100% recommend just like Puyo Puyo

Optimistic

So I downloaded it because I remember the Doctor robotnik version I played as a child via Sega although this one is similar, I do miss the option to play with a friend and I really need better sound effects for bricks dropping other than that is not too bad. I’m on level six for what seems like forever but I don’t like is I’ll turn it and it’ll turn the same way except for when I needed to seems like the computer has a mind of his own against me even on my handle when I’m flipping my beans around please update

legally distinct from puyo puyo

genuinely a good alternative to puyo. it’s a bit rough, sure. but i feel that compliments it in way. the same song plays for every single level. its alright, albeit unfitting, but it really does put me in the magic bean mood.

Absolutely Incredible

Without a doubt the best game I've ever played. It's so chaining

I like this game

Magic beans are used to play in a gravity Tetris type of game. They can be placed to form chain reactions to beat your foe or beat the level you are attempting to win. I think this game deserves more love than it is getting. I think this game is amusing and entertaining and decently made

So bad it’s good

This is one of the worst quality apps I’ve ever downloaded, but it’s so bad that it has its own charm. Extra star just because of that .

Good, could be great

Really nice to have puyo puyo on my iPad with the simple solo option. The ā€œLevel Targetsā€ however, are either broken or need to be explained better. I’ve cleared beans of a certain colour multiple times only for the target to stay the same. When it finally did decrease, I had no idea what I had done differently. This needs fixing or clarification.

Not great, but could be much worse

This is a half-decent puyo puyo clone. Not great by any means, but it’s serviceable. Levels seem to end kind of at random and proclaim ā€œall clearā€ even when that’s not the case, lol.

Good

It is just like Puyo Puyo but free so it is good.

i saw Shiroma play it.

I saw Shiroma play puyo puyo, so i wanted to play it, it’s definitely bad, but as a knockoff, it’s decent.

Schezo fan plays phone puyo puyo because she doesn’t have apple arcade

The comet’s light that shines in the darkness…be my desire!!

I love magic bean iPhone game

Well…what can I say. Magic bean has changed my life. Before magic bean my heart was cold and empty but now it is filled with magic bean iPhone game. Everyone else in the reviews are jealous snobs who expect the most out of everything and cannot experience the simple happiness of magic bean iPhone game. Thank you…my creek is covered in tears of joy

Unpolished but in a refreshing way.

I am on level seven of what seems like seven quadrillion levels. The music has been the same for every level so far, the song is something like thirty seconds long. The song is insane. It isn’t annoying at all, it’s just so absurd and I literally laugh out loud as I’m playing the game because of it. It’s the perfect song for the game. I’m really not being facetious at all.

The pause menu… has no button to return to the main menu. Just a button that says ā€œexitā€ which, when pressed, exits the app. And it doesn’t even bother me, I think it’s so charming.

Other people have mentioned the sensitivity and stuff. And I agree with that for the sake of accessibility, but personally I’ve just interpreted it as part of the challenge.

In all honesty I’ve never played Poyo. I’ve played Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine. From sonic? That’s what I know this from. So I don’t have direct comparisons to draw, and I still haven’t played Dual mode but I am enjoying this game so far! God the music makes me laugh and I mean that with so much sincere enjoyment and love.

Not worth the time

Fun for the first few minutes, then breaks to the point of not being completable as early as the second level

...

This game is too rigged to be considered "fun" for me...

Too many invasive ads and rate nagging

The controls are okay, a little unintuitive.

The game rules are not really explained, at all. There’s counters to the side on what color beans you need to clear, but no explanation on what affects the counter. Sometimes a basic clear lowers the count, sometimes an amazing combo does. It’s all arbitrary, and possibly glitched.

But the ads are way overdone. There’s an unstoppable ad after ever round. EVERY round. No option to remove, no incentive to watch, it’s the most basic anti-player monetization, grossly overdone.

Good!

No joke this is actually a pretty good alternative to Puyo Puyo. There is a few flaws to it however, and could use just a little bit of work, but overall it’s a pretty good game.

Meh

Basically ripped off from Sega’s mean bean machine. Game mechanics could be a lot better

Difficulty too high

it’s an Infinite amount of levels but by level 7 it’s practically impossible.

Twitchy and Inconsistent

The controls are far too sensitive, making placement unnecessarily difficult. Rotation switches direction arbitrarily. Fix these and this will be the best version for iOS.
