There are more frequent impossible levels and they no longer seem to default to an easier level after multiple attempts so can stay stuck on the same level for days. I don’t mind using boosters if I am getting close to completing a level but this is getting to where I could use all of them and still not finish unless a paid coin for an additional bout of extra time. There is no way to accumulate boosters if not progressing. I’m not sure what part of this is supposed to be fun and in-app support is non-existent. Update 12/27/23 -Minus one star: Developer response says to participate in races and collect extra lives from teammates. I believe that is the wrong game. If there are races or teams in this game, I have not come across them and I am now at level 1385. And now they have increased the cost of boosters by 2/3. The fans in the game to mix up objects rarely bring what you are looking for to the surface. And it used to be if you were stuck on a level for a while, you would get an easier version. I am seeing that less and less. I have no desire to play the same level over and over so I just go play something else. One more star deducted. I had hoped this game was going to be more enjoyable than the sister game (Find 3D). That one I invested a lot of money in and as the developers say, “the game gets harder as you progress.” Well, what they mean is that the game gets so hard that you play less, advance less and earn fewer power ups unless you spend money. I am starting to see the same trend now with this game - more difficult levels and even the “normal” levels becoming difficult to achieve. I guess they are making $$$ or they would change it but it certainly becomes less fun when you have to play the same level over and over again (example, my current level where you have to find 50 objects in 70 seconds in a multi-level pile where they make the top objects fall back over the bottom items so you can’t get to them - c’mon!) ### 4/5 — Starting to Deduct Stars *2023-10-09* I had hoped this game was going to be more enjoyable than the sister game (Find 3D).

The best part of this game is that it's completely free to play. Claim your daily bonus, complete as many levels as possible, participate in races and even get assistance from other teammates :) If you cannot clear a level for any reason, contact us via the in-app support option, and we will do our best to help. Sincerely, Tile Match 3D Team ### 2/5 — So sad *2023-05-12* I love playing this game and would have given it 5 stars but it’s randomly stopped working. I’m so mad bc it’s a game I like to play whenever I have a few minutes of downtime or to de-stress. Not sure why it’s not working anymore but I’m really upset. Fix it please!! **Developer response:** Hi! What you’re describing sounds like a technical problem. It might be device/ internet related or perhaps something to do with the game itself. If you send us more details to support@ilyon.net, we will be able to help you with this issue better. Thanks, Ilyon Player Experience ### 3/5 — Game wracked with glitches *2023-02-24* I love this game and am hooked on it (over 7,000 levels and counting). However, the weekly challenge has been unplayable more than once due to technical issues. Instead of the item there’s a white box that, if you tap it, causes the game to crash and the app needs to be closed and reopened. Plus, when I just want to play a level, I instead get a black screen. I have to repeatedly close the app and reopen it (as many as ten times straight) before a level finally loads, which is exhausting. This has frequently occurred over the past several weeks and has not been fixed. Once the problem is resolved, I will edit my star rating to the five the game otherwise warrants. **Developer response:** Hi! What you’re describing sounds like a technical problem. It might be device/ internet related or perhaps something to do with the game itself. If you send us more details to support@ilyon.net, we will be able to help you with this issue better. Thanks, Ilyon® Player Experience ### 3/5 — No customer support *2022-11-06* I love the game but customer support is everything. You can contact them but no place to write the problem big PROBLEM! **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for playing! We are glad to hear that you are having fun! :) Sincerely, Ilyon® Player Experience ### 3/5 — Speed of game doesn’t keep up w/downloading item *2022-06-19* I have enjoyed this game over the last several months, it keeps my mind engaged between locating the item and amount of time left on the clock. But I’ve notice the time lag in locating and placing the item with the stop clock. Many times I’ve put the item in place with 5 secs on the clock, and time still runs out making me to you extra points only to succeed in one move. That’s frustrating and has me rethinking my purchasing. **Developer response:** Hi! What you’re describing sounds like a technical problem. It might be device/ internet related or perhaps something to do with the game itself. If you send us more details to support@ilyon.net, we will be able to help you with this issue better. Thanks, Ilyon® Player Experience ### 3/5 — Like the game. Addicting….. *2022-06-15* However…really!! You have to find like 40,50 objects just to get 1 hint???That is ridiculous!!!! I’d like to see better rewards. I’m above level 3,000. The least you can do is raise the rewards 😡🤬 **Developer response:** Hi! We are all about creating fun and exciting games. If you had