Should’ve left it alone
Impossible to complete sets
I loved the original version but it was only updating for android devices, so I gave up. I recently started the new version, but it’s incredibly frustrating that you can’t earn certain characters after the event—specifically, the pursuit of dreams characters. Also, the zoom is clumsy.
The old version was better
Tried to at least be positive
Don’t waste your time

你们游戏策划有脑子吗
bad feeling factor within the game
Miss the old version :(
To much ads
Adverts galore
Decent overall game
A money hungry loss of a great game
Now here I am returning to this game, corporate greed has left it as a hollow shell that echoes a game long gone. Not only is it worse than original it’s not even halfway decent.
Truly this game is terrible if you want to follow a candy crush style level system, and watch ads before and after a short puzzle be my guest. The original taught me about architecture of all sorts which this one does too, but it’s so deformed it doesn’t feel nearly as potent.
This game used to be above competition far superior than anything else, now it is the dregs of 3d puzzle games.
This likely won’t be seen but if a Minmax employee is reading this please fix it. Yes your company may make more money now but it has lost all faith I once had. Even sell the og game as a $5 premium version, no doubt you’ll remedy some of the pain you’ve caused.
But I’ll just say Minmax is a great example of how a charming indie studio can be overtaken by greed.
Do better…
Go back to the Old Version
It’s not bad but it could be better
Additionally, I have three stars on every other level but I cannot get three stars on 9-6 for the life of me and I’ve done it at least 20 times by this point. Both fast and accurate and I still cannot ace it. It’s kind of unaesthetic to see a bunch of three stars and a random one star so if you could try to fix that level because I no longer think it’s me making mistakes on it anymore.
In summary, I think the original was way better than this new update, but as I said, it’s not horrible. And please, please, please fix level 9-6 because it’s really aggravating me.
Older version was better
Purchasing “remove ads” doesn’t help
I wanna note that the app pretty quickly pushes you to buy an add-on that supposedly removes these ads. I happily bought it, but unfortunately there are still a ton of “optional” ads. I say “optional” because the game mechanics forces you to watch ads if you want to play at any sort of reasonable pace.
Let me explain: Essentially you have to use a certain amount of “stamina” to play any one level. You get stamina by watching ads, or waiting for the stamina bar to fill up over time. This slightly annoyed me, having bought the add-on — but I thought, “fine, I’ll wait and do a few levels a day.” A reasonable pace, no?
The trick is, you also have to gamble this stamina in order to get “shards” to unlock the next level, before you can actually play it. If this sounds confusing that’s because, well, it is!
What this all means though is that you have to wait potentially days(!) just to play a *single* level. This isn’t a reasonable pace. Of course, the alternative is that you can watch a ton of “optional” ads and gain more stamina that way.
Today I decided to try that, as I still hadn’t gotten enough “shards” to move forward despite checking over many hours. And guess what? It took roughly 10 ads for me to get enough shards to finally play the next puzzle. That’s nearly 30 minutes… of ads!
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mind some ads, especially in free games — developers need to eat, too! But I paid $5 to remove ads, and here I am watching ads!
For what it’s worth I would’ve paid $10 or even $15 to remove all ads. But unfortunately this is an app that uses ads as an essential currency. You can only avoid them so long before you hit a serious wall and can go no further.
2 stars: 1 because building itself is fun (when you actually get to do it); and 1 because I’m glad they kept the music from the original version of the game. It’s very soothing
I hope the devs see this review and reconsider the way they approach their apps. There is a less scummy way to make money than this - and that is by investing in the experience of the game, rather than demolishing it.
