I thought it was just a bug that would be fixed after a couple months, but it just erased my progress for a third time.. please fix this bug already! ### 2/5 — Fun concept, ads are constant *2020-05-28, version 2.2* Downloaded this game because it looked and is fun. However the ads and videos for outside apps are nonstop. They interrupt in the middle of games and are annoying. Really can’t stress how annoying and frequent they are. This would be such a fun app if not for them. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2020-05-10, version 2.1* There’s an ad like every 45 seconds, and it messes up the game when I’m in the middle of dropping something and don’t get to choose where it lands after it. It’s like they purposely did that so you’ll spend more time playing. It’s stupid. ### 1/5 — App crashes *2020-05-06, version 2.1* I was enjoying this mindless puzzle game and even paid the $2.99. As soon as I paid the app crashed and I’ve deleted and reinstalled numerous times and when it launches it is a blank gray screen! It’s junk and I’d like to get my money back, please. I did not even have it for an hour. ### 2/5 — I stopped playing because of the adds *2020-05-06, version 2.1* At first I just kept getting ads to play this game on every other game, and it seemed like a lot of fun. I downloaded and the game is pretty addicting. But as a kept playing, more and more adds would pop up. And each add was 30-60 seconds. I got to play around 1 minute at a time before I would have to wait for 3 ads to pop up. It was annoying. I’m not playing this game to see ads. I know every game like this has to have ads, but I feel like I’m watching the ads more than playing the game. Eventually, it got to the point where every block I spawned made me get another ad, so I just deleted the game. I’m sure the game would be a lot more popular if we could actually play it. Sorry for being rude I just wanted to make a point ### 2/5 — Addicting but infuriating *2020-05-06, version 2.1* The game itself is pretty good. Don’t expect anything too difficult, but it’s a nice mindless puzzle game with interesting physics. The ads, however, are unbearable. Almost one every minute, and every time they pop up you lose control of what you were doing before. The worst part is it sometimes it will restart your game and you have to start again from level one. Fix this and maybe it’ll be a decent game. ### 1/5 — Ads every five seconds *2020-05-05, version 2.0.6* This game would be fun and an aesthetically satisfying game to play but you literally cannot play for ten seconds without a 30 second ad that you cannot click out of. It’s one thing for a gam to have ads when you open and in between levels, but ads pop up during levels, and when you’re in the middle of doing something. Drastically diminishes any fun you could have playing it, so annoying ### 3/5 — RESTARTING *2020-05-04, version 2.0.6* I have had this game for three days. I turn my phone on airplane mode to get rid of the ads. Once I turn it off airplane mode it restarts me. I was at level 55 and for no reason it put me back on level 1. ### 1/5 — Never Changes *2020-05-02, version 2.0.6* This is one of the rare mobile games shamelessly advertised to actually have a fairly fun first level, but that is where the quality of this game ends. Setting aside the fact that in order to play for 20 minutes you need to watch an hour of ads for a moment, the game is still terrible. Each “level” is exactly the same as the one before it, with the only thing changing as you progress being the color of the blocks, and your self hatred for playing this mindless game. No skill is required, and any skill that you do have doesn’t help. You could spam tap anywhere on the screen and do just as well as someone playing strategically. I could actually argue that you are doing better if you just randomly tap, because at least then, you don’t have to waste your time thinking about this overrated and overadvertised piece of crap. Blindly tapping would of course open ad after ad that can not be closed and immediately redirects to a new page. I would be better off staring at my turned off phone screen, because at least then, I’m not wasting battery. ### 2/5 — Ads Interrupt Play *2020-05-01, version 2.0.6* I downloaded this, got to level 10, and then immediately uninstalled it. It would be a fun, addicting game, but having ads play in the middle of a level every thirty seconds is frustrating and takes you out of the game. I wouldn’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — DO NOT GET THIS GAME! Too