### 3/5 — Too slow

*2025-05-02*

I’d love this game if you could move the bubbles faster. It’s way too slow

### 1/5 — Screen stretching bug is back

*2024-08-07*

Too bad, it seems fun! The bug makes it unusable

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2024-04-11*

I love it, good job

### 4/5 — Really good but needs a Dark Mode

*2023-04-27*

I really like it. I’ve wanted a live Tetris like game for a while and this is definitely one of the best interpretations I’ve seen! But, the game is vary bright and could use a dark mode where a darker colour (not pur black) is used to help with the brightness.

### 3/5 — I want to love this, but it glitches every time

*2023-03-26*

Saw this, thought it would be fun … and it is … until it glitches out, every time I play on my iPhone XS.  And it’s not just me.  My daughter has this on her iPhone X and it glitches for her too.

I installed in my iPad Pro (2018) and it works great!  Lots of fun.  But not on my phone.

Thus, I want to love this game, but it glitches out.

(What is the glitch?  After several lines come up, the balls start to flatten or stretch.  I can’t move them and things start to get really jittery.)

### 2/5 — could be great

*2022-03-30*

it’s visually pleasing and has interesting features with the bombs, locked bubbles, and anchors, but moving the individual bubbles feels sluggish. not sure how much it would affect the difficulty but i would like to be able to hold and drag a bubble more than one space over if necessary. a dark mode would also be cool, since this is big on white. and i don’t like that the thing that triggers ads is just a button called “extra life,” which makes me think i won said life by playing the game, not that i’m about to watch an ad that it’s difficult to X out of. not to mention this is a paid game and probably shouldn’t have ads in the first place. subtracted a star for banner ads during the actual game now. paid games should not have ads

**Developer response:** Thanks for playing the game and taking the time to write a review! 

Being able to move a ball multiple spaces in a single move is an interesting idea, I’d have to test it out to see if it’s viable, but I like the idea!

I agree, dark mode is a definite must.

And I think you have a good point in the extra life button not being clear that it’ll display ad, I will need to fix that too.

I’m currently working on a new game so won’t be able to get to these updates right away, but I have documented them and appreciate the feedback!

*2021-07-02*
