As the most colourblind you can, I cannot tell the difference between the pink and “light blue” tiles so I could not continue to play it. Please consider using more vivid and opposite colours in the future, Cheers ### 5/5 — Still not tired of this game!! *2018-01-24, version 4.0.1* Great game!

Stop!!! ### 1/5 — Don't get this app!!!! *2016-07-18, version 3.5* This app is a BIG wast of your time!!!! ### 1/5 — Compulsive *2015-02-21, version 3.1.4* I don't like it now, it keeps kicking me off, I liked it at the first but I deleted it and got it again and still is ### 1/5 — Arcade only *2014-08-23, version 3.0.1* Strategy mode is locked until you post a score to a "social leaderboard" or pay money. Apparently Game Center doesn't count, and I don't know of any other social leaderboards. Garbage ### 2/5 — Ads are an app-killer *2018-04-07, version 4.0.1* The game itself is good. But the sudden ads that interrupt a game and sometimes with NO “close” option visible, forces leaving the game. This has happened enough that I’m done playing. Prefer to pay for an app than to deal with that. ### 2/5 — Il multiplayer non funziona *2014-02-04, version 2.2* Il gioco è carino e può dare dipendenza, una funzione che sembra promettere bene è il multiplayer che però non funziona, aspetto aggiornamenti. ### 2/5 — Insistent *2014-01-20, version 2.0* It's an okay game, but il probably going to stop playing it, because after every game, it asks to change your Facebook permissions. EVERY SINGLE TIME. There must be some kind of App Store rule against that. At least I wish there was. I gave it the permissions I wanted it to have...now just let me play the game. ### 2/5 — Not good *2013-12-23, version 2.0* It was better before the update. It used to pause while getting multiple blocks. I can't even get my score up to half of what I used to. It's cool that you can grab a piece while the other pieces are being removed but it doesn't move until they are done which is kind of pointless. And I just paid to remove ads. I wish I didn't now because I just want to delete it after the update. At least make an option for a longer game please. ### 3/5 — Challenges *2017-03-06, version 4.0.1* Is it possible to speed up the connecting with sever to send scores? It's incredibly slow. ### 3/5 — Nice simple game!! *2016-02-21, version 3.3* Nice simple game - worth the download! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Still love it! *2023-01-02, version 4.3.3* I’ve been playing this game for years. It can be fun, challenging, and relaxing. There are so many different ways to play. ### 5/5 — Love *2022-09-26, version 4.3.3* I really like this game. It’s a nice calm, relaxing game if you choose the Zen Mode. Always works well, no glitches. And no advertisements! 🥳🥳🥳 Highly Recommend! 😊 ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2020-07-27, version 4.1* I don’t know how I missed seeing this one before since it’s been around awhile. But I’m glad I found it! I love the different modes depending on how you want to play, there are so many options. It’s really fun, and I find myself wanting to keep playing “just one more.” I immediately paid the very fair price to remove ads. And the developer clearly keeps this game updated too! Thank you, developer, this is a great game monetized fairly, we need more like you out there, I happily support you! ### 5/5 — Genial *2020-05-19, version 4.1* Este juego es súper genial, un juego minimalista perfecto para pasar el rato y que a veces inclusive se vuelve adictivo por la forma visual del juego 10/10 ### 5/5 — All the fun of games like candy crush without the fuss *2020-03-14, version 4.1* I love how you don't have to keep paying for things yet it has that same feel ### 5/5 — Surprisingly fun *2019-08-04, version 4.1* Although I come in far below average ,which was a surprise, it it a delightful game. If you want to get good you must play it like chess... think 3 moves ahead. It is a mellow pastime otherwise. Highly recommend for your app library! ### 5/5 — Still loving this game *2019-06-12, version 4.1* It’s an oldie but a great way to kill time... ### 5/5 — Compulsive *2018-12-21, version 4.1* Love it, very addicting ### 5/5 — Takes a little thinking *2018-12-15, version 4.1* and practice if you want to get good. You can remove in app adds for just 99 cents. I really like the fact that there is an option to rate yourself against the world. You don’t get pushed at all to make in app purchases ### 5/5 — PERFECT and still addictive. *2018-09-04, version 4.1* I love I love I LOVE this app. No bugs yet!! If you’re sick of lives and trying to level up with in-app purchases and want to learn something quick, fun and relaxing, delete your other apps for awhile. Anyone who’s good at Diamond Dash or Two Dots can learn how to play Compulsive real quick, and if you’re even more competitive with YOURSELF then try the challenges, they’re endless fun for hardcore smartphone gamers. Just make sure you have your iPhone timer handy if you’re too addicted 😂😂 I am. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
