I do not understand why my levels, once replayed, do not update star counts even when acing the level on a retry. What's the point of a star system if you can't try to beat your scores for more stars? Seems like a glitch. Please fix it. ### 2/5 — Feels like an afterthought *2026-03-28* They obviously took a game that is solely based around microtransactions, stripped out the payment system, and dumped it on Apple Arcade. This game is cute and fun, but it constantly nags you to spend gold coins on upgrades you don’t need. I don’t care if I lose balloons or gifts when I restart a level. And when it asks me to add extra steps to a level before I even start playing, I find it obnoxious, almost like the developers are telling you the game is rigged and you have to spend gold coins to progress (which you don’t if you just grind levels over and over like I do. 😂) **Developer response:** We're really sorry for the ongoing issues with crashing, and we invite you to update game to the latest version, in which we have resolved some issues you mentioned above. Thank you for your patience and support! ### 2/5 — Perpetually Xmas? *2026-03-23* The app icon and load screen feature holiday elements with a decorated evergreen tree, Santa hats, and reindeer pulling a sleigh even though it’s March. This game is fun, but if the game devs want to add seasonal elements, they should be more consistent with the app updates since it just feels sloppy to leave the Christmas elements perpetually intact on a game called “Summer Pop.” **Developer response:** We're really sorry for the ongoing issues with crashing, and we invite you to update game to the latest version, in which we have resolved some issues you mentioned above. Thank you for your patience and support! ### 4/5 — 中国語？ *2026-03-18* 中国語でしょうか？ 英語でないの何て表示されてるのか分からない ### 3/5 — Love the game - Hate the hints *2026-03-09* This is by far my favorite game!! Recently I’ve been overwhelmingly frustrated by the hint to use the Super Surfboard power up toward the end of the game. The hint obscures the element where the power up should be applied making me guess what that element is. More than half the time I can win the level through regular gameplay if I can correctly guess what the obscured element is. The fact that the hint overlays the board until a play is made is really bad. Please provide a toggle to enable hints rather than force them on the player. Developer response requested. ### 3/5 — Just let me play the game, game! *2026-02-05* The core game is a good take on match three games, with some pretty enjoyable game modes. But its microtransaction roots are still omnipresent in the game, and it’s pretty annoying. Constant dialogs and popups try to get me to spend the in-game currency on random bits and bobs. It’s an Apple Arcade game, so they hand that out liberally and I am not technically being shaken down for money. But that almost makes it even more annoying to have to dismiss three different popups trying to “upsell” me on something just to restart a level. ### 4/5 — Fun match 3 game *2026-01-04* I enjoy playing this match 3 game, especially since it’s in Arcade and doesn’t have ads. My feature request is to add haptic feedback like Candy Crush has. Thanks! ### 2/5 — Meh *2025-12-07* Put a lot of time in. It’s made by someone that’s used to cash grabs not fun. If you like completion and planning your way through the level, this isn’t for you. ### 4/5 — Please remove fish levels *2025-11-15* Otherwise a great game! Almost at level 2000! ### 3/5 — Fun but glitchy *2025-10-11* There are pop ups that are not in English during the island games. I’m not sure if I just don’t understand how the game works or if it’s a glitch, but switching 2 special gems together usually results in the effect of just one of the gems, but occasionally combines their effects, and I can’t figure out what’s different about those times. Overall the game is fun and I haven’t gotten to a level I can’t pass after a few tries yet. I have lots of coins that never seem to run out no matter how much I buy, so that’s good. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your detailed feedback — we really appreciate it! We’re sorry about the pop-ups not showing in English during the island games — our team is already working on improving this so everything will display correctly in future updates. Regarding the special gem effects, they can be triggered either by making a match or by swapping two special gems. Different combinations create different effects. We hope this helps clarify things, and we appreciate you playing and sharing your thoughts! ### 3/5 — So boring *2025-09-23* I love a good match 3 game, and this one was okay at first, but now it’s only boring and frustrating. I have to play the same game from 8 to 15 times before I win, then repeat on the next game. Any power ups are wasted, and blow through any points accumulated. Even the “bonus points” are annoying. There’s a cute gum ball machine that “gives” you points each day, but now at least 3 days a week you strike out. Unfortunately, Apple Arcade only has a few match 3, and I’ve played them all. It may be time to drop my subscription. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for sharing your honest feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that the game has become frustrating instead of enjoyable. We understand how discouraging it can feel to replay the same level many times, and we’ll review the balance and reward system to make the experience more fun and rewarding. We also appreciate your comments about the gumball machine and bonuses. Your feedback truly helps us improve! ### 3/5 — Please make it so the islands appear! *2025-08-09* I really enjoy this game. At one point, the developers had to repair the islands so that I could see them. Once I got past their repair point, I’m not able to see the islands. If they fix this, the game will be perfect! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry you’re having trouble seeing the islands. Our team is aware of this issue and is working on a fix. We appreciate your patience, and we hope you’ll enjoy the game fully once it’s resolved! ### 3/5 — Does not work with Apple Pencil *2025-01-19* Prefer to use Apple Pencil on iPad but just draws a fine line instead of moving pieces. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry, but the game currently does not support Apple Pencil for controlling pieces. We appreciate your understanding and will take your comments into consideration for future updates. ### 4/5 — Fun *2024-12-30* It is nice to have a fun matching game without having to wait for lives or paying. Thanks. I haven’t had major game issues just little glitches where some of the areas have changed the language from English. I did send a screenshot. Not enough for me to downgrade my rating **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your love and sincere feedback. We will do our best to make the game even better and hope to bring you even more joy! