The best so far

I downloaded several games to test them and this was, hands down, the best one. The graphics are smooth, the levels are challenging (I’m at level 170 or so) and all of the. Have been doable without using any special prizes, but there are several levels that have been hard enough that I’ve lost several lives trying to figure them out, there’s even been about 4 or 5 levels that I had to find a walkthrough to get help on them….not because they were impossible, but because there is a time limit on each level, and sometimes it’s hard to figure it out within the time limit. I have paid for no ads on this game because it’s a keeper. It’s great for waking up in the morning and getting my adrenaline going. One of the best gaming downloads I’ve had in a while. I do wish there was an option to solve a puzzle without the timer and do that several times to get under the time limit. Some of the levels are super hard (judging by how the level numbers come up on a google search I’m not alone) and I’d love to be able to figure it out myself and get my speed up to pass it myself without a walkthrough, but this is the only way I can do a couple of the levels. Maybe you’ll have better luck.

Please fix the bugs

I’ve been playing this game for around a year now, and while it’s pretty good, the recent updates have caused bugs that I can no longer look past. Since the barrier update, there has been a glitch where, even on levels that there is no moving barrier, you can’t place blocks in specific areas and they get teleported to the next available spot the way they do when you try to place them on an open barrier in the barrier levels. This has caused me to lose several games because I couldn’t place the blocks in the areas I needed. Now there is a new bug on top of this, where I open the game and, maybe after a minute of it being open, the music to the game starts playing and I can’t turn it off despite disabling it in settings. I always had the sound off before as I preferred listening to my own music, and this is something I can’t look past. I can’t focus on the game with this blaring, annoying music playing on repeat, and I’d rather not have to listen to it over and over instead of my own music because I can’t turn it off. I love this game, and I was willing to let bugs and inconveniences slide, but the music was the last straw. I can no longer happily play this game until these things are fixed, so until then, I am giving a two star review in hopes someone will see this and fix it. Devs, please get this fixed soon, because I really don’t want to stop playing because of a simple glitch.

Timer Needs Adjustment PLEASE

I really want to love this game. The timer is stressful and unreasonable. This is a game I would purchase and probably spend other money on if the developers could listen to their audience, please, and fix the timer issue. There are hard levels with only one minute to complete the level and I’m finding that sometimes I’m hitting the pieces trying to move them and they don’t move quickly at all, which takes up some of my time and that begins to make the game stressful instead of fun and challenging. Also, 900 points and it's hard to earn points?!? Ugh. It's a set up to fail. Then you only have 5 lives. I can run through those pretty quickly as I'm trying to beat that timer then I just have to move on to another game. And when I come back I'll end up having to play levels so many times trying to beat the same now boring level, that at this point, I know how to beat, but I can’t get the pieces to move fast enough for me to beat the timer that you know what happens? I'll just go to another game at that point. I came here to write a review and then I see so many people are writing reviews about the same issues that I’m having with this game. to whomever made this game, you have something good here, but it needs to be better, please take into account what so many people are suggesting. Thank you.

Fun game, with a fatal flaw

Honestly I love mostly everything about the game. The art is very pleasant, the animations are satisfying, and the gameplay is downright addictive. The only thing I don’t like is that you’re forced to complete the levels within a certain timeframe. I understand that it’s integral to their gameplay and monetization model; not beating the level in the time allotted loses you a life, you have a limited amount of lives, but you can buy more in-game currency to buy more lives and keep playing. That’s what they want, and I won’t fault the publishers for trying to make money off of a game that obviously had a lot of work go into it. But it really does ruin my enjoyment when I just straight up can’t play anymore when I run out of lives because I was maybe 5 swipes away from finishing a level. I also understand that many people probably enjoy the challenge of needing to finish the level within a time limit, that puts a bit of stress in that intensifies things. So removing the time limit isn’t an option. But maybe make it a toggle? Like if you want to turn the time limit off click a button in the settings or something. Even if you make that toggle available via in-app purchase, I would like to have that option if possible. Otherwise I just can’t see myself playing more of this game.

