### 4/5 — Runefall

*2026-05-30, version 1.115*

Good game but too many adverts!

### 4/5 — Alright!

*2025-09-28, version 1.111*

I enjoy this game but there are waaay to many ads if you want to play for free. They really push the in-app purchases. I also don’t enjoy the fact that I can collect all these bonuses like gold and wood and other things but I can’t seem to find where I can use them. They can’t be used for more moves or to add time. What the heck am I collecting them for?

### 1/5 — Not enjoyable anymore

*2025-09-04, version 1.110*

I used to like this game but it’s impossible to get thru a level without having to use gems. Cannot afford to buy gems anymore as the prices are too high and to constantly watch the same ad over and over just to get some more gems (maybe 5 gems if you’re lucky) is annoying. And the same levels recycled over and over is boring. I’ve now deleted game.

### 1/5 — New update erased ALL my wood

*2025-08-16, version 1.109*

Since the recent update all my wood has disappeared. I now have to open 2 islands with over 7000 wood each to finish level. It’s taking too long to collect wood. Please fix this problem.

### 1/5 — New update is annoying

*2025-04-14, version 1.107*

Not enjoyable since update in April 2025.  Now have a timer that’s short and when I leave the game the timer continues countdown.  No pause button when you leave game. Bring back the game before update. Can’t play anymore.

Really enjoying this game. I like that if you leave in the middle of the game it keeps your progress and takes you back to where you left off instead of starting the level all over again. The only problem I have is that even though you can make the map a bit bigger, I still can’t see the chests open/closed. But otherwise it’s a great game.

### 5/5 — Mostly good

*2024-11-12, version 1.105*

I’ve been enjoying the game, and sometimes it does test my powers of observation. I’ve got stuck once or twice when it doesn’t recognise a button tap or an item in my inventory, but they always seem to clear overnight. Some sort of reset, maybe? Anyway, this is the only match-3 game that I’ve stuck with, so they must be doing something right.

### 5/5 — Level1739

*2024-09-29, version 1.105*

Still going only one problem with spot the difference mini game find ten? It doesn’t do anything and the pictures are completely different? But still enjoying it thanks

### 5/5 — Fine game

*2024-08-26, version 1.105*

I have played this game (and MatchVenture, level 1381) for several years. I am at level 2624!

### 4/5 — Fun Match-3 With a Few Flaws

*2024-06-02, version 1.102*

Update June 2024:
- I love the tree merging minigame on the over-map & wish I could play more than twice without a timer cooldown. 
-Still hoping for Runefall 2 will come to the app store.  
-Yep, making any purchase gets rid of the horrendous ads - worth it!  

Pros: 
-Very large levels 
-Extremely chill
-Fun story integration 
-Interesting mini-puzzles in & out of levels  

Cons: 
-Cannot go back to levels, which is frustrating. I really enjoy clearing the maps entirely, using strategy to get all the objectives, but end up having to focus on primary objective & that's about all. 

-The font on the map is ridiculously tiny, & if you zoom in on the map, which is not done via gesture, but a slow + button, it resizes when you exit it.

-Lastly, please add Runefall 2 to the app store!

### 1/5 — Enjoyable initially, but fatal problems

*2024-03-22, version 1.102*

I enjoyed the Merge Venture app, and was excited about this game but found that it was heavily focused on adds for other games. Every time you finish a level you are forced into an add and they are repeat over and over. I read a response from the company to another review that was complaining about the adds, stated that any purchase would turn off the adds. I have found that is not true. I have made 2 purchases from the site, but still am getting adds. So the game is gone as far as I’m concerned.
