The game loads into the level on boot so I can’t even skip from level select either. Disappointing to get locked out of the rest this deep into the game. ### 2/5 — Stop the spinning! *2023-03-01, version 1.0.8* Fun to play but the spinning is SO annoying ### 2/5 — Unable to play since iOS update. *2023-02-22* The screen spins each time that I touch the screen. Please fix. **Developer response:** The rotation bug is now resolved in the latest update (v1.0.9). Sorry for the trouble! ### 4/5 — Fun game broke itself *2023-02-17* I’ve loved playing Blockwick 2 for several months and even purchased some of the additional game content after beating the main game. Ever since my phone updated to 1.16 the game will constantly try turning the screen after every move. It doesn’t matter if I have screen lock on. I’ve tried rebooting and reinstalling several times and it does nothing. Have to say I’m quite upset to see such a fun game removed from my phone for becoming unplayable. **Developer response:** The rotation bug is now resolved in the latest update (v1.0.9). Sorry for the trouble! ### 3/5 — Was a great app; now broken *2023-02-13* Loved this game, but it stopped working after recent iOS updates. **Developer response:** The rotation bug is now resolved in the latest update (v1.0.9). Sorry for the trouble! ### 4/5 — Unable to use app since latest update to iPad and iPhone *2023-01-19* The screen twists and turns and play is prevented. What’s up with this? **Developer response:** The rotation bug is now resolved in the latest update (v1.0.9). Sorry for the trouble! ### 4/5 — Problem after iPhone update *2022-11-13* I love this as well as the original Blockwick. But Blockwick 2 went haywire after I updated my iPhone software to 16.1.1. Can no longer use it. Tried removing and reinstalling. Tried turning phone off and on. Nothing helps. **Developer response:** The rotation bug is now resolved in the latest update (v1.0.9). Sorry for the trouble! ### 3/5 — Good game but, *2020-01-30, version 1.0.8* What’s with the ridiculously small buttons and puzzle size? You leave so much blank screen that could be used to enlarge buttons, menus and game boards. I’d give the game 5 starts if you used the available space a little better. ### 4/5 — Very good *2018-07-26, version 1.0.8* Quite thought provoking and nicely designed. Not keen on the “sticky” blocks maybe because they are too hard ! ### 3/5 — Bogus Reviews *2018-04-18* This is a solid 4 Star puzzle game. Nice polish on a very common style of puzzler. Down to 3 stars because there is no way to sync progress across devices... so I can’t play on my iPhone on the train and then pick up where I left off on the iPad at home. For the asking price it should have all the bells and whistles. I was sucked in by all the 5 star reviews, which I now suspect are bogus. Good game, but not that special. ### 3/5 — Very Expensive time waster £11.99 *2017-10-09, version 1.0.8* Purchased on all the positive reviews from 2 years ago then realised the game then was just £2.99 either the developers are getting greedy or perhaps a misprint.. The game itself is rather good Probably is one of the best if not the best Block moving game but you certainly are paying a high price for the privilege... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — War ein sehr schönes Spiel *2023-03-22* Leider nicht mehr nutzbar. Nach dem neuen Update sieht man alles verdreht **Developer response:** The rotation bug is now resolved in the latest update (v1.0.9). Sorry for the trouble! ### 1/5 — Nicht mehr nutzbar! *2023-03-12* Meine vorherige Bewertung wurde gelöscht! Skandal! Auf iPad nicht mehr nutzbar weil bei jedem Spielzug sich das Spielfeld um 360 Grad dreht. **Developer response:** The rotation bug is now resolved in the latest update (v1.0.9). Sorry for the trouble! ### 1/5 — Also having trouble… *2023-02-28* On iOS 16 with iPhone 10, original Blockwick works fine, but Blockwick 2 rotates 90 degrees briefly with every turn. I have tried uninstalling the app, then reinstalling, but the same problem. **Developer response:** The rotation bug is now resolved in the latest update (v1.0.9). Sorry for the trouble! ### 1/5 — Also having trouble… *2023-01-19, version 