many Ads *2020-05-01, version 2.0.6* Unless you like being interrupted every five seconds with an add I don’t suggest getting this app. I’m not exaggerating on the amount of adds, I’ll drop five blocks and then a 30 second add will appear. I skip it and after 10 blocks comes another. I can’t even get through a level without getting at least 3 ads. DO NOT GET THIS GAME !!!! ### 1/5 — Good game but ads are too much!!!! *2020-05-01, version 2.0.6* The game is a good way to pass time in quarantine only if you want to see a 15 sec ad for every 30 seconds you play. The ads really makes this game unplayable especially since ads will pop while your trying to place your block causing it to drop automatically. I played for 30 min and couldn’t deal with it anymore. ### 3/5 — To many ads *2020-04-30, version 2.0.6* I paid 2.99 hopping that it would illuminate the ads or at lest some. Really disappointed that ads have not been removed and I really enjoy this game. Please fix this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads all the time *2022-02-24, version 2.2* I understand ads are needed, but sometimes you only get to drop 2-3 blocks before you have to sit through another 30 second ad. It got to the point I was spending more time watching advertisements than playing the actual game. ### 1/5 — Ads are ridiculous *2021-12-01, version 2.2* Literally stops you in the middle of game play to run an ad. Couldn’t even finish one level without being forced to watch ads. Don’t waste your time downloading this garbage! Also, red flag - the developer hasn’t responded to a single negative add. That’s proof that they are just making a mindless game to run ads and make money. They don’t give a crap about the bad reviews they get. ### 1/5 — App crashing and no way to get help *2020-05-27, version 2.2* Last week the game reset its self and I lost ALL of my progress and had to start back at level one. Now every few days, it does the same thing. I open the app and I’m back to a score of zero and on level 1. Very frustrating and I wish there was a way to contact someone to get it fixed. ### 1/5 — Why are there so many ads? *2020-05-25, version 2.2* This game was quite fun, the problem being is there’s WAY too many ads... I mean it was after every 10 moves or so there was an ad, extremely unnecessary and really makes nobody want to play, figure out how to make a game without 1000 ads in the first hour ### 1/5 — Game just quit working... *2020-05-15, version 2.2* I’ve had the app for a few weeks now and it literally just quit working. Tried to contact the game support with no response. I’ve deleted, re-downloaded multiple times, etc. I paid for this and was sadly disappointed to find I can no longer play it... ### 1/5 — I hate to love this game. *2020-05-13, version 2.1* It’s super fun when you start out. The first few levels get you thinking strategically. But after a few moves there’s an ad that comes up. Let me repeat, after a few moves every time, there’s an ad. So, it had me hooked, and I bought it so it removed the ads. I thought I was good then. I played it for a few days whiteout ads and once I got passed level 30 or so, it become very monotonous. It’s the same thing over and over again. At this point I’m not even playing strategically anymore because it would take an hour to pass a level playing that way. I am just tapping my screen to tap, pouring block after block on to the screen. It’s no longer fun. Then, to beat it all, after the last update, it broke the app. So I’ve payed $4.99 for this app that I cannot even play now, even after redownloading it three times. I want a refund. ### 1/5 — Wish it Would Open *2020-05-12, version 2.1* There’s ads every five minutes, when I got to the higher levels it bumped me down to level one. I stopped playing for a few hours then it wouldn’t open, so I deleted it and put it back on my phone. After it downloaded, it STILL WOULD NOT OPEN. I see potential for a great game but it’s poorly done 🤷 ### 1/5 — Restarts my progress *2020-05-11, version 2.1* I love this game. I love the boosts and how to requires you to think. It’s a fun game while you’re waiting for something or are board. However, I made it to level 56, and the next time I opened the app, I had to restart from level 1. Since then, every time I open the app it crashes once, then I have to open it again and it works. Today I made it to level 37, and later when I went to play again, I had to restart at level 1. This game is super fun but i’m extremely disappointed that I keep losing my progress. Someone please fix this ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money on the no ads *2020-05-09, version 2.1* This game is addictive and passes the time, because of the ungodly amount of ads the regular version has, that makes it unbearable to play, I purchased the no ads version, and guess what? If you answer was I still get ads, you’d be correct. At first they went away and then I had one or two random ones. Now it’s back to where I have them all the time, so they screwed me out of my three dollars and they game is still unplayable because of the ads I still get, even after paying to remove them. