No explanation to use keys - changed my eval

While I like the game, i have looked and looked and asked for an explanation, but nothing! I keep earning keys, but all I can determine is that I can store ONE shape in the box and ONLY one, even tho I have over seven hundred keys! Also when I try to get the 3 “free” rotations, i have to watch sometimes 3 ads! I will probably soon delete this game. Came back again to see if there had been added any explanation for use of the keys. Nope! Nothing! One review says he gets rotation coins when his meter run across the line at the top. I still get these useless keys! Going to have to downgrade to one star until they explain or fix! Received a response finally. They say the key will be usable with next update. I hope so! If it is, I’ll have to raise my evaluation. Ok! Keys now can be turned into rotate coins! Yay! It cost 100 keys to receive 8~12 coins, which seems high to me, but I’ll take it. Now I’m enjoying the game much more and my score is getting higher! Thanks, developers!

Sort of an Attention Keeper

Been playing this game awhile now. Way too many Ads! Ads after every game, Ads to get bonus points! Clear out the Ad when started and go back to the game app and start again. Still an interruption but less of game time taken. Never ceases to make me want to quit playing as it forces choices with the blocks not needed and it has to be placed somewhere and eventually the game ends due to no more space. As the game progresses, pieces are given that is not needed: lots and lots of angle pieces that eventually cannot fit, then the long pieces arrive and then the large square. This is not a game of random pieces given to play with. Its programmed for you to lose. Its like a game of Chess playing against a computer - try as you can, you will lose eventually. The best way to get points is to play the game without using points to rotate and try to clear three or four rows to get bonus points. Takes awhile to get points. There are other ways available to get points. Now they have provided another game set that you can play but no points are given. If you need to rotate then it comes off your supply - nothing is given in return so its fun trying to clear the board without using your points. It is on a time schedule for only a few days. Use it as a break for something different but don’t use your points to rotate! Have fun trying to go as long as you can.

WAY TO MANY ADS!!!!!

This version of this game can be pretty fun. And you can spend a lot of time playing it. The problem is the ads. They’re incessant. They’re constant. They’re ridiculously long and anything you want to do to advance in the game requires you select something that’s gonna present you with another set of ads that lasts anywhere from one to up to (in some cases) three minutes of multiple ads. It’s ridiculous. These app companies that are building these games need to find another revenue source or other ways to engage consumers in commerce that they benefit from. It’s either incessant advertising that’s completely disruptive to the experience of actually playing the game or they want you to agree to their privacy policy where they’re going to have access to all your information on your device and sell it to third parties, insisting that you consented it in order to play their game. I’m sure most people don’t mind some level of advertising but this is crazy. Its invasive. It’s just absolutely ridiculous and stupid. It’s a shame that companies can’t realize that they are inconveniencing the very customers they are seeking to participate in applications they build.

Ugh

So, I have a lot of problems with the game, and only a few things that I like. For the things I like- the sounds, some visuals, and sadly, that’s it. Things I don’t like are the insane amount of ads, constant updates that help literally nothing, and that they changed the pictures for the adventure mode again. (Ive had to do the Mona Lisa 3 times now 🙄). I also never seem to have the events mentioned in the App Store. Are they just more fake advertisement? I haven’t had the current thing with color blocks, the last thing with skyscrapers, or anything else, despite frequently checking for updates. Maybe they’re fake like other ads of the game, but still. If I find another game similar that doesn’t lie about events, I’ll probably delete the game. Also, if people are so desperate to make money that they overload their game with ads, why don’t they add a way to pay and remove ads? I don’t know how much you make with the ads, but this is insane.

Great game, terrible ads!

The game is mildly challenging and fun. and basic operations are easy to discern, but explanations for the bells and whistles are missing or buried where I can’t find them. But my biggest criticism is the ads—too many, too frequent and frustratingly designed. In fact, I spend at least equal amounts of time playing the game and wrestling with the frustrating ads. Icons like mute and cancel are often very small, placed in extreme corners so that you can’t actually use them, or must press the icon multiple times, often without success. In addition, most ads require player to loop between several screens with various gimmicks designed to get the player to download an app they don’t want. Often the different screens take you in a repetitive loop to the point of extreme frustration. I can’t find an “ad free” version for which I would be happy to pay a reasonable price. The frustrating ads turn a great game (and satisfaction from playing it) into an exercise in stress creation and endurance. For this reason I am going to uninstall what should have been an absorbing, stress-relieving, and fun game app. So sad.

Way too many ads you can’t buy away

My favorite wood block game by far. I love it. But there are simply too many ads and they are too long. There are ads when you beat a level. Ads when you don’t. Ads when you Retry a level. And some ads you can skip through after several seconds but most you can’t. The ones you can take several clicks to get out of with several seconds between each click. Most games have that, so I can’t entirely fault this one. But leaving that aside the frequency and length of ads in this game is borderline obnoxious. Developers have to be able to make a living and I’m totally okay with that. But there has to be a balance and what makes it worse is that the game is so fun I’d GLADLY pay to get rid of the ads… But this game doesn’t offer that option. So instead of five stars, it’s getting three and I’ll likely delete it. I’ve played it for weeks now, hoping I’d get used to it. I didn’t. I’m giving up.

Good game until bugs, freezing, crashing

The game is good. Very intriguing and thought-provoking. On the other hand, it can get mildly infuriating when you have to kill the app's processes just to reboot because the game froze due to an ad that never fully loaded or simply crashed at an unfortunate part of the game. This gets extremely frustrating when you're in a challenge stage and the progress doesn't save. So now you have to force stop the app just to reboot and start all over. Please out out a hotfix that eludes to the game not crashing. I've played this game on multiple devices on all of the newest iOS versions yet the crashing seems most persistent on iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. These are far from potato devices so for the game’s optimization to be lacking so heavily is very frustrating. Update the app and fix the bugs.

I don’t get it

The game that opens is nothing like the previews. The previews make it seem like a cross between Tetris and wood blocks, but it’s just wood blocks with some different shapes. Hello! We’re really sorry to hear that the game didn’t match what you expected from the previews. Our intention is to showcase the core gameplay and feel of the game through the ads, but we understand how disappointing it can be when the actual experience feels different — especially if you were expecting a unique blend like Tetris and wood blocks. Your feedback is very important to us, and we’ll definitely share it with our team so we can better align future promotions with the real in-game experience. Thank you for trying the game and for taking the time to share your thoughts. Thanks for the response, but obviously the feedback isn’t that important to you , because 90% of the comments are complaining about the false advertising and it sure doesn’t seem like you’re doing anything about it.
