Amazing, but..

This is a fantastic game, but there are too many levels that cannot be passed without a purchase. I have spent a small fortune on this game, one because I can afford it, but it’s redundant at this point because I am blowing money away on something that is useless and that I can’t justify. I’m better off buying a few lottery tickets. Again, if you guys make it a little easier with simply a little more time to pass, I would continue to purchase, but it’s literally every other game that you have to buy coins or a pack to get past the level and that’s not OK. It’s highly addictive, it relaxes me and I don’t mind fiscally supporting, but it’s not going to continue. Having a good challenge is always fun and that’s fine but having to constantly spend so much money just to play a game is not so much fun. I hope you’ll make some adjustments and hear everyone’s truthful comments. I’ve noticed it’s not just mine. There’s consistency here. You have people who are willing to support you and your app, how about giving us a little support thank you.

Spent a lot of money towards game, issues with leveling up, not seeing ads & unresponsive developers

Love this game but have spent over $80 to play. Completed levels (using coins for extra time) and on a couple of occasions I was not able to level up. Reached out to developers and they asked some questions and said it could be a bug. I provided screenshots where I completed the level and have asked for a reimbursement or some type of compensation for all the money I’ve spent and the coins/items used to level up and it’s been over two weeks since hearing back from them. I don’t get any ads to get any incentives. I refuse to spend anymore money on the game when I completed a level a couple of times using coins/items and the game didn’t level up. The developers see to be more than happy to hear my case and tell me it was due to a “possible bug” and take the money I’ve spent on the game. Yet, refuse to email me back concerning fixing the issue with compensation of some kind due to the “possible bug” that didn’t allow me to level up. NOT happy with the developers lack of communication!! Wouldn’t recommend spending a cent on this game. Wouldn’t recommend this game; developers don’t care and do not follow up on communications.

So fun but needs a change

I love this game. It’s so much fun! And this was probably the intent but you have 2 minute rounds and if it’s hard you have to start over every 2 minutes only 5 times (10 minutes) before you need lives gifted to you or you have to buy more lives. That’s expensive! Yes I’m sure that’s the point, I’m not naive, but some of us can’t afford it so it’s very frustrating. Can there be a very hard to find hidden object that gifts a life or two (or coins or unlimited lives for 10 minutes) every few puzzles/randomly? Or make it easier to gather lives besides paying real money or getting a gift from a group. Otherwise I have no gripes whatsoever with this game. It’s fun and challenging and makes your brain work.

Repeat levels

I used to love this game and have been playing for a while now but for the last few months they rarely update it and I’ve been playing the same boring levels over and over again. When they updated and added new levels in the past it would let me play the newer levels (like under the sea one, Vikings one and the Alice in wonderland ones for example) but I haven’t gotten to play any of those in about 6 months. It takes forever for them to update now too and for what just 2 black and white levels and 2 special lands every 2 months or so. Also when I first started playing, it used to store all your extra lives you win and you could use them when you needed them, like they were in a vault (I had well over 200 extra lives at one point), but I guess they changed it because people didn’t need to spend as much money then 🙄. Now I don’t win any lives because it said mine is full. I paid for the no ads option when I started playing (which was well worth it btw) but I’m not going to spend anymore money until they actually update the regular levels.

Enjoyable but no ad options to move forward

Well - I waited awhile to comment because I keep thinking I am overlooking something. This is a fun game - could be quite addictive - but there is no option to watch ads instead of constantly paying cash to buy game lives and tokens. I read other comments here and some people seem to have the option to watch ads in this game. I truly have no option for ads in the version I have. I am up around level 150 so the game is getting harder and I rarely move ahead on one or two tries anymore - which is normally a fun and challenging part of moving ahead in a game. I have made two purchases in the last month which is pretty decent for most games. So if some people do have ad watching options and I don’t then I am assuming if you make a purchase early on then you are put on a “no ad” track in the hopes you will presumably buy more and more. This seems heavy-handed and I won’t buy any more at all. Time to move on.

WARNING: Do NOT pay for the “No Ad” option

I’ve never seen a game penalize you for paying to remove ads. Once you do, you will LOSE the option to watch an ad to gain more time. Once you get to a certain level, it is impossible to complete any of them in the allotted time. Before I paid to remove ads, you could CHOOSE to watch an ad to get a time bonus. I thought the charge was just to remove the ads that were shown after completing every level and yes, those were very annoying. But now it is infuriating how impossible the levels are, the only way to advance is to use coins to buy more time. I’m not shelling out more money to buy coins or time bonuses. Also, there are so many bugs. Cannot gather some items no matter how many times you hit it. Sometimes the pencil stops working, and you have to use your finger before it magically works again. There is a lag on the hard levels where it takes a second to move the tapped item. Ridiculous. Deleting.

Love this game

Update: I have uninstalled the app. Unfortunately, it reaches a point where if you don’t put a bundle of money in, you’ll never win. They all tell you there is a way, but there is not, especially not in the time given. It asks if you want ad free but I never clicked that and never saw an ad so the only possible way to get what you need is via paying…a lot. Screw that! It’s addicting, very addicting. I only give it 4 stars because it doesn’t give the option of watching videos for power ups and lives. And I bought a pack, went through it in a heartbeat and won’t buy more this fast. Consequently, I have to wait 1/2 hour for a new life and power ups are stingy. I will say the same here as I have on other games, don’t get greedy! People start uninstalling! Other than that, it definitely keeps the mind going and the satisfaction from clearing a board in time is cool! 😎

Randomly Crashes

The app randomly crashes in the middle of a game, and if you have a streak going, it starts you back from 0 games won in a row instead of resuming your streak where you left off. It’s really annoying! Also, you don’t get any coins for winning the regular levels or for the bonus levels, only after winning 20 levels and for other prizes, so it takes an incredibly long time to accumulate coins. I think each level should be worth a certain amount of coins (say 5, 7, and 9), and you can watch an ad for a multiplier of your points. I also think the boosters should not cost so many coins. It takes a long time to accumulate 100 coins, and that’s how much it costs to put an extra 60 seconds on the clock if you run out of time. Overall, it’s a good concept, but it needs some tweaking for it to be a 5-star game.
