The ads show unlimited play and no levels. But when u play the game it requires you to complete levels. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-09-05, version 1.27.16* 4-5 ads per level is too much. Shouldn’t take 20 minutes for each level just to sit through ads. Got old after about 7 levels. Deleted expeditiously. ### 3/5 — Fun too many ads *2026-09-03, version 1.27.16* It fun and all way to many ads. Like every 5-10min another ad gonna pop out. Also a few bug after placing the super tile ( the construction) like it won’t give me the star that are connected together. For example the super tile I just finish a town tile and I’m placing another town it not giving the reward of connecting then and it not connecting anything else sooooo small little bug. Hopefully that fix it ### 4/5 — Relaxing! *2026-09-02, version 1.27.16* I love this game and paid to remove ads which makes it relaxing to play. Two updates I’d love to see: a building mode where you can choose the tiles to make the landscape how you like (to make it look pretty) and new landscape types! I’d love to see Brazil/South America, Africa, Central America, Canada, Mediterranean (not just Greece), and maybe some fantasy like Atlantis or Outer Space. ### 3/5 — Fun… but come on. *2026-08-31, version 1.27.16* The game a cute and beautiful…. My only complaint is that this game really Really pushes you to buy the “ads free bundle” for 4.99.. which is crazy. 1.99 yes plz. Worth it. The first 4 hours of having the game maybe 1 or 2 ads the whole time. But I’ve only played this game 4 times since and I can only play 3 tiles before I get an interruption about the “no ads bundle”… or have a really Long ad to watch for something cool to collect.. let just say; for the longer levels i would play I could see up to <20> ads before the level was done.. crazy, wild… I’m only on level 5!!! I like that the game “pays” for the ads you choose to watch. But a 300 sec vid is a bit over kill. ### 3/5 — When ads keep popping up it’s gameplay too. *2026-08-31, version 1.27.16* It’s a fun game, but there are just too many ads. Ads between levels and ads for in-game boosts and similar work. But offering me a unique tile and making me watch an ad when I’ve turned it down? That’s too much. And ironically, that extra ad annoyed me enough to decide against paying for no ads. ### 4/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-31, version 1.27.16* Love the game but way too many ads. It’s like every few moves you have an ad. ### 2/5 — 60 second ads just to play the game *2026-08-31, version 1.27.16* the game seems like fun, but when i’m spending more time watching ads than i am playing the game it’s excessive. i hate to say it but unless they come up with a better ad strategy, it’s nearly adware. ### 4/5 — Good game, could use upgrades *2026-08-30, version 1.27.16* I agree that I’d love a creative mode option! I would also appreciate if I could save and pause the level I’m working on because I don’t always have time to do a whole level. ### 2/5 — You will be hounded for money at every possible moment *2026-08-30, version 1.27.16* I like this game. It’s like a version of Carcassonne I can play on mobile. But, these creators decided that money was more important than a game that can actually be played through— You cannot get all of the unlockables without spending over fifty US dollars on in-game “packs.” The coins you earn in-game have no in-game value. After you have watched enough ads to unlock the free tiles, all of the rare tiles become completely locked behind a pay wall. The “common chest” that you pay 45,000 coins to open ten of? It suddenly will have a 100% drop rate for 50 coins. So the chest becomes a “throw away your coins” button. Every time you open the app, you will be prompted to buy both the starter pack, and the pack for the map you are on. Then you will be prompted to go to their store with a discount. Only after leaving their in-game store can you actually play. And I’m only able to at that point because I paid for ad-free. It’s what would be a great game. But these devs are greedy: they have made a game so poorly that you have to throw money at it— This game is not worth $50. I promise it’s not free. ### 2/5 — No pencil support *2026-08-29, version 1.27.16* Needs to support pencil ### 4/5 — Good enough *2026-08-25, version 1.27.16* Really needs an infinite mode ### 4/5 — Great game *2026-08-24, version 1.27.16* Love it but please add a endless mode were you can choose a tile and place it and you can save it ### 2/5 — Not overly impressed *2026-08-20, version 1.27.16* Not bad game but unless you pay for ads free pack its ads every 10 seconds it’s really annoying because your mid game and then ad comes up not impressed that you have to pay for ad removal ### 3/5 — Fun *2026-08-20, version 1.27.16* So it is a fun relaxing game until you get an add every forty seconds, and then other forty seconds just to get out of the add, I get you need to use adds just not every second, makes me wanna delete the game ### 4/5 — Fun but ads kill it *2026-08-20, version 1.27.16* This game is pretty fun but the forced ads while playing really kill the experience of this game. There are so many forced ads that it really makes me contemplate deleting it. I can get the ads for power ups but forced ads every few turns is extremely annoying and makes the game not fun. