Once minor annoyance is if just run out of lives they only update every 30 mins. You can only have 5 maximum, this limits play if you are playing offline and cannot watch adverts ### 3/5 — Ruined by Ads *2026-08-20, version 1.28.0* Been playing this game for a while now, but the new update means there’s constant ads… if I don’t complete a level an ad pops up, it’s annoying enough you have to watch an ad between levels, but now with them being more frequent I’m thinking to just delete the app altogether. Development please, undo this or have less people generating money with the ads you do force between games. The addition of being able to watch an ad for extra 20 seconds on a level is cool. ### 2/5 — One of the few apps that gets worse with time. *2026-08-17, version 1.28.0* I really enjoyed this game, but since I’ve had it, it gets increasingly worse with each update. Bypassing the fact that they change the icon almost every time they update the app making it almost impossible to recognise. First they made it so it REQUIRED an internet connection, meaning I can no longer play it when commuting, as my trains go underground, and I could lose connection and be kicked out halfway through a level (still taking a life I might add). Then they upped the number of ads so you got one every time you won a level, instead of every few. Now they’ve upped it again to every time you attempt a level. Win, lose or restart part way through an attempt. My guess is that this is to try and encourage people to pay to go ad free, but once they took away the ability to play offline, that was never going to happen. I’ve tried other similar games to this, and they’ve been a noticeably poorer comparison, but they’re getting more and more tempting. ### 2/5 — Ad spam *2026-08-17, version 1.28.0* Honestly I think this game is super fun but recently it has been spamming ads. After ever single level no matter if you win or lose or if it’s only a minute boom add. It’s horrible honestly and it’s worse because you can’t just shut off your wifi and it costs $10 to shut them off. That’s just ridiculous. I’m really considering just deleting it. ### 3/5 — Too Many Adds *2026-08-17, version 1.28.0* Great game but too many adds. At least one a level. ### 4/5 — Love this game *2026-08-12, version 1.27.2* I truly wish there were more in game mini games to win power ups! Love this game ### 3/5 — Love the game, but too many ads, now *2026-08-10, version 1.27.2* Great game, with a mix of levels, some straightforward, others very challenging, which I love. I’ve been playing it for ages (2300 levels in). BUT, since last update, the number of ads has stepped up. Before the update, you chose to watch an ad to get extra coins after winning a level, or to get extra time/another life. But now, you’re forced to watch an ad after every level, which is v disappointing and has ruined what was one of the best games out there. ### 4/5 — Fun game- wish it had a reset option *2026-08-02, version 1.26.1* I like the game a lot but I wish there was a way to reset your progress. My kids played a few levels and I really want to go back and work through them myself and now I can’t. I tried deleting the game and redownloading it but nothing works. ### 3/5 — Please make the timer optional *2026-07-31, version 1.26.1* I like this game, a lot actually. Sometimes though, I’d like to just sit and relax and play a puzzle game, but it hard with all the levels being timed. I wish the timer was optional, sometimes I like the challenge, other times it’s infuriating and I end up deleting the game. ### 2/5 — Great concept but… *2026-07-31, version 1.26.1* This is a good puzzle game and I’m usually pretty good with this types of games however I find that the timer for these are just a little too short and the frequency for hard and very hard puzzles are too much. Especially when they’re back to back. If you slip up once or twice or the piece does not move immediately (sometimes it took 2 or 3 attempts to move a piece) it’ll cost you way too much time. With five lives, you can be done with a hard level in 5 minutes and then have to wait 2 hours to regain 5 lives unless you want to sit and watch ads after try or like others have said, buy things. Trying to string a number of wins is nearly impossible. ### 3/5 — Fun, but they sure want you to spend money! *2026-07-30, version 1.26.1* The game is fun, but like every third level is insanely hard to pass without the tools that you have to pay for. So I go days without playing bc I’m stuck on an impossible level that they CLEARLY want me to pay money to pass. ### 4/5 — lol *2026-07-23, version 1.26.0* just everything is too much coins lwk; wish things were j a little cheaper ### 5/5 — 챔피언스 토너먼트 그만 *2026-07-21* 챔피언스 토너먼트 그만하고 싶어요 새로운 레벨 깨고싶은데 챔피언스 토너먼트 할 때마다 레벨 초기화 되니까 질려요 ### 2/5 — Enough with sequential very hard levels *2026-07-20, version 1.26.0* This can be a fun game but it becomes more frustrating than fun after multiple sequential Hard or Very Hard levels. The frequency of an “easy” level is about 10% and easy is a relative term. ### 4/5 — Tolles Spiel, aber *2026-07-17* Wirklich tolles Spiel!! Aber einen Stern Abzug, weil ich wirklich gezwungen werde Werbung zu gucken. Das nervt. Und da die werbefreie Version 8€ kostet, kann ich sie mir nicht holen. 