But I paid for Ads free and it is definitely no different. Ads all the dang time. Idk why I wasted the money. It’s fun to pass the time though. ### 4/5 — Love this game *2021-07-01, version 1.40* I have had this game before and absolutely love it, I abhor how frequent the ads play and bought ad free and my account was charged but the game still says payment failed. ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2021-06-26* Waaay too many pop up ads. Really ruins the flow of the game. I even tired paying the fee for no ads. Apple tells me payment was successful but then the game tell me purchase failed. So something is up with that. ### 2/5 — must pay *2021-06-14* dont bother unless you are willing to pay. ads pop up every two turns. (plus banner ads) it totally ruins the ability to enjoy the game play. i dont mind paying but i cant even get into the game to see if i want it long term ### 2/5 — Great game; too many ads *2021-04-12, version 1.40* The game is truly brilliant but spamming players with ads every 30 seconds or less is a bit too much. It breaks immersion with the game, and really ends up being far more frustrating to play than it ought to be. Lower the ad threshold and I’ll be back. ### 2/5 — Ads are an Issue *2020-11-21, version 1.40* The game is definitely fun, but the issue for me is that the adds pop up at really inconvenient times and mess everything up. ### 3/5 — Can’t skip/pause tutorial *2020-08-30, version 1.40* I didn’t get past the first shape, because there was no way to pause the game, and set my preferences. When I play a game, I want to turn off the background music, the audio feedback, and the ads. If I have to pay a bit of money to do that, it’s fine. It’s a couple of bucks, and I can move on. Immediately as I open the app, really annoying ad which is pulling focus and moving shows up on the top of my screen. The music starts. The blocks make all kinds of noises. I want none of that to annoy me. The app forces that tutorial, with no way to pause it and set prefs, or skip it. Downloaded, had fun for all of five seconds, got annoyed that I couldn’t turn off annoyances, and then promptly deleted it. ### 1/5 — Don’t give them a dime *2020-07-18, version 1.40* Enjoy the game greatly as a Tetris-like game to zone out to. The game plays tons of ads but has a paid way to remove them. I attempted to purchase this ad removal and the game told me the payment failed. The game charged my account but still played the ads. I attempted refreshing and reprocessing the payment. In the end the app charged me three times and still plays ads. Two weeks ago today I emailed their support. Five days and four emails later they finally reached back out, apologizing for the “bug” and asking if I’d connected the app on Facebook or tried refreshing the payments. I’ve sent five more emails explaining what I’ve attempted with screenshots of the issue, asking for help of any kind, and asking for a refund on the two extra payments. I truly like the game and would be willing to pay to remove the ads, but by now they still have yet to respond again, the game still plays ads, and I’m done. I’ve asked for a full refund five days ago and still have not heard from them nor seen my refund. Enjoy the game, but don’t give them anything. I’m extremely disappointed. 👎 ### 1/5 — Purchased remove ads but always fails *2020-01-12, version 1.40* After charging me, the app always says purchase failed. The app is unplayable with ads hounding you (way overkill!) Even trying to repurchase remove ads still fails although Apple gratefully doesn’t allow them to charge you multiple times. ### 2/5 — Ads *2019-12-31, version 1.40* Fun game when you’re not watching ads. Paid for no ads and still getting ads for Apple Arcade over and over again ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — To many ads *2024-04-23* It hurts to even play this game. It’s got a good concept but it shouldn’t have ads every 20 seconds of gameplay. Would love to continue to play but it is unfortunately impossible to even enjoy trying to get past 10,000 points. Also the main menu is a little confusing no tutorial to tell you what’s what. 0.1 stars out of 5 in my opinion. ### 1/5 — So many ads. *2022-08-23* Every time you clear a line or two there’s an ad. You spend more time watching ads than playing it’s aweful. ### 1/5 — Fun game, scammy “no ads” option *2022-02-15, version 1.40* I purchased the no ads option, but the game took my money and said that the purchase failed (despite the transaction being registered in the appstore). Multiple other reviews have stated that this is a problem, some from two years ago, yet this still hasn’t been fixed. This seems less like a bug and more like an intentionally designed money-pit for the developers. ### 1/5 — Try to play 2 MIN w/out an ad! *2022-01-13* Insane… who in the world is someone supposed to try a game with ad after ad after ad all within 2-3 minutes of play… jeez…. ### 1/5 — Ads.. *2021-06-22, version 1.40* Like most other reviews, I have come to say that this game has an overwhelming amount of ads. The “X” pops up after a few seconds, but then doesn’t let me press it to skip. Which means I have to watch a 20+ second ad every 30 seconds. You’d make more money with less ads. The game would be more enjoyable and you’d attract more players which would help you make a bigger profit in the long run. Take other big games for example. Clash of Clans doesn’t have ads; Instead they use in app purchases to make money. ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2021-04-22* I’m watching ads more often than playing the game ### 1/5 — ADS *2021-03-30, version 1.40* This game has a fun concept and seems like I would really enjoy it. I wouldnt know for sure as I quit very soon after realizing there is an ad after every single level. For context, a level takes maybe 5 seconds. You spend more time watching add than playing the actual game. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — No support *2021-03-29, version 1.40* I paid for this game to removve ads 24 hours ago and it still has ads . Would not be worth 1 star if you don't remove ads its buried in ads . Im going to report to apple to cancel my charge if not approved soon .Always has been instant approved til this one ### 1/5 — so many ads *2020-12-23* the amount of ads ruin the flow of the game. literally an ad every 15 seconds. ### 1/5 — Paid version doesn’t work *2020-08-22, version 1.40* I thought this game was fun, but the ads are terrible. I tried buying the ad free version and it kept giving me errors and then would freeze up. It’s super buggy and not worth the hassle. It’s too bad cause the premise is fun! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — WOW *2022-04-14, version 1.40* I love this game. I’ve poured hours and hours into it and still never gets old. I simply love the gameplay of it. It’s the perfect difficulty and is easy to play whenever. I also love the fact how there aren’t ads every 5 seconds, although I do want to buy no ads one day… Anyways this game is just the best every, I love everything about it and love it so so much. I also really like how the colors change. The only thing I don’t like is how when you get 20,000 points it pops up on the screen for so long, maybe instead of filling the whole screen it could just be a little pop up to the side that doesn’t cover the gameplay, that is my only complaint. Other then that this is the best game every. Please download it. (I was not paid or told to make this review) Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — I love li *2021-09-06, version 1.40* Okay okay I’m okay with that game but it now has to be better than the last one game ### 5/5 — Woohoo! *2020-07-14* Really gets you using your mind! I’ve had levels that I didn’t think I’d figure out and then BAM it just clicks! ❤️ Thank you for creating such an enjoyable game I find it very relaxing too! ### 5/5 — 😄AMAZING😄 *2020-06-20, version 1.40* This game is by far my most favorite puzzle game! Since we’ve been in quarantine this game has kept me busy for a long time! This game does not need any fixes for me and going at its best rate! I hope you can keep this game going and continue adding on fun little features that other people may suggest for you! Keep Pliq AMAZING! :) ### 5/5 — Two Words *2020-06-16, version 1.40* Amazing. Game. Download this great puzzle game yourself to see for yourself. This is easily one of my favorite puzzle games. ### 5/5 — Make a set speed for the falling blocks *2020-05-04, version 1.40* I loved the game but I felt like the game was going too fast too make certain moves like the 3rd height blocks and the locking block really incovent some moves and even made it not work from time to time ### 5/5 — Wonderful but wish it had a difficulty changer *2020-03-07, version 1.40* It really brightens my day and preoccupied my time but can get too fast and hard to adapt to if it gets far enough ### 5/5 — Great concept *2019-12-08* Best thing since Tetris. Really gets your mind activated. Loves it 😍 **Developer response:** You are the best thing since Big Bang / Adam & Eve! 😍I am glad that you enjoy playing! 🤩 pliq 🤓 ### 5/5 — I need help *2019-12-07, version 1.40* I don't understand the locked cubes I always mess up at that part but the game is super fun ### 5/5 — It’s not you, it’s me *2019-12-02, version 1.40* I enjoy the game and I play at least once a day but I’m just too slow to actually be any good at it. I get to Level 2 and then just can’t keep up. But the sound effects and colors are nice and it’s a cool concept. **Developer response:** I am glad that you are enjoying as much as I do with your company! 😇 The practice is the key! 🤡Don't worry, I will make my cubes slower just for you! 😜 pliq 🤓 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
