Can’t purchase anything in game and can’t eliminate ads. ### 2/5 — Great game, played for years, but… *2024-10-11, version 3.6.13* All of a sudden in August 2025, you watch an ad and you cannot close it once it is over, making it impossible to play. Unless they roll out a new bug fix, I might have to give up on this one. It was one of my go-to games when I was bored for many years now. ### 3/5 — BROKEN BLITZ SCORE *2022-11-04, version 3.6.13* PLEASE FIX: In blitz mode the score will NOT go above 2,147,483,647. I get to this score everytime and it shows I’m getting more points but the numbers of the score will not go higher. I love this game and would to keep playing for higher scores, but when it won’t advance above that it’s pointless. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Keep coming back after years *2021-09-01, version 3.6.11* I’ve been playing this game for years, it’s so therapeutic. Ads aren’t annoying and often they just advertise their other games, which are very cute games. Love love love Alien Hive. Great unique match 3 puzzle game. Quite difficult but very rewarding. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-03-27, version 3.6.11* Playing this game can keep you really busy even when offline!! Super fun love this game (one of my favourites) ❤️❤️❤️ ### 4/5 — Wish there was an update... *2020-06-19, version 3.6.11* Update?? ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-02-19, version 3.6.11* Wonderful game have been playing for years now ### 5/5 — Fun unique game *2019-03-26, version 3.6.11* I’ve been playing this game on and off for years. It is one of the few games I go back to. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2018-10-29, version 3.6.11* I’ve loved this unique game since it came out. It’s still great after all these years. ### 5/5 — Gamer *2018-07-01, version 3.6.11* Really good game! ### 5/5 — Fun game! *2018-04-30, version 3.6.11* Such a cute game ### 3/5 — It a good game but *2017-09-13, version 3.6.10* It a great little time waster game but I've been playing for probably best part of three years I think and I've never gotten past level 6, it an energy issue it just too low but it is a good game but it just too hard ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was Interesting and fun not any more too many Ads *2025-10-07, version 3.6.15* I have had this game for years. Now it is full of obnoxious ads that are super long and glitch. Used to be a Good game wish the music would change loops too much. Greed ruins everything. I paid for this app. Horriblec ### 1/5 — Ads glitch every time *2025-01-27, version 3.6.13* Every time there's an ad, it glitches and I have to exit the app and open it again, and then don't get credit for any gold, even if it's from finishing a level. ### 1/5 — Ad Tracking *2024-10-21, version 3.6.13* There is no good reason for require ad tracking outside of the game. ### 1/5 — Cannot Play Due to Ads *2024-08-09, version 3.6.13* Ads have gotten incredibly obnoxious. Just this morning, I got stuck in an ad and could not move out of it, closed the game, opened it again, and the same thing happened. I was not able to play the game. Ads force you to click something rather than just running down a timer. They pop up constantly. Really bad user experience that has diminished my interaction with the game. Ironically I’m watching fewer ads as a result. The game itself is awesome. This would have been my second round with it. ### 1/5 — Used to be good. Now unplayable *2024-07-10, version 3.6.13* Have loved this game for years. Now it freezes for 5 seconds after each move. Playing on a iPhone 12, current OS. I hope the fix it someday. Coming back a year later to mourn a favorite game that is now abandonware Sad. Broke it and left it. Do better ### 1/5 — Used to be good. Now unplayable *2023-06-01* Have loved this game for years. Now it freezes for 5 seconds after each move. Playing on a iPhone 12, current OS. I hope the fix it someday. ### 1/5 — Ads by Alt-right? No thanks! *2019-03-17, version 3.6.11* I was enjoying this game until an ad popped up from PragerU, a content pusher (not an actual university) that wraps ultra-conservative, far right wing, and Alt-right messaging in slickly produced short videos. I refuse to support an app that is supported by such a group. Shame on you for taking ad money from a thinly veiled White Supremacists organization. I’ve deleted this game and will not support any of your company’s apps in the future. Thanks for showing your “true colors” though. ### 1/5 — H *2018-04-18, version 3.6.11* Trash ### 1/5 — Poor customer service *2017-03-04, version 3.6.8* I've written these guys over a week ago now in regard to a purchase made on an old phone not showing up on the new. Still no response. Pity too as the gameplay was good enough that I spent on it! ### 1/5 — App Update - Frozen 😞 *2016-02-10, version 3.6.2* Game freezes all the time since update on 2/5/16. Love this game- please fix! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Logan *2026-04-10, version 3.6.15* you should make a second part of this game like add a bunch more aliens because the alien designs are cool and all that ### 5/5 — Logan *2025-05-21* you should make a second part of this game like ad a bunch more aliens because the alien designs are cool and all that ### 5/5 — Great Game *2025-01-25, version 3.6.13* I love this game so much that I’ve played for many years as it gives me a zen state of mind. ### 5/5 — Never gets old *2024-08-13, version 3.6.13* I’ve been playing this game on and off for YEARS. I still haven’t gotten tired of it. I play it almost every night when I’m relaxing before bed. I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of it. ### 5/5 — Ads *2024-07-03, version 3.6.13* I would pay to play this game without ads! ### 5/5 — great game nice graphics *2023-11-12, version 3.6.13* I really like the colorful grapgics in this game as well as the trippy, weird, fun, sound effects. you can play free for a long time. the collectible aliens are adorable. In my previous years this game makes me have the urge to get my black light and strobe out. Totally cool. and if youre interuppted it saves your place, which is not a given in theese ios games, so I thought that was a plus. Cheap, challenging, nice to look at. You cant go wrong get this. ### 5/5 — Really cool *2023-05-08, version 3.6.13* It’s a really good game, I’m sorta bad at it but I love all the aliens. I would like to see an alien creature colony/civilization game that’s simple and free. I like drawing made up creatures and alien designs in my free time, and like coming up with the biology of them. Hope you make more fun games! ### 5/5 — Insanely original *2023-05-07, version 3.6.13* It’s original, and challenging and keeps me coning back for more five stars ### 5/5 — Great time burner *2022-11-25, version 3.6.13* It’s great if you’ve got extra time, the unique way of matching makes this game all the better when you get some good combos. Ads aren’t too bad. ### 5/5 — Good Stuff *2022-11-05, version 3.6.13* Have this on droid and iOS I love it so much ! It’s so challenging especially after level six! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
