Aber warum gibt es keine Updates mehr? **Developer response:** Hi! Congratulations on completing the current version of the game!  More top-quality levels are on their way. This, however, may take some time as we must first check that nothing will affect your gameplay experience. Be sure to stay tuned for updates :)  Sincerely, Zen Link Team ### 4/5 — Really love the game... *2023-07-25, version 2.0.0* I really enjoy playing this game. I’ve downloaded (& deleted) a lot of match 3 games and this is one of the best. I’d have given 5 stars instead of 4 if the bug(s) were fixed. The main problem I have is the game crashing & bouncing me back to my home screen. This happens 3-4 times with each session of gameplay, causing me to lose numerous lives, boosters & event items collected. If this can be fixed, I will update my review to reflect the fix & give 5 stars. ### 4/5 — Entertaining *2022-10-19, version 2.0.0* The game itself is entertaining but like most games there are way to many ads. **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, Zen Link Team ### 3/5 — Great game...far too many ads *2022-10-13, version 2.0.0* Insane number of ads....I don't mind ads usually...but I have to watch two ads just to finish a game? 🤦🏻‍♀️. I'm out... ### 4/5 — Great game but got impossible to solve *2022-09-13, version 2.0.0* It was a great game and addicting until I reached the ice blocks that keep expanding; it became impossible to get rid of the ice cubes. Then I lost interest in the game since it became hard to progress. ### 3/5 — Fun but…… *2022-08-30, version 1.8.55* I really like this game but wasaaayyyy to expensive if you want to buy extra moves or anything else needed to get past a level that you’ve done probably 50+ times. Always comes down to ‘just one more move’ and I’d have it but $1.99???? No way. ### 4/5 — Pay to Play *2022-08-19, version 1.8.55* Very smooth and visually appealing. I had this game for just a few days and I realized it has no ads, but is designed to force in-app purchases to continue to play and clear levels. Not for me. ### 5/5 — Better than Candy Crush *2022-08-01, version 1.8.55* Love,love,love this game ### 4/5 — Shutdown ? *2022-07-22, version 1.8.55* The game periodically shuts down for no reason that I can see ... and then the status doesn’t seem to follow through. ### 3/5 — Crash *2022-07-21, version 1.8.55* Constant Crashing after EVERY Win and at Bonuses and then it takes you through every ad and promotion and then start game where crashes. Just annoying. Hopefully the Update will fix this problem ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not Fun Anymore *2024-01-27* The new update makes it impossible to win. It is not relaxing OR fun when it takes DAYS to win a level. The first update took it to games that the computer let a person win more often. Some were stupidly easy, while others were a bit more challenging, but you could still move on daily. Now, it keeps needing one more move, over, and over, and over again and it is maddening. I am going to quit this 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@ilyon.net, and we will do our best to help :) Sincerely, Zen Link Team ### 1/5 — Could be great *2023-10-10, version 2.0.0* I’ve been playing this game for a while and have spent money several times but lately it’s not letting me play videos for extra turns. I looked it up and it says that most of the time it’s the WiFi, but if that was the case then how come after I win FINALLY it’ll play a video before I can move on? I’ve gotten other friends playing this game and they complain that they have the same problem. ITS NOT MY WI-FI…….. ### 1/5 — Paid for ads to be removed and now asking to pay again *2023-08-14, version 2.0.0* Please restore my purchase. I paid to have ads removed in June, but now am being asked to pay again. Please remove my ads so I can continue with this game ### 1/5 — Zen link *2022-12-18, version 2.0.0* apparently there is a solution to every puzzle, but, this level I’m on is beyond ridiculous. Absolutely maddening! It was a great game up to this point! And I think the only way anyone could win would be puny shelling out &$$$$$$$$ So forget it ! ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2022-11-13, version 2.0.0* I have to remove and reinstall daily. ### 1/5 — The Game is Rigged *2022-07-16, version 1.8.54* I just started playing and was having fun. Made it to the levels that have competitions. I am pretty competitive so always try for 1st to get the extra coins and boosters. First competition, the 2nd place person kept getting close, so I kept going because we had a few hours left. When I opened the game to play a little more, the competition said “finished”. I thought that was odd because we weren’t done so I opened to see the scores. The second place person had almost caught up and had made a huge jump numbers in such a short time? I made note of their exact score because I felt something was off. I logged back in and it was no longer closed and the 2nd place person had a lower number. I figured it was a glitch and kept playing. When the game finally ended the 2nd place person had the EXACT score that appeared hours before during the glitch!!! Second competition that is ending today. Yesterday, same glitch saying competition had