Unplayable short of paying AAA subscription prices. Games like this ruin mobile gaming. ### 1/5 — Adds as usual *2024-01-01, version 1.9* To many adds for such a easy game don’t bother no skill needed far to easy for the amount of adds ### 1/5 — Incredibly annoying *2023-12-27, version 1.9* I can’t even begin to express how awful this mess is. Advertisements for the game show one thing and the reality is vastly different. ### 1/5 — Adds *2023-11-23* Uninstalled within 5 min because of so frequent adds. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review. We care about what you think. Although we tried to implement ads in a non-intrusive way, we are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy as much as we wanted you to. We will do our best. We kindly remind our players who want to remove ads, there is an offer for this. ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-11-22* Tooooooo many ADs please don’t download **Developer response:** Thanks for the review.

The one shark needed friends. The circular island patterns have disappeared. It just needs to be much more animated and it would be a five star. ### 2/5 — Paid for no ads BUT they still plague me! *2023-09-14, version 1.5.9* I love the game. It’s the only one I have EVER paid to have ads removed but I feel like I’ve been duped! 😡 After EVERY game I’m still forced to endure ads! It’s infuriating. What is this? A con? Someone benefitted from me paying to have ads removed but they weren’t! ### 1/5 — Still get ads *2023-08-28, version 1.5.9* Paid for no ads and yet I still get them ### 1/5 — Possible scam *2023-08-23* I paid for no ads because i found this game enjoyable. I understand that you still have to watch ads for extra things but I’m back to having ads between games. It would be nice to either have the ads removed or a refund issued but I doubt that either will happen. I’ll be stunned if this even gets a response. **Developer response:** We are sorry that your experience did not meet our expectations. Could you please provide us with details of the issue via email?

This means I get one play and have to watch commercials? Too many games out there that doesn’t do this so I will stick with them. ### 1/5 — Ads when you pay for no ads *2023-07-15* I really love the game, have played it a few weeks and it is frequently my first choice. It is actually a perfect mind relaxing game. However-the ADS! Good grief! I paid for no ads, but there are still ads. It is also glitchy where what you tap is not what selects/moves. That is super frustrating when to start the level over after the game glitches and you have to watch an ad even though you paid for no ads. I actually paid for no ads twice- alone and with a bundle. I was supposed to get an assorted bundle but instead received only islands. Then when it said I had 1 island left (that I paid for!) I had to watch an ad to use it. I am deleting it. It is too frustrating to play. Could really be great so I am very disappointed. **Developer response:** We are sorry that your experience did not meet our expectations.

It doesn’t work. You will get to the point where it is unsolvable and the only escape is to watch ad after ad. Don’t waste your money. The developers are thieves. ### 1/5 — Ads *2024-11-14, version 2.0.3* I don’t know if I’ve ever seen ads worse than this game. I downloaded it, opened - was about 2 seconds into my very first game and got an ad. So.many.ads. Deleted after 5 mins. ### 1/5 — Overzealous Ads *2024-10-27* It’s kinda customary to let people play the first few learning levels before you bombard them with ads. In this game, the first ad is immediately as you complete level one, before you even see the results. Same w level two. Third ad was five seconds INTO level three. That’s just annoying. Deleted immediately. ### 1/5 — Now I have to PAY *2024-09-26, version 2.0.3* I have played this game for a long time and suddenly it’s a “brain game”?? OMG are you kidding me? I see the new development but this was a favorite of mine and I was a dedicated fan until I started playing REAL blame games. What a disappointment. Bye 👋 ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2024-08-16* Too many ads ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2024-06-23, version 2.0.3* If you wanna watch a ridiculous amount of ads then this is the game for you. Literally more time spent watching ads than playing. If I could give negative starts I would ### 1/5 — Way too many ADs. Uninstalled in 5 mins *2024-06-02* I was frustrated by the number of video ads shown in the game. Just complete 1 level and then a 30-45 second video AD shows up. They also have AD banner showing at the bottom. I am ok with seeing ADs while playing a game but showing it for every stage complete is a total pain. Uninstalled the game in 5 mins after playing. DO NOT RECOMMEND THE GAME. ### 1/5 — Uninstalled after first level *2024-04-22, version 2.0.3* I uninstalled after the first level where you tap your finger twice to complete the level…. Then the ads pop up. I am sure the levels get fun, but this is obviously a very ad-heavy game so no thanks. ### 1/5 — Propagandas *2024-04-11* Estou deletando o APP. Devido. A não terminar uma fase e já ter outra propaganda ### 1/5 — No interesting *2024-04-10, version 2.0.3* Very bad. After every level , need ADVERTISING. Seriously??? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awful background Color *2023-06-22* I found this game very relaxing until tonight. I logged in and someone thought a light pink background was a good idea with light colors. It’s now awful to try the one row of white. Please give us the ability to change the background or set it back to the shark one. ### 5/5 — Game *2023-06-02, version 1.3.4* Love it ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2023-05-12, version 1.3.4* Great game fun ### 5/5 — Black ground *2023-04-28* I am at level 110 and to use one of the square you have to click and play a video. I click at the video and i see only black ground wait couple of minutes and nothing change still black ground and you can’t click the x to closed because you can’t see anything ### 5/5 — Fun *2022-09-23* Love this game, but ads are so long, and "every time" there is some issue returning to the game; often have to close it out and restart! **Developer response:** Could you please inform us more specifically about your reviews regarding the game via info@matchingham.gs ? Thus we can improve our game for more fun! ### 5/5 — Great *2022-07-14, version 1.1.38* Great ### 4/5 — No ad options for 2 days *2023-11-17, version 1.8* I usually watch an add for undos and for 2 days I can’t use any of the ad options. ### 4/5 — Way Too Many Ads *2023-08-02* This is a really fun game. I bought the ad free version, but it turns that the ad free applies only between the levels. I’m in the harder levels now, and I don’t always solve the puzzle on the first, second or third attempt. I spend more time watching ads to restart the level or to use the undo feature than I do playing the game. Of all the games I have purchased and played, this one is by far the biggest rip off of all time. **Developer response:** We are sorry that your experience did not meet our expectations.

More! *2023-06-22* I love love love this game except at 250 islands. Now my giant shark is gone and so are the varying island challenges. It’s just the same thing over and over and I’m sad because it’s my favorite game. Please bring back the ocean and the shark with some buddies for him and different island challenges it’s just the same two lines facing each other, and I’m getting bored help me!! ☺️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
