### 4/5 — Good game, but…

*2026-08-20, version 2.61.0*

I had fun playing for about 2 months.  Then the levels got way too hard to win and wanted me to keep purchasing.  When you lose 5 or 6 games in a row because it’s not winnable, time to leave because it was no longer fun to play.  I don’t mind buying sometimes, but it got ridiculous.  Game deleted.

### 4/5 — Great game but would appreciate a tweak if possible.

*2026-08-13, version 2.60.0*

I have been playing this game for at least two years if not longer. I also spend a decent amount of money in the game. I enjoy the game- its prizes and am at a successful level on a team that is fairly high in the ranks. 

This current team is at a standstill for reorganization because the leader and only co-leaders have long ago abandoned the team. The developer response is that they have no way to help in this situation. This leaves the team to flounder with no way to remove inactive players and reorganize. The only option as a competitive player,
it seems, is to leave the team or play on a team with an obvious handicap.  Would love if the developer could come up with a way to help a team in this situation. Thank you.

### 2/5 — Game gets stuck

*2026-07-24, version 2.58.0*

The ball keeps spinning and doesn’t stop , game then gets stuck and nothing works???

### 2/5 — Is there a bug?

*2026-05-27, version 2.51.0*

The new version seems to have a bug. After updating I tried to play and play freezes where it just shakes and you can’t move any pieces.

### 2/5 — Sad

*2026-05-25, version 2.51.0*

Unhappy   I was playing the lighthouse level when the game update actually took me back a level. Now I have to redo the castle league. And 13 days is much too long for an event. Very disappointed in the game

### 3/5 — Game freeze

*2026-05-08, version 2.49.0*

Please fix the game. Screen crashes after every round on the Egypt cache. Send a patch asap

### 1/5 — My favorite game for going on 3 years

*2026-05-03, version 2.49.0*

I recently did the latest update as I always do & every time I try to play (I spend many hours a day playing , I am sick for over a year). I’m a co leader on my team on my very active team. But as stated every time I try to click on the icon to play it simply blinks off & won’t let me play. I’m told many of my teammates are also having problems. I just want to know how to get back to my game?

### 1/5 — Decent game , arrogant support

*2026-04-21, version 2.47.0*

The game is fine—typical ads and some odd mechanics, but playable. The real problem is the customer service. If you report an error, they make you wait days only to ask for "video proof." Nobody records every single level they play, and they know that.
As soon as you can't provide a video, they claim "nothing is abnormal" and shut the door. They don't want to help; they treat players like an annoyance. Once the chat is closed, that’s it. No accountability, no real support. Play the game, but don't expect them to care if something breaks.

### 1/5 — Connection Problem

*2026-04-14, version 2.47.0*

I’ve been playing this game for some time. Spent plenty of money. Played on team Michigan since the start. Then I’ve had connection issues.  Did everything they said to do and nothing.  Then decided to delete the app and reinstalled.  Well it started me back at game one.  Lost my team and all my stats.  Can get no help from their support team.  Advice do not spend a dime on this game.  Very dissatisfied with their support team.  Maybe they will figure it out but looks like they are not interested in helping with the problem. BEWARE. Started again. Deleted and reinstalled. Still just closing out. Can’t even connect back to support. So dissatisfied and disappointed with this app.  Should get  full refund on all I’ve spent playing this game. Again BEWARE.

### 1/5 — Backup your game progress!

*2026-04-14, version 2.47.0*

Make sure you back your game up when you move to a new phone. If not all your progress will not be saved and no matter how much $ you spend on the game the developers are not willing to help. Worthless customer support.

### 1/5 — Waste

*2026-04-11, version 2.46.0*

You claim 'real support staff' handles follow-ups, but the reality is a failure. My original request (Conversation ID: #44066) was sent on Monday, April 6, 2026. It took five days for your 'staff' to reply, only for them to ignore my questions, claim the logs showed 'no abnormality,' and then lock the chat so I couldn’t even respond.
I have screenshots proving the issue exists. Telling me to look for 'red dots' in a menu doesn’t fix a broken game. If this is how you handle technical support, I can only imagine the incompetence when it comes to serious issues involving money.

