Sinon les niveau se répète dans les catégorie ça fait l’affaire avant cette demande ### 1/5 — I’m going to transfer you money today I give you 2000 dollars my name is wobble wobble my pin is wob *2025-08-12, version 1.6.8* Fjdjfvudbebfovfh it means hello in aserbijanian by bobble from wobble ### 1/5 — 60 SECOND AD *2025-04-23, version 1.6.7* IT GAVE ME A SIXTY SECOND AD 👺👺👺👺 ### 2/5 — Viel zu viel Werbung *2025-03-07, version 1.6.6* Ein schönes Spiel, aber seit etlichen Wochen viel zu viel Werbung. Macht so keinen Spaß mehr. Ich habe es gelöscht. ### 4/5 — I play all the time!!! *2025-03-05, version 1.6.6* Bright and interesting game, great graphics!! ### 3/5 — Sound and suggest *2025-03-02, version 1.6.6* I like it, just the music is just so annoying I play with the sound down and also maybe make it were you earn money and can change the background and blocks. Yep dats it ### 4/5 — Great!!!!!!! *2025-03-02, version 1.6.6* The app surprised me!! ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-01-27, version 1.6.5* WHAT is with the increase in ads lately holy cow. Makes me not want to play. ### 2/5 — Forced advertisement *2025-01-06, version 1.6.3* The recent update forces me into advertisements. Not cool. If that stays I will stop using this app although I enjoy it. Generally, it was hard to understand what the recent updates were for. Strange color changes being one of the changes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ad’s in the middle of playing?? Seriously? *2026-08-19, version 1.6.10* It’s kind of hard to rate a game highly when I’m bombarded with ads as soon as I start to play. What’s more I closed the app thinking it was some sort of issue, reloaded in and got an add that popped up as soon as I touched the screen trying to get me to click on it. Completely ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Gioco bello *2026-04-16, version 1.6.10* Ho finito i livelli di questo gioco. Ci sono altri livelli? ### 1/5 — Tırt *2026-02-25, version 1.6.10* Bk gibi oyun ### 1/5 — I played this for 10 years *2026-02-15, version 1.6.10* and now it’s completely worthless and unplayable with all the ads 💔 ### 1/5 — Designed to fail *2026-01-31, version 1.6.10* The ads is absolutely ridiculous and definitely seem like it’s designed for you to fail ### 1/5 — Bad glitching!!!!!! *2026-01-21, version 1.6.10* The game glitches very bad. ### 1/5 — Really! Ad’s right in the middle of the game? *2026-01-20, version 1.6.10* I thought you fixed this issue in release 1.6 but no it still does it. I had paused the game and when I tried it I got one play in and then all I got was advertisements. ### 1/5 — Ad spamming during game ruins it *2025-12-24, version 1.6.10* The ads are hyper. The game is good but totally ruined by hyperactive ads. ### 1/5 — Too many ads! *2025-09-14, version 1.6.9* Find another app. One game had 25+ ads; anytime 2 pieces are dropped it goes to an ad and is very hard to play. ### 1/5 — Cannot silence the ads *2025-09-06, version 1.6.9* I love this app but it has become unusable. I have all sounds off as I frequently play it where I don’t want to disturb others but now the ads play with sound and there is no way to silence them before they loudly interrupt the entire room. I don’t mind ads but it is horrible that they don’t follow the app settings. I will have to delete this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — MK *2026-05-11, version 1.6.10* Fun ### 5/5 — Audio book and puzzles *2025-09-30, version 1.6.10* Listen to my audio books while I play this. Very relaxing ### 5/5 — Me Myself and I *2025-06-12, version 1.6.8* Great game love ### 5/5 — I love this game *2024-12-23, version 1.6.2* I played the free version for weeks before getting the version without ads. They just added some extra levels with little vortices and blocks you have to hit thrice to make disappear. I initially found this game while looking for Tetris. You can play with only 4 block pieces (basically Tetris) or with only 5 block pieces (Pentix, which is harder) or with a combination of 1,2,3,4,5 block pieces. It took awhile to finish the Pentix challenge series. You can play by level and level up through challenges, or play the regular game, or play a random “adventure” level. ### 5/5 — Excellent game! *2024-11-26, version 1.4.1* The game improves memory! ### 5/5 — One of my faves *2024-11-24, version 1.4* As a lifelong Tetris lover, I love this game! I enjoy the extra shapes and the campaigns. Please add some new levels to the campaigns 🙏🏽 This game has been my go-to Tetris game for years 🫶🏽 ### 5/5 — glitchy and too many ads *2024-11-23, version 1.4* unfortunately it’s glitchy and way too many ads only 5 stats so you’ll see it not really worth it imo even though the design is cool music is interesting. wish there was a way to control the pace ### 5/5 — 楽しい *2024-11-16, version 1.4* 基本的に楽しいです。 無料ゲームで広告が入るのは仕方ないけれど、×で1回で簡単に消えない広告や、たまに歯茎たくさん見せられる広告は鬱陶しい。 ゲームは電池の消費が早いのと、 積み上がってる時に棒ブロックが出てきて一瞬喜ぶも、縦にぶっささってゲームオーバーになる時の絶望感は半端ない。 それ以外は楽しいです。 ### 5/5 — Need new levels *2024-10-02, version 1.3.13* I love the game but need more levels to continue playing! ### 5/5 — Nostalgic fun! *2024-09-15, version 1.3.13* Challenging and fun. Great for distracting anxious brains too. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
