### 4/5 — Ads

*2025-01-31, version 1.16.1*

I paid to cancel ads, how long does this last is it permanent ?? I really like game but hope I don’t need to do this every 30 days

### 3/5 — Ads are kind of annoying

*2024-10-29, version 1.16.1*

It’s fun but the ads are to frequent

### 4/5 — It has some minor problems but it is so much fun

*2024-08-24, version 1.16.1*

It’s the best game to play in the car. It is a little bit annoying to play because it has some hard things in the game but it is fun.😊😄😕😢😠

### 4/5 — Great game

*2024-08-11, version 1.16.1*

Before a week ago, I would have given this a five star, but I got on today and it had something I have never seen on the game. (Btw I’m at a level in the 400s) There was this floating, spinning block in the middle of the board. I say floating because there was a block underneath it too. It had the bubbles skin ( the one I had equipped) so I thought it was just a glitch and it would go away after I finished the level. It didn’t. Then I figured it would go away if I changed my skin. Still, it didn’t go away. I don’t know how to get rid of it. 

Other than that glitch, the game is pretty great overall. I’ve been trying to play every game to level 1000, and all of them repeat the same levels over and over again. But not this game! I haven’t seen any repeated levels yet.

### 4/5 — Really Really Good

*2024-07-09, version 1.15.2*

Genuinely, probably one of the best games on the App Store right now. It has ads yes but firstly, it’s very cheap to remove them, and secondly they aren’t as frequent as other games. There are no stupid ways to steal your money, like energy which means you can only play a certain amount of time or really annoying ads you have to watch to unlock something to help you win. There’s loads of skins for the blocks and the levels do get harder but not anxiety enducing. This games really cute and quite satisfying. Would recommend. Also devs please don’t add all the stupid stuff that Voodoo adds to their games. This is what makes your game fun!!!

### 2/5 — AHHHH IM BEING OVERWHELMED BY CRINGE

*2024-06-27, version 1.15.2*

TOO MANY CRINGE ADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡

### 3/5 — Stuck

*2024-06-16, version 1.15.2*

I’ve enjoyed the game, but a bonus screen came up and it says tap to place the ticket, but no matter where I tap, nothing happens. I have closed out the app, but that doesn’t help.

### 3/5 — Too Easy

*2024-03-25, version 1.15.1*

This game is too easy. 

Most levels are really easy. The rare “hard” levels aren’t hard enough.

### 4/5 — Too ez

*2023-12-14, version 1.15.0*

They keep giving ez levels

### 2/5 — Too Easy

*2023-12-13, version 1.15.0*

I pay to remove ads all the time if it’s worth it. This game wasn’t. It’s got good graphics, feel, mechanics. It’s well made. It’s just way too easy. I gave myself 25 levels before I gave up.

### 3/5 — Limiting moves ruined it for me

*2023-12-05, version 1.15.0*

I used to love this game despite all the ads: it is creative, alternatively challenging and easy, visually interesting and relaxing. A recent update added a "max moves" component and I no longer find it as relaxing or interesting. Instead it's frustrating that I can't fiddle around and explore. It's really too bad--the game is great otherwise.

### 2/5 — I loved the game before the recent update

*2023-12-01, version 1.15.0*

Now you get a limited number of moves to complete the puzzle, and some are pretty much impossible with that number of moves. I miss being able to just play with the pieces until I solve it.

### 2/5 — So annoyed

*2023-11-29, version 1.15.0*

I am SO ANNOYED with the newest update. I loved this game bc there was no pressure - no timer, no restriction on the number of moves, no competition, nothing to “beat” except the puzzle itself. The newest update added a move counter and it has completely ruined my enjoyment of the game. Now instead of being relaxing, it’s frustrating and anxiety inducing. This w is a maps fail and would love to continue playing if an option to remove the move counter is added. Otherwise I’ll be finding a new low pressure puzzle game 😒

### 3/5 — Move Restrictions Ruins the Game

*2023-11-28, version 1.15.0*

The love restrictions added in the last update ruins the game for me. I lived that the levels were never too hard. I loved that there was no time, move, or lives restrictions. I loved that it was just a cozy easy puzzle game. Now with the moves added I don’t play it anymore.

### 3/5 — New Update

*2023-11-25, version 1.15.0*

I actually really really hate that you only get a limited number of moves now. I'm on level 1157 so I've been here through a lot of different things but the limited moves makes me wanna stop playing.