### 1/5 — App developers refuse to help

*2026-04-08, version 2.46.0*

I have reported someone who is spamming loads of teams and causing havoc but they refuse to do anything stating they can't! It's hard to ban someone who jumps in and out of the teams.   Be warned, you will get spammed with loads of adverts from level 800. Relentlessly trying to bully u into paying to stop them

They've said it's normal to jump in and out of teams but the person doing it was spamming teams and then leaving, we were told to ban her but they refused to accept, she was in and out too quickly.

### 1/5 — New update terrible

*2026-04-06, version 2.45.0*

The new update is terrible. Constant ads for new games. Must remove app and reinstall because it gets stuck on the ad.

### 4/5 — Problem with getting rewards

*2026-03-26, version 2.44.0*

I purchased golden ticket and completed the game and collected the 5000 coins. On main page shows the game as finished but when I click on the treasure box it says I’ll receive awards when finished. Why won’t it release? I finished the basketball court and am on round 178 of castle league and completed 4 rounds since completing the game. I love the game but this is the second time I haven’t been able to receive prizes earned

### 3/5 — Great if you don’t have problems

*2026-03-22, version 2.44.0*

I keep having problems with this game. Hopefully you don’t.  Because if you do, they will never get back to you.  I have deleted and reinstall this game so many times trying to fix problems. I have been trying to get in touch with these people and nobody will get back to me.  I tried to get help on Facebook also.  Don’t put money into it cause you’ll lose it all. And don’t believe people that said there are no ads because every time you want to earn a booster you have to watch an ad all you have to use up all your coins. And the boosters are not that cheap.  You are maybe 30 coins a game if you’re lucky and sometimes you can win up to 100 but then you have to pay 900 to 1900 for a booster. They don’t want you to win because they make money when you watch ads.

### 1/5 — The game stopped working!

*2026-08-19, version 2.61.0*

I haven’t been able to get the game to open for a few days now! I deleted and reinstalled it and still isn’t opening. What is the problem? I’m playing on an iphone. This is my 2nd time writing a review but no response from the developers

### 1/5 — New bugs

*2026-08-06, version 2.60.0*

Each update brings new bugs. This time it occasionally fails to respond to a match which, if one part is a booster, can ruin a move. At least it’s no longer trying to set my iPad on fire.

### 1/5 — Too difficult to be fun

*2026-07-09, version 2.56.0*

For a long time this game avoided the mistake of other similar games by keeping the levels fun. Lately they’ve decided to make almost impossible levels which need dozens of attempts to complete. After playing this regularly for many months & spending £10 every month I think it’s time to delete & move on to something new. Rather sad as this had been excellent with great graphics & responsive play.

### 1/5 — No update

*2026-06-23, version 2.53.0*

No new update for people to progress to get the green note but people are paying money to play this

### 1/5 — Upgrade

*2026-06-22, version 2.53.0*

Upgrade is not available and support is not responding

### 1/5 — Issues

*2026-06-05, version 2.52.0*

Never had issues before,now getting connections issues. Can’t connect to team , no help from support.
I’ve tried everything developer has suggested but nothing works, no connection all day then comes back on late evening.

### 1/5 — Issues

*2026-06-02, version 2.52.0*

Never had issues before,now getting connections issues. Can’t connect to team , no help from support.

### 1/5 — Cashed again

*2026-05-31, version 2.51.0*

there was a glitch in one of the levels for the last week i had to quit the level and lost my super light ball!

### 1/5 — New version

*2026-05-11, version 2.49.0*

Will not load or open

### 1/5 — My favorite game for going on 3 years

*2026-05-08, version 2.49.0*

✅UPDATE✅ May 7, 2026 I have no other device as per your advice. However my phone is not old. I have very little installed in my phone- even deleted many things that I did have in case that was an issue. I have deleted the game & reinstalled it several times. I have done a factory reset on my phone (which was a pain in my butt). I love this game & really miss playing it. I don’t know what else to do. It’s really upsetting. I am not well for years now & this is my one little escape from that reality.

Best game ever.   I am 80 and play every day because it’s so much fun

### 5/5 — Disappointed Not AD FREE

*2026-04-01, version 2.45.0*

The game was advertised as ad free! No ads! So I downloaded it. I reached level 800 and now there are ads between the levels. That you advertised as ad free and now have ads is considered a bait and switch.
