Love it

Would be nice to have options of different music to turn on or off. And different items to pick from for matching like categories of things to change it up a little. Had new items after I sent above review. I’m all through those and ready for more!!! Keep them coming! Thanks Thanks for new item packs! Loving this game more and more. Maybe give people options to shut timer off and maybe zen music! Full bodied animals or little people play pieces would be fun too. Thanks! So I see it is adding lives or hearts on a countdown. I hope that you don’t make the game unplayable if you end up using all the hearts up. I think a lot of people would stop playing if they had to wait for more lives. I like the added time bonus but still would like to win some time freezes again instead of just the added time. If they keep making groups or changes I hope they don’t mess with the simple option of just playing. Still wishing there was an option for an untimed choice since it’s very relaxing. I’m in the levels of 4000 and it’s still my go to game! Please make an untimed option. Thanks for all the item packs!!!!

I really enjoy this game, but...

This game was instantaneously one of my favorites, but the more I play, the more frustrated and irritable I become... 1. There’s WAY WAY too many ads. This developer KNOWS that his idea will attract the attention of many, and the fact that the developer put ads every 2 minutes DURING the game and one after or when you pause... it’s absolutely UNACCEPTABLE!!! This developer is greedy and he KNOWS the players will continue playing because of how challenging and fun it is. So what does the developer do? He makes it cost $6 or $7 JUST to remove ads DURING the game, not after (I have not bought no ads, but another reviewer said they did and all it did was take away ads during the game, not before or after the game. This is RIDICULOUS and the game is RIGGED to get you to pay. 2. Lives take 30 minutes to refresh and you can only have 5 at a time... and with the increasingly difficult levels, it just isn’t possible to keep going. It would be nice if that number was bumped up to 10 but it is what it is... 3. Another reviewer pointed out the 30 minutes of infinite lives is automatically started and with no choice of when to start it, which, if you weren’t able to play the game during that time you couldn’t use the infinite lives. Overview: Addicting game, UNACCEPTABLE amount of ads (to the point it should be illegal imo), RIGGED to get you to pay, and ads aren’t even completely removable (I think).

Amazing data, but....

This game has amazing graphics and physics that is fun to play with and watch. However there is a price to pay that seems to get greater with time. You have to pay for things even after you earn them. You think that you are earning coins by playing and passing goals and filling your piggy bank, but when your piggy bank is full and you would like to uses some of your earned coins, you find you have to buy the coins you earned!!! And once full, any coins you earn after that just bounce off and you lose them. The game does not save the place you were at if you leave the app, so you can continue where you left it. You have to start from the beginning of the level you were at every time you start the app again. The ads you have to watch last some times 30 seconds. Some are two part ads, where you watch one and have to pick “Next” and then you have to watch the same ad over again. Not good for the advertiser, if the potential customer doesn't respond to an ad, why should you show the same ad again instead of another ad to get a response?!? Some ads only show how you lose the game, not showing what would happen when you become good at it. I got to level 36, but finally got fed up with the ads and limitations. I contacted the developers with questions and suggestions and never got a response.

A bit frustrating and requires a lot of patience

I started playing it daily over a year ago and am playing it much less now. I’m at level 2200+. I probably should’ve quit a thousand levels ago. Way too many ads. Too frequent as well, every 2 minutes. The ads are super-long. You’ll have to watch an ad stream about 30 seconds, then when you close it, you find another countdown timer of about 15 seconds, then another one for another 10 seconds. All during supposedly “one” ad break. And of course there’s an ad before the start of every level and then after you complete each level. It also locks up and goes black after some ads and you lose whatever progress you made for that level. Also, it’s really annoying when you’re playing a level with a lot of items, they don’t stay in the “container” unless you take the time to be careful and drop them in. Otherwise, they bounce around in and out of the container and you have to grab them again and waste time. And finally, the most frustrating thing is most level timers will only give you 1 minute, 15 seconds when it’s clearly obviously you’re not going to finish in time, right from the get-go. So overall, if you’re patient and don’t care about wasting time and effort - then this game is okay.

