When I set myself up for success in a new drop and it matches 6, I now get MORE blocks instead of being rewarded for that. Sometimes I get an extra block dropped instead of 6 and I’m not sure why. You can be doing super well but all of a sudden lose quickly because of the randomizes drops. I would recommend lower combination (3 instead of 6) or more layers so you can actually add more strategy to the game. And don’t give more blocks as a “reward”!! ### 4/5 — what? *2019-12-03, version 1.11* it’s fun but sometimes it’ll try to drop an extra block more than it should and it causes me to lose. ### 4/5 — crushing issues *2019-01-04, version 1.11* it really is a great game and im totally addicted to it but when i enter the game everything freezes and i cant play 😫😫 ### 2/5 — iOS 12.1 instantly crashes game *2018-11-25, version 1.1* On iPhone 8 Plus running 12.1, your game instantly crashes! ### 2/5 — Update crashes game *2018-11-24, version 1.1* I enjoyed this game till the update. Now opening it crashes it. ### 2/5 — Fun game, when it works *2018-11-24, version 1.1* Played it a bunch for days, now it crashes on open, even after delete and reinstall. Can’t like it if it doesn’t work. ### 4/5 — Beautiful, addicting, too short *2018-11-23, version 1.1* Love the gameplay, the colors, and the sounds, but I’m stuck just trying to beat my own best score, because I’ve collected all of the colors and backgrounds. I want more! ### 2/5 — Fun until update *2018-11-23, version 1.1* The latest update of the game stopped it from working on my iPhone ### 3/5 — Wouldn’t work after phone update *2018-11-23, version 1.1* After I updated my phone to iOS 12 the game wouldn’t start. ### 3/5 — Would be awesome with 3D Touch and haptics *2018-11-20, version 1.03* Feels like the perfect game to support them— bummer they’re not included ### 4/5 — Fun puzzler for any age *2018-11-13, version 1.03* Once I got the hang of the game navigation, Pivotol has been a blast! Initially I was trying too hard to turn the pieces but as I gain more experience, I find it fun and very catchy. While this may never be a game to build high scores on the leaderboards, it is a great option for quick gameplay on the phone or tablet. ### 4/5 — Tutorial is not clear enough *2018-11-10, version 1.03* I dont really understand the gameplay after tutorial. Although i get the idea of rotation but dont know how to score. Only after reading the description in appstore THEN i know i have to match SIX blocks together. The game might be easier to understand if it only requires match 3 blocks or form a line like tetris ### 3/5 — Doesn’t save game *2018-10-22, version 1.01* If you’re looking for a game you can play in quick sessions, and you don’t mind your best game getting reset, then here you go. Not a bad game. Stylish and with a novel match mechanic. IAP is for diff colors and simple helpers. Nothing bad. No ads. ### 4/5 — Fun but add one feature *2018-10-20, version 1.01* I like it so far but can you add a undo button or somehow be able to release your finger so it doesn’t count as a move? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No instructions *2020-01-17, version 1.11* I downloaded this app 3 days ago and still haven’t figured out how to play. It would be helpful if you put instructions in the menu. The controls are too sensitive and it’s hard to control what blocks you’re spinning. If I could give this game 0 stars I would. ### 1/5 — Confusing *2019-01-26, version 1.11* I usually love puzzle games, but I don’t understand this game at all. The controls make no sense and are hard to use and I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing. Can’t find a help menu. ### 1/5 — so difficult *2018-12-17, version 1.11* need to make it starts with easier levels first , its difficult for beginners ### 1/5 — Update broke it *2018-11-24, version 1.1* Loved this game - just updated the app and now it won’t start ### 1/5 — Latest update *2018-11-24, version 1.1* Update broke game doesn’t open ### 1/5 — Crashes *2018-11-24, version 1.1* After new update the app crashes upon opening. ### 1/5 — Immediate fail *2018-11-23, version 1.1* It opens and then immediately closes. Can’t play it at all. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t save progress upon exit. *2018-10-28, version 1.02* I first thought I was missing a step when I had to quit in the middle of a game. I was up to over 800 and had to stop to pick up my pizza to go. I came back later expecting to pick up where I left off, it started a new game. Also confusing pivot direction. I’m pulling it one way and halfway to where I want it, it starts going in the opposite direction which caused missed placements. VERY ANNOYING!!!!!!! ### 2/5 — Instructions? *2019-08-11, version 1.11* If I had not come back here to read your description of the game, I would have no clue what I was doing! The game does NOT give you clears instructions on how to play and how to get the most enjoyment from the game. You might see a big improvement in your ratings if you would change this one little thing. Just food for thought... ### 2/5 — Broken *2018-11-27, version 1.1* The game is fun but the app completely stopped working with the latest update. I open it and it immediately crashes. Such a shame I’ve only had it a few weeks. **Developer response:** 1.11 fixes the problem with 1.1. Sorry about the issues! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My favorite puzzle game on the iOS store *2021-08-31, version 1.2* I’ve always been a fan of Puzzle games and this is the one I always come back to whenever I need to pass time since you can play it offline. No I’m app purchases or ads so you can play multiple rounds without any annoying interruptions. This game also helps me calm down as well with the visuals and sounds. I like the auto save feature because when my breaks end at work I can shut off the game and pick it back up where I left off. Not to mention they have a color blind mode. (They add boarders to the blocks) though with all the color schemes you can pick from your bound to find one that’ll work for you. Overall a solid puzzle game and I would recommend to anyone looking for a puzzle game to add to their apps. ### 5/5 — nice *2020-11-03, version 1.2* i’ve been playing a while, cracked top ten global. a few things, triple voids should do something special since their so difficult to set up and full board clears should be rewarded. otherwise it’s gameplay is probably as good as it can be although the rng can be a bit frustrating at times lol. sound design is really what makes the game so addictive tho. just turn off the music and listen to the pops and thumps :):) ### 5/5 — Shh *2018-12-23, version 1.11* Dffhgggg was my time for a good time ### 5/5 — Outstanding Game *2018-11-27, version 1.11* from an outstanding game designer. ### 5/5 — Fun and unique Tetris-like *2018-10-23, version 1.02* Fun game that uses spatial awareness like Tetris or any match three games. It has a unique take where you rotate around a pivot instead of swiping in some cardinal direction allowing you to strategically build up massive combos. Overall very fun. Also, the art style is crazy, retro, and cool. ### 5/5 — 👌🏻 *2018-10-20, version 1.01* Such a nice unsuspected and refreshing, matching surprise 😯 ### 5/5 — This is a great game *2018-10-20, version 1.01* I enjoy this game, but it’s only good for like a time killer in like a waiting room at the doctors or dmv ect. I’d love to see a game like this but with levels and upgrades and stuff. And or different game modes. ### 5/5 — Beautiful game *2018-10-18, version 1.01* I saw this game when it was still on preorder and fell in love with the colors, so I decided to try it. I’m still getting used to the controls but I really like it, it’s a fun game that makes you think and is easy to pass the time with. I also really like that you can change the colors by winning enough jewels as well as the background (if you want to). There is also an option once per game to watch an ad if you go into overflow and need a bomb, but it doesn’t make you watch it if you don’t want to, which is very nice. Great job so far! ### 5/5 — A welcome return *2018-10-18, version 1.01* Radiangames’ Inferno+ is my all time #1 favorite iPhone game. This one isn’t quite that great, but you should definitely play it! ### 5/5 — Very fun! *2018-10-18, version 1.01* I’m already addicted, I really have to think about my next move before I make any, really keeps me busy and is a lot of fun. Games like this are my favorite and I’m definitely a fan! Love the idea behind it and I like the design and sounds. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
