Nice and festive and not super difficult. Worth downloading. ### 5/5 — Fun so far *2018-10-14, version 1.2* Just started to play. We will see if it turns into a “pay to play game” ### 5/5 — A lot of fun! *2018-09-24, version 1.2* I’m a beginner, and I’m having a lot of fun playing this game! ### 5/5 — Challenging and fun *2018-09-15, version 1.2* You’ll enjoy playing this game whether you win or not. ### 4/5 — Sweet Smash *2018-09-12, version 1.2* I had the app before but I needed space for something else. I can't remember if we can go through Facebook and I can't find anywhere if I can. Maybe later in the game. ### 5/5 — sweet smash *2018-08-03, version 1.2* very entertaining for my granddaughter nannies3 08-03-18 ### 5/5 — Pamba *2018-02-22, version 1.2* Love the game!

I have to watch a video to get something free. No big deal, I’ll watch the video. The only problem is after I watch the video, it won’t let me play, it goes back into “watch this video” crap. Force quit doesn’t work, turning off internet access doesn’t work. Just a perpetual loop until I’ve watched the video a crap-ton of times. ### 1/5 — Way overrated at 4.6 stars. *2018-11-11, version 1.2* The music is great and so is the look of the playing pieces. It is impossible to get past stage 10 and or get three stars! ### 1/5 — Dont Care For It *2018-09-30, version 1.2* Boring,Sounds Need a Serious Update,Maybe Try Something a Little More Christmas Instead Of Pinball..Deleting.. ### 1/5 — Lots of ads *2017-12-12, version 1.2* Every couple of levels your hit with annoying ads ### 3/5 — Please fix the Pink Candy.. *2024-03-12, version 2.0* Hi to all that read this, This game is good to play & all, but once you reach a few levels with the Pink Candy Cain’s, they alway come out last once you’ve completed the game, then we’re waiting on the Pink Candy Cains, to come out of its box... During the games, not many come out anyways.. Please fix the Pink Candy Cain’s so that they come out more thanks!! Can something be done about this please?. This in advance.. ### 3/5 — Ads *2018-11-05, version 1.2* Far too many ads for me. I’m deleting the app. ### 3/5 — Fun Until Game 17 *2017-12-27, version 1.2* Good luck getting 52 green. No game should be this difficult at this early stage. I deleted the game. ### 4/5 — Game *2019-10-21, version 1.4* It shows that you can buy the boosters with coins, but when you try, it just shows what it can do. Why can't you buy the boosters? ### 4/5 — Loads of fun *2018-11-27, version 1.2* Great way to pass the time ### 4/5 — Sweet *2018-11-18, version 1.2* Fun and quite KC for if u have a little time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Christmas cookies *2021-09-27, version 1.5.0* Good game, but very har! ### 5/5 — Fun for the holidays *2019-12-22, version 1.5.0* Easy to play.
