Leave a Review Match Factory!
A very fun game but beware
This is my all time favorite game but it can be very frustrating. The graphics are terrific and there are no commercials. Some improvements could be made.
1) A pause button on the free play time
2) Release new packs more slowly
I am not someone who buys ethereal boosters and upgrades and I’ve managed to get to level 8500 without spending any money . The play gets harder and harder and honestly there are times when it’s not much fun as you advance. I have quit playing this game many times. The developers say you can pass any level without using boosters, but that’s not true. Some ridiculous levels have 200 items to clear in 45 seconds, and these can be small items like the utensils! You have to employ strategy. For example, if you fail the level 20 or so times it will get easier. I use the free play time to purposely fail until I can complete the level. Is that fun and relaxing? Absolutely not. But then the game gets a little easier again and I get sucked back in. I haven’t found much difference between hard, super hard and ultra hard levels after I hit level 7000. All the levels are hard. Maybe different people find some of the packs easier than others. Overall, I still love this game but I wish I could buy a “relaxed” play version. I would spend money on that!
Update…. I just can’t play this game anymore. It’s not fun when every level is so hard.Show lessThetthatsme
Wrote a long review but..
I got kicked off and not rewriting it all. This game is fun, I do like it but if you are paying through a third party (Mypoints in this case), pay what you say you will for reaching goals! Very upsetting. Also upsetting to be stuck for weeks on an impassable level and nothing I can do if I don’t spend money I don’t have to spend. I decided to stockpile my daily bonuses because hey I gotta collect enough stuff eventually right.. probably but for three days now my daily bonuses have been hearts, the one thing I don’t even need. Coincidence? Maybe but feels rigged. They do seem very greedy. Glad others like there are no ads but I’d take ads in a heartbeat if it helped me pass levels and it would be good for both players and the developers right?? But nooo.. nothing to do but delete game, try to save items and coins or spend money if you have it. Very sad when it’s a fun game. I want to get rid of it but got my daughter on my team and like my team. Things just need to be fixed. Also, even a cheap package deal every so often might hmmm help! Totally selfish of them. How about 99 cent Wednesday on the 5.99 package or something so people can play?? Sheesh. Or just add ads as an option, so stingy.Show lessTuffypaws20
Initially fun, but that’s changing
I really enjoyed this game for quite a while. It was a great brain break, with a balanced level of challenge thrown in.
The past couple months or so have been drastically different. I’ve appreciated some of the new variety, but it’s getting to where the frequency of difficulty takes away from it being enjoyable. In fact, it’s getting annoying and even frustrating with mis labeled level difficulty, WAY too many tiny items and items of the same color family making it near impossible to identify items or accent tap a sword with pencils, paintbrushes and “I” “1” and similarly shaped items around. And the puzzle pieces! When face down it’s near impossible to know what color they are (and if you have no boosts, you have no options other than luck). It’s easy to SAY every level is beatable with the right strategy. Thats just PR/customer service tactics at play.
Having to play a level multiple times (not just 2-3 either) before you get a less difficult version of it is ridiculous and seems intentional - feeding off people’s competitive nature or wearing them down to encourage in-app purchases. I made in app purchases because I liked the game and it was a way to support something I enjoyed. The frequency of levels I had to play 10+ times to beat noticeably increased. Hard to see that as mere coincidence.
A little challenge is great. It shouldn’t just be a cake walk, but the development has definitely gone way to far in the other direction.Show lessWolverineOkie
Love the game, BUT
I wish there was a setting I could turn on to where I don’t always have to play against the clock/timer. I simply enjoy organizing the objects; it brings me calm. I have anxiety and have to work hard on a clock basis all day, everyday; the last thing I want to do is try and GO GO GO to organize something as speedy as possible… I don’t consider that part enjoyable. Other than that though, the game is very well designed. Has plenty of side options and activities to allow you to keep the game going even when you run out of lives. It doesn’t have ads, which is WONDERFUL! It is designed to clearly keep you inside the app and intrigued with other things that are available to you within the app without those things being too distracting.
