Leave a Review Bejeweled Blitz
I want to give this 5 stars but
I have loved this game, and I may have given it 4 or 5 stars at one time. Lately parts of the game seem to refuse to be played like the competitions. Have things gotten too memory intensive? I stopped the fox which helped a little but not much. I never played with music. I also get frustrated because it tends to almost never give the jackpot or the 100,000 points. It seems programmed that way. You have to use the Facebook version about twice a week to get and send gifts with friends. I do prefer the ipad version. At least, they cinque. Increasingly, the ipad version cannot be played or the special competitions cannot be played. The problem with the encores is the playing field for competitions is uneven. I do have all upgrades, but I still have a way to go to equal those who have maxed out everything.Show lessDrSnooks
Getting disappointed
I have played Bejeweled for almost 10 years and spent a fair amount on coins and boosts. Now the experience is getting more and more disappointing.
Complaints:
1. I have never ever struck the jackpot “choosing” the prize in the hundreds, no, thousands of games I’ve played. It feels like that part of the game is just plain rigged to get you to buy more coins by dangling a non-existent carrot in front of the player.
2. And more and more, you can’t access the charms/boosts that you’ve already won or bought when you first login to play. Says they are “downloading” - for over 10 minutes!! I have WiFi or LTE speeds on my phone - how long can it take for a bunch of icons to download??!!
It feels like EA/developers are more concerned with squeezing revenues from longtime players than trying to maintain loyalty. Time to switch to another casual game for chilling with.Show lessGgmama
Give us a BREAK
Developers I will have you know I spend way to much money just to be able to continue to play it because I love playing this game. I play it almost everyday. The only days I don’t play it is when my disability check runs out after paying my main bills and have just enough to purchase items to play with, mainly gold because gold is your friend in this game and now shards are too. Do you think it could be possible to help your loyal players by sending them a substantial gift on occasion? I also play a poker game and periodically they throw me a chunk of coins to play because I am a loyal player. Please consider my suggestion because it really won’t cost you anything. It might just save many players from jumping ship. I wish you well and keep up the great work. I do love this game. Thanks for reAding my suggestion.Show less59yroldw41yroldbabe
Everyone quit playing.
Unfortunately since you made all the changes to bejeweled blitz all my friends quit playing. You have made it so difficult to play anymore. Can’t get enough points to play unless you are willing to buy packages. I also will be quitting. Shame on you. All about the money I guess. Finally quit playing. All my 18 friends quit at least 6 months ago but I continued playing. You have made it so impossible to collect on gold cats. Shame on you. Wasting my life I decided today. I must have tried at least 50 times to get gold star cats. You have achieved that is impossible to get. Yours was my favorite game but I will no longer waste my life trying to win at your game. I have finally joined my friends. Shame on you. Looking at reviews they also join my sentiments. Good luck on keeping people playing your game. I’m the 19th of my friends to quit. They are smarter then me. Quit along time ago. I’m the last one. Sending the review and then deleting the app.Show lesssudzie2
Disappointing recently
I’ve played this game for many years and have always considered it one of my favorites. Lately, however, the game has been far less fun. First, connectivity to your servers has been consistently poor, which slows the game with irritating delays. Second, it’s obvious you’ve changed the programming to make higher scores much harder to obtain. This is especially frustrating in Blitz Champions games like Gold Masters, where high-placing scores now depend entirely on seldom-occurring detonations that begin a cascading of rare jewels. This so rarely occurs of late that placing in those contests has become almost entirely dependent on luck. That is, you can only be competitive if you’re fortunate enough to draw rare jewels that are positioned to cascade automatically after you’ve extended the game with $25K in coins or 200 shards. Most of the time this no longer happens, so you’re usually doomed to lower scores no matter how fast or strategically well you play.Show lessGrimace24
Problems not fixed.
Every time I receive the option to watch a video for another chance to win coins, the first time I select it will pop the error “Oops out of ads”. The second time it usually works. But not always. Then the occasional offer to watch a video for 4000 coins pops up “oops out of ads” just one chance for that one and it’s gone. I haven’t been able to collect on that offer in months.
When you play and you’ve collected a number of coins during the game and you’ve also collected a number of multipliers. When it tallies the final coin count it drops a multiplier 4/5 times which means means you don’t get the number of coins you should have received. That said, why would I spend money to buy coins for play if the game is going to steal winnings from me??? Here’s a clue...not paying money to a game I don’t trust.
I’ve continued playing the game because I generally like it but the bugs (and deceptive awards) have gotten to the point I’m ready to delete the app and never look back.Show lessmjdfidd
Blitz Quest
I have a specific complaint about the Blitz Quest that just closed. I accomplished all of the tasks in all four caverns except in the first one. I could never get two golden cats in the daily challenge (I didn’t even try using the specified rare gems in the other challenge until I got the two cats). It was difficult to get the first one and nigh impossible to get the second one. The amount of points needed was extremely high with no apparent means of getting there. I tried multiple times and could only get the bronze cat. This was extremely frustrating. I had all of these other goals completed and could not get past the first room to collect all of the treasure chests I had earned. I think I will just refrain from playing for awhile if this is going to be how you rig the game to work against us.Show lessXcdebthu
The constant pop ups make me want to scream.
This is supposed to be a fun time killing game. I recognize that this is an app and that the developers deserve to get paid for their work, and I don’t take issue with that at all. Except having three pop ups on every screen before you can even play a game (or after you’ve only played a single game) is incredibly frustrating especially when you can’t seem to exit out of the pop ups (even the ones that aren’t ads!) until the useless little animations go through.
I’ve had this game for years, and each month it’s like they add another money grab option, which, again would be fine if it wasn’t so repetitive, time consuming, and in your face.
I gave it two stars instead of one because actually playing the game is fun and simplistic, once you can get to it. Although I do agree with the other reviews in that it definitely seems as if the “jackpots” are rigged against you, that aspect really doesn’t matter to me and buying more “coins” to play with additions that lead to a higher score is a legitimate way for game makers to make money. But for the love of all that is holy I’m begging the developers to STOP with the excessive pop ups, especially little cave digging demon that WILL NOT GO AWAY until you let the animation play through.Show lessMeg23678
More gold bar winnings in blitz champions
I’m liking the new challenges in blitz quest but I never get all the prizes because of 1 challenge like “get 500 gold bars from blitz champions games.” I’m done with all the quests except that one so it won’t let you open chests lower if you don’t get the 500 gold bars from blitz games. Only one blitz champions game even gives bars and I get the 50 bars not 500 and it takes more than 3 days to get that high and by that time the quest starts over again! You should be about to open chests when you complete the 4 missions! Also, I play a lot also and have never gotten the 500,000 coins after playing with a rare gem either...which is total bs! And I spend real money on games sometimes!Show lessShishta
Excellent Game!
I like the direction the developers are taking the game. However, I do miss opportunities to buy my favorite rare gems, some of which include: chromosome, pandemonium, coralite, plumeblast, archstone, slashberry, glimmerbread, twinkletree, boomstone, and groovestone. I recommend creating a rare gem tab next to the gold bar, chest, coin, and spin tabs in the store for rare gems sales—and don’t just sell the current and up and coming rare gems.
I’ve depleted these favorite rare gem items down to one count in my item box and would love to have the opportunity to restock and replenish on a much more frequent basis as opposed to having to wait for the daily challenge to potentially give me another opportunity to pay coins to possibly win just one particular rare gem. You could even consider selling them in individual rare gem groups or combined rare gem groups. :-)Show lessMaestroBaran
