### 3/5 — Level 220 impossible

*2024-02-14*

The game is decent. I like following the classic story with the puzzles. Level 220 is so far impossible. The blue pip only spawn in the bottom and there are never enough sent. Even if I boardwipe twice and use a bunch of planes and cannons, the game never sends enough blues.

### 4/5 — Think the developers are gone.

*2023-05-01*

Really enjoy this game. It makes you think, and rewards you for going back and retrying levels. The graphics are cute too. 
Would give it five stars, but as other reviews have stated, there haven’t been updates for over a year. 
Looking at 5th Planet’s other games, website, and social media, NOTHING has been updated in over a year. 
Think the developers may be gone.

### 3/5 — Fun game but…

*2021-10-05, version 1.26.0*

In order to advance to the last Diorama set you must have all 3 stars in every game! That’s very annoying you have to go back an play again until you have all stars! Some of the games are Justin little boring to get all stars!

### 4/5 — Great game but no new levels in 4 months!

*2021-08-22, version 1.26.0*

I really enjoy this game but it takes forever for them to release new levels. If nothing soon, I’ll change my rating, my review and delete the app.

### 3/5 — Too hard for me!

*2021-08-20, version 1.26.0*

I loved the game up until level 238. Now, sadly, I am flummoxed. Been stuck here over a week, and sadly, for me, it just not worth the angst.

I loved the graphics and the stories. The game has been fun and challenging. But I’ve finally reached my personal Waterloo. 

I’m guessing I have reached the "investment" stage, wherein I’m required to buy some help to go past this level. I have of course saved up a lot of switches, extra turns and hammers, but the game seems designed, as you progress to higher levels, to limit your ability to play commercial vids to gain money, cards and tools. 

So be it! It was a great design, and I enjoyed playing it, up to the moment I didn’t, so on to the next distraction! Bye-bye...

### 4/5 — all i want is more levels

*2021-06-03, version 1.22.7*

YO. MAKE MORE LEVELS. seriously i have beating the ever loving crap out of this game. i need more levels, faster. thanks.

### 3/5 — Unimaginative

*2021-05-17, version 1.21.7*

I’m only giving this game 3 stars. It looked as though it would be a cute and enjoyable game, but it is so repetitive and so very little story line that is actually boring. Every level is almost the exact same thing in what is needed to retrieve (the matches) to beat the level. The same blue boxes to make matches with every level. They don’t even bother to change the colors every level.  If they ever vastly improve this game with a story line and imagination I will be glad to up my rating. Until then I am deleting this one.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Our team is working hard on improving the game update after update, we hope you stick around and help us make a better game!

### 3/5 — Fun

*2021-04-25, version 1.19.8*

This is a really fun game for those of us that like to match colors to win a puzzle. the only drawback is that every term takes a life other than that have fun and enjoy

### 3/5 — Review

*2020-12-27, version 1.13.7*

Maybe take a look at  the price of boosters being lowered and  make like a quantum booster when you combine several shapes  in the puzzle .

### 4/5 — It’s nice

*2020-12-13, version 1.12.2*

It’s would be even nicer if it was little more animated

### 2/5 — Alas, poor Tintin...

*2020-10-08, version 1.5.1*

I have loved the character of Tintin and all his co-stars for many a year. When I saw a match game with Tintin & company, I was ecstatic. But, after playing it, it’s sadly clear than this is a pay to win game. I’ve played levels over and over, but with no luck in getting what I need to advance. I wish you well, Tintin, but this is one adventure that I won’t be accompanying you on.

### 5/5 — Fun and challenging

*2020-10-06, version 1.5.1*

Will test your patience!   Overall,  game is entertaining and rewarding.

### 5/5 — Better than Candy Crush! I’m so hooked!

*2020-10-01, version 1.4.3*

Great game for match three fans. Unlimited playtime. Intriguing plotline. Great animations. Way better than Candy Crush Saga!

### 1/5 — Delete the app!

*2022-05-05, version 1.26.0*

There have not been any new levels added for a year - ridiculous. This app is dead and apparently will not be resurrected. Delete it folks and give a negative review so others won’t be scammed.