ended. I was way ahead in 1st place but it said I was in 3rd when it “supposedly ended”. I exited the game and went back in, competition still running again. There was a person in 2nd who was pretty behind but I didn’t want to take a chance they would catch up so I kept logging in and playing whenever I saw them gaining points. We did this all day yesterday. I went to bed at 10 pm and still had a pretty big lead and the 3rd person was almost 1000 behind. I woke up at 5am and I was suddenly in 3rd place??? I know the games are international but how can someone be playing with me all day and then play that much during the night to catch up and exceed me by over 500 from 2nd place and gain over 1000 from 3rd place. So guess what. I ended up in 3rd place just like the glitch “predicted”!!! I have deleted the app and encourage you not to play or do not spend any money to compete in the competitions. So sad that people are so greedy that they will program the game to cheat like that. 😢 ### 2/5 — Disappearing extra goodies *2025-11-17, version 2.1.3* I have noticed that quite often if I have selected two or three special goodies, they show up together and when I click on them, the disappear. I feel that that is unfair because I have paid for those goodies. It is like you have stolen my money. Also, why don’t we have the chance to watch a video to get extra turns? ### 2/5 — Meh…. *2022-08-03* Started off okay, but this game goes from ridiculously easy to ridiculously hard very quickly and has some very annoying quirks. Example: in the ‘ice’ levels, your bonus rockets do not block the spread of the ice, you lose them. In the cloud levels where you have to drop the birds to the bottom, the birds go behind the clouds and are invisible. The early levels are too easy to be anything of a challenge, the later levels require so many lives to complete it’s tedious. The ads after every screen become irritating too, especially if you are on your 20th attempt to clear a level. I played to level 300, but it’s too annoying to go further. **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, Zen Link Team ### 2/5 — Trying to understand *2022-07-24, version 1.8.55* I do not understand or get this game at all!!! I cannot find any information on how to play this game effectively. ### 2/5 — Only really fun at the beginning *2022-07-13, version 1.8.54* This is only really fun at the beginning. After that it’s only addicting. Fixing to close my app. No need to be frustrated by a silly game. There is enough frustration in life without that. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-01-06, version 2.1.2* Since yesterday January 5, 2025 I cannot open the game. The screen comes up with the name but it doesn’t proceeded to open the game ### 5/5 — Caught in a loop *2024-06-27, version 2.0.2* Love this game but it’s caught in some kind of loop. The hand is not even going on the same tiles starts on one and goes to another. It corrected itself. It was on a corn tile and then went to a different type tile. Can remember which one. I’m Not sure why at several hundred games in why it needs to tell us what to do Still one of the best games ### 5/5 — Caught in a loop *2024-06-22* Love this game but it’s caught in some kind of loop. The hand is in<£$o not even going on the same tiles starts on one and goes to another **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for playing.  We have read your review and are not quite sure we understand your exact experience. Please tell us more at support@ilyon.net as we are always attentive to our users.  Sincerely, Zen Link Team ### 5/5 — Perfect tv companion *2024-05-11, version 2.0.2* Love this game. It’s easy enough to play while watching tv, and with no timer, you can set aside and pay full attention to tv when something worth hearing is on. 😂 ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-10-05, version 2.0.0* Most similar games I would have had to spend $$$ by now to pass levels!!!! I’m only on level 290, it haven’t spent a dime yet!! ### 5/5 — Love it!!!! *2023-06-05, version 2.0.0* I play and delete games cause I get bored!!! But this game is challenging and fun!! It’s a keeper!! ### 5/5 — Untimed fun *2023-06-01, version 2.0.0* Love this game. Far into the 1700 as far as level. However it would be nice to have a zen mode. ### 5/5 — Good fun *2022-12-29, version 2.0.0* Love the challenges. Often miss by just one move, but I really enjoy it. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2022-10-09, version 2.0.0* I normally don’t write reviews for games but this is an exception. I downloaded this game only a few months ago and and on level 2450. Some levels are difficult but thanks to boosters and coins I can get through. I love how each level is different. My only complaint would be I wish I could go back and play previous levels again. This game should have a lot more downloads and reviews. It’s amazing! ### 5/5 — Very fun and challenging. *2022-10-03, version 2.0.0* This game is very addicting and I love all the different things that you have to try to do. It’s so much better than the just match three games those are too easy and boring. I have found several levels of this to be very difficult but most are doable and very fun. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
