *2025-12-23, version 3.0.6* I am very unhappy with the new locked blocks. The game is no longer fun. I have been playing for more than a year. Was my favorite, now I’m done. ### 4/5 — Unlock ? *2025-12-21* How go you unlock the tiles. Nearly every one has a lock or a key on it **Developer response:** Thanks for your question! To unlock tiles, often you need to complete certain challenges or levels. If you need specific help, please contact us at support@unicostudio.co and we'll gladly assist 🙋🌟 ### 1/5 — Hi *2025-12-09, version 3.0.4* I gave this a 1 star because ads ### 2/5 — Locks up constantly *2025-12-05, version 3.0.4* When you get to the higher levels of this game, you’ll find that it locks up constantly. Additionally, the math in it is incorrect. It will tell you that 2 x 2 is 8, etc. initially, it’s a fun game. But that goes away pretty quickly. ### 2/5 — Game hangs from time to time *2025-12-04, version 3.0.4* Have been playing the game and paid for it. Reached ‘gi’ and the server is slow and start to hangs for 5 to 10 seconds. It’s getting irritating. ### 3/5 — I want to love it, but… *2025-11-28* Gameplay freezes way too often! I paid to remove ads because I thought that was part of it, but it’s still happening every few moves. It’s an addicting game and very frustrating to wait to unfreeze to keep playing. If the bugs were removed, I’d give it 5 stars. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the freezing issues. Our team is working to improve game stability. If you would like a refund please contact support@unicostudio.co with your details. ### 2/5 — Could be good, if it worked *2025-11-25, version 3.0.3* Game freezes for several seconds at least every 2 minutes. ### 2/5 — 反応しない *2025-11-24, version 3.0.3* 広告表示の関係か、全く反応しなく、その途中で指を離すと、途中の意図しない結合がされてしまう ### 2/5 — Fun, but too many Bugs and Ads *2025-11-23* This game is a bit better than all the other "2248" or "2048" powers-of-two games. But it has two flaws that eventually make it unplayable. The worst is a nasty concurrency bug that makes the game freeze a lot. It can freeze while you're moving number tiles (which screws up the move), while it's showing an ad, while it's doing the little "reward" diamond animation, or while doing nothing at all. Once it freezes, you just have to wait 5-20 seconds, or more, for it to come back. Occasionally it never comes back and I have to force-quit the game. The freezes seem to happen more often and to last longer as you get to higher levels. I got to about level 20 before giving up. At that point they happened around once a minute on average, sometimes even more often. (This is on a 2020 ipad Air; no idea about other devices.) There are also way too many ads, as usual for this kind of game. One or two per level would be okay, but this thing just bombards you with them. And it's the same ones over and over. This game sometimes lets you skip the ads sooner than a lot of other games do, which is a plus, but sometimes it doesn't, and occasionally it just freezes during the ad. It's gotten to the point where I'm spending more time waiting for the freezes and the ads than I was playing the actual game, so I'm giving up and looking for other games. **Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are sorry about the freezing issues and frequent ads. We deeply respect your experience and will share your comments with our R&D team. Please contact support@unicostudio.co for help with performance problems. ### 2/5 — App freezes every few minutes *2025-11-21, version 3.0.3* The app worked fine up to about level 100, but from that point on it freezes and unfreezes every few minutes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The math is wrong *2026-07-10, version 3.1.3* You are using the same numbers in each “K M B and so on and you guys don’t check your work ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-05-14, version 3.1.0* Ads ### 1/5 — WHYYYY?! *2026-03-28* Why do you always kicked me out **Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience.

I lose the game and don’t want to start over. A way to force players to pay for ad-free? Frustrating! ### 1/5 — Ad Farm *2026-02-06, version 3.1.0* 1% actual gameplay, 99% spamming you with ads because theyre desperate for that two cents of revenue. pathetic ### 1/5 — I dont want to play in hard mode *2025-12-27* How do I disable unlocking blocks because i cant merge any block **Developer response:** Hey!

Our support email is support@unicostudio.co ### 1/5 — Ruined by ads *2025-12-24* I appreciate that if I want to play for free, the price is ads, but OMG when the ad brings the game to a stop because you cannot clear it, it’s ruined. Will probably end up deleting. 😠 **Developer response:** Hey there! Thanks a bunch for giving our game a shot and sharing your honest thoughts. We totally get the frustration if an ad freezes and pauses your play. If you catch this happening again please reach out to support@unicostudio.co with a screenshot.

Pub pendant que vous intervenez sur le jeu ce qui est pas normal et j en passe Au final on joue 15 mn par heure et le reste du temps de la pub et souvent la même cela devient lassant **Developer response:** Bonjour!