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work *2020-05-08, version 2.1* I downloaded it and when I went to open it it just freezes on a grey screen every time. I haven’t even seen what the actual game looks like bc it freezes immediately when I open it. Every time. Tried redownloading multiple times but still the same result. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — my high score is 13m *2023-01-07, version 2.2* imagine how high it would be if the game doesnt randomly restart and get rid of my score HOWEVERRRR that really doesnt matter im just being silly this is literally the best mobile game ive ever played and the only one id ever make a review for and i get that its been kinda abandoned the last update was 2yrs ago and thats totally fine bc i still think everyone w add or anxiety should have this game ### 5/5 — Oddly satisfying *2020-05-13, version 2.1* I’m not one to draw much attention to my anxiety, but this game sure does keep it in check. I’m not sure if it’s the pointlessness of the game other than to literally merge like colored boxes or the pretty colors. Something about mindlessly dropping each box to another box is so flipping relaxing to me. Even though you advance a “level” once you break a chain it accomplishes nothing and I love it. If I had a complaint the game randomly resets my levels. I was once a proud level 113, but one day it just reset. There’s literally no difference from lvl 1-113. So who cares. Want a mindless game to just zone out to and enjoy the colors? It’s this one. Yes, I realize how much of a hippie I sound here but I promise I’m a normal person who enjoys a game that has no skill set whatever lol. Oh I did pay the one time $2.99 those ads were awful in the beginning. Takes away the relaxing vibe. ### 5/5 — You guys are children *2020-05-01, version 2.0.6* You guys are stupid if your complaining about ads all Mobile games has ads in it, the game is great, keep it up!! ### 5/5 — I didn’t purchase the no ads option *2020-04-30, version 2.0.6* But it charged me still 😤 ### 5/5 — What a bunch of idiots *2020-04-28, version 2.0.6* Stop whining about ads. This game is the same as any mobile game in that it constantly has ads. Literally do the same thing you’d do for any of em, when you are playing, turn on airplane mode. Guess what? No WiFi no ads! Great game, super fun, don’t like it and too lazy to turn on airplane mode? Don’t play it. ### 5/5 — Ads make it impossible to enjoy *2020-04-24, version 2.0.6* Can’t even get through even a minute of game play without ads. That was a fun 5 minutes before deleting it off my phone. Don’t waste your time. ### 4/5 — Ads *2020-05-01, version 2.0.6* I love this game! I’m just upset that every 2 minutes I get an ad popping up on my screen and messes with my game ethics 😂 Keeping me entertain during this quarantine 👌 I truly recommend this game to my sister, brother, mother, father, and boyfriend! Truly angry that I have to purchase it so I don’t get any ads 😒 Whatta world we live in🤦🏽‍♀️ ### 4/5 — Ads *2020-04-25, version 2.0.6* For everyone saying how there’s ads every 30 seconds, if you turn on airplane mode you won’t get any ads ### 3/5 — Restarting progress *2021-10-19, version 2.2* I actually really enjoy this game it isn’t too difficult and keeps you distracted the only issue I have is it restarts you back to level one constantly it’s happened to me 4 times already ! Just right now I was on level 100 and I just opened the app and I’m back to level 1 ### 3/5 — It hurt my feelings *2020-07-03, version 2.2* This game is Gods work. It is incredible and it I wish I could spend every second of my life playing it. However. It resets my progress randomly and spontaneously and I’ve had enough. It’s time to cut ties with Merge Blocks Merge. I respect myself too much to keep wasting my time when the app clearly doesn’t care for my well being. Incredible app. Screw you. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
