I like having to move the pieces around to get them to fit ### 4/5 — Not easy and not too difficult *2021-06-15, version 1.1.6* I wasn’t sure about downloading this game, but I’m enjoying it and so far it’s kicked my brain into action and thinking and reasoning can’t be bad! ### 4/5 — Great game *2020-12-08, version 1.1.6* I just redownloaded and the nostalgia is rushing in. It’s a nicely made great game, sadly there is more ads interrupting your gameplay now than before. ### 4/5 — Lots of adds when hints are used. *2020-07-06, version 1.1.6* When you tap the button to use a hint it makes you watch an add every single time. ### 4/5 — Too many ads *2020-03-14, version 1.1.6* This game is fun but it has way to many ads! ### 4/5 — Makes me think *2019-12-31, version 1.1.6* It’s a challenge and I like that! ### 4/5 — Like it but has a Problem *2019-10-13, version 1.1.6* I like the puzzles and I enjoy the graphics and the music, But WAY to many interruptions. Every time I finish a puzzle, and ad shows up. So please do something about it. ### 4/5 — Great. Game *2019-07-25, version 1.1.6* Great game bit a lot of ads. ### 4/5 — montezumapuzzle *2019-06-01, version 1.1.6* I agree with the other comments made: good game and graphics, but too many interruptions. ### 4/5 — Good puzzle game *2019-05-02, version 1.1.6* Has upped the ads since I started playing. If you can ignore ads, great game. ### 5/5 — I was looking for Zuma Deluxe and found your puzzles. *2019-03-05, version 1.1.6* These are great I even like the pipe puzzles and blast one. Marbles is my favorite. ### 4/5 — Interesting and different type of puzzle *2018-11-20, version 1.1.5* I enjoy this puzzle as well as other Montzuma variations. I don’t think the ads are all that bad. This is a free game after all. ### 3/5 — good game *2018-10-08, version 1.1.5* good game but too much advertisements, it gets annoying ### 5/5 — Jannypanny *2018-10-01, version 1.1.5* Very relaxing game so glad its still here what with it being IOS 11 a lot of good games have not been updated. ### 3/5 — A nice game but... *2018-09-16, version 1.1.5* The global mute button should be split into mute music and mute sound effects. Without, you are left with a very distracting experience or a boring one. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Will not open on my iPhone 11 Pro *2020-04-27, version 1.1.6* Please fix. I used to love this game. ### 1/5 — The ads *2019-02-27, version 1.1.6* Your game is awesome the calming music is a great touch. This is a peaceful puzzle game. I never rate anything. I feel I have to say something I played you other ones a lot. But the pop up ads more then needed, well that is why your getting one star. Stay with the ads at the bottom and get ride of the pop up crap and get 5 stars ### 1/5 — Too many interruptions *2018-09-18, version 1.1.5* Fun puzzles and very pleasing artwork But interrupting play after every completed puzzle to hawk your own silly games is annoying. Worse, though, is how loud those interruptions are. I play puzzles like these to relax my brain. I keep the sound off. But to get interrupted with a sudden LOUD game invite which I can't shut off and sometimes can't even close out when it is done is a game ender for me. I have no issues at all with the silent ads appearing on the bottom of the screen. Those are tastefully done and I assume help pay the developers. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2017-11-04, version 1.0.5* Love the puzzles but hate the adds. I paid not to have any. This is a rip-of. ### 1/5 — Get ads on a paid app? *2017-06-27, version 1.0.4* Absolutely annoying and frustrating, to have to wait long commercials of other games on a paid app, That was the reason I paid to buy an ad free app. Apple's App Store should remove apps like this. Totally unfair to purchasing customers ### 1/5 — Make harder puzzles please *2017-06-23, version 1.0.4* Soooooooooooo this app all of a sudden started having ads. I literally had this game for 4 days and just today ads came about. DELETE ### 1/5 — Boff *2017-01-25, version 1.0.3* Good music, do the same things as hell ### 1/5 — Enough with theadds *2014-12-08, version 1.0.3* Game was great but there are sooooooo many adds!! You could be moving a piece of the puzzle and the would pop up and cause ur touching the screen u selected the add! There are so many adds I deleted the game... ### 2/5 — Montezuma *2018-04-16, version 1.0.5* I like the game a lot but too many advertisements that I’m going to stop playing ### 2/5 — Ads! *2018-02-03, version 1.0.5* I actually really enjoy the game but will be deleting it because of the stupid ads for other games popping up every time you solve a level! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mind clearing *2026-07-28, version 1.1.6* Play all of them. They are great to rest and clear the mind after a long day. The 1st one is still my favorite! Get all 3! ### 5/5 — Relaxing Puzzle Game *2022-12-21, version 1.1.6* Enjoyable puzzle game with regular (but brief) ad interruptions. Good gameplay without stress. ### 5/5 — 10/10 would bang *2022-09-26, version 1.1.6* This game is 10/10 would bang ### 5/5 — Puzzle *2022-03-31, version 1.1.6* Good game and good for your mind but just don’t like all the ads ### 5/5 — Good game once purchase no ads *2021-10-11, version 1.1.6* The ads were annoying, but the price to purchase a no-add version ($2.99) was actually really reasonable, especially compared to other games. This is a great relaxing time-killer, & really helps my anxiety. I recommend purchasing the no-ad version, and then enjoy it at your leisure- see how many different ways you can solve each puzzle! ### 5/5 — Very Captivating!!! *2021-02-14, version 1.1.6* I just started playing and became completely engrossed. I keep trying to outdo myself. Very relaxing and easy to play. I still find it unbelievable each time the puzzle pieces fit in place. Not bored yet!!! Love it🤗. ### 5/5 — Montezuma *2020-03-03, version 1.1.6* Great fun. My favorite go to game. It allows me to have fun and relax. ### 5/5 — Good *2019-12-06, version 1.1.6* Good game ### 5/5 — Attractive Puzzle *2019-10-18, version 1.1.6* I like that I can listen to audio books and play this while traveling or long waits. ### 5/5 — Great game *2019-05-28, version 1.1.6* Really enjoy playing, the intensity varies from game to game. Keeps things interesting 😀🤔👍🏻 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
