Now I am stuck at a level where ads are a must to get through the level… disappointing ### 2/5 — NOT AS ADVERTISED, BORING *2026-07-31, version 8.6* The add shows much more tubes but it only gets to as challenging as 8-10 😞 ### 2/5 — Please Stop Ruining This Game *2026-07-25, version 8.6* I want to start off and say that I absolutely loved this game for years. But then recently, they completely revamped the appearance of the game and took away light backgrounds. I am colorblind, and the light background made it easier for me to distinguish between colors. I would generally be OK with that, and if it helps anyone, if you’re on iOS, you can make filter adjustments geared towards different levels of color blindness that help tremendously. One of the features I loved was being able to compete against other players. But the revamp had them completely removed that option. Now most recently as of July 24, 2026, if you failed to solve a level and so you want to try again, you can’t do it. For years, you would work on a level until you solve it. But now, for some reason, if you fail at a level, it will say you’re on the same level still but it will give you a completely different layout each time. So now the level indicator is just really how many games have you beaten not were you able to beat that level. This sucks because it was truly one of my favorite games, and all the changes they’ve made have just made it worse really can’t be bothered to wanna play it anymore. ### 3/5 — Precisa atualizar *2026-07-12* Esse jogo é gostoso mas está desatualizado, para que precisa de peças de quebra cabeça se não existe um para ser montado há meses? **Developer response:** Obrigado por seus comentários. Entendemos a sua preocupação com a falta de atualizações e quebra-cabeças. Estamos trabalhando para melhorar isso. Agradecemos sua paciência. ### 2/5 — New Update ruined it on iPad *2026-07-08, version 8.5* The game on iPad is all zoomed in now meaning you can’t even access the UI controls around the edge. It was working fine until the latest update. Game is barely playable but you can’t reset the puzzle nor see any other game details. ### 4/5 — Не работает *2026-07-07* Перестало работать, колесико крутится бесконечно!!!!!! Прям вечный двигатель😉 **Developer response:** Здравствуйте, вы можете нажать на кнопку настроек и воспользоваться функцией обратной связи, чтобы сообщить нам о данной проблеме, и наша специализированная команда поможет вам решить её~. ### 1/5 — Не работает!!! *2026-06-29* Не работает, не открывается!!! **Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв. Мы понимаем вашу озабоченность по поводу проблем с запуском приложения. Мы уже зафиксировали это для оценки и улучшения вашего опыта. ### 1/5 — Why did they ruin it? *2026-06-19, version 8.5* I absolutely loved this game. I could play levels at my own pace, with a white background, I could discern colors well, or I could play daily challenges that were tougher, or even compete against other solvers. They tool ALL of that away. No more playing against other players. All the backgrounds are dark, making the colors harder for me to see. The colorblind options makes some colors I couldn’t discern obvious, but then other colors I could discern, now meld together. The daily challenges are gone, replaced with just large bottle challenges. The bottles are smaller, so the colors are smaller asking them harder to discern for people like me. I played this game religiously almost every day. Now I’m probably going to delete it, because as I was getting “good” and starting to feel like the multiplayer challenges were honing my skills, now I just feel like I’m wasting my time on a game that got so much worse. I really wish I could get the old version back. ### 1/5 — It idiot game *2026-06-18, version 8.5* It made me throw my iPad in the firepit and my dog ate it and ate it again ### 2/5 — donada ele n carregou *2026-06-18* ódio **Developer response:** Obrigado pelo seu feedback. Lamentamos que sua experiência não tenha sido a esperada. Registramos suas preocupações e estamos trabalhando para melhorar o jogo, com a esperança de reverter sua opinião no futuro. ### 1/5 — Невозможно играть *2026-06-16* Очень много рекламы, иногда она просто не закрывается! **Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв. Мы сожалеем, что реклама мешает игровому опыту. Мы приняли к сведению ваши замечания и работаем над улучшением. Надеемся, что будущие обновления изменят ваше мнение. ### 1/5 — Too many ads!!!! *2026-06-15, version 8.5* The ads on this game are ridiculous! After every single round there is an advert! And the ads are sneaky ads that make it seem like an update to the game. Uninstalled!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Level 101 unpassable *2026-08-23, version 8.7* In the bottom right corner of level 101 is a bottle of mystery colors that do not ever reveal even when all the rest of the board is finished, so the game progress stops for this unpassable level. Helps don’t uncover them either. It’s a waste of money for helps, but also, I had just purchased ad-free and can’t play the game now. Please fix this level! I would like to leave a 5 star review but can’t while the game is broken. ### 1/5 — Без заголовка *2026-08-15* Игра на «скоротать время». Очень много рекламы и она пздц какая долгая. Пока смотришь рекламу, телефон адски нагревается и в конце вообще игра может вылететь. Соответственно уровень теряется. Раздражают 2 зеленых цвета. Цвета закончились? В игре периодически происходит мухлёж : в пустой колбе помещается 4 стакана. Но иногда она заполняется за три ! Несколько раз такое замечала, специально отматывала ходы назад. Это делается для того чтоб не оставалось ходов и чтоб смотреть рекламу для разблокировки пустой колбы. **Developer response:** Понимаем ваше раздражение из-за долгой рекламы, нагрева телефона и вылетов с потерей уровня. Также учтём замечание о цветах. Мы передали обратную связь команде на оценку и надеемся улучшить ваш опыт в будущих обновлениях. ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2026-08-04, version 8.6* I’ve only been playing this game for about a month. Since that time, they have increased the ads so much that it’s virtually unplayable. I was the 2nd most active user for last month. Deleting the app now ### 1/5 — Overheats iphone17 *2026-08-03, version 8.6* Overheats iphone17 ### 1/5 — 22 July 2026 significant game changes feel very disappointing *2026-07-26, version 8.6* I feel really disappointed by the recent changes to this game. The reward system has been removed, and if you fail a puzzle, you no longer get the opportunity to complete it because a new puzzle immediately replaces it. These are significant changes to the core gameplay, yet there was no warning or notification to players. It feels like the focus has shifted away from providing an enjoyable user experience and towards increasing monetisation and profit. I understand that games evolve, but major gameplay changes should be communicated clearly, and developers should consider what players actually value and enjoy. At the moment, these changes have made the game much less enjoyable for me. ### 1/5 — ( *2026-07-25* Не грузится **Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв. Мы понимаем, что у вас возникли проблемы с загрузкой. Ваш отзыв отмечен для проверки, и мы надеемся улучшить ваш опыт в будущем. ### 1/5 — They ruined it!!! *2026-07-25, version 8.6* For some reason every time you lose now you get a completely different new puzzle. What’s the challenge on that??? It sucks now! ### 1/5 — The app is not opening *2026-07-13* I liked this app a lot the UI is very good. But it is not getting open in my i phone i tried unistalling and installing 2-3 times still it is not working. **Developer response:** Hello, the issue you reported has been resolved in the new version.

The game is in a kind of zoom in mode and you can’t press some options ### 1/5 — Now unplayable *2026-07-06, version 8.5* After latest update the screen image is much larger and only a portion of the puzzle is shown on iPad Air, cutting off controls. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love *2026-08-03, version 8.6* Love at first sight holla ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-25, version 8.6* New update fixed previous bug. ### 5/5 — Love *2026-07-24, version 8.6* Great app so relaxing ### 5/5 — Paulette *2026-07-19, version 8.6* Great Game ### 5/5 — SortPuz - Water Sort *2026-07-14* Eu amei esse jogo por acaso. **Developer response:** Muito obrigado por amar o nosso jogo!
