## What is Block by Block?

During the game you forget about time.

If you enjoy the kind of games with lots of jewels, gems or bubbles you will definitely love Block by Block.

Sense of this game is to remove all blocks from the board.
To do this, click on the blocks with an arrow outside the playing field. The block will begin to move in the indicated direction.
If three or more of the same color blocks form a group, they will disappear.
When the playing field will be cleared of the blocks, level will be passed.

A good game to relax and unwind.

### 1/5 — Where did the FUN go?

*2024-08-27*

Loved this game until updated. I do not like the wood version...not a pleasing visual and you have to add so many blocks to get to a match. If you can’t go back to what a FUN GAME It use to be I guess I will have to delete the game. The new version is not fun to play at all!

### 3/5 — I paid for hints I didn’t get

*2024-06-26*

I have paid twice and still not received the hints. Can you fix this?

### 2/5 — Do NOT purchase ad blocker!

*2023-08-17*

I don’t usually write reviews, but this is important for others to know. 
Love the game… similar to my favorite Brickshooter Egypt, BUT I’ve tried purchasing the ad blocker… only to be shown an ad directly after the purchase. At first I thought perhaps it would take some time for the purchase to go through… NOPE!!! I’ve tried getting the ad blocker at least 3x (shouldn’t have, I know, but I like the game and hate the ads). I’ve tried renewing purchases… NOPE! They just keep showing the ads. I’ve even deleted and restarted the game… NOPE! Still showing ads. I give up. I’m thinking of just deleting the game. I’ve had a similar experience on one of this company’s other games.

### 3/5 — Paid for no ads, twice. Ads still there.

*2023-02-17, version 4.0*

Normally I would rate this game a five star game, its very challenging. I purchased the NoAds option, they never went away. So, I purchased NoAds again. That is TWICE, Still the ads remain and these ads are annoying and very loud. I would like to play the game in silence! I sent an unanswered email, still has ads.

### 2/5 — Unhappy player

*2022-02-09, version 4.0*

I love this game but to start a new game you have to delete the app and download it again. This causes the ads to start again (which I paid to remove already) and it’s difficult to to get to the buttons at the bottom of the screen because they’re covered with ads you can’t remove. Can’t contact the app because the send button doesn’t send your message.

### 4/5 — Люблю эту игру много лет

*2021-03-14, version 4.0*

Очень люблю эту игру. Приятные цвета и плавные, приятные глазам линии, (а не как в следующей версии), но для меня есть несколько минусов, которые легко исправить..
70 уровней это мало
Если я прошла все уровни, то не могу обнулить всё и начать сначала. Постоянно появляется уровень 70...
Пройдя всю игру я не могу изменить уровни сложности, 
нет возможности сохранять параллельно 2 уровня сложности (если в разные дни хочется играть с разной сложностью.

Буду рада играть ещё! Но после обновлений и апгрейтов.

### 4/5 — Good but could be better

*2021-01-28, version 4.0*

I purchased the game for both iOS and Android. The game play for Android is better and more like the original. As the level goes up, the complexity of the game increases with the addition of more color blocks. Unfortunately in iOS version, as the level goes up, the playing field is made smaller and smaller which renders them unplayable.

### 5/5 — Objectionable slot ads

*2019-10-13, version 3.4*

This is a really good puzzle.  But the slot advertising prior to being able to play with this puzzle is frustrating.  Why is this necessary?  I would like to enjoy the game without the advertising of slot games that feature slutty cartoon come-on features.  Why can’t I pay for the puzzle I want and play without the frustration.

### 4/5 — Really enjoyable puzzle

*2018-12-08*

I haven’t had this puzzle long, but already find myself needing to have just another go. Currently unwell stuck at home things like this are very handy until I can get well. Thanks to app developers well thought out!  It took me awhile to figure out the way it works but now I’ve cottoned on I can’t get enough. Cheers!

### 1/5 — So easy to cheat

*2018-10-13, version 3.4*

Loved this game. I became highly addicted until I noticed that you can get the block you want next by do-undo-do-again repeatedly. The third block is NOT the same after the do-again and is NOT random either. 

I reached master level 62 and had to stop. Skill and planning don't matter if you can ALWAYS get what you want.

Sad, as this was a good-enough replacement for BrickShooter.
