### 3/5 — Great game but is no longer being updated

*2025-04-10, version 2.0.2*

It’s a fun game when it works but the game often crashes and is unusable. If the dev can fix this then this would be a 5-star game.

### 3/5 — Login failed please try again later

*2024-03-20, version 2.0.2*

When I have opened this app, a message pops up saying “login failed please try again later” I remember enjoying playing this game before but, the problem with it is that I am unable to play the game because an error message pops up saying login failed please try again later. Developers, I hope you can solve this problem please. Thank you.

### 2/5 — Chrystal Blast

*2023-11-07, version 2.0.2*

Refuses to open , uninstalled & reinstalled and no go. Played it for about a half hour when I first got it, it was fun, too bad that was the last.

### 2/5 — Used to be a great game.

*2023-04-19, version 2.0.2*

Like others, I experience regular crashes, though sometimes I am able to finish a game. 
Unfortunately the developers don’t seem to read their emails, let alone respond to them. 
Really unfortunate, as I had played up to level 1800 and really enjoyed the challenge of those difficult games at that level. 

COME ON, DEVELOPERS, FIX IT!!!

### 4/5 — Love it but…

*2023-03-23, version 2.0.2*

The game constantly crashes or it says login failed. I wish I could play the game but I’ve played it so long that I can’t delete it I keep hoping they’ll fix this.

### 2/5 — Great game. It keeps crashing with newest iOS update.

*2023-03-21, version 2.0.2*

Would be five stars if I could play it anymore.  IOS 16.3.1 update kills the app every time it is launched. Please fix.

### 3/5 — Never updates

*2023-01-17, version 2.0.2*

This game is the best brick ball game I’ve played. I’m almost at level 2000. BUT it crashes all the time and the daily rewards never work. The developers are lazy and never update or fix the game, so it’s pretty pointless now. I wish they would fix it and keep up with it.

### 4/5 — Love but bummed

*2022-12-02, version 2.0.2*

This app no longer wants to work though it’s my favorite game. It’s like after a certain level they just gave up. I can’t get it to work on anything but my iPad-on my iPhone it keeps saying there’s an error when I try to open it. Because it would stall out on my iPad I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall and now it’s giving that error message. Totally bummed.

### 2/5 — Can’t make purchases

*2022-10-28, version 2.0.2*

Can’t make purchases and daily coin reward never works. Freezes all the time

### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work

*2022-04-28, version 2.0.2*

Used to be my favorite game. Stopped working entirely about a year ago. I saw that there was an update since then and downloaded just now. “Login failed, please try again later” over and over and over again. If you’re not going to fix this game, just take it down. Frustrating that I put time and money into this.

### 1/5 — Anonymous

*2022-01-20, version 2.0.2*

Was a fun game until it started having problems and none of the bug fixes work and the game keeps shutting down-especially when I’ve tried to use a booster that I paid for. Very frustrating and taking money from customers. Now purchases don’t even show up. Reporting to apple and my credit card company as fraud. Rated a one star because it was a great game for a while and because zero stars isn’t an option.

### 1/5 — I can’t even play the game

*2022-01-19, version 2.0.2*

This game was great before it updated. I would start to play a level and absolutely couldn’t. It would freeze after a few shots. I uninstalled the game. I just reinstalled it after months and it’s worse. After the title screen loads a message pops up saying “login failed please try again later”. You click “ok” and the message just keeps popping up. I put money into the game, now for nothing. 

If y’all would fix the game it’d be awesome.

### 1/5 — Disappointed and deleting

*2022-01-17, version 2.0.2*

Made it to lvl 800+ and finally decided to purchase no ads, I am still getting the same amount of ads… nothing has changed. Now my least favorite game. I feel cheated.

### 1/5 — Not giving me my purchases!

*2021-12-21, version 2.0.2*

I just bought a $49.99 purchase and it didn’t show up in my coins or items…and it has said it was successful. So I tried again with a lower dollar amount (4.99) and though it said it was successful…it also didn’t show up. I tried clicking restore purchases but that didn’t help either.

### 1/5 — SKULL

*2021-12-09, version 2.0.2*

This game has not been functioning well for months but I managed to get to level 3001 without all the extras. Now its showing a skull on this level. Does this mean I’ve reached the end? WTH? Lion Studios needs to start answering questions about why there are so many problems with this game!!!

### 1/5 — Used to love this game BUT now…

*2021-10-19, version 2.0.2*

I love this game, but it hasn’t worked at all on my iPhone for a while now.  It appeared as if it was trying to log me in to the game but it just kept circling.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times but it still doesn’t work.  When will this be fixed?

### 2/5 — App crashing

*2021-10-13, version 2.0.2*

I love this game, specifically the mode where you stack the numbers (it’s kind of a combination of 2048 and Tetris). 

The app has been crashing immediately after opening. This has been going on for months. Please fix!!

### 2/5 — No more game?

*2021-09-21, version 2.0.2*

This game no longer opens for me and it’s been at least two weeks. I’ve been playing it for awhile too!

### 1/5 — Used to Love the game

*2021-09-14, version 2.0.2*

I installed this game well over a year ago.  Was my absolute favorite game, so addictive.  Loved the challenge and was a great stress reliever.  For about the past six months it was very glitchy, wouldn’t let me pass levels, I would win and then would kick me off.  Then stated problems with the server, whatever that means.  Now it won’t open at all, just shows a spinning wheel.  I have tried e-mails, reviews, messenger and Facebook with no response.   Thanks a lot developers !!!!!  I haven’t deleted it as I hope that miraculously someday it will work.  I really wish that someone would just answer me.  It’s sad that a great game just disappeared.   Honestly I really don’t know why I’m writing this, I’m sure no one will answer me😩

### 1/5 — Bug still not fixed 😕

*2024-03-15, version 2.0.2*

Update finally came to fix the bug we’ve all been reporting but still getting same error message and closes halfway through the game.

