There are no more scenes after this. The game is still playable but to no reward. Is this game going to be updated? ### 2/5 — Really fun until the higher levels *2025-04-04, version 3.6.0* I started playing the game at Christmas and absolutely loved it, my only complaint was that the ads were next level long with no way to skip, some of them I put my phone down, made a snack and a tea and they would still be running. UNTIL I got to the higher levels, basically half the levels past 229 are impossible to play without paying. I actually played that level over 20 times and never even got close to finishing half, to their credit, they skipped me past after I emailed now the same thing is happening three levels later. Sad but it’s time to delete as you can’t win and doing the same level 29 times with the same result stops being a fun game and becomes a frustrating pointless chore. Seeya! ### 3/5 — Freezes on ads *2024-10-05, version 3.5.0* Don’t bother clicking through the ads to gain coins. The ad will freeze and you have to close the game and restart to play - you won’t have been given the coins ### 2/5 — Super fun game…until???? *2022-12-20* This is a fun game that is prefect for mindless playtime. However, the game slowly lures you by its fun until the fun completely stops. The levels get progressively hard….impossible to beat without putting money into the game. I don’t mind supporting a game financially but it gets ridiculous. I’m so disappointed that they manipulate their game settings to force you to spend money. That is too bad because most people just play casually and can not afford to dump money into every level just to beat it. I will have to look for another game that will keep the challenges at least manageable. I heard Candy Crush is a good game that you do not have to pour money into to beat levels. **Developer response:** Maybe you are playing Live Event levels? They’re a bit harder because it’s a special event. But you don’t have to play it if you don’t want to. If you’re stuck at a specific level, you can also ask for help from our support team. Please reach out to them using the Contact button on the Settings screen inside the game. ### 3/5 — Christmas sweeper *2022-12-16, version 2.7.0* Needs setting to turn off annoying hints ### 3/5 — 4 Stars *2022-11-14, version 2.6.6* Gave it 4 STARS because there is to many ADS…. Good bye app ### 2/5 — Bit disappointed *2022-11-10, version 2.6.6* I was enjoying this game but I finished renovating room six and then no more rooms just says coming soon. So now I get to play but there’s no getting anywhere not sure if it’s worth continuing. The read up says explore new areas but there aren’t any ### 3/5 — Annoying…. *2022-10-29* It is so annoying that it takes forever for a new area to be unlocked. What's the point of playing and collecting stars if I can't redeem them? When a new area is finally unlocked, you have collected so many stars that the whole area is completed at once and again you have to wait forever for the next new area. ### 3/5 — Does not open after latest updates *2022-10-14, version 2.6.1* Used to enjoy this game but for 3 days now it will not open. Please sort this out! ### 4/5 — Good game *2022-10-11* Edit: The rewards and rankings did finally appear like a day later, so very delayed but I did get them. They have just made a big update and change to the game, so I may re-do my review based on that soon. Was way ahead in a tournament with 30 mins left to go. No one had gotten any more points basically all day, which makes sense given it’s a Christmas game and it’s May. Went to bed and when I reopened the app today, nothing happened. No reward, no announcement of results. I don’t play for the tournaments, but I was excited to get some additional bonuses for winning to use in future gameplay. Really disappointed. So don’t count on getting anything for participating in a tournament. I have played other versions of this game, and while I think earlier versions are superior to this one, this one has some cool aspects like the paper airplanes which I really like. **Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed review and for your time.