a bad experience of any kind, while playing, we need to know about it. Send us an email to support@ilyon.net with more details about what happened, so that we can help. Help us improve by sharing your experience:) Sincerely, Ilyon® Player Experience ### 4/5 — Ads *2022-05-18, version 79.01* This is a great game…and would get 5 stars from me if it wasn’t for massive amount of ads A ad after every single level is a joke And to remove the ads is £4.49 which is a bigger joke…apart from that it’s a good game ### 3/5 — Too Difficult *2022-04-20* This game is really great. However, the “extra hard” levels are so difficult it’s not even fun. It’s too frustrating. Otherwise, super game. **Developer response:** Hi! As you progress in the game, levels will become more challenging. If a certain level was harder than usual, or if there's an issue with a particular element in the game - please email us at support@boomboxgames.net, and we will do our best to help :) Sincerely, Boombox® Player Experience ### 1/5 — Fun for a bit *2022-03-16, version 79.01* Fun in the beginning but the farther you go it’s literally impossible to find everything in the time given. It’s a money grab ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Spiel hängt sich zum wiederholten Mal auf *2023-04-21* Schönes Spiel an sich. Aber zum wiederholten Male hängt sich das Spiel auf. Diesmal bei Level 253. Support nur auf englisch. Kein Bock mehr erneut von vorne zu starten **Developer response:** Hi! What you’re describing sounds like a technical problem. It might be device/ internet related or perhaps something to do with the game itself. If you send us more details to support@ilyon.net, we will be able to help you with this issue better. Thanks, Ilyon® Player Experience ### 1/5 — £5 to buy and the they charge to play *2023-03-05, version 100.01* Warning: Buying the game will not guarantee you can play here! Within 30 mins it becomes impossible to complete levels without paying for extras. I’ll delete it because it’s a waste of space. Too bad there’s no way to demand my money back. ### 1/5 — Pub *2022-11-27* Beaucoup trop de publicité a supporter pour pouvoir jouer **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for playing! The ads help us keep the game completely free to play, so the fun and challenge can keep on going :) They can be skipped and closed within a few seconds once they appear. If you no longer wish to see them, we offer an ”Ad-free” premium version with any purchase made in the game. Sincerely, Ilyon® Player Experience ### 1/5 — Well designed but a cheater *2022-09-18* This game attracts with nice graphics and concept, but you will soon realize the purpose is for the developer to make money. A lot of money! You will hit levels that are simply designed to be impossible to win unless you purchase more stuff. The game cheats by not showing objects, to make you fail and spend more money. It just becomes more and more ridiculous and frustrating. And it is not a few cents, but $40, $70, $90 for some stupid coins that you will use in the next few levels, that I am sure will cheat even more. And no, it's not a technical problem ( the developer answer to bad reviews) it is a greediness problem. **Developer response:** Hi! As you progress in the game, levels will become more challenging. If a certain level was harder than usual, or if there's an issue with a particular element in the game - please email us at support@ilyon.net, and we will do our best to help :) Sincerely, Ilyon® Player Experience ### 1/5 — Tile Match 3d *2022-07-11* Zuerst fand ich das Spiel spannend,mittlerweile ist die Zeitvorgabe um die Teile zu suchen,zu knapp,so das man ein Level nicht schaffen kann oder nur noch einen Stern bekommt.Auch Booster und Münzen sind Mangelware.Mehr Frust als Lust.So werdet ihr keine Spieler beim Spiel halten! **Developer response:** Hi! As you progress in the game, levels will become more challenging. If a certain level was harder than usual, or if there's an issue with a particular element in the game - please email us at support@boomboxgames.net, and we will do our best to help :) Sincerely, Boombox® Player Experience ### 1/5 — This game CHEATS you!!!! Do not buy! *2022-07-09* I’ve spent so much money on this game and now I know why I can’t win some levels until I spend more. The developers CHEAT!!!! I spent more money today, got to level 257 and on the 3rd time playing this level I knew that there were no 1s on the board. After I’d cleared the other requested items I sorted my board by color (the 1s are red) then spread out all the red ones to capture a screen shot before the timer went. After spending all my coins and using all my extra power things I can flipping PROVE the developers CHEAT YOU OUT OF YOUR MONEY. **Developer response:** Hi! What you’re describing sounds like a technical problem. It might be device/ internet related or perhaps something to do with the game itself. If you send us more details to support@ilyon.net, we will be able to help you with this issue better. Thanks, Tile Match 3D Team ### 1/5 — An ad after EVERY game *2022-05-11* How did this game ever get 5 Stars? The game itself is fun, but an ad after EVERY game puts this game at the 1 Star rating. Games are 15-30 seconds to finish & then you must suffer through a minimum 15 seconds of advertising And the loading time for each match game is way too long. DELETED. **Developer response:** Hi! Did you know that the game is completely free to play at all levels? The ads