So, there is a shein advertisement that keeps re-directing me to their website when i’m in the middle of playing even though i never clicked on the ad. And actually, even when the ad isn’t on the bottom part of the screen, it still re-directs me to their website randomly. It gets really annoying. But i understand that the people who run this company/game are most likely not aware of this, so i’m super sorry giving a low rating, but if i gave it five stars, i feel it would most likely be ignored since its a “good rating.” i really hope you see this! thank you and goodbye🫶:) ### 2/5 — SHEIN add ruins game *2026-08-14, version 1.8.6* Game is fun but all of a sudden it started to just pull me to a SHEIN webpage every 6 blocks placed or so ### 2/5 — Fun game but ad breaks mid game *2026-08-13, version 1.8.6* I understand you need to have ads on a free game. But mid game ad breaks are crossing the line for me. Deleted this game because of that. ### 4/5 — Not a bad game *2026-08-13, version 1.8.6* Not a bad game, exactly as advertised, very few ads. Gets boring so quick. As long as you are semi smart you are able to figure out how to place the colors so you never lose. Difficulty does not increase the longer you play either. So, I wouldn’t not recommend it, you’ll probably just delete it quickly. ### 4/5 — Actually fun *2026-08-09, version 1.8.3* When you’re bored this game is actually pretty fun! The only thing I would say is it has a TON of ads and it gets a bit annoying ### 2/5 — Scam -Redirecting to multiple ADs *2026-08-05, version 1.8.1* It’s a shame because this was a fun game and it was rather enjoyable. I only had it downloaded for about an hour but after a few plays it began redirecting me to shein on my web browser. There was no ad for it, I wasn’t clicking on anything -just playing the game but it continued on so much that it was a nuisance. With that being said I deleted the app and now I’m here warning the next person 🥲 ### 3/5 — It’s good but.. *2026-08-04, version 1.8.1* It feels like the shape of the block doesn’t matter. I got to a score of 299,410 just dropping every single block in the centre of the screen because it made a little pyramid where every shape and colour of block would roll and hit the sides and clear itself. I’m not sure how you would fix that issue but once i realised I could do that reliably, the game sort of just lost all meaning. But it was great until then, thanks for making it. ### 2/5 — Great game *2026-07-31, version 1.8.1* It’s a fab game but the constant ads are so annoying. I lose interest. I am deleting it. ### 4/5 — Satisfactory but doesn’t work sometimes *2026-07-26, version 1.8.1* Sometimes it will make invisible blocks that can’t be moved, serve as dead space, and can’t clear them. It makes a road block for colors and acts like a barrier. ### 2/5 — App is broken at times *2026-07-11, version 1.7.9* The daily login never gives you the last 100 crystals its the second time it has happened ### 4/5 — Fun but one big issue *2026-07-09, version 1.7.9* The game is rigged to not give you the colors you need, when it should be completely random. It’s annoying and makes losses quicker and therefore the game less fun ### 3/5 — Good but problems *2026-06-26, version 1.7.8* The games fun but sometimes there’s invisible sand that you can’t get rid of and it gets in the way. I hope the game gets an update. ### 4/5 — как в это играть? *2026-06-01, version 1.7.8* ставлю больше 4 песка одного цвета, он не убирается и доходит в итоге до линии и уровень не пройден.. что я делаю не так ### 2/5 — Really annoying compared to alternatives *2026-05-31, version 1.7.8* A ton of random adds, and sometimes it gives you no matching colors and annoying popups, I find alternatives like block blast to be more enjoyable ### 2/5 — Trash Game *2026-05-20, version 1.7.8* This game makes no sense at all. I’ll stack all the way from the bottom to the top without a color match. Like how is that possible?? With ALL OF THE COLORS, I cant get a colors match?! NOT EVEN ONCE?! Cool it’s a strategy game, but if I can’t even implement strategy, how am I supposed to play?! ### 4/5 — Amazing but one issue *2026-05-14, version 1.7.8* Could u pleeeeeeeease get rid of ads if not it’s ok because they are not too frequently forced ads but other than that it is a great game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — . *2026-08-27, version 