### 4/5 — Ótimo

### 5/5 — Let's party

*2017-01-15*

I enjoy playing this game, but I find it does get harder and harder along the way

### 5/5 — Thankful that it helps my motion sickness

*2016-11-05*

This is a favorite of mine. Time sure flies playing this game. I have found this is a great game when riding in the car when I'm feeling  car sick. It seems to really help me with the motion sickness and also makes time go quicker. To top it off I seem to get better scores when on the road believe it or not.
Thanks to the game maker for making long rides easier on me.

### 5/5 — Addictive!

*2016-05-17, version 1.9.1*

Best simple game in forever! Highly addictive, relaxing music, and unending play.

### 4/5 — I never win

*2016-03-19, version 1.9.1*

This is a very frustrating game. I win several rounds then at the end the score flips and I never win. I like the process of the game but I would like to win  every once in a while. I can't believe I am the only one with this problem

### 5/5 — Super amusant et relaxant

*2015-12-16*

J'adore

### 4/5 — Rainbow Blocks

*2015-10-09, version 1.9.1*

Enjoy very much. Like the change for seasonal blocks. Think think the Halloween one is improved.

### 5/5 — 優しい色合い

*2015-08-06*

単純なようで、奥深い。
次は高得点、次は限りなく余りを減らして…と夢中になります。
ソシャゲの体力回復待ちのときなど、空き時間に最高の暇つぶし。

I love to play this!  Having multiple themes keeps it fresh.....and no purchases are needed to be successful!

### 4/5 — Great fun

*2014-12-25, version 1.9.1*

I love playing this game. I can play anytime, anywhere, and I never get bored.  Thanks for the fun!

### 5/5 — Great Game!!

*2014-11-24, version 1.9.1*

So fun! Easy to play, super entertaining. I've loved this game for YEARS now. It's an old trusty that's always fun.

### 5/5 — Nicely Done

*2014-08-20, version 1.9.1*

If you want a relaxing game that has attractive visuals and a nice soundtrack, this is a good download.  A good game for stress relief.

### 5/5 — Great for the Mind

*2014-08-12, version 1.9.1*

This is a really enjoyable game. I love trying to continually improve my scores on a "personal best" level, but I also enjoy keeping my mind working while I have fun. Planning head for maximum point is great mind exercise.

### 5/5 — 暇つぶしには最適

*2014-06-23*

ハマります

### 5/5 — Fun and easy to play

*2014-06-15, version 1.9.1*

Always good to play. Easy and challenging. Good for filling in time at airports.

### 4/5 — 必らず最後までできる

*2014-03-12*

途中でギブアップということがありません。

### 5/5 — Addictive, satisfying and quick

*2013-12-26*

My wife and I compete for the high scores daily. 

My only complaint is that it seems it is not always possible to solve each level perfectly. As a perfectionist I'd like to know that if I made no mistakes there is a solution that ends with 100% clear every time. I quite sure that this is too random to be true for this game.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Just a lot of fun!

*2013-07-15, version 1.9.1*

Want to just have fun? This would be the game to do it. A fun, fun time.

### 1/5 — Boring boring boring

*2011-10-15, version 1.6.2*

Pointless. No strategy involved. A very suspect set of reviews before this one. It's not addictive - that sensation is utter tedium. Yawn.

### 1/5 — Rainbow Blocks - Not a Blockbuster!

*2011-01-03*

I read other reviews before purchasing this game. They were so positive about it. Maybe I'm missing something. I have played it several times and see no real meaning to it and no real thought involved in playing it other than to tap different blocks to see what happens. Sometimes they disappear and points are awarded. Other times nothing happens when blocks are tapped. Rainbow blocks rearrange surrounding blocks before disappearing from the game, but I see no real strategy in using them to do this. The game host keeps saying I'm doing great and keeps moving my level and point goal higher and higher, but I have already attained that goal before I even start playing! There must be some strategy involved in choosing the right blocks to get the most points, but it is a mystery to me.

### 1/5 — Hilarous game! Love the graphics! Love everything about it!

*2010-05-01*

Self-explanatory title. Beginning is hard to understand how to play, but basically you just flick the snot at the stickmen like you were holding a sling. (So you pull back the snot at the exact opposite location as where you want it to hit) Once you get the hang of the controls, just get trigger happy! Wonderful graphics and interesting attacks. Replay value also very high.

Only downside is it sometimes deletes my previous game records and I have to start all over again. Hopefully this would be fixed in later updates.

I'd say just get it!

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2020-10-14*

At the end of the round the blocks overlap, and the game is messed up.  When  the game is working right it’s great, but when it’s not it’s pretty bad. Please fix, cause I do like the game.

### 2/5 — Latest update buggy

*2012-04-16, version 1.8.2*

Nice game but the lastest update is buggy; the colour-change blocks are not working properly and will crash the game.

### 2/5 — Needs upgrade

*2010-12-29, version 1.4*

If you don't reach a target, you have to start the game from scratch. So, if you get to say level 17 then bomb out, back to level 1. Should be able return to replay the level till you reach your target

### 3/5 — Fun but frustrating.

*2013-07-15, version 1.9.1*

I enjoy playing but is it possible to win???

### 3/5 — 楽しいです。

*2013-06-23*

なるべく一つでも多く消すために、頭を使うのが苦労だけど、普通に楽しいです。

### 3/5 — zaksnanxo

*2013-06-19, version 1.9.1*

*2020-10-05*

I used to play this all the time but it would crash and freeze so I deleted the app.  While looking for a similar one I came across the update with the crash issues fixed thanks love thi game

### 5/5 — Bug in game

*2019-11-18*

Reported problems with simple game multiple times. The do not even attempt to repair bug!

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you've been experiencing a problem with Rainbow Blocks.

While I've had a few reports of this issue, I've not been able to reproduce it myself, which makes it very hard to fix.

Please supply any details you have that might help, such as the model of iPhone or iPad you are using, your iOS version, and the steps leading up to the bug occurring.

When the bug next occurs, you might want to try force-quitting the app. The game should remember your place when re-opened, but hopefully quitting the app will reset the bug, at least temporarily.