Dear amazing developers, my one request is I hope someday I can toggle a switch and not be forced to play against the clock; it would then become optional. This would open the doors to truly TRULY enjoy it calmly. Coming from someone who has enough chaos in their life. 😊 Great game and app nonetheless.
Side note: this is the first app review I’ve ever written. I really do hope this game continues to grow and evolve; I enjoy it so much!Show lessHannahMerritt_
Not what it once was
This game was great for a while, but is no longer what it used to be. I used this game as a way to help me relax at the end of the day. Lately, the creators have been “testing” out new “features” that have made the game unenjoyable, and quite frankly, stressful.
First, they have increased the difficulty of all of the levels, and added an ultra hard level. Some of these levels take hours or even days worth of attempts to pass them, unless you use boosters or coins… which cost money. For their game events, they have made the end goal with the good prizes (boosters and coins) pretty much unattainable, unless you use an absurd amount of boosters and coins… which cost money. It’s not hard to see that the creators are forcing our hand at spending money now, because those coins and boosters are NOT cheap.
The only reason I still play is so that I can stay with my team. But if I can’t pass a level in several booster-less attempts, I put the game down for a while. Many of my teammates have expressed the same sentiment in our group chat as well.
Creators, do better for your fan base.Show lessKaitM8494
Game is so fun but make improvements.
This game is really fun but we could fix it up a bit. Good things first. It is fun and good for our brains to sort out the objects. The prizes and rewards we get are really cool too. How we play is sort out the things we need and if we get 3 of the same items it clears out the bar. Sometimes we even have boosters to start! We only have 2 minutes of time to sort everything out. However, I think that we can get frustrated sometimes. Like when we realize time is up. So I think Match Factory should give us 3 minutes instead of 2. Also there is this thing where you can join a matching group. If you want to get in your friend’s group, but 2 teams have the same name, then you might enter a group of complete strangers. How we can fix this is to put the names of the people in the group so that we know which group to go in. But the game is still fun. If you are going to get the game, then you are making the right decision. Thank you.Show lessMusic lover🧸💎
Great to begin
I started a Team, we all played then got so far and the levels, without extra time are impossible. I played the same game so many times I left for about 5 months I got that hacked off. I’m back and one week later I am still playing the same game that I played for three weeks before I left last time. You need to understand, constant failure is not enjoyable. Also, on the iPad, the game only takes up about 80 % of the screen, there’s too much on it, too small and different items of the same shape and almost identical colour. You need to rethink your strategy. I will NEVER pay for a pass, what’s the point when levels when you get higher are not fun, are frustrating and without additional, impossible to pass unless you want to play 100plus times. Shame, such a good game to start but your expensive, two pound for one try for a game that you could not pass in the last 100 attempts. I m leaving now, no point in trying again until tomorrow if I’m lucky enough to get extra time as my lucky gift.Show lessNelson Riddle
March Factory!
This is my first game review. This is a really fun game to play and it looks really good too. Plus it doesn’t have any ads. Yes, it can be hard. In fact, one time I just couldn’t get through. Would you believe, they simplified the level for me!!! That’s customer service! I am now stuck on level 1111. I’ve run out of power-ups. Will I spend a bit of money on extra coins? Probably, but I haven’t spent much and they deserve it - especially for not having ads!Show lessMr Fide
Fun while it lasted
Good to start with but you get sucked in and after awhile you will have many coins and booster that you win along the way. Until you start to progress over 600 levels then the the levels become impossibly hard and drain you of what you have gained and get stuck on levels for multiple days on end unless you want part with some cash. I wouldn’t have a problem with this but the prices are outrageous and exorbitant and at the end of the day it’s a con and nothing more than to pilfer money from you. So although I liked the game I won’t be party to this impropriety and uninstalled it and will find another.
There’s plenty similar around. Bye.Show lessScottknows