1.8.8* This was a wonderful game that I played for a very long time, and as it turns out, I haven't updated it in a long time. The old graphics were very smooth and pleasant. But recently, for some reason, I decided to update the app, I don't know why, because there was a huge mistake. I don't know how long ago this terrible update was released. Shame on the developers. I'm deleting the app. By the way, my highscore was 34 million. ### 1/5 — Jesus Christ *2026-08-18, version 1.8.6* Longest ad I’ve ever been tortured with ### 1/5 — SHEIN and other ads *2026-08-14, version 1.8.6* I know I know u have to have ads but for some reason without even clicking on the little box or having my finger near the box it opens up the link attached over and over and over again while playing ngl everything else is fun but having to do that so many time is so annoying especially when later you have to go back and close out of all those identical tabs it has left open in your safari maybe it’s just my phone but I gotta delete ### 1/5 — Обман *2026-08-09* Сначала рандомные цвета, потом начинаются специально каждый раз из трёх - два одинаковых цвета выпадает, сначала пара красных, потом пара синих, потом пара зелёных, розовых и так далее, от чего собирается горка и невозможно её удалять **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Спасибо за отзыв. Обратите внимание, что блоки в игре генерируются случайным образом, чтобы сделать игровой процесс более интересным и сложным. Кроме того, вы можете использовать усиление «Волшебная палочка», чтобы убрать любой цвет с игрового поля и создать лучшие возможности для объединения блоков, что позволит набрать больше очков.

Entirely pulled me out of what I was doing. ### 1/5 — Sand blast ADS *2026-08-05, version 1.8.1* Enjoyed the game but would get redirected to ads I was not even clicking to scam sites. So much so that I deleted the game and urge others to be cautious as well. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-07-16, version 1.7.9* Deleted after first ad break idk who you think you are ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2026-06-25, version 1.7.8* Great game made unplayable by way too many ads ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-05-08, version 1.7.8* Too many ads ### 1/5 — Privacy Policy and statement of collected data are different *2026-04-21, version 1.7.8* Essentially, the title. Collects and links your info to you, then sells it despite saying it doesn’t in the App Store— this is including your IP address. Not good. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-15, version 1.8.6* Yo this game is genuinely good. It takes a bunch of searching to find a good game and honestly I love this game ### 5/5 — best game ever *2026-08-06, version 1.8.1* balls ### 5/5 — So cool!!!!! 🏝️🏝️🏝️ *2026-06-22, version 1.7.8* This review is gonna be great it’s relaxing fun and everything! I don’t wanna make this to long but……… THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST GAME EVER ### 5/5 — [Left blank intentionally] *2026-04-22, version 1.7.8* This is one of the best Tetris (I wouldn’t say rip off but) branch off games I’ve ever played, I play this more than Block Blast and I have to say, its an amazing way to spend time, not only is it strategic but it’s also one of the games that doesn’t bombard you with adds every second. One of the best games i’ve ever played. ### 5/5 — Super *2026-02-08* Le jeu est super. Rien de plus a ajouter. ### 5/5 — くそげー *2026-01-09* うんこ ### 5/5 — Leaderboard potentially? *2025-12-19, version 1.7.4* Great game, love it. I’m currently 400,000 points into a run and would love the addition of a leaderboard. Although it’s a chill game, adding a bit of a competitive aspect would be nice. Again, good work on the game. ### 5/5 — Deer Sand Shape?! *2025-12-16, version 1.7.4* Ummm…loved the random little sand reindeer shape when I lost and restarted the game! ### 5/5 — Fun game *2025-12-06, version 1.7.1* So fun and helps with boredom ### 5/5 — not too easy, not too challenging *2025-12-05, version 1.7.1* Interesting game. At first I didn’t see how it could work and thought it would be super hard. But it’s just the right amount of difficulty to keep your attention and it’s fun to find new methods to matching the sand. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
