I like the no time tickets, but after awhile you raised the price, I wasn’t happy about it but you have to make some money! Then you go and completely change the extra helps, use to we could buy 3 at a time, raised the price and then charged me each time I used it! Now if I want to use my extra help I have to watch ads, I REFUSE TO, as much as I hate giving up my favorite game I WILL NOT BE FORCED INTO WATCHING ADS! That was a nasty dirty trick and I refuse, you will not get another dollar out of me nor will I EVER PLAY A GAME THAT MAKES ME WATCH AN AD I DONT WANT ### 3/5 — Beaucoup trop de pub *2026-08-04* Trop de pub et des bugs lors des chargements pour les passer **Developer response:** Cher Avis négatif, nous regrettons les publicités et les bugs de chargement. Nous travaillons à améliorer l'expérience et réduisons la fréquence des pubs. Vous pouvez supprimer les pubs avec notre option "No Ads". Merci pour votre soutien ! ### 3/5 — Constant Crash *2026-08-02, version 8.6* Fun but constantly crash ### 3/5 — Ads *2026-07-27, version 8.5* Previously you had to watch an ad after you had played a level now you have to watch it before so it makes it at least 20 to 30 seconds wait for each level, it also got really glitchy, constantly freezing my entire phone so I just don’t play it anymore. ### 3/5 — Used to be fun, now just frustrating. *2026-07-26, version 8.5* I used to love playing this game, but there are far too many "obstacles" to overcome during the levels that it's nearly impossible to complete them without watching a bunch of ads. From being forced to watch an ad to get more time to complete a level or needing a second chance if things get overcooked or if you run out of moves on a grill and the annoyance of the tentacle things forcing you to use boosters, it's just become super frustrating and not an enjoyable gameplay experience anymore. ### 2/5 — 固まる *2026-07-26* アプリ自体は楽しくやっていましたが、突然固まるようになりクリアすることが出来なくなりました。一時停止等もできず強制終了しかできません。ステージ開始直後にフリーズすることもあれば、後少しでクリアというところでフリーズしてしまうこともありイライラしてしまいます。 **Developer response:** ゆんゆん02様、ご不便をおかけして申し訳ございません。再起動やキャッシュクリアをお試しください。開発チームが対応中です。ご理解とご協力をお願いいたします。 ### 2/5 — Freezing *2026-07-24, version 8.5* It would have damn near a 5 if it wasn’t for this app freezing up and glitching. Mainly seems to do it when I use my bonuses to help me with the level…how convenient. Fix the glitches. ### 2/5 — Выкидывает из игры ,откидывает пройденные уровни *2026-07-22* Зависает **Developer response:** Уважаемый darkside2007, приносим извинения за неудобства. Попробуйте перезагрузить или очистить кэш приложения. Наша команда разработчиков активно работает над исправлением этой проблемы. support@sonat.vn ### 3/5 — Faster Timer *2026-07-20, version 8.5* I haven’t purchased coins inside of the game in 10+ years that I remember. Now that I’m thinking about it, I think I MIGHT have purchased 2.99 worth of coins on this game a few months ago, but I can’t remember . N e way, I liked this game so much that I decided to purchase $10.99 worth of coins on whatever little sale they were having today. I have noticed that the timer moves quicker now and to continue takes so many coins that 6000 is not even worth it! After my time runs out, I don’t have the choice to watch videos for more time like I did in the mobile app (this is on my iPad) nor do they give me the option to do that after I miss getting a chef food. I have to spend a lot of coins because I missed that timer, then I have to spend coins to purchase a freeze time, then I have to spend coins to continue the game! All of this happened multiple times within one . I KNOW it’s b/c the timer is so much quicker! I know the developers need to make money, but this is just unfair at this point. ### 2/5 — Issues *2026-07-20, version 8.5* It freezes and then it freezes my phone. And then when I’m able to get back into the app, it twitches and is stuck ### 2/5 — 運要素は要らない *2026-07-08* 楽しくプレイしてましたご500を越えると自力ではほぼクリア不可能なことが増えたので入れ直しました。 