Keeps crashing

Right after I finish the game it keeps crashing! Not happy

Bad copy of Fruit Ninja and Bejeweled

Well, this game seem to be fun. But it's typical "freemium", as we call it. First - it's almost impossible to earn really high score without buying upgrades. And the thing it that you can't earn enough cash in game to buy it. The only way is either pay money (and Alawar is quite greedy) or install few partner apps, which gives you very humble amount of cash. Also, game concept is copy-pasted from Fruit Ninja and Bejeweld. To earn score multiplier for a limited amount of time which is crucial for completing level you have to do very fast combo streak. It's hard itself and game doesn't always register your swipes correctly. So, the game itself is quite bad, need work and less greediness. Greediness is always a problem of Alawar games, I'm very familiar with it products, usually they are quite bad and doesn't present something new. This game is not an exception. 2 stars for the try.

Great!

Great game! Spent two hours playing.

Good gameplay marred by tackiness.

The gameplay itself is pretty good. A comparison to Fruit Ninja and Bejewelled is accurate, as you're looking for combos, but furiously swiping the entire time. The "poison" gem does a good job of keeping it from just being a random swipefest.

Now, on to the earned gems. Games where you either earn "cash" in game, or buy them are here to stay...but it doesn't mean I have to like it. I can grudgingly accept a game that allows you to buy cash, and the game lets you earn it through gameplay at a decent, sorta slow pace...but earning gems via registering with advertising partners? That just feels... Tacky.

Great game

Really great game, I enjoyed it a lot. I think it's sort of a breakthrough in match3 games
