### 4/5 — Macht Spaß

*2022-06-20*

Die beiden ersten Folgen, also NORMAL A-Y und HARD 1-13 in Tagen alle durchgespielt. Dann kommt CHALLENGE - das gefällt mir vom Spielprinzip nicht so, dann kommt der ENDLESS Modus, auch nett zu spielen, aber eher langweilig. Also insgesamt ein sehr nettes, aber zu kurzes Vergnügen. Ich war enttäuscht, dass es mit diesem Spielprinzip nicht weiterging. Auf jeden Fall aber gut, um sich mal kurzfristig zu konzentrieren und einige Züge im Vorraus zu planen. Vielleicht kommt ja noch ein VERY HARD dazu ?

### 4/5 — Hübsches Candy Crush

*2022-06-17*

Wer Match-3-Games mag, macht hier nichts falsch: nett aufgemacht mit jazziger Musik. Gameplay ist natürlich stark glücksabhängig, aber mit ein paar Karten, um den Glück auf die Sprünge zu helfen.

### 5/5 — Addicting

*2017-02-05*

Love this game... wish there were more levels regularly added.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2016-12-12*

Fun & logical game. The more you play, the more you want to play!!

### 5/5 — Love it, but need more!

*2016-12-10, version 1.0.2*

I really love this game! It starts out pretty easy but gets challenging! I love the "Challenge" levels best of all, but wish there were more of them! This is one of the few games I would be willing to pay to get more of those levels.

### 4/5 — Good game! Could be great with some additional options.

*2016-11-30*

In the endless version, I would like the bonus cards to continue to add up instead of only when you use one. Also, would like to see multipliers when you make a match which causes a second wave of matches, & a third, & so on.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2016-11-19*

This game is awesome! It's like chess - you have to plan three to five steps ahead. Some people complain about randomness and luck, but I see the challenge it presents, and it's been awesome!

Thanks!

### 5/5 — Top notch puzzle action

*2016-10-28*

Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — So addictive!

*2016-09-09*

One of my favorite games by far. I played this game endlessly and beat all the levels in like two weeks. Now I've been playing the "Endless" level nonstop trying to work my way up the leader board. Crossing my fingers that more levels come out.

### 4/5 — Fun and addictive!  New glitches added, though

*2016-09-05*

This game drew me in and I keep going back to it. Each level is a little trickier to keep it interesting!  The new update has a glitch where skulls explode, even though I've used the power up to extend them- not as frequently as in the previous version, but it still happens. Please fix this.

### 5/5 — I love it!

*2016-06-26*

Great game, the more you play the sharper you get!

### 3/5 — Great Game, but...

*2016-06-07, version 1.0.1*

There's a new glitch that erases your power-ups when resuming gauntlet mode. This makes strategic power-up use nearly impossible. Five stars if this issue is resolved. 
Also, endless mode seems a bit pointless.

### 3/5 — Its not winable

*2016-05-30, version 1.0.1*

I got to level Z3 and it doesn't seem to go past that because I have played it at least 3 dozen times and no matter what combination I do I always loose. Its fixed because they probably haven't designed passed that.

### 2/5 — Glitch??

*2016-05-21, version 1.0.1*

I really enjoy this game, especially after the latest update with new levels.  One can earn 3 power-ups. Very helpful as the levels get harder and harder. Got to W level ( A to Z) and the 3 power ups disappeared! There's no indication that this is supposed to happen. What gives??

### 5/5 — Loved this game!!

*2016-05-20, version 1.0*

I rarely write reviews, but this is a highly addictive and entertaining game. I played off and on for sometime and beat every level!! It was exhilarating. The frustration with some of the harder levels accompanied by the thrill of finally beating it was great!!

### 3/5 — Love game. Battery buster

*2016-05-20, version 1.0.1*

I love this game. It's incredibly addictive and really fun to play. It's also an incredible battery hog that can wear my battery down faster than anything I've ever seen. I hope further versions are more battery efficient.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2016-05-19, version 1.0.1*

Starts okay and the challenges are interesting but the hard levels require too much luck and are frustrating and not very rewarding.

### 2/5 — Fun but drains battery and slows iOS

*2016-05-15, version 1.0.1*

This game is fun but it appears to be the largest consumer of battery life of any app on my phone. Even when it is running in the background, it appears to slow down iOS until it is forced closed.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — BS to the Max!

*2018-01-14*

Set-ups that make completion nearly impossible. Some of the puzzles were so lopsided I failed the puzzle 5 times before i destroyed 7 of the squares i was supposed to destroy—and i was supposed to destroy 40! Get the picture.

