Bubble Witch 3 Saga

App Store Editors’ Notes

This one!

If you’re looking for a game that is fun for adults but easy enough for kids to play on your phone too, this is it. No ads popping up and no pressure to buy something to be able to continue your game. I appreciate this most of all. You do have the option to purchase, but it’s not forced on you and that is a big deal to me. In fact, I’ve chosen to make an occasional purchase to support the game, specifically because they never made me feel obligated to do it! You do have the option to connect with friends, but no pressure to do so and I’ve been playing just fine without it. The accuracy of the ball aim has improved significantly since the old version. Some levels can be really challenging, but eventually you figure out which cat’s ability will help you most to get you to the end of the level, if you have no boosters left to use. Boosters are simple to earn, by waking up the tree, updating your home, finding the key to the treasure chest, or playing in the no-pressure tournament! I’m a first responder. Sometimes I need an escape to decompress from calls. This game allows me to think through things to ease my mind, while playing. Social media and/or games that are competitive (like candy games) do not do that. Don’t change a thing, and I’ll be a long-time supporter!

I love this game

Bubble Witch is one of my favorite mobile games ever. It reminds me of one of the first disk computer games I ever played of the same genre. I have logged 905 levels over the last two years and plan to log another 905. I haven’t spent much money on the game just because it’s possible to win without it. I have bought a few lives and bubbles here and there in support of the dev but I find it more fun to try and beat the game with what it provides because if you’re strategic and you get a little lucky you can beat whole worlds without needing to use the extra power bubbles. My only complaint and the only reason I can’t give it 5 stars is because I seem to regularly get the same glitch every so many worlds where my bubbles, the rotator that they spawn in and the line path of the bubbles just don’t work the way they should. I have no idea what triggers it, no idea how to fix it, I’ve been lucky and after a few days it will fix itself on its own but it’s pretty frustrating particularly when you happen to be on a really good winning streak and then things just stop reacting the way they should. It’s really irritating because I definitely love this game and would like to keep playing uninterrupted but no dice. Trying to talk to the support team is also particularly difficult because there isn’t an option to talk about a glitch and they run you through a lot of automated responses if you email them. It’s definitely still worth playing though. It is one of the better games developed by King, definitely one of the more fair games, level design wise.

Skill + Luck

I am finally writing a review after playing over 1000 levels. When a newcomer starts the game there will be a, perhaps frustrating, learning curve. Each type of level, “free the owls”, “clear all bubbles”, “help the ghost”, have a slightly different strategy, and you aren’t helped if the bubble combinations aren’t the best. Some levels are easy to win on the first go. Others may take a more than one set of “lives”. That’s a near-perfect luck and strategy combination. So far, I haven’t found myself “forced to spend money”, but I have purchased the piggy’s gold bars to get “lives” a couple of times this year. Partly that was because I wanted to keep playing when I was at the top of a tournament, and partly that was because I figured I owed King something for the months of fun gaming. I DON’T buy the power-ups. They are also awarded free for achieving goals, and my strategy is to use these free aids only if I see the finish line and calculate that using one will get me the win. Thanks, King!

Highly Disappointed

I have been playing BubbleWitch3 for a couple of years now and have advanced to puzzle number 1012+. However; lately the perks offered through the practice of watching ads to receive extra bubbles, extra lives, & power bubbles has greatly malfunctioned, meaning I have wasted my time watching a commercial and received absolutely nothing in return. Another issue resides with the offered ability to receive special power bubbles through releasing witch hats within the puzzle are also not properly working anymore. This most recent puzzle that I am on, which falls under the difficult level, is impossible to win without the ad perks, witch hat, or treasure chest gifts short of buying a win. The treasure chest for the last 3 days has given me nothing but 150 potion points which is not going to help me achieve the level I’m currently stuck on for the last two or three days. I wrote into the app email telling them I would attempt to settle the discrepancy before leaving a negative review. However, nothing has changed. This is why I’m here now. Games are supposed to be fun, not stressful and there is some kind of bug in the game program that needs to be fixed. Another problem is that every time I go into the game, they ask me to sign in to Facebook. I do not use Facebook anymore and wish they would stop asking me to sign in with Facebook. It’s none of Facebook’s business how I’m advancing throughout this game, or the type of ads I’m exposed to while playing bubble witch.