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — To many ads *2026-09-06, version 1.27.16* I am on level 3 I have played for maybe 5 min and their is a 45 second long ad in the middle of a level right after an ad between levels. I understand ads but this is just to many. ### 1/5 — Great game, unfortunately ruined by ads *2026-09-03, version 1.27.16* Great game concept, I was having fun. Yes you don’t need certain items and can watch adds to get them but that’s not why I’m making a review. I was just playing the game, click a tile to place and bahm an advertisement starts playing. Like really guys ### 1/5 — Ads wont close *2026-09-01, version 1.27.16* Ads close x are small they wont close and opens browsers. Costs me 1450 in coins. there is no way to save game progress. ### 1/5 — Too many ads just to get through the 3rd level *2026-08-31, version 1.27.16* To say that this “game” has too many ads is an understatement. I couldn’t even get past level 3 from the barrage of broken ads. ### 1/5 — Still getting ads after no ads purchase. *2026-08-29, version 1.27.16* Still getting ads after no ads purchase. The non stop bombardment of ads even after purchasing the no ad option ruins the game. Update: devs won’t address my concerns and won’t return my emails. ### 1/5 — Ad heavy even after buying the ad free version *2026-08-25, version 1.27.16* Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2026-08-24, version 1.27.16* This game would be awesome and relaxing if it wasn’t for the ads. Completely unplayable with frequency. Deleted it after 2 hours. 1 of those hours was spent watching ads. Disgusting. ### 1/5 — SANDBOX/CREATIVE/INFINITE/OPEN-WORLD MODE *2026-08-21, version 1.27.16* It’s just the title, man just add it ### 1/5 — “No ads” option is misleading *2026-08-18, version 1.27.16* Purchased the “No Ads” option but ads are still required for certain parts of gameplay and more pop ups for additional in-app purchases occur. ### 1/5 — Way too pushy *2026-08-16, version 1.27.16* It opens a tab in your browser every two seconds even when your phone is on airplane mode. The gameplay is okay when it actually lets you play it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — nice game *2026-09-04, version 1.27.16* nice game but it gets boring after a while though, i can imagine zoning out playing this when i have nothing to do though. ### 5/5 — Cozy Relaxing Puzzle Game *2026-09-02, version 1.27.16* I love this game so much. I have been playing it for more than a year. I remember when you could buy the bulldozer with coins instead. Since I've been playing for so long it does get a little repetitive but still a lot of fun. Just wishing for more countries to be added! ### 5/5 — No ads *2026-08-31, version 1.27.16* This is so fun and there’s no ads you just have to place the tiles switch them around and you make an island. It is so fun. ### 5/5 — SANDBOX MODE *2026-08-27, version 1.27.16* My favorite game for over a year now, it is so much fun. I bought the ad free version right away and love the game so much. But we really need a sandbox mode! I wish we could just build infinitely because I love making the area look awesome but then it’s another level. And I also wish that there was another upgrade for the buildings hight and look. ### 5/5 — Finally a genuine game on the App Store *2026-08-20, version 1.27.16* I downloaded this a few days ago and got instantly addicted, I love how satisfying it is to build little islands and match all the tiles together, honestly one of my favourite games on mobile. would love if there was a ‘free play’ kind of game mode, where the player can keep building things forever as long as they’d like, but that’s just me. Absolutely love this game, amazing work 100/10 ### 5/5 — Please make this change *2026-08-17, version 1.27.16* Please allow us to save and view our finished levels! When you complete a level, everything dims. I really like this game. ### 5/5 — Play all the time *2026-08-16, version 1.27.16* With the no ad pass and and an ad blocker. I’m over level 300 👍 ### 5/5 — AMAZING 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 *2026-08-16, version 1.27.16* This game is super duper fun I love it you get to build land and I gotta say not many ads at all I love it I love it I love it I love it ### 5/5 — Best game *2026-08-11, version 1.27.16* Favorite game to play on the road and at home. Photos are out dated and look a lot better in game but aggressive on the ads. Would love to see more of it ### 5/5 — Peaceful AF *2026-08-08, version 1.27.16* I catch myself re-downloading this app for my long boring days in the office or even for long travels. It is definitely worth a download and I wish they expanded this game a bit more to explore more maps and locations I LOVE this app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