1.0.8* On iOS 16 with iPhone 10, original Blockwick works fine, but Blockwick 2 rotates 90 degrees briefly with every turn. I have tried uninstalling the app, then reinstalling, but the same problem. ### 1/5 — I loved this app so much but now I can’t play it *2022-12-29, version 1.0.8* I wish they could update to run on the new iOS 16. Every the screen is touched on y iPad, the screen rotates a full 360 degrees. EVERYTIME. It makes me nauseous. I will miss this game 😢 ### 1/5 — Won't work *2022-12-27, version 1.0.8* Opened on iPhone. Doesn't rotate as much as on iPad, but just impossible to use. Rotates with every touch. Wondering why it can't be fixed. ### 1/5 — Bug after update 16.1 *2022-11-23* Any time I touch a block or an input the screen rotates as if going into landscape then flips back. Every single touch does it. Makes it unplayable. Unfortunate. This is my go to time killer waiting in a dr. Office or on a train. Simple, fun, relaxing. But the app hasnt been updated in 6 years so it was bound to happen. **Developer response:** The rotation bug is now resolved in the latest update (v1.0.9). Sorry for the trouble! ### 1/5 — Broken App *2022-11-18, version 1.0.8* Post update it now has a bug where it confuses what orientation it is in every time you touch it. Makes it useless. ### 1/5 — Impossible to play after iOS update *2022-10-31, version 1.0.8* The moment one touches the screen, the game starts rotating and never stops. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — Achievementがまったく反映されない *2019-08-01* 適当すぎる開発 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Frozen *2026-06-27* I am on 8 level, I have finished some , but some just freeze up, can’t move anything, please fix. It is a challenge, but not when it freezes. Thanks ### 5/5 — Visez L'ILLUMINATION! *2026-03-25, version 1.0.9* Certains sont plus difficiles que d'autres à atteindre, mais qu'elle satisfaction! Parfois, une pause est salutaire pour voir la lumière au bout du tunnel... 😉🥰 ### 5/5 — Revived! *2026-03-14* Glad to see this puzzle game revived! It was one of my all time favorites, but was bummed it didn’t work with newer devices. Now it works great! Thank you for the update! ### 5/5 — Broken App *2026-02-27* Post update it now has a bug where it confuses what orientation it is in every time you touch it. Makes it useless. Update: it’s fixed! **Developer response:** The rotation bug is now resolved in the latest update (v1.0.9). Sorry for the trouble! ### 5/5 — Läuft nicht mehr unter iOS 16.3 *2023-01-27* Nach dem update iPadOS 16.3 ist die App nicht mehr nutzbar.. **Developer response:** The rotation bug is now resolved in the latest update (v1.0.9). Sorry for the trouble! ### 5/5 — Magnifique jeu *2022-03-24* Comme pour l'opus 1, le "problème" de ce jeu est qu'il se termine... snif. À quand un 3e volet ? Ce serait fantastique :-) ### 5/5 — Highly Addictive *2022-01-11* I purchased “Blockwick 2” years ago. I completed all the puzzles including Obscura. Then I deleted the app. I was looking for a puzzles app and saw it here. So, I re-downloaded it and I love it. I just wish they would make more puzzles. ### 5/5 — Great puzzles, nice enhancements from B1. *2019-06-02* Really enjoyed this series of puzzles. Would love a timer option so I can replay a month or so later. Beautiful look and feel, and a fabulous big free experience - nice code! ### 5/5 — My favourite puzzle game *2017-08-14, version 1.0.8* Well, it's taken me 2 years of sporadic playing but I've finally completed the whole of Blockwick 2 including Obscura and yes I 'illuminated' every level. Such a great game just to pick up when you need something to occupy (and tax) your brain a bit. Even just shunting the blocks about can be really soothing and so satisfying when you solve a level. I don't know what I'm going to do without it! ### 5/5 — This is the best Series of puzzle games that I have ever done *2017-08-14* I went through every puzzle in Blockwick, Blockwick 2, and Obscura. I loved them. I would happily pay for more of the Obscura level puzzles.... I wonder how many people have gone through the entire series illuminating every one of them... loved it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
