Seems like a bug. No way to contact customer service. Don’t waste your time. ### 2/5 — BLOCKO *2021-03-27, version 2.0.3* NOT A VERY GOOD CUBIS!! NEED ORIGINAL ONE, WOULD BE GREAT!! ### 1/5 — Annoying *2019-10-06, version 2.0.3* Having to wait so long between lives has made me decide to delete this game! ### 3/5 — Okay but... *2019-02-11, version 2.0.3* It ain’t Cubis, but fun enough...at least until level 7-8. I’ve played that level at least 200 times. The best I could do was one star (maybe 5 times). I’ve deemed it undoable. So now whatever lies beyond I’ll never know because I’m done with this mess. ### 2/5 — Too choppy & poor control *2018-09-07, version 2.0.3* Although a simple game for strategy and play, it is so choppy that it makes it hard to control ### 1/5 — Terribly choppy *2017-01-24, version 2.0.3* I was looking for a Cubis-like game, and this seemed similar enough. Unfortunately, it is not smooth AT ALL, which makes it too frustrating to enjoy. ### 2/5 — Poor copy of Cubis *2016-07-04, version 2.0.3* Most other games provide at least five lives and do not require a life for EACH level (even though you're moving up after completing a previous level). Cubis itself does not require lives to play. Many of the levels I've played so far are copies of Cubis levels, so there's little originality. The only reason I was interested in this game is because Cubis hasn't added any new worlds in a very long time. ### 2/5 — Blocko *2015-12-09, version 2.0.3* This update removes all the charm of the old one. Play is not smooth on my iPhone. Too hard to get to level 7. Still play occasionally, thus the two stars. ### 3/5 — Ok *2015-11-27, version 1.3* The first version was good I liked it but the new version will not download on either of my kids iPads or my 2 iPhone 5 s. So not real sure what's going on here. ### 1/5 — Poor update. *2015-10-31, version 2.0.1* Agree 100% with the first reviewer. This app has taken a step backwards. Make the last version of the game available. ## Frequently asked questions about Blocko ### What is Blocko? Blocko is a color matching puzzle game.
