The update was a completely new app which I played for a short while (despite the lengthy ads) until Bingo! - yet another” update appeared. This time I thought “arghhh-Go update yourself!” and promptly deleted the app. Moral of the story, don’t p**s off your subscribers with constant updates ( whether real or manufactured). I’d only played this for less than a 24hr period before the updates started. Give this one a miss. ### 3/5 — Too hard *2025-12-22, version 1.35* After level 5 or something, I could not pass anything without using all the tools. Once I got to level 26, i used up all the tools. How are you supposed to pass it? ### 1/5 — П *2025-12-02* Огромное колисество рекламы Удалил ### 1/5 — Sick of scam ad games *2025-12-02, version 1.34* I am so sick of these companies putting out games that are just ads for other games. Rip, if you can’t pay for a no ad version, it is not worth downloading. 15 seconds of game and 3 minutes plus of ads is ridiculous. ### 1/5 — No Fun *2025-12-02, version 1.34* There’s 100s of other games like this one to try if they all follow this gameplay then don’t waste ur time 20 seconds of play an watch ad if wouldn’t be that bad if u didn’t have to watch a ad every time a game ends or you start over few ads here and there there is fine but over an over an over to the point games un playable then gets deleted ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-11-28, version 1.34* Endless ads that force you to close game to skip. ### 1/5 — 1 min of play = 15 mins of ads! *2025-11-26* This game looked fun and challenging. I downloaded it like a sucker. I made it to level 3 without issue. To achieve that level 3, this is what it took. Level 1, 30 seconds of game time, one 90 second advertisement, one one minute advertisement, and a 30 second promo spot. Level two was followed by the same thing except it was two 90 second ads followed by a 60 second ad, followed by an additional 30second promo spot. Level 3, same thing again. Each level took me less than 20 seconds to play. So I got 60 seconds of game time in exchange for 18 minutes of advertising. ### 1/5 — The ads ruin everything *2025-11-26* I don’t mind the occasional ad on a game like this, but the ads take longer time than the gameplay and I just deleted the app because of it. I downloaded it for an hour and then I deleted the app because I could not find a way to get out of some of the ads because they kept going and going and going and you have to click on the advertisement to take you to a new page and then go back in order for you to actually click out of the ad. It’s disgusting just offer way to pay for the freaking game and not as just a monthly subscription, or don’t have the game at all! ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-11-21, version 1.34* More ads than gameplay ### 2/5 — カラーボルト *2025-11-20* 何故か色を完全にそろえてもクリアにならずにアウトになる。終わってるぜ判定 もう一度やったがダメだった。加えて、オートマッチのアイテム使っても何も変わらないし、クリアにもならない。 やはり、あれから1ヶ月経っているが、いまだに「クリア判定になっても報酬は貰えない」、「そもそもクリア判定にならない」、などの問題が噴出する。それ以外のステージでも度々あるが、とくにデイリーミッションであるカラーボルトは、群を抜いて酷い。正しい判定の時の方が少ない。 ### 1/5 — Don’t bother. The worst *2025-11-20, version 1.33* More ads than game and to make matters worse it’s a timed game. When will they learn. ### 2/5 — iPhonePROだけ？広告動画が *2025-11-13* チケットやボルト穴に広告動画をみて得ることができないです。バグを治してください！ ### 1/5 — ads *2025-11-08, version 1.33* too many ads ### 2/5 — Ruined by ads *2025-10-03, version 1.33* Half the number of ads and this would be a long term go to game but at this rate I’ll get bored of waiting and find something else. ### 2/5 — Ad Free Option v Expensive *2025-09-23, version 1.33* I was enjoying this game and was ready to pay for ad free but it’s a monthly payment. The ads are long and difficult to close. I decided to try another version. ### 1/5 — Viel zu viel und lange Werbung *2025-09-09* Die Werbeeinblendungen dauern eineinhalb Minuten! In höheren Leveln spielt man manchmal nur noch 5 Sekunden und damit es weitergeht, muss man wieder 1,5 Minuten Werbung ertragen. Das Spiel an sich wäre nett, aber ich lösche es jetzt wieder. ### 1/5 — So many ads *2025-09-06, version 1.33* Too many ads. ### 1/5 — Why bother *2025-09-04, version 1.33* 95% adds. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2026-07-15, version 1.45* To many adds ### 1/5 — Ridiculous Ads *2026-05-13, version 1.40* I couldn't get past level 32 due to the amount of ads. Just this one level continuously glitched out due to the ads. I could only play the easy part and when it switched to the "hard" part of the level the ads did not stop. I watched 4 ads and it still would not let me actually play the level. ### 1/5 — Excessive ads *2026-04-28* The ads start out feeling reasonable but as you progress in the game they keep getting longer. Then they start showing 2 very long ads in a row. Once I was past level 60, there'd be 4 or more consecutive ads, with each ad lasting several minutes. I'm deleting the game after only two days. You'll be more successful if you rethink your business model. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-04-24, version 1.40* Whenever I watch a ad I always get hit with a double ad. It’s so annoying and makes the game unplayable. ### 1/5 — Uninstalled .. don’t like timed games *2026-03-20, version 1.39* I like games at night so I can relax. Being TIMED doesn’t help me relax. 😒 Deleted game. ### 1/5 — Too Many Ada *2026-03-20, version 1.39* Game has promise, but ads are distraction from fun. Deleting. ### 1/5 — Так много рекламы я еще не видела *2026-01-28* Реклама на каждом шагу, до и после каждого уровня. Я все понимаю , но перебор. Интересно как строиться рейтинг в Apple Store, если у этой игры 99,9 отзывов с 1 звездой ### 1/5 — Bait & Switch *2026-01-15, version 1.36* They tried to sell the game on the fun Eiffel Tower. It’s a very discouraging game because you have to sit through hours of ads after a few minutes of play perhaps I never reached that point I deleted the app. This game gives a strong feeling of frustration and negativity. ### 1/5 — More ads than game *2026-01-13, version 1.36* You literally watch ads more than you play. ### 1/5 — To many ads *2026-01-04, version 1.35* The ads for this game that I saw said it had NO ads. This game is nothing but ads ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 沢山やるとネタがなくなり *2026-05-18* 作る側のセンスが問われる ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-03-07, version 1.0.30* Fun game. I really enjoy the daily challenge puzzles. I wish they would make an app of the daily challenge as a game because you can only play one round per day! ### 5/5 — Unscrew *2024-09-18, version 1.17* Relaxing and challenging! Thank You! ### 5/5 — Its gonna be a long time *2024-09-18, version 1.17* Believe me, this game is addictive! I'm here for the long haul, it's a great brainwave before work!) ### 5/5 — Nuts & Bolts *2024-08-31* This would be great, if it were not for all those unwanted, annoying, irritating ads Personally, I like the challenges. Reminds me of when Dad & I tore down that old barn that was used during the horse & buggy days. ### 5/5 — Great fame different, changeling but still great for all ages Eden this pld fal *2024-08-24, version 1.14* Have fun like it it git a twist to it that kets u think it out . ### 5/5 — 238 *2024-08-20* 238 버그 해결해주세요 ### 5/5 — S *2024-08-19* Zu viel Werbung,das nervt Ansonsten macht Spaß ### 5/5 — super *2024-08-11, version 1.13* great game ### 5/5 — The only way *2024-08-05, version 1.12* I’m not a big deal but now I don’t mind if I keep going forward I won’t have to deal with anybody else anymore .👍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
