Fun game to play

I like the update. Level 122 is BS. It is unbeatable. Cmon. The game is fun to play. It doesn’t require data. You can play it on a plane or anywhere without needing a signal unlike many games. It doesn’t try to force you buy BS. Is there gonna be like a sequel?

Great game but...

Great game that I've played for years. It's something that's fun when you get into the groove. But recently you added bonus squares and I just wanted to suggest being able to turn them off in the settings.

Finally!

Omg yes! I still play this game to this day. I though y'all forgot about this app. Glad to see an update. A long over due update

I'd like to complain about the volume, though. There's no adjusting it, if you turn the volume down on your phone, it has no affect. It stays very loud. Putting my phone on vibrate turns he sound effect off, but sometimes I want to hear it, just not so loud. Hope there's an update for this

Fun and simple

Have had this game on my iPhone from when I first got a 3G. Simple fun game with no irritating ads. Wish they still made them like this!
Now it's been updated! Good simple fun. The AI has got a little more challenging. Graphics have got better and still no ads. It's great!

great game
