Mostly, it’s a guess work on your part. You get 5 hearts to begin playing. To replenish these hearts, it takes 30 min each. The frustrating part are the the abundance of repetitive ads and the passing “hard” and “super hard” levels. You need to watch an ad at the end of each level, the beginning of each level and to get a free heart. These ads are randomly 5 second to 90 second, the latter from back to back ads. So, if you enjoy watching copious amount of ads, this is the game for you. Sure, you can spend real money to buy hearts or stop ads that only temporarily stop the ads. I know the developers needs ads and for players to spend money for support. Me…while i enjoy playing, I don’t watched these ads and I don’t spend money on this type of game that doesn’t relaxes me. So, my rating for this game is a “3!” ### 2/5 — caroljot *2026-01-23, version 2.3.4* I want my penguins back ### 3/5 — Was a great game *2025-11-06, version 2.2.4* I loved this game - challenging enough to keep me coming back. But recently it has become impossible to win without spending money. I have been playing the same level now for about a week - enough! That is absurd! I will wait a week and see if there is any change or help. If not, I will sadly delete. ### 1/5 — Match Jam 3D *2025-10-27, version 2.2.3* I definitely agree about bringing the penguins back that is the reason I enjoyed playing this game because they were so cute now they’re blocks with eyes that move very creepy looking no longer cute I understand you can’t change the name of the game because there’s already a game out there with blocks so maybe you and bring the penguins back and just stop jamming up the game so players have no chance of winning unless you spend money I’m sure such a disappointment it was such a good game I have to give it a star to get this review otherwise I’ll give it a zero now!! ### 1/5 — Bad Update *2025-10-23, version 2.2.3* Sometimes updates aren’t necessary. This game was awesome and now it’s not. In trying to make the game prettier, they dumbed the game down. Please revert. ### 4/5 — Theme update *2025-10-16, version 2.2.2* Thanks for choice of interface. ### 4/5 — Bring back the og version *2025-10-02, version 2.2.0* Being back the penguins - the new version is not the same, it's hard to differ the colors and it's not as fun. Please, please return the game to what it was - it used to be fun. ### 3/5 — Don’t care for the update *2025-09-29, version 2.1.9* It was fun and relaxing, since the update, I don’t like the graphics. This was my go to, I’ll have to find another one. ### 2/5 — Was great until latest update *2025-09-27, version 2.1.9* This game was great up until I opened it up again yesterday. The new update have bigger graphics that get in the way of gameplay, plus they’ve made the boards exponentially harder just to get money, I believe. I was still paying money before… But with this last update, I may delete the app altogether. Even regular boards are difficult to pass now, and the new graphics definitely don’t help it. You’ve made a fun game bad. ### 3/5 — Hate the new look *2025-09-26, version 2.1.9* I love this game but I absolutely hate the new look. ### 1/5 — The new update lost me *2025-09-24, version 2.1.9* I do not like the new update look at all. I was good the way is was. The game play levels are repetitive and not challenging. It was great before the changes. I agree with another reviewer that it looks a child’s game. Won’t be playing. ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2025-09-21, version 2.1.9* I am not happy with the new update. I loved it the way it was. ### 1/5 — Sept 2025 App Update *2025-09-17, version 2.1.8* I cannot believe they changed the little minion squares to these penguins. I feel like this is now a child’s game and is now so unappealing. I played this game every night to fall asleep and now it’s hard on the eyes and I can’t stand it. Worst update EVER! ### 1/5 — Latest release broken for me *2025-09-16, version 2.1.8* I can’t play anymore on my iPhone with the latest release. I also just installed the latest security update to iOS 18.7 (did not upgrade to iOS 26). Opening screen is totally different with lots of items on left and right. Button to play the level does not do anything. ### 2/5 — Great game but .. *2025-08-24, version 2.1.6* I play it a lot and am over level 10000! BUT.. you