Same version as my husbands iPhone but I don’t get that option ### 2/5 — You have to pay money to win *2026-07-28, version 0.31.0* The only way to win is the pay money. Buyer beware! ### 2/5 — Schlecht konzipiert *2026-07-20* Man bekommt viel zu wenig Geld und zu wenig Sachen um die Level zu schaffen ### 4/5 — Mostly great *2026-07-15, version 0.29.0* I have fun playing this because I don’t have to think. Eventually you get to levels where the algorithm won’t allow you to pass without a purchase, so I deleted the game, downloaded and restarted. ### 4/5 — Addictive *2026-07-10, version 0.29.0* Really fun, but I think there’s a bug. Some of the levels will just be normal and genuinely take me an entire day to get passed, and then the very next level will be “super hard” and takes one try. Super fun game besides the occasional frustration though ### 3/5 — A good game but needs improvements *2026-07-04, version 0.29.0* This game is addicting and challenging, but the rewards are so minimal and cost of tools is extreme. Other games to buy tools cost around 75% less. To add any tool is over 1000 coins and sometimes won’t even help you. ### 4/5 — Could be better *2026-07-04, version 0.29.0* I love this game and play every day but the buckets don’t go around enough times. They should continue going around until they cannot fill anymore -infuriating because it messes with my strategy. Annoying. But still great ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2026-06-25, version 0.27.0* I understand ads in games but this game puts an ad after every single level. Every single one. It becomes infinitely faster to force close the game and reopen it instead of sitting through the excessive amount of advertisements. This is a decent game and runs well otherwise. If you have the money to spend on no ads it’s probably worth it. ### 2/5 — Levels keep going backwards *2026-06-23, version 0.27.0* Not sure why, but my game keeps going back a few levels. I’ll beat a few and play another time, no problem. Randomly it will take me backwards a few levels which can be very frustrating as they were already hard to pass the first time. Also, I wish there was more sounds. ### 2/5 — Cost / level difficulty / rewards are unbalanced *2026-06-13, version 0.26.0* The game rewards you with too few coins per level. You get 20 coins for completing a typical level, but it cost 900 coins to purchase a buffer. And if you choose to buy a buffer during round, it cost 2700 coins. This is a ridiculous reward progression. It also sprinkles in super difficult levels often every fourth or fifth round that make you unable to complete the reward rounds that would be helpful if you could actually earn them in a 60 minute sitting. I would expect to see a 10% coin allocation at the end of every round. if it costs 900 coin to buy a buffer that will help you in the game. It’s fair to play 10 rounds to earn enough coin to be able to buy a help so I would expect to get 90 to 100 coins per round. ### 1/5 — Costs money *2026-06-07, version 0.25.1* Don’t expect to get past certain levels unless you plan on spending money. They make it literally impossible to pass a level at a certain point unless you spend money vs. strategy. Huge disappointment because I was enjoying this game once in a while and it helps pick your brain. Deleting ### 1/5 — All they want is your money *2026-06-06, version 0.25.1* Level 426 is impossible to beat unless you buy something and I refuse to pay for anything ### 3/5 — Has something happened to the free chance/life for watching a video each level? *2026-06-04, version 0.25.1* This game is great fun. Until recently on each level you got the chance to watch a video and bypass losing the level. It gave you an extra chance. This extra chance by watching a video is the only way to get through many levels. I’m no longer being given the option to watch a video and get the free chance. So the game has become impossible. ### 1/5 — Unbalanced levels + bug *2026-06-04, version 0.25.1* The difficulty in levels varies way too much. Half of the levels are mind-numbingly easy while the other half is impossible to solve without several power-ups. I can get done with 3 levels in a row in less than a minute, then spend literal hours trying to do another level. And half of the time I fail a level when there’s clearly the same colored sand(?) touching the dropper. I’ve had multiple occasions where the level fails me in situations I should have won. And unless it’s unlocked much later in the game (I’ve been stuck on level 35 forever due to this bug), it looks there’s no real way to get coins aside of beating levels and in game purchases. And because I can’t beat the level, I can’t gain more coins for power-ups. I’ll be damned if I pay genuine real life money on this janky game, so I’ve been watching ads for extra hearts. Which, mind you, the game probably shouldn’t have to begin with. From other reviews I’ve seen, later levels are almost impossible to complete. Adding a life system was obviously done to waste coins and make people desperate, so they spend money on the game. Try to get money off of something that isn’t a horrible excuse of a mobile game next time. ### 1/5 — Booooooooooooooooo *2026-06-01, version 1.9.3* Level 85 is genuinely impossible. There is no way to pass it without spending money to get upgrades. Terrible game. ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-05-26, version 1.9.3* This game has a glitch, i had several time when i start to play and when the container movers the crystals doesn’t drops so i had to restart where my life gets finishes soon, so developers please make sure you fix it, thanks ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — . *2026-08-27, version 0.32.0* dont get this game waste of time ### 1/5 — Could love but… *2026-08-15, version 0.32.0* Too many levels that require purchase to pass doesn’t offer alternatives to gain boosts ### 1/5 — No sound in game *2026-08-09, version 0.31.1* The sounds are only in ads, but in game there is no sounds while playing ### 1/5 — Try something else *2026-08-07, version 0.31.1* By far one of the worst games I’ve played in a while. The failure mode is way too sensitive, you can tell whoever developed this game needs a new hobby. Maybe gardening ### 1/5 — Be prepared to delete *2026-07-27, version 0.31.0* It’s fun up until a certain point where you can’t play any further unless you buy extras. Another mobile game where the developers intentionally try to snooker you into spending money, as if the constant ads aren’t annoying enough. I’ve now deleted the app and given 1 star review to reflect my disappointment. ### 1/5 — Blatant, manipulative paywall at Level 179. Avoid *2026-07-16, version 0.29.0* Genuinely loved this game until Level 179, which is completely rigged. The developers intentionally flood the screen with orange crystals and starve you of cyan so it is mathematically impossible to pass without spending real money on extras. It is a predatory paywall designed to trick you into microtransactions. Do not waste your time or life downloading this app. Deleting immediately. ### 1/5 — Langweilig *2026-07-14* Man muss eigentlich nur zusehen, keinerlei Herausforderung ### 1/5 — bro *2026-07-02, version 0.28.0* literal rage bait. ### 1/5 — Pay to Play *2026-06-27, version 0.28.0* Just like every other game like this, after a certain point you’re forced to pay to be able to complete a level, SMH, I thought I found a game that wasn’t pay to play like all the other ones ### 1/5 — Glitch or bug *2026-06-12, version 0.26.0* Game won’t let you play without spending money. Levels I could beat all of a sudden say out of space when that’s not true. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun times *2026-07-06, version 0.29.0* I am really enjoying the relaxing and calming effect. This game has on me. ### 5/5 — Ads *2026-07-02, version 0.28.0* Be even better with no ads ### 5/5 — So satisfying! *2026-05-15, version 1.9.1* This game is easy to play, no ads, and incredibly satisfying! ### 5/5 — So good *2026-04-12, version 1.7.2* It good no bad I swear ### 5/5 — addicting *2026-03-08, version 1.3.2* very fun, the level reward to assist cost ratio is well done. ### 5/5 — Glitch and cant get past lvl 167 *2026-02-23, version 1.2.0* There are blue sand but it took away my blue bucket when i had to use my stars ### 5/5 — wonderful *2026-02-18, version 1.1.0* very nice ❤️ ### 5/5 — First Glance Review *2026-02-15, version 1.1.0* The game works well. The animations are pretty smooth. My game isn’t cut short because the game thinks I might not click fast enough. My favorite part: NO ADS. I usually play games to take my mind off stuff, and there aren’t any ads popping up out of nowhere in the middle of my game or between rounds to stress me back out again. Thank you so much for that. Truly. ### 4/5 — Really fun! Not enough levels yet *2026-08-08, version 0.31.1* i like this game a lot but my biggest complaint is i’ve been playing the same levels over and over again waiting for new things to be added :( it’s eventually going to be extremely boring but i’m hoping some day i will get more levels! ### 4/5 — Not always possible *2026-07-29, version 0.31.0* I like this mind challenging game, but have found that the colour of bucket I need is not always available. You then “fail” the game not through your own skill level but “computer error”. If it happens again I will delete it as it’s too annoying. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