you see help us keep it that way, and allow us to keep the fun going :) If you had a bad experience, please let us know about it at support@boomboxgames.net so that we can address it and offer a possible solution. Sincerely, Boombox® Player Experience ### 1/5 — Too difficult to progress without buying boosters *2022-03-22* Enjoy the game, but can’t progress much past level 100. Does not let you earn boosters or coins very quickly. Some levels are extremely difficult to pass without using the few boosters you get. Also limited to five lives, and have to wait for them to renew. It's all aimed at making you spend money to keep playing. All of this along with the extremely annoying ads after every short game means I will be deleting this ap. Shame, because it is good fun. **Developer response:** Hi! One of the best parts of our game is that it's completely FREE to play at all levels. Don’t forget to claim your daily bonus and participate in challenges and events. If you used your boosters and still cannot solve the puzzle, send us an email to support@ilyon.net and we will do our best to help :) Sincerely, Ilyon® Player Experience ### 1/5 — Too slow! *2022-03-19* An ad after every level makes this game unplayable. Level lasts 10 secs and Ad at least 60 secs … ridiculous! Lizardlizzy **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for playing! The ads help us keep the game completely free to play, so the fun and challenge can keep on going :) They can be skipped and closed within a few seconds once they appear. If you no longer wish to see them, we offer an ”Ad-free” premium version with any purchase made in the game. Sincerely, Ilyon® Player Experience ### 1/5 — Not the game in the ad *2022-03-19, version 79.01* I was disappointed to find out this was not the game in the ad. Classic bait and switch ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Timer *2025-09-28* Needs longer time ### 5/5 — Frustrating *2023-07-06* I like this game even though I get frustrated sometimes. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for playing! The levels will become more challenging as you advance in the game, and that’s when the power-ups at the bottom of the screen come in. Use them at the right moment, as they can help you solve the puzzle. Keep trying, and let us know at support@ilyon.net how it goes :) Best of luck, Tile Match 3D Team ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-10-13* It’s so nice that I can fling the items around to find the other items **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks so much for the awesome review! We hope you continue to enjoy our game :) Sincerely, Ilyon® Player Experience ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2022-10-03* I rate it 5 ⭐️ because it’s so easy to win I think it won’t get harder **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for your review! We are glad to hear that you are having fun and hope you continue to enjoy our game :) Sincerely, Ilyon® Player Experience ### 5/5 — Fun *2022-08-18, version 79.01* Like it ### 5/5 — Difficult levels *2022-08-03* Some levels are almost impossible to win. Don’t have the opportunity to get many free rewards that would help win levels. Some levels have too much happening, cannons, color changing balls, trash cans exploding, multiplying rabbits and then trying to pick out a bunch of tiny objects. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for playing! The levels will become more challenging as you advance in the game, and that’s when the power-ups at the bottom of the screen come in. Use them at the right moment, as they can help you clear the level. Keep trying, and let us know at support@ilyon.net how it goes :) Best of luck, Ilyon® Player Experience ### 5/5 — My favorite game *2022-07-05* I play this game until I am tired of spending money than I start from the beginning again. **Developer response:** Hi! As you progress in the game, levels will become more challenging. If a certain level was harder than usual, or if there's an issue with a particular element in the game - please email us at support@ilyon.net, and we will do our best to help :) Sincerely, Ilyon® Player Experience ### 5/5 — This is an awesome game *2022-04-12, version 79.01* This is such an amazing game I love to play it do you know IamSanna well if you do Surrport her pls ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-03-22* Keeps the eye alert to score. My first game, so will continue. Thanks **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for rating us 5 stars! We are always happy to hear from our players and see how much they enjoy the game. Is there any level or feature you think we can improve? Feel free to let us know :) Sincerely, Ilyon® Player Experience ### 5/5 — Challenging *2022-03-12* This game starts out pretty easy which is typical for most games that challenge you. Once you get going it gets tough. But that is the fun of it. The biggest challenge I find is that the objects you are not looking for float around like apples in water. So you’ll see the item you have to match but trying to grab it with all the other objects floating around can be difficult. I have learned to just throw them all at the magnet and hope it grabs. I love this game as it is great for eye hand coordination which I need to constantly practice due to an old head injury. So this game is perfect for me. Don’t give up on the harder levels. You will get through them. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
