Leave an option to pay for no ads. ### 3/5 — Great game but horrible ads *2026-05-28, version 2.17* This is a really great game. I love it. But the ads which pop up after every game are incredibly long and boring. It’s impossible to end them and there doesn’t seem to be any way of paying a fee to stop the ads. Sadly I will have to delete the game. It could have been so good! ### 5/5 — Wowowewa *2026-05-18, version 2.17* Simple, amazing game great for when you have some spare time or when you need to unwind exactly what a phone game should be an actual solid game love it so much ### 5/5 — no ads *2026-05-17, version 2.17* fun lil game to kill some time and you don’t have to sit through ads to play it 🔥 ### 3/5 — Frustrated *2026-05-11, version 2.15* I love this game but the amount of ads and the length of ads is ridiculous. Really takes away from the enjoyment and makes it easy to lose interest ### 4/5 — Please make it so we can get it without ads *2026-05-05, version 2.15* I love this game, the only problem that I have is that it does have ads. I wish that I could spend at least $1 to permanently get rid of ads. I would have given this 5 stars if we had that. ### 5/5 — Nice merge *2026-04-29, version 2.15* Small area to do the merge is challenging. Saw the ad for the game with dark theme. After downloading, argh bright mode! Had hoped for dark theme. Checked settings, and there it is! Whew! ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-04-14, version 2.14* I love this game because it’s really cool and it calms me down and it’s better than block blast ### 5/5 — The only game I play! *2026-03-11, version 2.14* Great to strategically take a brain break, and refocus more logically ### 5/5 — Thanks Ryan and Haley! :) *2026-02-12, version 2.14* I was watching the “50 states in 50 days Ryan Teagan series” and he recommended this app! Thanks so much devs and Ryan and Haley Trahan! Love you game and love the series! P.S. Ryan Trahan if your reading this I loooooooooooooove your candy! Great job!😊🩷✨ ### 2/5 — Ads kill the joy of the app *2025-12-06, version 2.13* I truly enjoy this app as it serves as a mental break but the intrusive ads are a buzz kill! After and before every round there is an ad. The same ads over and over and they are long ads. Reduce the ads and this app would be better. ### 4/5 — shoutout to ryan for introducing me to this game *2025-11-28, version 2.13* i also found this game through ryan trahan, and i must say, it is a pretty fun game to play. especially whenever you just need something to kill the time or relax too. yes, the dice are randomized, and the game is simply luck, but to me it makes it even more of a fun puzzle. will note that ads still exist, and i mean they do have to get money out of the app somehow, so get your bag how you have to get it. one thing i do want to get fixed though, is that sometimes i like to listen to music when playing and it randomly will get paused or turned off when playing. so, devs, if you see this, love your game but please fix this one little problem if you can. but definitely would recommend this game to anyone who needs a chill game or just something fun 🤍 ### 3/5 — Fun game but too many ads *2025-11-07, version 2.13* I like the game but ads come after each play and are long and hard to clear. Ultimately not worth it. Would have considered paying for ad free version ### 3/5 — 3 stars *2025-10-20, version 2.13* I love the game it is fun and challenging but personally not whatI look for in a merge game I don’t find it that interesting yet I do like that you just get to merge instead of having this whole story line where you have to have stamina and have to wait to merge I personally just want to have a story with merge where I can just play without having to wait three minutes every time I know this is kind of long but this is my opinion even though nobody will probably ever read this ### 5/5 — Fun Quick Game Sessions *2025-10-14, version 2.13* This game is pretty fun and quite challenging. At a certain point it feels very luck based but if you play right it’s quite a challenge. Simple gameplay and UI makes this app visually aesthetic and nice. ### 5/5 — Dice merge *2025-10-13, version 2.13* It is so fun it is also challenging I love playing this game it is just amazing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Purposely gives you the block you needed the step after it’s too late *2026-05-12, version 2.15* Played 10 tries in a row and it happened each time. The game is designed to block you instead of having true randomness ### 1/5 — Can’t listen to other apps due to ads *2025-07-21, version 2.13* The game is fun but the ads in the game constantly interrupt my audiobook or podcast so that I can’t play the game while listening to something else. Im not talking about the full length ads. Just the ones at the bottom of the page during actual gameplay. They don’t even have sound but they constantly pause whatever else I’m listening to. Please fix the audio interruptions!! ### 1/5 — Too Hard *2025-07-16, version 2.13* It’d be fun if the die was truly random and not punishing. ### 1/5 — Remover Anúncios *2025-03-26* Não há a possibilidade de comprar o jogo e remover os anúncios. ### 1/5 — Do not by *2025-01-25, version 2.06* I hate this game. It is so stupid. The only reason why I’m paying this is because of my job ### 1/5 — Missing Critical Features *2025-01-24* This seems like a puzzle game, but its a luck game. There is no opportunity for forethought and the game actively punishes you for trying to think ahead. I think they could fix it by borrowing a couple features from Tetris. First, you need to be able to see what the next piece will be. Second, there should be am option to hold a piece for later use. Then it would be a puzzle game requiring thought and not just blind chance. ### 1/5 — Can't play because of ads *2023-12-14, version 1.8* Could you please please make a paid app to get rid of ads? This is my favorite game but can't play it because of ads. Just make a free and a paid version like everyone else ### 1/5 — Yet another low budget cash grab *2023-06-28* This app was obviously only created to mine your data and sell it. Not to mention the adds are out of control, they pop up after every time you win or lose a game, and it makes my phone freeze up to where I have to turn it off and back on to reset it. (Iphone 12) I’d give no stars if I could. Save yourself the wasted time and just avoid this app. ### 1/5 — Mandatory ads?! *2023-06-19* Why can you pay to remove ads. Stupid ### 1/5 — ゆきこ *2023-05-31* 締まりがよかった ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Addicted *2026-08-18, version 2.22* Why is this kinda a smart idea and addicting!? ### 5/5 — Merge *2026-08-10, version 2.20* Super fun and satisfying ### 5/5 — Simple Fun *2026-06-17, version 2.17* ❤️ ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-15, version 2.17* So much fun ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-06-14, version 2.17* Have fun pairing dice to match. ### 5/5 — Too many ads *2026-06-01, version 2.17* This game is full on ads. ### 5/5 — Dice Merge. *2026-05-30, version 2.17* Something New & I like 👍 it. ### 5/5 — Great little game *2026-05-29, version 2.17* Relaxing game to pass time ### 5/5 — Puzzle *2026-05-25, version 2.17* Different strategy game ### 5/5 — Really Fun *2026-05-18, version 2.17* Good old fashioned game that isn’t trying to sell you something.