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Level 736 is broke *2026-08-21* The 3 cans on the right won’t break no matter how many matches you make next to them. The level is impassable. ### 1/5 — Cheats so much, the developers act like it’s real money. *2026-07-08* I like the game but it cheats constantly & they don’t even bother to hide it. After playing it a while it becomes aggravating, & a waste of time. I’ve deleted it. **Developer response:** We're really sorry for the ongoing issues with crashing, and we invite you to update game to the latest version, in which we have resolved some issues you mentioned above. Thank you for your patience and support! ### 1/5 — 一打开就闪退 *2025-07-30, version 1.11* 能不能管一管啊，就弄个不能用的软件放上来？？ ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-07-20* As you get higher in the levels you have less information on how to clear the levels. The higher you get the more you have to guess. What worked in other levels no longer works on higher levels, so I’m left guessing the rules as it goes higher. No thanks. I’ll just cancel the Arcade membership and spend my $$$$ somewhere else. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that higher levels feel more challenging and less clear — we understand how frustrating that can be. Your comments about the level guidance and game balance are very valuable, and we’ll review them carefully to improve the experience in future updates. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. ### 1/5 — 音消えバグゲー *2025-07-15* アイテム積めばクリア出来るシステム。せこさ満載。 **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry for the sound issues you experienced and are working to fix them in future updates. We also understand that relying on items to clear levels can feel limiting, and we’ll take your comments into consideration as we continue to improve the game. We appreciate your thoughts and your support! ### 1/5 — Purposely flawed *2025-03-17* It doesn’t matter how skilled or experienced you are, you’re at the mercy of random color drops. You could play the same level ten times in a row without changing strategy and only get 3 stars twice. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We understand how frustrating it can be when level outcomes feel dependent on random drops. Your comments about level balance and strategy are very valuable, and we’ll take them into consideration as we continue to improve the game. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts! ### 1/5 — 왜 게임센터에 .. *2025-02-07* 해당 게임 게임센터에 플레이 스코어나 순위가 안나오고 한번씩 icloud 에도 로그인이 안되어 있다고 오류 납니다. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry for the issues with Game Center and iCloud login. Please make sure you’re signed into iCloud and Game Center on your device, and have a stable internet connection. Our team is also looking into improving these features to make the experience smoother. We appreciate your patience and support! ### 1/5 — 中国开发的游戏都没有中文语言 *2025-01-30, version 1.11* 中国开发的游戏没中文，多么的可悲，开发者这是多么的自卑啊。 ### 1/5 — Disappointed! *2024-10-23* You get what you pay for! **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We're dedicated to enhancing the game and would love to hear any specific feedback you have. ### 1/5 — Jeu ne se lance pas *2024-09-21* Jeu sympathique après le premier démarrage sans encombre. Ensuite impossible de le lancer de nouveau. Le jeu ne se lance plus. Vite une Update pour corriger ce problème. Merci. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with the game. Could you please let us know when the crashes occur? Your information will help us pinpoint the problem and improve the game. We appreciate your support! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-03-13* I love it! It would be amazing if you could add taptic engine/haptic feedback ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-01-09* I love this game, I play it all the time to relax. One thing that has been bothering me is the latest feature that provides “hints” on when and where to use a power up in a game to win. The problem is it doesn’t go away! It stays on the screen and blocks my view and I can’t clear it and it displays the hints even when I have no coins to afford the power up. I hope there’s a way to make the hint temporary on screen because it’s driving me mad!! But thank you for this game it’s fabulous! ### 5/5 — テンポよく爽快で楽しい *2025-10-05* アーケード版なので課金圧皆無で、疾走感と楽しさ全開の3マッチパズル。キャラが可愛い。 **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that you’re enjoying the fast-paced and fun arcade-style match-3 gameplay, and that you find the characters cute as well. Your support means a lot to us! 🌟 ### 5/5 — Awesome game!! *2025-08-19* In 10 minutes I just love this game ❤️ it’s really cute and fun 🤩 Awesome job creators!. ✨✨ (I’m over lvl 106) ✨ (btw.. why in lvl 81 u gotta bully the octopus?.. 🤔 WHAT DID THE POOR OCTOPUS DO? ☹️🤣😔😭😭😭) **Developer response:** Thank you so much! We’re so happy you’re enjoying the game. As for the poor octopus… we promise it’s tougher than it looks. Thanks for playing and sharing your fun energy with us! ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-08-13* Love this on Apple Arcade. **Developer response:** Thank you so much! We’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the game! ### 5/5 — Awesome game!! *2025-04-28, version 1.11* In 10 minutes I just love this game ❤️ it’s really cute and fun 🤩 Awesome job creators!. ### 5/5 — Wow *2025-02-12, version 1.11* 6 in a row = fantastic bird ### 5/5 — Fixed *2025-02-09* EDIT: One suggestion: in many cases, the text is not centered and/or does not have enough padding to the side. Please fix it! Many other reviews complain about crashes and not enough happy coins, but after many updates, I would say that most of the issues are fixed. It no longer crashes, and happy coins are more balanced. They are clearly reading reviews and trying to improve their game, so I would recommend this game! **Developer response:** Thank you for your suggestion! We truly appreciate your feedback on text alignment and padding, and we'll look into making those adjustments. We're glad to hear that the recent updates have improved your experience with crashes and happy coins. Your support means a lot, and we're committed to continuously enhancing the game! ### 5/5 — Bello ma… *2024-11-29* …mettete la modalità orizzontale é scomodo sull’ iPad da 13 pollici. ### 5/5 — Level 320 and it’s great! *2024-10-28* I’m really enjoying this. I find it super addictive- but after 300 levels wish there were new types of levels. I really dislike the fish ones! **Developer response:** Glad you're enjoying the game and thanks for sticking with it through 300 levels! We’re always looking for ways to add variety and keep things fresh—your feedback on the level types helps us understand what players want.