4 Euro hätten es auch getan ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cannot use on a plane. What’s the point? Really dislike the bridge and rope feature. *2026-08-29, version 1.28.1* Why does this need cell service to work. And 5g isn’t good enough. Downloaded for a flight and impossible to use. It needs strong WiFi or LTE cell. For a game? And the commercials are phobia inducing. Deleted. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Annoyingly *2026-08-23, version 1.28.1* You need to learn how to spell if you really need to attract more people to this game!!!!! Handle is the correct spelling NOT hadnel. ### 1/5 — Too much adds *2026-08-18, version 1.28.0* Adds are annoying ### 1/5 — Не обновляются сердца *2026-08-08* Постоянно зависает время обновления сердец. Пишет 0 сердец, осталось времени 00:00. Перезагружала игру, телефон, переустанавливала приложение - ничего не помогает. Скачаю лучше аналогичную игру от другого автора. ### 1/5 — Bait & Switch *2026-07-18, version 1.25.2* This game has nothing to do with finding people blending in with the environment. I'm fed up with the bait & switch ads where the game has nothing to do with their ad. They outlawed kids' commercials that did similar ads. It's time to outlaw these ads! ### 1/5 — Cannot use on a plane. What’s the point? Really dislike the bridge feature. *2026-07-11, version 1.25.2* Why does this need cell service to work. And 5g isn’t good enough. Downloaded for a flight and impossible to use. It needs strong WiFi or LTE cell. For a stupid game? And the commercials are phobia inducing. Deleted. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2026-07-05, version 1.24.2* Great game. Bought it but then realized have to buy other stuff to complete the puzzles. Rip off unless you want to keep paying! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-06-30, version 1.24.2* Like the game and just made the purchase to take away ads. There is a timer on this game and when you get to level 33. It’s impossible to win level without making more purchases: (more time, extra lives, more coins, etc…) I’m requesting a REFUND $8.65 for the removal purchase of ads and reported the problem to APPLE. I miss the good ol’ days when you could purchase a game & it was yours to keep forever. Another fun but DISAPPOINTING GAME. I deleted the game. ### 1/5 — Timer *2026-06-07, version 1.22.1* Says play with timer but it has a timer gets really aggravating with timer ### 1/5 — Used to be good now just money grabbing *2026-06-04, version 1.22.1* I have played this game for over a year i completed it and deleted it to start again. Around a month ago they changed all the games making them near enough impossible. Changed the coins to make it half the amount of extra time you get if you run out and have made the extra extremely expensive. You can’t play this game without spending a fortune anymore so don’t download it! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So much fun!! *2026-09-03, version 1.29.0* Great game to pass the time. I love it! It’s challenging but rewarding once you pass the levels ### 5/5 — 5+ *2026-08-28* Очень интересная головоломка! ### 5/5 — There r no easy levels! *2026-08-23* You are literally fighting to finish each level. This game is bloody annoying but fun at the same time. Gets your BP up! Plz give More booster collecting options. It’s exhausting playing this game. Time is always too less. No use with boosters too. I will now be deleting this game. BP is rising. I’m literally abusing while playing this game. Don’t wanna spoil my health. Not worth it. ### 5/5 — Игра класс, но виснет( *2026-08-23* Стала постоянно зависать, пожалуйста, поправьте! ### 5/5 — Grandmaw Linda *2026-08-21, version 1.28.1* Awesome ### 5/5 — PLEASE MOVE THE MAGNET BUTTON *2026-08-11, version 1.27.2* Please move the magnet button to a different part of the screen. It is way too easy to accidentally hit it where it is now. The place that it is on the preview screen in the App Store looks great. ### 5/5 — There r no easy levels! *2026-08-01* You are literally fighting to finish each level. This game is bloody annoying but fun at the same time. Gets your BP up! Plz give More booster collecting options. ### 5/5 — Yippee *2026-08-01, version 1.26.1* Good times were had by this guy ### 5/5 — Challenging and Fun *2026-07-29, version 1.26.1* I’m a player from Toronto Canada, and absolutely love this game. I have reached level 334 and have only had to use boosters twice. I’ve been reading all the reviews and I’m really surprised that people are frustrated with this game. It’s definitely not simple, and it is quite challenging… But it requires you to really think of things through and play it over and over again. I did find a YouTube video where a person plays. I must admit that I do get some tips from there to give me a free boost. :) I don’t use their moves step-by-step, but it gives me some ideas of tile movement that I may not have thought of before. I find it really challenging and it makes me think things through in a different way. I really like it. I’ve played almost every day for months and sometimes, yes, some hard levels to take one or two days to complete. Having five men to use at a time it’s good because it gives me some time to think things through and approaching from a different direction when I get back. I’ve only purchased tokens once and it was a crazy sale for about a dollar. My biggest advice for this is you don’t really need boosters, everything is doable within the time they give. You just have to figure out movements and be patient that sometimes you’re not going to get it in the first try. Happy Dropping Away!
