### 2/5 — Just make the game abt ads at this point

*2026-07-13, version 2.9.78*

It’s kind of fun but the ads are going to drive me insane

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2026-04-14, version 2.9.75*

Okay, the game itself is pretty fun and I often get addicted to playing it when there isn’t anything else to do on my phone. The ads are absolutely the most abundant thing on the app, but if you play on airplane mode and focus entirely on the game itself, you get the full experience. Puzzle is immersive and passes the time well. I think its fun personally.

### 4/5 — 難易度あげて!

*2025-11-19, version 2.9.73*

面白いのですが、35くらいまでしかレベルがないのが悲しいです。
100くらいまで(もしくは上限なし)にしてほしいです!

### 4/5 — 滿好玩，可是…

*2025-10-21, version 2.9.73*

蠻好玩的，可是移動速度會變慢很卡，而且手機會很燙

### 3/5 — Phone gets hot

*2025-10-07, version 2.9.73*

Ever since the iOS 26.0 update, my phone gets very hot when I play this game. This has never happened before in the five years I’ve had the game.

### 3/5 — 動きが…

*2025-10-02, version 2.9.73*

今までサクサク動いていたのが、iOS26にした途端、動きが悪くなった。
次の日から直ったが、今度は広告が入ると動きが鈍くなります。

### 3/5 — No sound when playing

*2025-09-01, version 2.9.71*

I really enjoy the game minus the irritatingly long ads, however in recent weeks there has been ongoing issues with no sound during play. The clicks when merging tiles really adds to the fun and keeps the game interesting. Playing the game in silence is not the same and just a bore. Please fix this as I don’t want to have to quit.

### 3/5 — 暫停後再玩，原本的成績就沒了

*2025-07-28, version 2.9.69*

如果暫停不能保留原本的成績，那真的要玩到瞎了

### 2/5 — ハマるけど

*2025-05-17, version 2.9.69*

スマホが熱くなる！スコアいいところまでいってもスマホが熱くなりすぎて動きがバグってくるのでとても残念

### 3/5 — NOT AT ALL RELAXING!!

*2025-04-03, version 2.9.69*

This was my favorite game for years but the ads have ruined it. I would’ve gladly paid for a totally ad free version of the game but that isn’t an option. The ads are intrusive and totally interrupt the flow of the game. I loved this game because it was relaxing but now it just irritates me. Sorry to say goodbye to this game but it is not playable anymore.

### 3/5 — 一時停止はしちゃダメ

*2025-03-19, version 2.9.68*

一時停止して、広告も見終えた状態でアプリを離れているのに必ずバグります。最新ではなく、「いつの記録？」というよく分からないところから再開される。
中毒性があって面白いが再開出来ないのが残念。

### 3/5 — Super aber Basic + Bugs

*2025-02-22, version 2.9.67*

Hart, aber mit Übung sehr spaßig. Lieb‘s aber werde aufhören… Booster, Wettbewerbe und Prämien könnten es verbessern. Allerdings kann man die App nicht verlassen ohne mindestens 20.000 Punkte einzubüßen - wenn nicht sogar alle… Ich kann ja aber nicht über 3 Stunden am Stück spielen… Sehr frustrierend.

### 3/5 — Game freeze

*2024-12-06, version 2.9.66*

Game freezes at a certain point. Has medals on a track in the middle of the screen but then can’t continue playing.

### 4/5 — Awesome!!

*2024-12-06, version 2.9.66*

It might get to 55…

### 3/5 — Time passer

*2024-11-08, version 2.9.66*

I bought the no AD and got a new phone now it shows ads ugh game is cool and keeps you busy and mind active but I wish I didn’t have to repay for it now I’m stuck watching ads

### 3/5 — Fun and challenging but…

*2024-10-21, version 2.9.66*

This is my 100th time playing the game, running out of room, watching the ad to continue and then automatic loss. It wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t take 30 mins to get to the place where the game is a challenges. I wish I could start the duly challenges at 20.

### 3/5 — Annoying but addicting

*2024-10-19, version 2.9.66*

I swear this game has the longest freaking ads in the world. Sometimes the app will randomly open safari under same random link… pretty sketchy

### 1/5 — Paid but still watching ads

*2026-07-28, version 2.9.80*

Really enjoy the game, paid for ad free and having to watch frequent ads since getting a new phone. Even though it recognizes my name. Sent email on 6/29 and just received reply today. No help so far.

### 1/5 — 😡😡😡

*2026-07-03, version 2.9.78*

when numbers stick together game becomes unplayable 0/10 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

### 1/5 — Paid app has far too many adverts

*2026-03-28, version 2.9.74*

I paid for the app but you still have extremely long adverts during the game so I would not recommend paying for the game. There did not appear to be a link to contact for help within the app otherwise I would have asked for these to be removed or a refund. I’m hoping I get a response here.

