I love the many levels that I can play as much as I want to without spending more money. This is the best game because it’s challenging and fun without being frustrating. All the Bull Bitz games are great! ### 3/5 — Update *2020-09-22* I love this game but a recent update has made it impossible to turn the sound off. Please correct it. ### 5/5 — So far it’s fun! *2019-10-21* I like that you can choose your level of play. Great graphics, a little confusing as to which way the rows will clear. ### 5/5 — I absolutely LOVE this App! *2019-05-03* This game is one of a kind. Kuddos to the developer! ### 5/5 — Awesome games! *2017-12-21* Before discovering this developer, I had literally given up on match 3 games. They are all the same nowadays (either generic and poor quality, or filled with obnoxious advertising, Facebook nags and in-app purchases). You won't find any of it here! Christmas Drops is delightful and relaxing. The game's objectives are interesting and get you hooked. Effects are great, as well as the music and sounds. I've played through Halloween Drops and Christmas Drops twice. Now I'm back for more and I'll return again for Valentine's Day and Easter. Love the holiday themes! Thanks to the developer and Merry Christmas 😊🎄 ### 5/5 — You’re awesome *2017-12-12* A rare puzzle game that is premium. No ads, no need to buy power ups, no energy system, and no freakin lives. Awesome. The only problem I have is that it isn’t updated often ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-11-12* Levels get harder as you go. Kept my interest ### 5/5 — I’m glad to be back *2017-10-29* Enjoy all your games went from android to Apple glad I didn’t have to repurchase this one. ### 5/5 — Christmas Drops *2017-01-25* 2 years since I wrote a review on these games. The graphics are good, music is wonderful and the levels are gradually more challenging. 10 out of 10 every time. Now all the games I have purchased need to be updated for IOS 10. ### 5/5 — Great game *2016-05-07* Excellent match 3 game. Nothing more to pay, great game play and cute animation. A bit tricky on the higher levels but lots of fun. Great value, if you play all levels all the way through, hours of entertainment. ## Frequently asked questions about Christmas Drops ### What is Christmas Drops?