### 1/5 — Frozen game

*2016-05-08, version 1.0*

Loved this game, but now it is completely frozen. I can't delete either. I have tried contacting app support for Fallen Tree Games, and it says page not found. Kind of fishy. Wish I had never downloaded.

### 1/5 — App Crashed

*2016-04-15, version 1.0*

Unable to use app. Completely crashed. Unable to delete and reinstall. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2016-04-14, version 1.0*

This was my favorite game on my phone and I almost beat it until it stopped working. The app won't open at all, and it won't even let me delete it off my phone. When I go into the App Store, there are no new updates for it and when I hit "open", it doesn't do anything. Please fix!

### 1/5 — Last Nerve

*2016-04-09, version 1.0*

This app did bot fully download. I can't delete it nor can I open it. It also constantly leaves my folder looking like something is loading in it. Truly deeply ANNOYING!!!!

### 1/5 — Blows up too quickly

*2016-04-08, version 1.0*

Had to skip nearly every level because matches are not possible in the time before everything blows up. Exceedingly frustrating.

### 1/5 — Not good for folks with impaired color vision

*2016-04-04, version 1.0*

An alternative set of more vivid colors or textures is necessary for someone like me.

### 1/5 — Dissatisfied!

*2016-03-28, version 1.0*

Game is too difficult! No undo button, too fast! Created anxiety rather than pleasure.

### 1/5 — Kinda dumb

*2016-03-26, version 1.0*

I don't like this game much because the skulls get stuck in a corner more often than not with nowhere to go, nothing to switch and you literally can't do anything to keep from blowing up. It's pointless and kinda dumb.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2016-11-06*

This is actually a relaxing game but I hate that the game takes you back to the beginning of the game when you have to stop playing. Usually games remember what level you have achieved and you resume play.

### 5/5 — 💀 + ❤️

*2024-01-27*

Why “the skull” (more moves) doesn’t work in higher levels (ex. In endless)? The tiles explode even though 3 moves are added, in time.
Please fix.
Thanks.

Number one game, otherwise 💯 

Peace

### 5/5 — Sophisticated, smart match game

*2021-04-06*

So glad I found this! It works great on my XS Max with iOS 14. 

There are no ads, no IAP, just a fair premium price for a great game with several different modes. Endless is my go-to when I have spare time. 

So many match games are childish-looking. This one is classy, and a clever take on the genre. You have to think, and of course there’s luck involved, but I don’t find it frustrating at all, just challenging. 

Thank you developers for a great game and for monetizing it fairly!

### 5/5 — Wow

*2020-11-29, version 1.0.3*

Hours of fun. Different challenges, getting harder and harder. 
Well done! Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Never gets old

*2020-06-30*

Of all the games I’ve had over the years this is one that has never got boring. Sure, I might not play it for a month or two, but then I open it back up and get hooked for another six months straight.

### 5/5 — A relaxing match 3 with strategy

*2020-04-25*

I really enjoy this match 3.
Its relaxing, has many variables and lets you play at your own pace. 
5 stars to the dev. *****

### 5/5 — Leider schon durch

*2020-04-21*

Nachdem man die erste Seite durchgespielt hat, wird es ein bisschen schwieriger, was aber daran liegt, dass man die spezielle Spielmechanik noch nicht verinnerlicht hat und viele gute Züge nicht sieht. Man man nicht aufgibt, wird es dann wieder leichter, und jetzt, nach ca. 2 Wochen, leider schon alles durchgespielt. War schön.

### 5/5 — Zwischendurchspiel

*2020-01-17*

Sehr schönes Spiel mit knackig steigendem Schwierigkeitsgrad, simpler Spielmechanik und vielen kleinen optischen Gimmicks.
Aber Achtung! Klospieler aufgepasst - das Spiel kann eure Sitzung deutlich verlängern!
Sehr empfehlenswert und sehr wichtig: Kein Abo!

### 5/5 — Absolute winner!

*2019-01-17, version 1.0.2*

I play this game for years, it is an absolute match 3 winner, i don’t understand the hype around Candy and the likes while this one is on top of all match three puzzles and quite unknown from its birth. Thanks devs

### 5/5 — A great challenging game!

*2018-01-10*

I have been entertained for hours with this app.  Like Quell, it gets more challenging as you go on but there are ‘easy’ puzzles at first.  Highly recommend!
PLEASE pretty please come out with a second version.  I have restarted numerous times (other than the challenges)

### 5/5 — Süchtigmachend.

*2017-03-18*

Gutes Spiel!
