Would have had 5 stars. *2023-01-22, version 3.4* Enjoy this game at first then ads started every 2-3 levels. So annoying. ### 3/5 — Last update was 3 years ago??? *2022-05-19, version 3.4* Why is it so outdated. Doesn’t even fill my whole phone screen. ### 2/5 — Too many ads killed it *2022-03-17, version 3.4* This was such a good game but now having to sit through 45 seconds worth of ads every few attempts is too much. Can’t trust any game now. ### 3/5 — More levels *2021-07-07, version 3.4* I guess the developers have lost interest in this game. ### 2/5 — Force to spend *2020-02-27, version 3.4* Levels that are impossible without assists that are limited. Then lives and new assists are a cost that will never end. ### 2/5 — Audio buggy *2019-12-29, version 3.4* I prefer to listen to my own music and audio books in the background while playing but for some reason at the end of a round, my music automatically shuts off when the points screen appears. I have to restart it each time and it’s annoying. ### 3/5 — My childhood *2019-10-05, version 3.4* I remember playing this game when I was a child and know I’m just surprised that the game is still up after years have passed I do miss the old version where it didn’t have all of this extra stuff for the nostalgia but this is low key worse then when I played it as a child cause when I sued it when I was a child it was so fun and addicting and it isn’t no more ### 4/5 — More *2019-09-19, version 3.4* Bought coins and didn’t realize I only had a few levels left. Need an update ASAP. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2019-03-13, version 3.4* The whole reason I used to love this game was because of the glass breaking sound... I re-downloaded it for some nostalgia and the audio doesn’t even work. Maybe that’s a good thing after reading the other reviews. ### 4/5 — It’s challenging *2019-03-12, version 3.4* I love the game it’s challenging! I can do without the ads. I’m sure we all agree on this ### 3/5 — FIX THE FREEZE!!! PLEASE! *2019-01-27, version 3.2* This would be an awesome game but the whole game is frozen and won’t continue. Apparently several people are having this issue ### 1/5 — Maybe fun again *2018-12-19, version 3.2* This app is not as thrilling when i first discovered years ago. The ads my goodness, really a game crushing experience. I will say the towers are challenging. Redesign the game for more experiences along ones path. Thanks ### 1/5 — More ads than gameplay *2018-12-18, version 3.2* Too many ads to what used to be a wonderful game. Give us the option to pay to not have ads! ### 1/5 — Too many glitches *2018-11-29, version 3.2* Every time I open this game I have to click on the level I’m at like a thousand times for that level to open. I love this game but it never starts up. Disappointing ### 1/5 — No fun anymore *2018-11-18, version 3.2* This was a really good game when it first came out But now with the newer version every time you finish one level you stick in an ad It’s very annoying to say the least!! Then you say I have 15 lives and it only shows 3 You don’t deserve even one star !!😡😖☹️👎 ### 3/5 — Great game but the ads are maddening! *2018-11-15, version 3.2* I started playing this game years ago. It was a beautifully elegant game that drew me in for hours. I hadn’t played for a couple of years, and just came back a couple of weeks ago. What a disappointment, while the glass breaking interfaces are still lovely, there is an ad between each level. I don’t have time to deal with them, so I’ll probably move on to something else unless the developers start offering a no ads version. ### 2/5 — Fun game, but some flaws... *2018-09-30, version 3.2* This game is really fun, but there are some things about it that are bad. In the game, you have to basically try not to make the red blocks break. One thing that I hate about it is that if you run out of lives, you have to wait 30 minutes until they restore again. Another bad thing is that sometimes it cheats. For instance, let’s say I have 10 lives and I break one of the red ones. It will tell me that I have 8 lives left instead of 9. 10-1=9 so I don’t know why it gives me 8. The only reason why I put this game as 2 stars is because even with all of these flaws, it is still a pretty fun and challenging game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New version no good! *2023-09-16* I had paid for the glass tower 2 app years ago. I tried to reinstall it but it is gone, obsolete; replaced by Glass Tower World. I tried it but apparently any earlier purchases are not valid anymore, meaning lots of ads you cannot avoid; or even skip! Plus the game is simply not as good as the previous versions. I was ripped off. ### 1/5 — Please remove the lives system *2023-05-07* This game is a calming and fun game except for the fact the levels are so hard. I would be ok with this because I like puzzle games, but this one gives you a certain amount of lives and if you use them up you have to wait an hour for more. This makes the game unenjoyable. ### 1/5 — The ads on this app are HORRIBLE *2022-08-22, version 3.4* I deleted it after two days because it was unusable / unplayable. The length of the ads are ridiculous and the exit buttons are nearly illegible… I used to LOVE this game and played it all the time and recently re-downloaded it — but never again. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2021-05-28, version 3.4* It’s a shame that the author of this game chose to insert so many ads into this game. It averages 1 ad every 3 or so levels of play. And they are ads for stupid games, no one in their right mind would ever download. Also, can’t be sure, but I think I caught the app reading my clipboard, avoid this app! ### 1/5 — So disappointed *2020-04-02, version 3.4* I used to love this game, but now it’s ads (that freeze) and the loss of some other features that made me come back. I would be happy to pay for a version without ads. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-11-10, version 3.4* This makes your phone do things you don’t want it to! Sound plays with ads even with your switch turned to silent. This is in direct violation to what you want your phone to do. Apple should not allow apps like this in the App Store. App is deleted. I will not use apps that use these horrible tactics. ### 1/5 — 15 minute wait? WHY? *2019-10-31, version 3.4* If you run out of lives you have to pay money for new ones or wait 15 minutes to restart. Why not just sell the app? A business plan made by someone who doesn’t know the words “user experience”. Too bad. Great game gone dumb. ### 1/5 — Thus version STINKS‼️‼️ *2019-07-07, version 3.4* I agree wholeheartedly with the MANY negative reviews that reference the OLD Glass Tower and Glass Tower2. Loved them! This is awful! HATE the little 15 ❤️ “lives” that kick you out for an hour. AND HATE all of the RIDICULOUS number of ads! Might could tolerate some (not THIS MANY ) ads if you could just play, but the 15 lives+1 hour wait... NOT WORTH IT‼️ You have RUINED what once was an enjoyable game. ### 1/5 — Greedy developer *2019-06-23, version 3.4* Annoying ads, and forced timeouts to sell you coins. The previous version - that I had purchased - is not supported on new iOS on purpose to let you spend money on this one. Thanks but no thanks. ### 1/5 — At least let me play *2019-03-25, version 3.4* 2 rounds before the loud, obnoxious ads start (even when I have the game sounds & music turned off). Like another reviewer, I had this game years ago. It was my favorite. But the ads are simply too much. I do realize this is a “free” game. But my sanity isn’t worth it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-07-10, version 3.4* This is such a cool logic game. It gives so much fun for free. Download this game - U will not regret it. Level 14 was so hard! I had 2 make the red blocks fall to the left instead of straight down. I will never delete this. BEST GAME EVER!!!!! ### 5/5 — Need more Lives! *2022-04-04, version 3.4* Love the game, play it often, but it takes too long to receive the lives. ### 5/5 — Good game *2020-03-03, version 3.4* Original versions were better without ads buts still good ### 5/5 — THIS GAME IS AWSOME *2017-12-14, version 3.1* by the way I completed all levels when are u goin to add more.