### 1/5 — Blocks and Ropes a rip off!

*2024-09-12, version 1.16.1*

Why do you offer the option of paying for NO ads, take users money and then they still get ads?
I once enjoyed this game and paid for no ads. Now I have ads interrupt in the middle of a level. Lousy customer treatment. BEWARE if you think about paying for no ads! Shady at best!

### 1/5 — Too many ads, uninstalled after 4-5 levels

*2024-05-18, version 1.15.1*

Frustrating ads

### 1/5 — Too many commercials

*2024-04-05, version 1.15.1*

Tii many commercials fir such a short play time. When a second commercial interrupted the sane game and then two blocks later another commercial.  Game deleted

### 1/5 — 😐😴🥱😒

*2024-01-03, version 1.15.0*

ITS NOT THE BEST THING EVER BUT ITS OKAY 
WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS BACKGROUND MUSIC 
WHY IS THE BACKGROUND GREEN

### 1/5 — Ads

*2023-11-27, version 1.15.0*

I got a pop up ad before I could even see the first level

### 1/5 — Latest update has ruined this game

*2023-11-24, version 1.15.0*

I’ve been playing this game for months and enjoying it.  However, the latest update has introduced a move counter, so if you exceed the number of moves you have to watch ads to get more. Why?  Just why?  If was fine before and now there is no way to completely a level without multiple ads.  
This game is an absolute waste of time and effort and has devolved into yet another ad machine.  Developers: you had a good thing going, now this game will appeal to no one.  Congratulations.

### 1/5 — Game stopped working after update

*2023-08-10, version 1.14.1*

My i8 freezes at open screen now. Prior to the update, it stopped advancing levels.

### 1/5 — Deleted - too many ads

*2023-05-30, version 1.14.0*

Could be good if it wasn’t constantly interrupted by ads - mostly for the same games over and over again. Boring. Will be deleted once I’ve submitted this

### 1/5 — Stops working at level 957

*2023-05-18, version 1.14.0*

Good game to pass time but even when you solve or skip level 957 the game does not continue onto the next level. 
Lots of ads.

### 1/5 — Ads on every level

*2023-05-12, version 1.14.0*

Each level is followed by an ad. Deleting.

### 5/5 — Help!😂

*2025-02-22, version 1.16.1*

I found my new favourite puzzle game im addicted to it it’s relaxing and challenging and no wifi needed to play!

### 5/5 — Such a good game

*2024-09-21, version 1.16.1*

I’m currently on level 437 and I am so obsessed with this game it’s so good. I’ve gone so far that there are no new mechanics though so I just wish more would be uploaded but still it is a great game I recommend it

### 5/5 — Interesting game

*2024-07-06, version 1.15.2*

Thank you for fixing it so I could see all the blocks I have won! I like having a choice! Again, I am enjoying this game. The designers are very ‘sneaky’ inventing all sorts of problems for us to solve…PERFECT! When I catch a new style, I laugh because I really like the challenge! I really like having all the blocks to choose from…thought they were gone for good yesterday! I won the crystal ones today! Relaxing and fun…Paid for no ads…worth it, definitely! Later! ***LATER is here😆…A problem I am having; which I did submit to support, is the icons for the ‘helpers’ are way too close to the bottom of my playing board. Many times now I have accidentally ended up using them (I notice when something explodes on my board)…when I did not choose to…there has to be a better place to put them out of the way of gameplay….I slide a square along the bottom of the board…another helper lost. I get excited when I find the solution! Please can you fix this!*n*
[*****If I may….the not so stretchy ropes ARE PART OF solving the puzzles.]

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2024-07-04, version 1.15.2*

Make a Lydia game!

### 5/5 — A game made by real people and not by a money hungry company? What a shock

*2024-06-28, version 1.15.2*

Edit: can you get rid of or move that stupid skip button? And have a small menus for the mechanics? I keep hitting it on accident because it keeps popping up. can you make it so I can choose the background setting? I liked the space theme the most

Review: This game is so adorable and I really like it! I don’t have ads removed unless I actually like a game. This is fantastic!!!! Music is also very relaxing. It doesn’t feel scammy at all. They only thing you pay for is to removed the ads and it’s not overly priced like some other games. It doesn’t even force you to use the items you gain. You can save them! Thank you for being smart with your game!!!
