Good game w/ too many ads. It's one thing to play the occasional ad, or give players the option to watch an ad for additional points or game perks, but to force players to watch an ad after every game ends is ridiculous. Very frustrating. That said, i still play, so it's obviously an entertaining game. It would have gotten 4 stars if not for the annoying incessant ads. P.S. To get around the ads just exit the game when a round ends and then reopen. Its quicker than watching ads everytime.

Not all thrilled. The play is addictive and I really enjoy. There are too many ads. I can deal with that, but there are bugs. The ads are usually zoomed in and you have to close the game to get off the ad. There's multiple level to each ad. And why do I get coins if I'm unable to spend them on something. I also get a pop-up saying I can go the the store, but it doesn't work and I've never seen a store! And forget get a hold of anyone. They never respond!

Before the recent update this would have been five stars. There was a forced update which IMHO was undesirable. It now displays an ad all the time. Also, when I tried to open it again and it froze on the opening page with the name of the app. Makers of this game say they fixed bugs. I didn't experience bugs until this update. Please put it back the way it was!

Gameplay Good. Love the audio. 2 issues: 1, it teaches to flip block sets but then says you need to pay to get more flips. It's misleading and had I known they were for charge, I would have conserved them better in the beginning. 2- I don't mind the ads but i dont like that the app automatically opens Google play and web pages for ads. Hitting x doesn't close ads, it opens links. It doesn't gain trust for me as a consumer. Also, it spams me notifications when the app is closed for an hour.

I really like this game, I'm able to play it mindlessly while doing other things like being on the phone. However my only issue with the game is the location of the rotation button at the bottom. Whenever I try to swipe up from the bottom to get out of the game I always end up hitting the rotation button and I lose all my coins without realizing it. It really sucks going from hundreds of coins to nothing and not realizing you're doing it. Other than that, I love this game.

Couldn't even finish first round without the game locking up. I do like games like this but by the time I got to level 6 or 7 my patience ran out. When you spend more time waiting for the lag and ads than playing the game its not worth the effort. Another decent game ruined by an overabundance of ads. I'm ok with ads bringing in $ to support free games but when to insert too many ads too frequently it kills the game. The concept is fine but this game belongs on my list of worst experiences.

This game used to be great. Yes, there's ads, but hitting the go-back made the ads shorter. Suddenly, in the last week,(today is 3-30-2020) I've lost my ability to collect points, which allowed me to switch direction. After completing enough points to get to the 2000, which gave 200 points to my 'bank', all is gone. Now, you get nothing for completing, also no daily box. This game is useless now. I played every day, but uninstalling the game. You had a good thing, but it's ruined now.

Down With Ads! This game is great fun. Wish there was an ad-free version to purchase as the minimum 5 second ad after each game gets old pretty quickly. I love the simplicity of the challenge & the ability to go at your own pace. There are no hidden "you're-gonna-have-to-buy-stuff-to-really-have-fun" moments. Great game - would have been 5 stars for an ad-free version.

Initially, I liked the game. It was fun, relaxing even but then, when advertisements began to pop up for Pandora around the 200 level mark it went downhill. I tried to hit the "x" button to close the add, when I accidentally clicked on the ad itself. That's not normally a problem. Usually, it takes me to the app store and then I go back into the game. This time, it downloaded the app WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. In my phone's settings, the option for this app to download other apps is disabled. FIX IT

While an enjoyable game, the ads slow the playing time down. It was an 'every two games' thing. Now it's after every single game. I would even consider paying the $3.99 for an ad-free version, but not per *MONTH*. That's ridiculous. I'm finding myself playing less because of the intrusive ads. Make the fee a one-time charge, and I will gladly pay.

The game is certainly fun, and quite addictive, actually. However, it could greatly benefit from additional game play options. There's no bonus, add-ons, power ups, etc. No competitions (other than the monthly leaderboard). Nothing. It would be great if there was the ability to rotate the blocks, or always have three choices where you use one block and another shows up. How about a tournament? WordScapes, made by the same company, has all sorts of events, so I'm not sure why this one doesn't.

Idea is OK, gameplay easy to pick up. Not very engaging though, no real reason to keep playing , especially since you cannot rotate the blocks at all. You can have the best set up, and then the game decides you can't play anymore and gives you pieces you can't use. There are no freebies, no spiffs to replay. So, the round ends, you get some points, rinse wash repeat. I see in the other reviews you get coins and can pay to rotate blocks? Never had that option. Pretty boring overall nd unistalled

I can't recommend any game that hijacks the exit functions on my phone. I know developers don't have control over the ads shown between free games, but they do control the permissions established when their games are downloaded. This one prevents swiping up to get to the home, tile, or back buttons during ads, you can't get out. I don't mind watching ads for free games but not if I lose control of basic phone functions. Nice game, but doesn't feel safe.

It's fun, I would have given it more stars I'd not for the ridiculous amount of ads that play. You get an ad before every single game, which is ridiculous and a huge waste of time. And I'm not exactly well off, I don't have those extra dollars to spend to get rid of ads. I wish there was a game out there with absolutely no ads, that's fun and not glitchy.

I want to enjoy the game, but there are a few bugs that make it impossible to play. The biggest of these is the app refusing to load upon opening; it just sits on the logo screen and never opens. Even closing the app completely and reopening does nothing. The ads cause the sound to cut out during game, so you have to close and reopen to get the sounds back. No point in keeping a game the you can not play. Deleted.

I like the game. But it would be way better if the game had actual levels. Like for the first level once you get over 1000 you go to level 2. Once you get over 5000 you advance to the next level and each level is more challenging then the next. This would greatly improve the game keep people interested because then it's more of a challenge and every one loves a good challenge.

The game is fun and enjoyable on the surface. Seems overly simple at first glance. After few plays you quickly realize that you do have to exercise some sort of strategy to elevate your score. Pro Tip: Don't bother looking at the leader boards to compare your score. You will get no where near the highs (seriously). Either this is a Freemium game and paying for ad free boosts your score (*wink*) or they are bs. There are also no modes, so play is pretty basic. And where is the "T" shape??