Thank you for paying attention to the details of the game and we hope that with the latest update you will find it even more interesting and enjoyable to play. ### 2/5 — Nervt nur noch *2022-10-07* Seit dem letzten Update stürzt das Spiel ständig ab , total nervig! ### 3/5 — Frechheit! *2022-10-07* Bis jetzt konnte man 6 Stunden spielen, danach hatte man noch 5 Leben, seit dem neuen Update sind es nur noch 2 Stunden. Will man so provozieren, dass man Leben kauft? Bestimmt werde ich das nicht machen. Entweder es wird wieder geändert auf 6 Stunden freie Spielzeit, oder das Spiel wird gelöscht! Oder man richtet es zumindest so ein, dass nur die reine Spielzeit zählt, nicht auch wenn man nicht spielt. ### 2/5 — Christmas sweeper 4 *2022-10-06, version 2.6.0* A good match 3 game but very buggy, freezes a lot especially after adverts. ### 2/5 — Not quite add free *2022-09-09, version 2.5.0* Purchased jewels but was only add free for a short while,!!!! Now wants me to purchase again for add free!!!! Rip off! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2024-08-30, version 3.5.0* FIX THIS!!!! The last update (27.8.24) took for ever to complete and now the app does not open anymore. ### 1/5 — Negative stars *2023-11-23* I had this game last Christmas and played it done now I just download it again to start playing for this new holiday season, but for some reason I’m negative like 60 stars how is that possible? ### 1/5 — Not Fun *2022-12-14, version 2.6.6* Not enough opportunities to win power-ups. Games take too long to advance. ### 1/5 — New version crashes *2022-11-02, version 2.6.5* The new version is very hard to control and freezes every other turn. ### 1/5 — Continually crashes *2022-10-16, version 2.6.2* Since the last update, this game has become unplayable. It continually crashes. I have been stuck on the same level for hours; twice I completed it, but the game crashed before it registered as completed and I’ve had to start again. Crashing once in a while is annoying, crashing on at least half of the games played is unacceptable. Update: so now the most recent update seems to have sorted out the crashing issue. Instead I keep getting messages about ‘check my internet connection’ (it works for every other application) and won’t open. This has gone beyond a joke. ### 1/5 — Why is the game freezing up? *2022-10-13, version 2.6.1* Support@smiley gamer is useless ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2022-10-12* Now it just freezes, locks up and crashes ALL THE TIME. It didn’t start until the last couple of updates. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear about your issue. Have you managed to connect to the game by now? If the problem persists, please contact us by emailing support@smileygamer.com ### 1/5 — Updates! Wasting a good game *2022-10-09, version 2.6.1* What is going on? Every update recently increases the crashes, freezes and unlucky-out-of-able ads!!! 6hr daily unlimited lives down to 2h! Don’t they want us to play this game anymore? There are plenty of games out there - I have played this one for ages (level 1490) but am about to throw in the towel if they don’t sort out the horrendous gameplay since the updates. Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Shut down *2022-10-08* Over at least the last two updates I’m constantly having the game shut down at various stages. Causing me to lose games and extras! Very frustrating. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear about your issue. Have you managed to connect to the game by now? If the problem persists, please contact us by emailing support@smileygamer.com ### 1/5 — No more levels *2022-03-11, version 2.2.0* Please add more levels. I ran out of levels 3 months ago…….. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun game. *2025-12-11* It is kind of slow and drags trying to move to the next level. It is challenging but not too hard and is fun. The graphics are good and decorating is fun. It's had ads but not an obscene amount. That's refreshing. ### 5/5 — Why isn’t it being updated? *2025-12-07* Great game. Christmas Sweeper 3 is being updated but not this one? Why not? It’s a fun game to play ### 5/5 — Merry Christmas *2024-12-01, version 3.5.0* Love the game so far only up to level 30 but so far so good and I love all the others but prefer the games with moves not stars.update October 28 fabulous game. ### 5/5 — Echt süß 🥰 *2024-10-03* Gefällt mir total gut, man kommt so richtig in Weihnachtsstimmung auch wenn erst Oktober ist 😂😂 die Grafik ist echt niedlich und die Musik macht gute Laune, ich hoffe es kommen noch mehr Levels ### 5/5 — Love this game *2023-03-28* I love this game I can not stop playing. The levels, gifts, awards and challenges is awesome. Christmas Sweeper 4, customer service staff/team is awesome, they do their best to help fix problems when you have them. ### 5/5 — Merry Christmas *2022-11-01, version 2.6.5* Love the game so far only up to level 30 but so far so good and I love all the others but prefer the games with moves not stars.update October 28 fabulous game. ### 5/5 — Christmas sweeper *2021-11-27, version 2.2.0* I love love love this game. ### 5/5 — Good fun *2021-11-10, version 2.2.0* This game is sooooooooi addictive and fun.