will NEVER win the iceberg quest.. unless you pay$. Never won once!! ### 4/5 — Intersting *2025-08-12, version 2.1.6* Great fun ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Yuck *2026-03-22, version 2.3.8* Really dont like the new graphics! ### 1/5 — I want the igloos, eggs, and snow back *2026-02-16, version 2.3.6* The new graphics are horrible. ### 1/5 — Too busy cash grab *2026-02-16, version 2.3.6* Each update gets more ridiculous. I especially hate the tunnel keys. It’s waaaaaaaaaay too busy. I really don’t like it much. ### 1/5 — New upgrade *2026-02-03, version 2.3.6* What the heck? Where are the penguins? New game doesn’t look like penguins!!! Don’t like it at all. ### 1/5 — Too busy cash grab *2026-01-25, version 2.3.5* Each update gets more ridiculous. I especially hate the tunnel keys. It’s waaaaaaaaaay too busy. I really don’t like it much. ### 1/5 — Update sucks. *2026-01-25, version 2.3.5* I’ve been a huge fan of this game since early 2024. I stopped playing at the beginning of 2025. They updated it since then and now the game is trash. I’m physically enraged at the update. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-01-25, version 2.3.5* This game kicks you out usually for 25 minutes if you lose one time! It’s like they are punishing you for losing! Then you can’t play again until the time they say! ### 1/5 — Cost money *2026-01-19, version 2.3.4* I had an old version of this but it froze up and caused issues so I deleted and re-download it. They have changed the game since then. Now at a certain point there’s no way to get through the levels unless you pay money to do so. ### 1/5 — Cash grab max *2025-12-05, version 2.2.9* Used to be a reasonable game…..now just a cash grab. Now I do not want to spend money. The keys really make it a money grab. Why would you put all that in the game so early on? My favorite game, but I’m probably going to have to find another. I don’t want games you cannot win unless you spend money. Especially very early on. These games are so bad now I’ve decided to go back to my original soda crush and angry birds. Greed Always Ruins Everything. ### 1/5 — Cash grab *2025-11-29, version 2.2.8* Used to be a reasonable game…..now just a cash grab. Now I do not want to spend money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Issue with 3847 *2026-08-06, version 2.4.2* I totally love this app but…….i am having issues and aggravation dealing with being forced in a way to buy the additional spaces so I can move on. I can figure out the majority but it’s too frustrating with how many attempts it takes to move on. I do not expect simple or easy but this app will challenge you to the point you want to scream unless you buy the extra slots. I just wamt to have fun but recently I don’t with this game! ### 5/5 — Sharp *2025-12-14, version 2.3.0* Love it Like speed reading ### 5/5 — What happened?! *2025-09-28, version 2.1.9* I’ve loved this game and have played it regularly for over a year - then this last week it totally changed! I’m so disappointed! I want my penguins back. The new version is not nearly as complex and the penguins are so big. I feel like I’ve been thrown back into a baby game. Please give us our old penguins back! ### 5/5 — .no adds *2025-07-22, version 2.1.6* I love this game ### 5/5 — What happened? *2025-04-30, version 2.1.5* When I started playing this game it was awesome! There were no ads absolutely none then all of a sudden there was an ad after every game! It’s really a great game but the ads make it horrible. ### 5/5 — coulee girl *2025-04-26, version 2.1.5* easy to play, with enough challenges ### 5/5 — This game is worth your time *2025-04-19, version 2.1.5* I’m totally addicted!! No ads..good graphics..check it out! ### 5/5 — Love this game again! *2025-04-02, version 2.1.4* This is my favorite game! I got some infinite life runs back. I found my treasure chest full of goodies and ended up with 2 days of infinite lives which is perfect timing while I'm under the weather. This is my go to game when I'm winding down or listening to an audiobook. I'm on level 2420 as of this review. ### 5/5 — Status *2025-03-28, version 2.1.3* Fun ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2025-03-25, version 2.1.3* Love this game. It's a longtime favorite of mine. It's so relaxing to play. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
