### 4/5 — Mahjong dimensions

*2026-02-22, version 2.1.0*

Why does my final score show a lower score than the last game shows (example, game 12 180,000 and the final score shows160,000) ?

### 3/5 — No extra time

*2025-11-03*

The challenge times out on every game, where it didn’t before.
Something has just changed

### 2/5 — Moyen

*2024-09-09*

Pub trop longues, qui buguent sans arrêt. Pubs nulles et moches. Jeu très beau mais trop répétitif. Pas d’intérêt, pas de niveau à passer.

### 3/5 — Great Game - Hate the ads

*2024-07-10, version 1.3.78*

This is a great game, very responsive, but need a version without ads.

### 3/5 — Used to love this game

*2024-06-14, version 1.3.78*

I was able to buy premium and play without ads. Looks like this is no longer possible. Super sad.

### 4/5 — Die Werbung nervt

*2024-03-09, version 1.3.78*

Ich kenn das Spiel vom Computer. Da gibt es aber keine Werbung. Sonst macht es Spaß.

### 3/5 — Some what happy

*2024-01-20*

I started playing this game about three weeks ago and I really love it. The only downfall is that the game keeps freezing and so do the ads. I have to uninstall it and reinstall it to play. It’s disappointing. It also does it on my phone and I’ve used my best friends, phone and iPad does the same thing on hers so it can’t be our devices

**Developer response:** Hi Chell,

Thanks for your message. I am sorry to hear this. Please, write us on support@arkadium.com and we will resolve the issue for you.

### 3/5 — Ads

*2024-01-11, version 1.3.78*

Sometimes in needing more time, the ad freezes, and you need to start over.  Ad is finished and the X appears. Then another add and it freezes.  This is new.

### 4/5 — Ads lock up screen

*2023-12-31*

When ads are used for extra time in the daily challenge, the screen locks up. This started about two weeks ago. I have to close the game and restart the app.

**Developer response:** Hi Tar2010,

​Thanks for your message and sorry for your negative experience. Please, share the screenshot for us on support@arkadium.com and we will do our best to assist you. Have a good time in the game!

### 2/5 — Le jeux n’est se lance plus

*2023-11-17*

Il ne se lance pas et cela arrive souvent

**Developer response:** Hi Annicau,

Merci pour vos commentaires. Je suis désolé de l'entendre. Veuillez partager avec nous le modèle de votre appareil sur  support@arkadium.com , afin que nous puissions reproduire le problème et le résoudre. Merci pour votre patience.

### 5/5 — Yep! One day I’m hooked!

*2023-09-06, version 1.3.78*

I only had issue with commercials during the timed play with my first review. IDK what happened but that quit happening and I’m happy!

### 5/5 — Love the game!

*2023-09-01, version 1.3.78*

I play the daily puzzles every day.  However, the game resets just short of reaching the end.   Does it ever reach the end?   If not I will stop stressing and start enjoying this great game.

### 2/5 — Has potential

*2023-07-11, version 1.3.78*

Simple, good game with WAY too many looong ads to be any fun!

### 5/5 — What happened?

*2023-05-28*

I love this game….play the daily and the other games as well. Just the last week or so, if you don’t finish in time you have to start over. I liked being able to get more time after watching a video. Please change it!!  Thanks….

**Developer response:** Hi Winslow,

Thank you for your feedback and for enjoying our game. We appreciate your support. We understand that the recent change in the time limit has been a source of frustration for you. We value your input and will take it into consideration as we continue to improve the game.

### 4/5 — Love the game….mostly.

*2023-05-17*

Game is fun and fast paced. Ads are not too excessive. My only complaint is according to the game play tips section you are supposed to be able to shuffle the board once per puzzle in Origin mode. However my screen has NO SHUFFLE BUTTON! I cannot beat several of the ‘terra’ subsection of origins in part I think because of this.
EDIT: Developer responded quickly to my review, saying they are working on fixing the issue. Will update again when that happens. (which I hope is soon ‘cause I really want to be the Terra section!)

**Developer response:** Hi ChesterARiley,

I'm happy to hear that you enjoy the game. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Thank you!

### 5/5 — I love this game, but . . .

*2023-05-04*

How can I buy the game to get rid of the ads.  If I remember right, several years ago the game was available for $15 a year.  Is that option still available?  Some days I skip the game because I can’t tolerate dealing with the ads.  Please help.  Thank you.

**Developer response:** Hi Deanna2345678,

### 4/5 — What’s with the pop ups??

*2023-01-04*

I really like this game. I’ve been playing it for years, even before there was an iPhone, much less an iPad. I played on my laptop with a mouse, LoL, that was a bit difficult but I really enjoy this game! However, here lately, ads pop up in the middle of a timed run & I don’t think that’s fair. Sure, those pop ups can be X’d out of quickly, but that has made the difference in my ability to score higher & to finish within the allotted time. Not to mention the distraction it makes to my pace to play the game quickly. Please fix this glitch! Thanks!

**Developer response:** Hi Beaupup,

Thank you for your message, we are working on the bugs you mention. I'm happy to hear that you enjoy the game. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Thank you!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Timed

*2025-10-24, version 1.3.78*

Don’t like the timer for the games.

### 1/5 — Loved it, until

*2023-11-17*

A VERY, VERY long ad showed up.  Immediately deleted.  Who wants to stick around waiting forever to play.

**Developer response:** Dear Zinnia22,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback . We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with the game due to a long advertisement that appeared. Please, contact us on support@arkadium.com and share the ad screenshot, so we can resolve the problem. Thanks for your help!

### 1/5 — Game

*2023-08-10, version 1.3.78*

Well I did like this game but now it’s not working on my phone!!! Why do y’all keep doing this to me???? I can’t help I can’t afford a better phone. Please allow me to play this on my iphone6.