### 1/5 — Love this game but it continually loses my score

*2026-01-10, version 2.9.74*

I’ve played this game for years on my iPhone. I really enjoy it. But at some point a few years ago, it began just forgetting my score whenever I pause the game and later resume. I’ve sent multiple requests to the developer politely asking if this could be fixed, but no response and no fix. If you don’t care about your score, then maybe get this game. If you do care, don’t buy it.

### 1/5 — CM

*2025-12-09, version 2.9.73*

何度問い合わせして、その通りにしても、1分30秒はCMが流れる（課金あり）

### 1/5 — 列が上がるのが早過ぎる

*2025-10-24, version 2.9.73*

クリアさせる気ないだろこのゴミゲー

### 1/5 — USED to be obsessed with this game

*2025-08-29, version 2.9.71*

I have been playing this game for YEARS and today i open the game up to completely no sound!! there’s nothing wrong with my phone as all my other games are working fine. I loved the clicking noise because it would help me with my anxiety while playing and now it’s just down right awful with no sound! please send an update!!

### 1/5 — なぜ課金して、広告まだでるんですか？

*2025-05-02, version 2.9.69*

とても楽しいのに、課金して広告消してやってるのに、それでも広告ばかりでるのが、何故でしょ？せっかくお金💰かけて課金してるし、なぜ、

### 1/5 — Paid — But Still Ads

*2025-04-18, version 2.9.69*

I paid for the game awhile ago. One day, the ads returned and it is prompting me to pay the $3.99 again. I’ve tried deleting and redownloading the game, losing all my game data in the process. Nothing has worked and now I have to continue sitting through the LONG ads.

### 1/5 — Ruins games by running ads with NO PAUSE IN GAMEPLAY

*2025-01-13, version 2.9.67*

When in the middle of a game, an ad blocking all visibility of gameplay will appear, without warning. That’s bad enough. But worse, blocks keep dropping during these seconds! So that when the ad finally stops, you return to a lost game.
I understand the ads pay the bills. But such poor execution is inexcusable. Deleted.

### 5/5 — 最高のゲーム

*2025-10-07*

小さい頃から大好きなゲームです、皆さん広告が広告が言っていますが個人的には気になりません、私が実際試したわけではないのですが機内モードにすると広告が消せるらしいので気になるなら試してみる価値ありです！
最初の方はスラスラとブロックを繋げれますが後半繋がってるブロックが出てきて考えながらやるのがたのしい......！
20のブロックを何回作れるか、何回も頑張りずっと遊んでいます（最大1プレイで4子作れました！）

### 5/5 — 35以上のモードを実装希望します。

*2025-06-20*

気付けばもう数年間遊び続けており、一番依存しているパズルゲームになっていると思います。
もう毎日挑戦の35、34は遊び尽くしてしまい、33以下では歯応えがなく満足できなくなってしまいました。
月一更新時も35が少ない月はテンションが下がります。
さらなるハードモードの実装、加えて言えばその難易度をいくらでも遊べるモードの実装を期待します。

### 5/5 — Higher please

*2024-11-02, version 2.9.66*

I already got to 35 make it go to 50 otherwise great game

### 5/5 — 광고가 나와요

*2024-10-17*

광고가 나오지 않는 ㅇㅇ을 구매했거든요. 폰을 교체하니까 광고가 나옵니다.

### 5/5 — Way too many adds

*2024-10-14, version 2.9.66*

I have to quit playing this game which would be extremely relaxing were it not for the ads that constantly pop up. They are a waste of time and very annoying.

### 5/5 — I like it so much🩷

*2024-07-30, version 2.9.64*

I love it so much that when it has a timer, it makes me go faster and I’m so proud of myself doing it at 20 so I made the highest. I love it so much, thank you for making the game 😁

### 5/5 — Ads came back

*2024-06-16, version 2.9.61*

I bought the ad free version a long time ago and I started playing the game again. When I lose a level and choose to play on, I have to watch ads again. Why did the ads come back without the option of restoring my purchases?

### 5/5 — Ads are hen I paid for the game- this was not the deal!

*2024-02-07, version 2.9.56*

Addictive game annoying ads which I paid not to have to deal with but all of a sudden they have sneaked them in

### 5/5 — Please remove ads

*2024-01-31, version 2.9.56*

Why do ads keep showing up? I paid before, why the ads so so so often?

### 5/5 — Drag n Merge Review

*2022-12-22, version 2.9.40*

Great game
