I’ve tried exiting, restarting, starting playing a game where I froze just after leaving the first level via the climbing wall. Any ideas as to a possible solution without deleting the game and starting over. I’m playing on a 1TB 13 inch iPad Air, running iPad OS 26. I haven’t upgraded to 26.2 as every time I upgrade, my unit locks up. I’ve gone to the Genius Bar twice and they check the units software and say it is fine but I hate having to reinstall software using my MacBook Pro then waiting for all my apps to load an recover from the backup. ### 4/5 — Good, but beware the ads *2026-02-26, version 1.138* I just got this game today, and I like it so far. Nice to see something different…most match 3 have silly childish graphics with very small playing boards. This one is not just a copycat. I was ok watching an ad for game rewards, but some of the ads have no way to exit them and go back to the game…I had to force-close MatchVentures and restart it. I waited for the ‘X’ to go back, and I tested it on one ad…5 minutes with no X. From now on no ads for me. ### 2/5 — Gemstone *2026-01-06, version 1.137* I like this game is funTo play but I have to keep deleting it and adding it back because it’s not giving me my points or my gems, so can y’all please fix this webpage? ### 2/5 — Annoying Ads *2026-01-05, version 1.137* I really like this game. Although the graphics are nice and challenging, the ads are too much and irritating. I wish there were an in-app purchase option for ads-free. ### 2/5 — Annoying Ads *2025-12-31, version 1.136* I really like this game. Although the graphics are nice and challenging, the ads are too much and irritating. I wish there were an in-app purchase option for ads-free. ### 2/5 — Annoying Ads *2025-12-30, version 1.136* I really like this game. Although the graphics are nice and challenging, the ads are too much and irritating. I wish there were an in-app purchase option for ads-free. ### 4/5 — Komme nicht weiter *2025-11-03, version 1.135* Spiel hängt komme nicht raus nach der Wanderung ### 3/5 — Eigentlich gut *2025-05-05, version 1.127* Leider geht ab Level 660 nach dem Puzzle mit den Zahnrädern nix mehr. Das Spiel hängt sich auf, die Zahnräder drehen auch bei Lösung nicht. Schade, das wars dann wohl. So wird das Spiel dann eben gelöscht. Hatte echt suchtfaktor. ### 2/5 — Unstable! *2025-03-07, version 1.125* I have been running a test on this game, the freezing at the end of each level will start around lvl 100 on one download then will start immediately on another download. I have downloaded it 5 times this week. It’s a shame! I really love this game! ### 4/5 — The End? *2025-02-27, version 1.124* I am on Level 309. There’s no more upgrades on bonuses now. I guess it’s the end of the game. Loved it. ### 4/5 — Will not progress *2025-01-13, version 1.123* I have reached level 1765, for many of the last 30 or so levels, I have not been able to double my winnings after completing a level. It goes through my rewards, give me my stars and then nothing. It used to ask me if I wanted to double or just move on. Also if I need more moves it takes my coins but does not grant me 60 moves. It will not let me buy boots, and can not get an ad to grant me more moves. Really enjoyed this game up until these last levels. Help……….. ### 3/5 — leider einige bugs *2025-01-05, version 1.123* Tolles, spannendes und abwechslungsreiches Match-3-Spiel. Aber leider bleibt es nach den Werbe-Clips häufig hängen und lässt sich erst Stunden später wieder öffnen. Ausserdem fällt immer wieder der Ton aus. Schade! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game doesn’t even load *2026-08-10, version 1.145* I’m running a new iPad and this game won’t even load past the beginning screen, such a shame it looked cool ### 1/5 — Stuck on same level *2026-05-19, version 1.142* So why not post my review? Stuck on the same level of 139 for over a month. Emailed support 3 times with zero response. Glad I didn’t spend any money on this game. Just updated the game hoping it would be fixed. Nope. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-05-17, version 1.141* Too many ads forced on you. ### 1/5 — 9. Seviyeyi geçemiyorum *2025-10-09, version 1.134* Merhaba 9. Seviyedeki sihirli rüzgar iksirini bulamıyorum bu yüzden 9. Seviyeyi geçemiyorum yardımcı olabilir misiniz? ### 1/5 — To many adds *2025-09-20, version 1.133* There are way to many adds. They interfere with enjoying the game. ### 1/5 — awful *2025-06-01, version 1.127* is any game worth sitting thru TWO MINUTE ADS? also, be prepared to have bugs that allow you to watch an ad to double your coins and then receive NOTHING. for several levels. and of course there’s no way to report it or get it corrected. ### 1/5 — Won’t advance *2025-04-29, version 1.126* I’ve played this game off and on since June 2022. I really loved it. So tried to reopen it (several times) and it won’t advance passed the first level, gets hung up on the reward page. Please help! ### 1/5 — useless *2025-03-10, version 1.125* this would be a good game if it worked, but more than half the time, you get through a level and it just FREEZES and you get NOTHING for all the time you spent. why bother? ### 1/5 — Stuck *2025-02-20, version 1.124* The game is stuck at the end of one level and will not progress. I can only play that same game over and over. It won’t go anywhere else ### 1/5 — Still a sucky game…….. *2024-12-13, version 1.122* Why does it still freeze up in level 18 , ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Stuck! *2025-12-10, version 1.136* I have loved all parts of the game for a long time.

Imagine how I felt when I opened the game, for the second time today, and saw that it is set back to level one! Unacceptable. ### 5/5 — Update Fixed *2025-02-14, version 1.124* I’ve been playing the game for a while and really enjoy it.

Stupid. ### 5/5 — New Year’s Day 2025 game won’t open. *2025-01-02* I’ve waited 30 days to see what will be built today but the game won’t open for me. I checked for updates but there isn’t one. Please help. Pretty disappointed not being able to play the game today because it won’t open. Out of the three games I play this is the only one that won’t open. Is this going to happen at the beginning of every month? Thank you for the update. **Developer response:** We had some issues with the updated version, but in the meantime the problems were solved. If you still have problems, please reach out to support@tamalaki.com and tell them more about the problem. ### 5/5 — Sound???? *2024-11-24, version 1.122* Love the game, great game, working my way thru and around ads, but the real problem is now, no sound! Worked fine on my Mac tablet last night, then just quit. I shut it all the way down over nite, and today still no sound. How to get it back please? The sounds are really important and I am bummed. Hope there is a happy, good answer to this. ### 5/5 — 👏🏻 *2024-11-21, version 1.122* Love the soundtrack, love the atmosphere of the levels, and I love the gameplay. The majority of these types of matching games have cartoony graphics and gameplay and while that’s perfectly fine, I’ve wanted to find a matching game with a very vintage fantasy feel to it, with more realistic graphics than games like candy crush, royal match, etc. This one is exactly what I’ve been looking for and it doesn’t disappoint so far. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