Some suggestions

This game is honestly pretty fun, it’s not insanely hard and frustrating but it’s also not too easy and boring. I do have some suggestions though on how to improve the user experience. First I think that the amount of coins you get after each level should depend on the difficulty of the level, instead of just being 40 coins each time. I also feel like you should get more coins on average, as the price of power-ups and stuff feels kind of high relative to how fast you get coins. Second, I feel like there should be an option to watch an ad to continue a level instead of just having the option to pay 900 coins. This would be nice because if you don’t have enough coins it’s easy to get stuck on a level for a while as you have no way of getting extra time. Additionally, I feel like there should be more ways to get coins instead of just getting them from beating levels, as it can create this sort of cycle where you need coins to help you pass levels, but you can’t get more coins without passing levels. As it stands, this game is pretty decent and great for passing time, though I do hope the developers consider suggestions and work to improve the user experience. :)

Good game BUT...

This is a good challenging game BUT it really wants you to spend actual money on this game. You get 40 coins after completing each level and you still have to watch an ad. So might as well, get double coins (80) to watch the ad since you are going to watch it after all. It takes 900 coins to extend your game for 20 seconds if you fail to complete it in the required time. You have to win 12 games to get that 900 coins. When the levels are difficult 20 seconds is not enough time. Heck, you're still figuring out what to move and then the time is gone. Once you reach level 130, every other level is a hard level. Regular level , hard level, regular level, extremely hard level, and repeat. This makes it extremely hard to complete. Developers, 900 coins for a 20 second extended time is not realistic. Either lower the coin requirement or extend the extension time. I play other games similar to this and their extended time is far longer than 20 seconds and their games you have to play 10 games versus your 12 games to get enough coins. We need daily reward for just logging in to play. Something! Even a daily reward challenge would be nice to win items that we need. Many of us are on a limited income and cannot purchase coins and items.

Puzzles are great, gameplay is smooth, but the Lives system holds it back

You get 5 lives. The lives take 30 minutes each to replenish. Of course you can spend money or watch ads to replenish the lives faster. I think this really holds the game back and makes it very frustrating. It is this alone that makes me take two stars away. I understand developers want to make money off these games, but this is the most frustrating method for generating revenue I’ve ever encountered. I want to play the game now, but you won’t let me? I have to wait half an hour, and if I can’t solve the puzzle then, then I have to wait another half an hour? Couple this with VERY tight time limits on the harder levels, and you blow through lives very quickly. You might get a minute and a half to complete a “Very Hard” level. Most of these levels you will lose once or twice if not more just to get an idea of a method to solve it. Removing the lives system altogether and replacing it with ads after every level would be a better solution in my opinion. At least then I get to play when I want. And it might incentivize me to pay for ad removal. I’m not going to pay to remove ads on a game that I can only play for a few minutes every several hours.

ALMOST perfect

Like the title says, this is ALMOST the perfect game. The concept is great, the shredding of the blocks is very satisfying, I would literally play this for hours except for the fact that every. single. level. is timed. All of them. Most of them you are not given enough time by far, which is only complicated later when you start getting things like time bomb pieces thrown at you. It really gets irritating when you’re immersed in the puzzle and right when you’re on the verge of figuring it out the timer dies and you have to start from square one. This plus the limited lives means I stop playing after 10-15 minutes instead of the hours that I want to spend on it. I get why they do it, they want to drive people to drop money on coins and power ups so they’ll be able to get through the level. But it leaves a bad taste on an otherwise awesome game. Just sprinkle them in there on harder levels, it’s ridiculous for every level to be timed and to give a ridiculously complex ‘very hard’ puzzle only 35 seconds to be solved. I’m almost at the point of deleting the app because it’s more frustrating than fun now.