### 1/5 — Please I’m begging you

*2024-01-26, version 2.0.2*

Please update this game it has been my adhd hyperfixation for so many years and I miss it. I’m about to go dig out my old iPod touch to see if it’ll play on that iOS version
1 star for the unplayable game it is currently
5 stars for what it used to be </3

### 1/5 — Login failed

*2023-11-28, version 2.0.2*

“Please try again later” Just downloaded, never played yet.

### 1/5 — Fix the app

*2023-08-31, version 2.0.2*

What’s with all the crashing?  No updates forever.  The developers have clearly left this app behind.

### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing

*2023-07-29, version 2.0.2*

As of 07/29/23 keeps crashing as soon as it’s opened

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2023-04-04, version 2.0.2*

App will not stop crashing with recent iOS updates

### 1/5 — Crashes on startup

*2023-03-05, version 2.0.2*

Unplayable.  Continuous crash on startup.

### 1/5 — Update created huge problems!

*2023-02-22, version 2.0.2*

I really enjoy this game. Yeah, the ads are annoying and there are levels that beg for me to purchase helps, but I plug along. The worst is that a recent update reset the game to level one, and I was several hundred levels in. The game also shuts down after a few levels and I have to reopen the app. It’s as if they added a bug when they tried to fix the game. 
Update: this game still crashes in the middle of games. I’ve wanted to purchase helps, but it never works. I still play because I like the concept but the game is loaded with bugs and pains in the neck.

### 1/5 — Games been glitching

*2022-11-28, version 2.0.2*

I’ve been playing for over a year and recently the game just shuts off while I’m playing in the middle of the game the app closes.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2022-07-27, version 2.0.2*

Can not even load the game, gives nothing but the opening screen then says “login failed please try again later”. This is a broken game and is not able to be played

### 5/5 — Many bugs

*2021-08-02, version 2.0.2*

I’ve been playing for a while— upwards of 500 levels. It’s stopped giving daily rewards, disconnects from the server constantly, and officially has stopped letting me play all together. The game is super fun but there’s no way to reach support in game that I can find.

### 5/5 — Love it but…

*2021-06-30, version 2.0.2*

I’m on level 1481, as soon as I start a level it will say no connection to server, then it’ll kick me off the app. I am on WiFi and have service. I loved this game but if I can’t play it then I’ll delete.

### 5/5 — Love this game!!

*2021-06-11, version 2.0.2*

It’s an amazing game but the past week it’s been freezing and making me repeat some levels that have already been passed. Also I purchased a bonus pack for 11.99 and was charged twice but didn’t receive and extra coins or the bonuses that you was supposed to get for the original 11.99. The menu won’t even let me restore purchases and this is the only way I could reach out to report the issue. So now I’m down $23.98 and have nothing to show for it.. I would love to be compensated for what I paid for bc I absolutely love this game and have never had any issues before

### 5/5 — Connection problem

*2021-03-08, version 2.0.2*

Hello there been having an issue with the game it keeps saying connection error-1 while I do have internet and kicks me out of the game and resets the level

### 5/5 — Love the game, but please help!

*2021-03-03, version 2.0.1*

I absolutely love this game! But recently i keep getting a connectivity error message and it kicks me back to level 1065 even after i beat it... maybe a bug?

### 5/5 — GREAT ... UNTIL ...

*2021-02-19*

Oh enjoyed this game more than any game I’ve ever played. In fact, I’m at level 1460 now. The problem is... once I got to a certain point (for me, it was around 1200), the game started acting really weird.

Ads wouldn’t load. When they did, they wouldn’t turn off.

Point would no longer count, levels would freeze and have to restart. And, a few other issues that have made the game almost unplayable.

I don’t know of this is a game glitch or a feature meant to get us to stop playing. I don’t know.

But, whatever the problem... it took ALL the joy out of playing it.

### 5/5 — Longest interest keeper

*2020-09-15, version 1.7.5*

I have played several games in my day.  This game is very entertaining and reasonable in ads.  I might buy a game benefit, not for the necessity but to show my support to developers.  Very addicting but pleasantly so.  Enjoy

### 5/5 — Good game!

*2020-07-07*

I’ve had no problems with this game whatsoever reading the reviews i expected a game with ads every level and crashing restarting to level 1 but it must just be those people’s phone because mine is working perfectly fine !

**Developer response:** Thank you for your support! Please enjoy this game!

### 5/5 — What’s with it resetting. 6/30 update

*2020-07-01*

I was up to level 384 and it was working fine. The last two days this has shut off while I was playing and reset me to level 1 both times and I lose all my progress and coins.   Please fix this problem.   Update. Again today closed and restarted at level one. I used to love this game but now I’ve played the same levels four times.

They fixed the bug AND restored my original level that reset. Thanks so much. Play on.

**Developer response:** Dear player, we are sorry that the game maintenance has brought you the bad game experience. Please provide us your UID which could find in the setting page. We'll conduct a comprehensive check to solve this problem.Thank you so much for your support and understanding.

### 4/5 — Please fix this game!

*2023-05-08, version 2.0.2*

I love the game…but it often closes in the middle of play.  So frustrating!  It’s a great game…but something is not right with it.
