Do I need something that’s just a short thing I can ostensibly walk away from? That’s the thing- just one more short bit and all put it down and move on. I’m not the only person who does this, right? Luckily I’m a lousy gamer because I can’t figure out how to make things happen so I’m not trapped too terribly often. ### 4/5 — Intriguing, but FUN!!! *2022-06-06* I hadn’t ever played this game before, but it was still quite intriguing!!! Also, rather FUN, if I do say so Myself!!! ### 3/5 — ?! *2020-03-11* За что 229 рублей, если там ещё Реклама? ### 3/5 — Fun but... *2019-04-12* I’d consider upgrading but I often get frustrated because a group of blocks get stuck at the top and then I lose the game because it’s over the line. I hope it gets fixed because I want to remove the ads but I won’t until this is resolved. ### 2/5 — In you dont mind advertisement *2019-03-04* I got it because it was supposedly free for today in apps for free. You know, where you get a paid app for free. But you have to pay an additional 2.79 to remove the ads. So by this logic, I’d have to pay 2.79 to get the app on the device, then I’d have to pay an additional 2.79 to remove ads. And then....who knows what else? Whatev- its not so good of a game that I want the hassle and expense of it. Uninstalling. ### 2/5 — Bad design *2018-09-01, version 12.00* The drop button is far too close to the rotate button - meaning you constantly drop when you want to rotate ### 4/5 — Pause *2018-06-02* Needs a pause button that turns of the screen but then lets you return after a break ### 3/5 — Уныло *2017-06-09* Все очень скучно. Огромные кнопки управления на пол экрана, нет никакого сохранения прогресса, списка прохождения или результатов. Хотелось бы сохраняться и продолжать, а не начинать каждый раз снова и снова и снова . ### 3/5 — No actual multiplayer *2016-06-24, version 8.0* Reasonable Tetris clone with some powerups and new block types, but Vs Mode is only against the computer. ### 1/5 — Реклама *2015-06-16* Реклама на экране. ### 1/5 — 구매목록에서 삭제해주세요 *2015-02-15* 구매목록에서 삭제해주세요 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No instructions, and… *2023-05-04* …the preview video is not an active link, nor can you even copy it to paste it. No idea how to play the game. I’ve deleted it. ### 1/5 — Неудобный тетрис *2020-08-21* Графика так себе, управление неудобное. ### 1/5 — BAD GAME *2019-12-28* The game is bad because it is boring and no use in life ### 1/5 — Blocks *2018-10-20* Not able to rotate blocks ### 1/5 — I think I don’t like this game *2018-05-18* I am not ready to play this game ### 1/5 — Отвратительно *2017-12-08* 2017 год, а управление и реализация как на первых iPhone, да что говорить, хуже в разы! Про графику вообще молчу. ### 1/5 — Cheat of money!!!!!! *2017-12-02* It’s an absolutely fraud of money. I brought thought I could play with my friend on another iso device and it turned out I have to buy another app called block vs block 2 for another 3.99 plus tax. It’s ridiculous that this game is poorly designed and u can’t even change the way how to play. It’s a disaster and avoid purchasing the app at all cost!!! Be carful!!! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2016-06-22, version 8.0* It's disappointing to see a basic App making illegal use of Tetris' patented Tetriminos and core game mechanics. Can we review this App's App Store eligibility. Thanks :) ### 1/5 — Terrible controls *2016-06-21* Controls could have been implemented better, after all, that's the main thing on which user experience depends. And the music and sound is really annoying. ### 1/5 — 大家都别下载 *2015-07-02* 一点都不公平 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Glock *2026-02-25* Good past timer ### 5/5 — Should be an easy fix but… *2023-01-30* Too dark and too small. Needs to be a full screen option ### 5/5 — ващщеее *2022-10-22* нннорм ### 5/5 — Cooles Game *2020-07-29* Entspannt mich total! ### 5/5 — BlockVsBlock *2019-10-27, version 13.0* This is a great game.i am only 9 but it is very fun game,I like that you can switch sides and if you are ready you can just click the down button.so if you’re looking for a new game and if you like to stack blocks you should get it.I also like that there is a red line and the game is over if it touches the line.so I am righting a good review because I love this game. ### 5/5 — Hi *2018-07-24* Good game and easy ### 5/5 — Тетрис как в детстве. *2017-09-21* Отличная времяубивалка ### 5/5 — 구매목록삭제해주세요 *2015-12-23* 구매목록삭제해주세요 ### 5/5 — Naise *2015-03-20, version 7.0* جميله جدا ### 5/5 — 评论 *2014-09-30* 很有挑战性的好游戏。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