Money grubbing

I have never seen a game try so hard to make money. It is a timed, race against the clock game, but ads popping up in the middle disrupts your concentration and throws off your momentum. Especially since some ads can drag on for a full minute. To make matters worse, after a few levels you reach levels that are impossible to complete without boosters. You can get boosters for free, but to pass some levels it would take days of playing and losing the same level over and over to get enough free boosters to win the level. The only alternative is to pay for boosters. I know app developers don’t work for free and they need to make money by selling the app, in-app purchases, and/or ad time. I have paid for other apps, boosters, extra lives, etc., and have patiently watched ads between levels in other games. It’s the price of entertainment. But in other game apps, you can enjoy the game for free just by sitting thru the ads because the ads pay the bills. This game tries to force you to buy things despite selling ridiculous amounts of ad time. The number of ads and their placement in the middle of games made me not want to pay for anything in this app from the beginning, and after seeing how they make it nearly impossible to enjoy the game without buying things I have decided to stop playing altogether. It is a shame too because it is a fun game.

good but have some suggestions

ok so first off, this game is pretty good. nice graphics, pretty objects and lots of things to mess with. but there are some things that are just unnecessary, like the timer because, im a slow worker and i don’t notice things as fast as other people. the timer makes me stress even more then i already am, since this game is a go to when im stressed. i just think it’s unnecessary since it’s never shown in the ads and make things inconvenient. the second thing is that, me personally, i have lots of trouble see numbers or letters and i often stutter or have trouble speaking in my head. maybe there should be a toggle button to make it just objects and no numbers or letters, or maybe the other way around? idk just something that sounds convenient. eh, otherwise it’s a cool game, i like it, only on level 4 because of how much i lose. (DUe To ThE TimEr GUfgjgv) but it’s a good game. approved 🍌. EDIT: stress level are sky high when im playing this…this review has been here awhile, and i haven’t seen ANY fixes..im debating whether to delete this app or not. my mental heath is getting worse and worse because i haven’t been able to calm down from..well, the world. pls fix these things. i beg.🍌

Good game, too limited options, constant “up-selling”

***If I’d known the game was this limited, and would be constantly trying to up up-sell me, I wouldn’t have bought the paid version. I’m sorry I did.*** UPDATE: I’ve decided to stop playing this game. I liked using it to relax and de-stress, but playing against the clock creates stress rather than relieves it, and there’s no other option to play it. I like this game, think it’s a creative idea. I like interface overall. I’d easily give it 4 stars, probably even 5 stars — but there are no “practice modes”, or any way whatsoever to the play without a timer constantly running. I had been using the game in the mornings to help wake up my brain, but am constantly irritated that I have to rush against the clock instead of having the option to let my mind relax and find the matches in varying levels without a stress-inducing clock running. ***The only way to change that is to spend money on boosters that add to the clock, which is manipulative.*** I purchased the paid version of the app, yet I’m still having purchases pushed at me, which cheapens the game for me and makes me want to not play it, and even worse, not recommend it to others. If a “play without the clock” option was available, and there weren’t “Buy boosters, give us more more money” things in my face all the time, I’d love it.

Liked at first but…

Now the ads crash, which makes the game freeze and i have to close the game and reopen. I lose a life or don’t earn my bonus at the end of the game. Even though I landed on 5x points and watched a 30 second ad, it crashes at the end and I don’t get anything. I didn’t even care how many ads there were. I accepted watching 10 ads to earn 100 coins. But now the ad won’t finish playing. Then the app thinks I watched the ad and reduces my videos I’m allowed to watch to earn coins. But it doesn’t give me the 10 coins per video it was supposed to. The game itself has started freezing in the last minute of playing, never earlier in the game though. The seconds are still being deducted but the pieces are frozen to move them. I’ve made it slightly past level 500. It started messing up badly after I got over level 400. I have updated to the latest version of the game and even the latest software update on the iPad and I still have the problem just as bad. Now the game has started making my iPad do a hard reset and lock up the restart. My iPad has only done this twice and it was in the middle of trying to watch ads on this game. It looks like I won’t be able to play this game anymore. You’d think the developers would want to fix this stuff since you know they’re making money on the ad views during the game.