Awesome! But very hard..

I remember playing this game when I was a toddler. I love this game, if your looking in the reviews to see if it sounds like a good game, trust me it is. I’m sure you will like it. But I can’t pass level 20. I think they make it way too hard. I don’t know how other people can pass it, but I can’t. Please don’t make them hard. I get a little mad sometimes when I have to redo them until I pass it. In my mind I’d put a new one to see if it’s easier for you. Just to let you it is hard. Anyways, my favorite part was when you had to try to beat the cat, he would keep adding more bubbles and the more he would fall down, the more the percentage that would go down. That was fun, but In fact, I’m still mad that you can’t pass the level. The ages you can play it is until 4 years old. Do you even think 4 years old people can pass any level? Huh? I mean, it was hard for me when I was little. Please don’t make it so hard. It makes me upset when I can’t even pass level 20. It gets boring when you have to keep redoing the same thing over and over again. If it keeps doing it, I might as well stop playing the game and find another game that’s more fun to play. So please do something about it and the replies we get back from our reviews doesn’t help anything. It’s hard. And you’ll probably think the same thing as me when you get to any high level. I feel like any comment I get back on this review will not help anything at all. Cuz usually the comments I see that people get back, doesn’t seem like it would help. Plus, I don’t know what’s wrong, but after a second or so, I couldn’t hear the bubbles popping. Is it suppose to be like that? Because I could hear the music from the background but no the bubbles popping. So if it isn’t, I think you need to fix it. Anyways, Happy Thanksgiving!😊

The frogs ruined the game for me!

I previously left a good feedback but I can’t find it to edit it, so this is a new one. I have to admit that i was very addicted to this game. I like almost everything about it and the variety plus the smooth gameplay, however, once you reach the level with the frogs that freezes your bubbles, might as well delete the game there, you are not gonna be able to win after that. The first couple of rounds with the frogs were hard but acceptable, everyone likes a little challenge. But you will come to a level where there are tons of them and at that point there nothing you can do to best that level. Ive used all of my power up, even watch an ad to start with a free booster, plus all of my boosters that I already have saved up, 3 hours of unlimited lives, and i still couldn’t beat the level. I think the frogs ruined the game for me and i will not spend a penny more on this game. Once you reach the level with the frogs, you’ll see ehat im talking about. I am going to look for a similar game that is a little bit more fair to their fans.

TOO MANY POPUPS

So I’ve never had to complain about popups that have nothing to do with ads. While I do love the game and all the things that it includes. I absolutely HATE how many things pop up in between levels or even after opening the app for the first time (or seventh time) in a day. Otherwise known as the animations. It would be nice if I could open the app, it open to the Home Screen of current levels I’m on and not have to wait for An Event notice to pop up, followed by a new challenge, or any other kind of notification that I don’t care about. If there was an icon for the notifications that you could click on IF your interested instead of EVERYTHING popping up every single time you beat a level it would be so much better. I don’t need to see the piggy bank, the fact that I earn another gold pin, or my high score ranking, my placement in the Top 5 EVERY time I beat a level. Otherwise I would give the app 5 stars. But the annoying delays between levels really takes away from the fun of level advancement. Get rid of some of the animations or at least make an option to turn them off or skip them.

Game Started Freezing! Help!

Normally, when I need a few more bubbles, I just watch the three videos to get more bubbles so I can finish the level. For the last couple of days, it lets me watch the first video, returns me to the page with Stella on it, and then seems to get stuck. It isn’t freezing; there are still some background movement such as the swirling pool and what I imagine is magic swirling around Stella. However, it won’t do anything else. I don’t get any more bubbles nor can watch another video. The only choice is to quit out of BubbleWitch3. I have been playing this game for quite a few years and this is the first time I ever had this problem. I found a chat where other people have been recently having this exact same problem. I hope someone is taking notice and can offer some suggestions or fix this glitch. This is my favorite game so hate to lose it.
