Why is it so hard?

I really like this game, but it's way too hard??? I'm only on level 55, but I have kept on getting stuck on really hard levels that take me days to complete because of limited lives. For some reason these levels are extremely complicated and difficult, and it seems like there's no way to win it without having to spend my money, which I am not going to do. I wonder if there's a way for me to play this game and have a "calm relaxing time" like the game sells it to be, without having to be frustrated with losing every single time. They have a couple "normal" easy levels, but in between every two of those, there's a super duper hard one that takes me like a week to try to pass. This makes it really really difficult to be involved with the competitions that they also put in the game, which means I never win any of the prizes, which makes me extra stuck. Can they just not make it super hard? Or put ads on the power ups?? Help :(

BUGS, BUGS, BUGS

FINAL UPDATE: Good game concept RUINED by massive list of bugs that make it unplayable. Deleting the game. Bye. GFR AND THE LIST OF BUGS JUST KEEPS GROWING. Adding to previous reviews, the game just continues to rack up more and more bugs. After clearing all blocks the game froze. No solution, had to quit and count as a loss. Then after another solve the game went into a loop with 7 consecutive ads without an escape. Developers keep adding difficulties AND reducing rewards. Maybe try fixing the ever-growing list of bugs!! Of the 3 friends who have tried the game all 3 have given up and deleted it. I have submitted a previous review documenting the bugs in the game but last night was another major one. I was leading the Diamond League by over 100 levels, leading the Piggy Race by more than 13,000, more than 2nd and 3rd places combined, and the game froze. I closed the game and powered off my device. When I restarted the device and started the game it declared the league ended and I had 0 levels so I not only didn’t receive the first place rewards but demoted me to the Ruby League. And the Piggy Race disappeared without rewards for it either. I play the game quite a bit and on 2 different devices so 2 different divisions but bugs are common. It could be 5 stars for game concept and play but so many negative stars for BUGS that the game gets way less than even 1 star. Signed, IlludiumQ36

Random resets

It’s a fun-enough time-waster game. I like that there are harder levels and regular events and challenges (some shorter or longer). The events can be buggy and reset. (Just had a 4-day event reset when I was 90% through, with less than a day left) I have also had a purchased pack disappear on me without time to recoup the rewards and ended up having to go through Apple to get a refund, so I don’t purchase anything with money any more. Also they don’t have an easy way to contact support, nor great response time once you do. Though I like having some challenge levels, it can be annoying when in a short event to get a string of 3-5 of them in a row. I don’t know if it’s designed for you to have to purchase lives to compete. Besides, the cash purchases seem expensive for what you get $1.99 for 150 coins and best booster is 130 coins, undos are 40… Also the boosters for coins are very expensive compared to the rewards you earn. The most useful one would take 26 levels (5 coins per level) of winnings to afford. And the cost an undo is the equivalent of winning 8 games. They have also reduced the top prize earned from the every-20-levels wheel spin from 100 coins (not even enough for best booster) to 50 coins

Fun but needs some help

This is a really fun game, but as other reviewers have stated, it does feel like a money grab game. It takes way too long to refill your lives, which encourages players to spend coins so they don’t have to wait. The problem is that coins are hard to come so there’s where the spending comes in. And everything requires a rather large amount of coins whether you’re trying to refill your lives or trying to use an item to help you beat a level. It’s as if they make everything too hard and too expensive so you have to spend real money in order to get anywhere, which is frustrating. I get that developers want to make money, but there should be a balance. Whenever I feel like a game is too greedy, it makes me want to quit playing altogether. But, like I said, it’s a really fun game and if they were to balance out the difficulty level a little then I think they would have a great game. I bet they would have more people willing to spend more money too, but if others are like me, then they won’t support games that feel like they are only interested in taking peoples money without actually caring about their consumers benefit.

It starts off fun than becomes like everything else.

So once you hit higher levels and it’s usually a pattern to these but seems you get screwed over due to no matter what you can not get the color you need to move on. So being stuck for days on one level, welp first time I was like whatever. Finally the sequence came up on all 3 so I can move on and the next many levels were easy than once again stuck till it finally gave you the way out of that level. It’s one thing to have many colors but seems you need to have many of the rotating of the colors to help you out which I will not buy anything. I read the other persons rating and welp the only thing I know is if you can solve everything without needing the rotating of these squares than this game would be it for me but like I said there are levels that no way will you ever get through cause you need those extra moves to do so and like time to delete this game. Theres always a pattern but these ppl want you to use the extra tabs to make more room or to rotate the colors, welp not for me. I like real puzzles that you don’t need to do all that.

You broke a great game

This game used to be great & I would have given it 5 stars… BUT, the update before last made it so your progress in tournaments was lost if you opened the app without internet. That was frustrating b/c I don’t always have access to internet. Then the update this week really ruined the game. Now you can’t play it at all offline. So no more killing time in Dr’s office’s waiting rooms, etc. Also with this last update, you can’t skip 90% of the ads. It is so annoying. It is faster to close the game & reopen it than it is for the stupid ad to finish. You can spend $8-$10 to get rid of ads, but that is ridiculous! It feels like they took a great, 5 star game, & dropped it to 1 or 2 stars. The only thing that was wrong with the original game was there wasn’t enough ways to earn the help buttons like reverse, switch, etc. That is still a problem. With this last update I really think I’ll end up deleting this game & downloading a similar game. There are definitely more out there. I also liked the graphics & colors better before the update, but that is just a personal preference. I’m so disappointed that they ruined my favorite game.

Hard Levels and money grabbing

This game started off to be fun and satisfying but levels start to get hard around like level 40 and up. I continue to get stuck on one level for days and like most other games, they don't offer ads to watch to possibly skip the level. Also seems like just as you are about to win it decides to not give the color you need. I like that there are hard levels here and there as most games use, but it seems as though the game makes it impossible to win. Most other games that are similar have hard levels as well, but they don’t take as long as this game, I can pass those the same day and not have to use all my lives. Lives also take a long time to build up as well. There are also a lot of competitions, but it’s hard to participate and win anything as you need to win levels to move up. Coins are not easy to come by in this game. Seems like they make it so we have to spend money on coins to get extra moves or use the helper tools. Not to mention half the time when you use those they are useless. This could be a cool game, but the creators need to make the game more easier and efficient.

Okay

UPDATE: I’m now on level 734. I like that the bus levels are different every day and challenging so thanks for that! Although I’ve really enjoyed this game, I feel like I’m over it. There are 3 levels within a level and I’m getting sick of winning the first two and losing the third over and over again. I understand that it needs to be challenging but it’s still really discouraging to lose over and over and over again. Then when you finally win it, you move on to the next level only to repeat the same process. If only there was a way to get powerups without spending money. As I said, this game is really fun but I think it’s run its course for me. Thanks for a good time, developers! First review: I play this game every day. I really like the challenge but why do we get 3 or 4 hard levels in a row? I get discouraged being stuck on the same one for two weeks. I like the hard levels but certainly not one after the other. I can’t ever win the bomb event. Also, is it just me or are the daily challenges the same ones over and over again?
