Not a fan, pleaseeee change it back **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the feedback. Sometimes new players don't understand how to play it so we added the lighting-effects. We will consider adding an option to turn on/off the effects. If we decide it, it will take time to implement it. Please understand us. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Simple, pretty, and nice *2020-06-19, version 1.4.3* Not cloying and manipulative like most free to play games! Just a simple game :) ### 4/5 — Good *2020-03-18, version 1.2* Game was good ### 3/5 — Just kinda boring after the first city *2020-03-18, version 1.2* The title says it all ### 3/5 — Great game, price of no ads is too high *2020-03-16, version 1.2* I like this game but it is interrupted by very long ads. I’m happy to pay for no ads but the price is high for a game that is over quickly. ### 4/5 — Lots of ads for other corny games *2020-03-15, version 1.2* This app helped me manage anxiety, but the ads were constant. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2020-03-14, version 1.2* This game is a fun game to pass time. It’s really nothing special, but everything works how it should. There is a couple adds that pop up every once in a while, but you can exit out of them quickly. Over all awesome game! ### 5/5 — THE BEST GAME EVER *2020-03-14, version 1.2* If you have I phone 11 like me!!!!!! ### 3/5 — Fun but... *2020-03-13, version 1.2* I played it and I found its like 2048 but without the slide to move all mechanics and the only way to win is power ups that are stupidly overpriced ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2020-03-13, version 1.2* Better than normal 2048 feels a bit slower More random chance than skill ### 5/5 — Ignore the 1 star reviews *2020-03-13, version 1.2* I saw this game featured on the games page and decided to give it a try. Ads are necessary for ios game developers to get some profit for all their time consuming work in creating a game. If a player enjoys the game then they should support the artist and pay the full price to have the ads removed. Problem solved. But most of the negative reviews come from people who want free games without ads or can’t enjoy a relaxing puzzle game. I need to spend many hours to have a suggestion but I have none as of right now. This game is a keeper for me... ### 5/5 — Cool *2020-03-10, version 1.2* 1 time byun is nice game!!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-03-04* Amazing **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for playing my game. I hope you have a nice day. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-03-17, version 1.2* It's not 2048 ### 1/5 — Greediest game ever. *2020-03-14, version 1.2* I hope you like watching ads. ### 1/5 — Don’t keep asking for a review *2020-03-14, version 1.2* If a game will not stop asking for a review, you get one star. ### 1/5 — Cash grab adware *2020-03-13, version 1.2* Immediately apparent that all they want is to interrupt game play with ads or force purchases. Cute game, but shoving ads down ones throat equates to an uninstall. ### 1/5 — Good *2020-03-01, version 1.2* Pls my dudes can you put my review in i would mean a Lot to me and also this game is trash ### 1/5 — This game is stupid *2020-02-28, version 1.2* There is nothing fun about it. ### 2/5 — Horrible, Just Horrible *2020-04-05, version 1.3.2* SO THIS IS JUST A TRASHY GAME!!! It was neat at first, but it is always giving me a number I need right after I put down a number to merge to make merge combos, it makes the game unfair and I hope other people read this and make a much better decision Peace out, Garbage Game ### 2/5 — Un fair changes *2020-02-26, version 1.1* The pattern of the game changes depending on if you’re winning or losing too many failed combos makes you lose ### 2/5 — Meh *2020-02-22, version 1.1* Its kinda broken, at least for me. The game is good for an idle merger, but generally its a little too restrictive on items. I guess items are how they plan to cashcow this thing 😆 This game is like a hybrid between tetris and idle mergers, u place ur buildings on a grid, they go from the top and downward, if u stack them too high and run out of room the game is over. You have to keep merging as often as possible and put some forethought into it. Theres little items that make the game easier but they’re a limited consumable that u gotta buy or watch ads for....and the ads are massively broken on this thing. I cant watch them, they usually dont launch at all and i NEVER receive the rewards. This is becoming an infuriating constant among games in 2020 and im getting sick of it. 😤 No working ads, no items, hard grind, slow progress = deletion. So im already bored and annoyed and moving on. 😪 Final Verdict? *yawns* 😴 ....meh. Boring game and broken for me, but better than most idle mergers. If they’re ur thing, u should pick this up. Ps: Bonus star for Unity 😜 still lovin some Unity games, even years later, keep trying guys 👍 ### 3/5 — Don’t understand *2020-03-23, version 1.2* No clue about how to advance I can’t find anything about how to play,etc. .... strategy Thanks very much, God Bless, Stay safe ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 재미있네요 *2021-05-24, version 1.5.8* 잠시 쉴때 하기 좋습니다 ### 5/5 — New levels *2021-04-08, version 1.5.8* Would like to see an update with some new levels ### 5/5 — Very hard 🤯🤯🤯 *2020-11-10, version 1.5.1* Insanely hard I can’t even get past the first level. But I think I can beat it I like the challenge. All the people that give it a one star review are just salty because their bad. Please respond.😁😁😁😁😁😀😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 ### 5/5 — New effects slowing gameplay *2020-11-09, version 1.5.1* Would it be possible to add an option to disable the effects added in the latest update? The electrical effect when merging blocks slows down gameplay overall. I love this game overall, great simple puzzler that exceeds at what it was designed to do without any unnecessary, distracting extras. Very well done mates. ### 5/5 — very good *2020-09-29, version 1.4.3* very good game ### 5/5 — 중독 *2020-09-28, version 1.4.3* 빠져들어요 😍😍조심해야 해요 ^^ ### 5/5 — Very fun *2020-04-26, version 1.3.2* A joy for puzzle solvers ### 5/5 — Recommend *2020-03-30, version 1.3.1* Please add new city as soon as possible and give more gifts after each city thanks a lot ### 5/5 — Update new city please ( VietNam City please) *2020-03-27, version 1.3.1* I.m from Vietnam , need Vietnam city ### 5/5 — Good game! *2020-03-15, version 1.2* Really good job designing this game. Thank you! It requires strategy, but isn’t too hard that it gets frustrating. The only thing that Is a bit of a setback is the buttons for retry, broom, etc are at the bottom of the screen. I am constantly hitting those by accident when I am tapping to place my next tile. If those could be moved to the top of the screen, everything would be just right. Thanks again for making this game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