### 1/5 — Need option to purchase

*2022-11-01, version 1.3.78*

Toooooo many ads make no fun. Let it be purchased

### 1/5 — New version is horrible

*2022-07-22, version 1.3.78*

Went from one of the best game apps to the worst.  The game is all about speed, and the format has changed such that an ad runs on your screen through the entire game.  It is so distracting it makes it impossible to concentrate.  Would have given it 5 stars a year ago, now it gets one.  For shame, for shame.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2021-11-28, version 1.3.38*

Some of the levels are impossible to clear in the amount of time provided which forces the user to watch inappropriate video advertisements. All ages play this game so the ads should be kid friendly and avoid violent ads.

### 1/5 — Taptiles

*2021-07-22*

Pourquoi vous faites toujours des jeux timé. J’aime le jeu mais pas le temps on est assez stressé sans se faire encore stresser. La tour infernale pas faisable expert je vous flush. Ça vaut pas la peine de jouer à ce jeu

**Developer response:** Merci, vos commentaires sont appréciés. Vous apprécierez peut-être le "Mode de relaxation", où vous pouvez jouer sans minuterie.

### 1/5 — Hostage for ratings

*2021-02-22, version 1.3.10*

Would have been a good rating except my game was held hostage forcing me to give a review. If I chose ‘remind me later’ I was kicked out of the app. If I just tried to give stars as a review, yup, no luck and still can’t play game. So if you are going to lock people out of a game forcing them to give your game a review, guess what you are going to get, a bad review!

### 1/5 — Get rid of Helix Jump app ads

*2019-09-15, version 1.2.7*

I love this app. It received one star because of the ad for the Helix Jump app. This ad will not allow the player to return to Tap Tiles. No, I will not purchase an ad free app.

Clearly the developers of this app do not care about the consumers time or opinions! The Helix Jump app ruins the playing experience!

Thank once again the developers have allowed another app ad to hold this game hostage. So much for character, ethics and integrity. Not buying this app, however, I will delete it.

### 1/5 — Cheaply done

*2018-05-24*

Could be better, but the tiles, menu buttons etc. are far too small and not sensitive enough. Would be better if you could play levels.

### 5/5 — Great Fun

*2026-04-12, version 2.1.0*

I’m really enjoying this game. It’s fun, but also a challenge. Relaxing when you just want to sit and have a brake from the day’s tasks.

### 5/5 — Klasse Spiel

*2026-01-18, version 2.1.0*

Kenne das Spiel noch aus damaligen Zeiten, als es noch von Microsoft war. Leider verschwand es dann irgendwann im Store. Die aktuelle Version kommt dem Original sehr sehr nahe, meiner Meinung nach einer der Besten mobile Games überhaupt.

### 5/5 — Fun, Challenging & Relaxing

*2025-08-23, version 1.3.78*

So many less ads which makes this game so much more enjoyable. There are challenges and relaxing games. So far so good. I would recommend this game.

### 5/5 — BEST 3D Block puzzle!

*2025-08-13*

This game is relaxing and FUN!  Also gets your mind motivated at the same time.  The different modes that you play with Tap Tiles are creative!  I’m so glad I tried out this game on a whim, because now I am totally addicted.  Some puzzles are timed, some not … up to you on the ones you want to play.  That’s why I like this game so much.  If you’re reading this review before you try the game… I highly recommend you give this block puzzle game a go!!    :-)

### 5/5 — Great game !!!

*2025-06-09*

I’m surprised there aren’t more recent reviews, too!  This is a great block game.  There are different modes to choose from, daily challenges in which you can choose different modes there too.  There are ads, but not too many(and hey the game is free).  If you like block games, you have to get this game.

### 5/5 — The BEST 3-D Block puzzle game EVER made!

*2025-04-17*

Why aren’t there more recent reviews? People,! You are missing out on a unique block puzzle game that has daily puzzles of challenges that change every day of the month which include “ Tap tower” ( clear all blocks b4 all reach the top & “ Tap turbine” clear 7 puzzles in 3 mins, there’s “ Slide match” clear 10 puzzles in 4 min. & “ Color match” different solid colors of cubes ( no symbols on this one) PLUS a separate group that has 4 categories , ORIGINS, DASH,RELAXATION,& DAILY PUZZLES. It’s not a Mah-Jong-game like it states. In the ORIGINS GAME there are different rooms to go in to under names : Chrome, Flow, Terra,Aurora, Foundation, & Passage. 
So many different games to play on one game. Each timed with surprise blocks you can tap to give you more time before timer runs out.  It’s simply amazing. Just the use of a finger, no controls & not made for 4 yr old age groups. It’s for teens to adults. The game maker put a lot of thought into this gem of a game & I wish more people looking for challenge, speed or slow hard or easy or expert levels would just try itWhat cld be better than this ?

### 5/5 — If you like speed games, this is the game!

*2024-12-23*

I have been playing this wonder, fun, fast puzzle game for years now.  I want everyone else who enjoys speed games as much as I do to be aware of this phenomenal game that people might not be aware of.  You never get bored or tired of playing it.  The game maker is brilliant. It’s not often I can find a game that’s a keeper.  Hope you all take my advice and give it a try.  You’ll see what I mean.

### 5/5 — Finally found it again!!!

*2024-11-19*

I played this game on my laptop years ago and loved it so much that I bought my first touch screen computer to give me faster play.  Then life came along as it does and I didn’t okay games much. But in my old age, I remembered that game, and kept looking for it, and looking for it, finally, finding it in an old computer. Now it’s in all my computers and all my phones …I do love this game