### 1/5 — SCAM GAME is Useless since 2021

*2022-03-06, version 1.26.0*

The Tintin Match Game has been stopped by its developers, closing in on one year now. There are no further games. So you spend all your time building to the max, only to abandoned with a message that promises Tintin will return… except he’s been gone nearly a year now. This is a SCAM. Whatever you do, DON’T spend MONEY here !!

### 1/5 — Single Option Moves & No More Moves Every Game = FUN???

*2021-06-06, version 1.22.7*

FUN? NOT AT ALL! Hope nobody on this planet gives you a single cent ever! You waste our time greatly! Stop!

### 1/5 — Can't turn off the bouncing hints

*2021-03-23, version 1.17.5*

It's so annoying I deleted the game. It's a real basic addition to the preferences for the game and turns what could be a relaxing pastime into an annoying nag.

### 1/5 — Just updated: getting a crash screen on boot up

*2020-09-22, version 1.3.2*

Hello developers - I just updated to the latest version and I’m getting an Oops message that fails to clear on clicking restart or closing the message. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Fix the game

*2020-09-10, version 1.1.1*

Level 83, you have to collect 15 blue germs with 24 moves! All 24 moves on the table only 9 blue germs and it doesn’t matter how many boosts you are using, it’s just only 9 of blue in whole level 👎🏻😡

### 1/5 — Just gives an error

*2020-09-05, version 1.1.1*

Even the button to contact support does nothing

### 2/5 — What happened?

*2023-04-03*

The first 4 stages or episodes were great. Fun to play and stress free. The latest most recent episode is no longer enjoyable. There are very few aligning colours and it feels like the developers are now, like most other games, just looking for in app $’s purchases to move forward. Shame and a pity.

### 2/5 — Waffling

*2021-10-08, version 1.26.0*

I love this game but am totally stuck for 3 weeks on level 133. I’ve contacted developers and have not been answered.  I only have 297 points , 3 points from being moved forward but no matter how many times I win  133 my points don’t change . I’m certain this is a flaw in this otherwise great game.

### 2/5 — ok

*2021-05-06, version 1.20.1*

first 10 levels were fun but then the levels just got unnecessarily hard. for example it would ask for 20 blue and 20 yellow pieces but only give you 2 of each color to begin with, and it takes up all the moves just to get more of the colors needed to pass to drop down. also annoying considering you need three stars on every level to get all of the cards to unlock all the hidden pieces to advance onto the next set of levels.

*2022-06-09, version 1.26.0*

I loved it so much but I can’t play it it’s stuck on the loading screen .😓

### 5/5 — Fun

*2022-05-08, version 1.26.0*

This Tintin Mobile game is really fun and enjoyable I hope there is some update soon but pronounce this is a really good Tintin game.

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2022-03-30, version 1.26.0*

I am in 455th game and enjoying it tremendously.  Very addicting and the time passes by very quickly.  The strategies are amazing.  Lot of thinking to do before you press anything.  Looks like I am at the end of the game.  Looking forward to more games to be updated.  Thank you for this game.

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2021-06-27, version 1.23.12*

Thanks for this game!
Never heard of the characters but it’s a fun story.
 Ads not forced to watch after each game.
Fantastic Developer response, you can tell they care about their game.

**Developer response:** You are right, some levels can be really challenging, but all of them can be beaten. One of our pillars, when we create levels, is that all levels can be finished without using boosters or special bonuses like the 5 extra rounds. Each level we create is played and won several times before we make it available to our players.
Speaking of the airplanes - rarely their behavior could be a bit unpredictable, but we are working on this issue.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-06-14, version 1.22.7*

Wonderful game that’s not so difficult that you delete it after the first week of playing.

### 5/5 — Dial Back Difficulty

*2021-05-01, version 1.20.1*

Excellent idea having the Tintin story as a match game!  Great graphics, story lines and characters but a number of the game levels need to be less difficult to accomplish.

UPDATE -  Received quick response from the developer.  Thanks!
It’s a great game and I will continue to enjoy it.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2021-02-02, version 1.15.5*

Amazing graphics, fun game but I’m honestly lost with what some of the symbols mean so I am confused when playing the game. I wish there was a legend for me to understand better.

### 5/5 — Enjoying Tintin

*2020-11-13, version 1.10.0*

I love the Tintin comics. This is a great way to relax and enjoy a Tintin story with fun puzzle to boot.  I really love that you can play on your own timeline without limits or timers.