今度は300を越えて難易度が上がったのでまた入れ直し。現在三度目の300越えです。 自力クリアを不可能にするオクトパスが最近出て来ません。無くなったのかな？嬉しい。 と思っていたらステージ298以降またオクトパスが出るようになりました！！ 揃える物があったのにそこが動かないように邪魔されて頻繁に詰みます。 めっちゃくちゃストレスだしホントーーに要らない要素でなので速やかに消してほしい！！！💢💢（26.07） 良くなった点 動画を見ての延長→30秒、30秒、60秒だったのが、初回から45秒に延長されました。大きな改善です。 動くステージの割合が増えると嬉しいけど、動かないのが好きな人も居るのでしょうから難しいのかな。（26.05） **Developer response:** レビューありがとうございます！レベルの難易度や広告時間について、ご意見を参考に改善を検討します。念のため、最新バージョンにアップデートしてみてください。ご不明な点があれば、support@sonat.vnまでご連絡ください。 ### 3/5 — I love this game but… *2026-07-07, version 8.3* I’m on level 509 and it is getting impossible to advance. There is absolutely no way to make 60 matches in 1 minute. And that’s the way it has been for a while now. I use all my power ups and extra time to complete levels. I am even wiling to spend money on games I love, but this is just getting annoying. I’m playing less and less because the levels are impossible to win without spending money and it’s starting to feel like the levels are designed to be impossible so that you will spend money. That ticks me off. I love a hard level but not an impossible one. ### 2/5 — Плохо *2026-07-04* Пропадают бустеры, вечно виснет турнир, не открывает команды. **Developer response:** Здравствуйте, ЕКатеринажжж! Приносим извинения за неудобства. Пожалуйста, попробуйте перезапустить игру. Для более детального анализа, отправьте информацию о проблеме на support@sonat.vn. Спасибо за обратную связь! ### 3/5 — Great but glitching *2026-06-27, version 8.2* I would give it a 5 star if it wasn’t for the MAJOR glitches in the app right now. Recently while playing it’s started freezing up mid game causing me to have to exit the app completely. ### 3/5 — Didn’t receive what I paid for. *2026-06-24, version 8.2* This was a great game but I paid $14.99 for six hours and other rewards and received nothing. Very disappointing. ### 2/5 — Баги *2026-06-22* Если бы не зависание от которых игра вообще не фурычит это была бы луяшая игра из подобных **Developer response:** Здравствуйте, 👩😽👺👺👺! Нам очень жаль, что у вас возникли проблемы с зависаниями. Мы обязательно рассмотрим эту проблему. Попробуйте перезапустить игру. Для более детального описания, пожалуйста, напишите нам на support@sonat.vn. ### 3/5 — Game Freezes *2026-06-15, version 8.1* I love the game but I gave it a 3 because it freezes too much. It freezes my entire phone and it does it after I’ve use every time I use my boosters I win. It’s getting to the point where I want to uninstall this game. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-06-06, version 8.1* Why do you have to use your coins to keep playing??? Just a scam ### 3/5 — I love it, but… *2026-06-05, version 8.0* I love playing the game, it’s very satisfying…but the ads are constant. I close it often because every 10 seconds I’m sitting through 2 videos and 3 countdowns. It’s really annoying. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Freezes *2026-08-04, version 8.6* This game freezes all the time. Right in the middle of playing. Can’t get past it for days ### 1/5 — This game sucks *2026-08-01, version 8.6* You can’t even get through a phase without watching a million ads ### 1/5 — Freezes all the time! *2026-07-24, version 8.5* I used to love this game but now it freezes and I lose all my power ups because of it! ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2026-07-18, version 8.5* Really like this game had a glitch redownloaded all my progress is lost and I spend money so I’ll be deleting this game unfortunately **they give you instructions to get ur progress back and that don’t work I’ve started this game I’ve three times and lost all progress I even texted the Facebook group and nothing helps so. Itfair when spending money Too many glitches with the app. I'll be on one level and pass it then I can't move to the next level cause it's glitching and now I have to do that level all over again. Then the screen goes blank I go in and out the app and it still a blank screen. So I be like I'm done for the day or I have to power off my phone to get back in the game and once again start that level all over again. The very 1st time I started to have these issues, i tried to do the troubleshooting steps that didn't work. So i deleted the app and reinstalled it and guess what. I had to start ALL THE WAY FROM LEVEL 1 when I was already on level 418 I spent a lots of money to advance to some of those levels and now here I am starting all over again. I sent an email and never heard back from anyone. Very disappointing and frustrating. Not happy at all especially when I spent money and then at the end I had to start all over. I should receive a refund!!! When I buy a pass for 18.00 they never give me the pass I contact Apple and they won’t give me my money back they are stealing from people and it makes me sad because I really love playing this game ! ### 1/5 — Werbefalle, nicht empfehlenswert. *2026-07-12* Update Juli 2026: Rezension muss nach unten korrigiert werden. Diese Werbepausen sind eine Unverschämtheit! Alle 15 Sekunden, weil das Level sonst per Bombe etc. beendet wird. Und die Werbung läuft dann gnadenlos bis zum Ende. Keine Chance diese zu überspringen, wie es bei anderen Spielen möglich ist. Es ist einfach nur noch ärgerlich. Ich lösche das Ganze jetzt. Gibt andere Spiele, die spielenswert sind und einen nicht so nerven. Weg damit! Nach letztem Update wird mitten im Spiel eine Info gegeben, dass man nur noch mit einer Hilfe weiterspielen kann, weil keine Züge mehr möglich sind. Man wird also gezwungen Hilfsmittel zu verschwenden obwohl noch andere Züge möglich sind. Das ist unmöglich!!! Bitte ändern Sie das. **Developer response:** Liebe/r Pijowhi, es tut uns leid, dass du Probleme hast! Wir untersuchen den Absturz nach dem Board-Clear. Starte bitte testweise das Spiel neu. Detaillierte Infos an support@sonat.vn helfen uns weiter. Danke! ### 1/5 — Love the game but it keeps freezing up! *2026-07-08, version 8.3* I followed recommendations from support / deleted apps etc - closed and reopen and problem continues. I wasted so much money trying to beat a level and it would freeze up and make me start all over again. Just started in the last month. Been playing for several months. ### 1/5 — Ads ruined your game *2026-07-03, version 8.3* Used to really love this game until they started adding ads to it - you need to watch an add before even starting the game watch an ad after you’ve finished your game - it makes my phone freeze now - freezes after watching the ad Very disappointing… wouldn’t recommend ### 1/5 — Too many ads. Don’t get it. *2026-06-19, version 8.1* This was my favorite game. Now ads play as soon as you turn it on. I’m out. ### 1/5 — Freezing Up *2026-06-15, version 8.1* I’m spending money on the game & it freezes up mid game & I lose the coins I spent ### 1/5 — Glitches *2026-06-09, version 8.1* Since Saturday, the game has been crashing and I keep losing lives. Not worth it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Loads of fun *2026-08-22, version 8.7* Very colorful and endless fun ### 5/5 — Addicting *2026-05-27, version 7.9* Love the game, but I’m almost to level 5000…it always shows easy levels, never get the rewards of a difficult level even though they are. Freeze’s often and have to play the same level over and over. I have loved it up until the last couple days. ### 5/5 — Не работает *2026-05-12* После обновления игра перестала загружаться **Developer response:** Здравствуйте, чеснокова юлия! Приносим извинения за неудобства. Попробуйте перезагрузить устройство или очистить кэш приложения. Разработчики уже работают над исправлением.
