the game itself is great... when it decides to work. the app is awful and makes playing the game impossible
The game is fun, but as others have said, there are WAY TOO MANY ADS! It is clearly designed, not for any enjoyment, but to force you to watch ads or pay money. I understand the whole point is to make money, but this is ridiculous. At a certain point, every other time you hit deal it forces you into an ad break. doesn't matter if it's been 10 seconds or 3 minutes. Then, it constantly gives you terrible deals where you can't make a single move so that you're forced to watch another ad.
at first its good but later it goes to impossible to do. and without gems you can really finish a level. it sortve takes away the fun to just you losing all your hearts wither you have gems or money to buy gems itll be you losing everytime.
downloaded this app because it said "no ads". lue detector determined THAT was a lie. so lying to potential users doesn't bode well with me.
why did I spend $11.99 yesterday for NO ADS. To have ADS again today?????
mujhe yah game bahut pasand hai lekin ab ye nahin chal Pa raha hai online
No Ads? LIES. I purchased the Ad Remover pack and almost immediately got fed an ad anyways. LIES AND SELF-SLANDER. I want my time and money back.
This game is a scam!!. must pay real money or watch.several extremely long ads most over a minute. uninstalling and occur every 30 seconds. devs say ads to allow for development. 1 minute add pays deves 1.00. therefore all the ads make devs millionaires.
boring
Same lazy and greedy team You can tell this company just spams games for ad revenue if you see the race display is so low effort. Likely they acquire smaller games and just spam then with small changes and fill with ads vs make quality games
made it past level 119 was damn near almost impossible but I made it continued playing put it down for the night go back on in the morning and im back to level 119
way too many very long adds! over and over and over....
Ads practically every minute! I have honestly spent more time watching ads than playing the game. I gave this game a chance, but there are times when I feel like it purposefully makes you lose levels to try to get you to buy or use the power ups. I feel like I would play some levels at 99% completion for 15-30 minutes and complete others within one or two moves. There's no rhyme or reason to what you really need to achieve the next level. I'm deleting!
I had actually opted to install this... until I got to the end of the ad, and found that it was going to force me to the install page anyway. I find that to be too pushy, and honestly kinda shady.
I just have to say, if I wasn't pregnant with no desire to participate in my regular hobbies, I would not be playing this game. the concept is fun, but there gets to a point where you literally cannot progress in the game unless you watch ads for power ups. And even THEN, those power ups don't even get you through the level, so you're stuck waiting to get lucky with you next lives since this game leaves everything up to an impossible chance to win. stupid game. make it actually possible to win..
I am frustrated because there's no confirmation button for the spaces when they still need gems to buy the space. I didn't want to buy the space but now my gems are gone because of a misclick. my day is ruined, my experience is ruined, the sense of accomplishment is gone because I just bought my way to finishing a level I had been working on for days just because of a misclick.
Fun game, but there's more ads than game play, it's resource heavy so your phone runs hot and your battery drains fairly quickly, you can't pass certain levels without watching ads or paying money and worst of all every once in a while it'll redirect you to a fake security warning. If you enjoy watching ads and falling for fake security pop-ups, than this game is for you.
full screen ads with no reward
like all mobile games too many adds and I am deffo not paying for it
Once you reach level 145 ish, it just becomes "watch ads to progress" the game. The levels become literally impossible to progress without either spending money or watching an ad to reshuffle the stacks. Actually infuriating to play.
poorly optimized - turns your device into a burning brick.
lvls purposely designed to not be able to pass without pay-only helping tools.
game sucks ahh so frustrating don't download 😭
Holy cow, way too many forced "ad breaks", a lot of the ads are entirely too long, other than that, the concept is pretty good. Uninstalled, do not recommend.
ok, it's REALLY frustrating that if you need to use a clue, you can watch an add, that part is ok Even if the adds are all 2 minutes). But, the watch an add choice is not even available if you have enough gems to buy a clue. so there is basically no way to save enough coins for hard levels.
Not able to uninstall from my phone.
they will deal with impossible hands which makes the challenge system meaningless
forced adds repeatedly just to try and force a ridiculous charge for no adds... semi entertaining but absolutely not worth the pain of all those adds good luck!
pops up virus ads in browser all the time like your phone has an issue. shouldn't have unclicked advertisements that take you out of the app. the issue isn't the frequency of ads, it's that it pops an ad to the browser that makes it look like you have a virus on your phone. it's deceitful and not even an ad you've clicked on.
There's too many "ad breaks" cant play for 30 seconds without excessive amounts of ads. and theyre the long ads too. So the ratio of gameplay to ad is really bad.
It'd be great if I could play without the ad breaks locking up the game every other time I clear a column. I have to close the app,start again & it still does it.
was enjoying this game until it asked for my personal data..
It was a very good game, with a decent soundtrack for a mobile game and I had fun playing but at some point a pop up appeared with a gem offer with an ai generated mascot. As a person who is strictly anti-ai art, I uninstalled immediately as I do not support apps with ai slop. too bad. could have been a nice game. please hire real artists.
starts you with trash ADS EVERY BOOT UP. SHUT UP SOMETIMES
after reaching level 129 it's only a matter of luck or p2w since there is no valid move on first start and doing 4 deals in a row still no valid move. It is now becoming luck only how the deal give you
I'm dissatisfied with it doesn't let you accomplish the goal of going up on the number yourself it fills it in for you I understand rewards but this just like doing the work for me. deleted.
Do you like watching more ads than YouTube and have poor anger management! Well this is the game for you!!! At first, I loved this game. Just don't get too attached, because eventually it becomes pay to play. Seriously, you can't get past 140 without watching ads for items. and those run out. Best way to not get frustrated you may ask? Simple, uninstall the app or better yet, don't even start
theoretically great game, but far too many ads
UPDATE: This game is completely rigged against you and WILL softlock you before you can unlock a new slot, forcing you to use power ups and gems (which take forever to make) presumably to make you pay to proceed. I am currently softlocked as the "Deal" button keeps giving me coins that fill up the slots but can't be sorted through.
So... I waited to play for a while before I did a review. It seems that once you get to a certain stage or level... the game starts to freeze. Really inconvenient because it seems to happen when I am trying to watch an ad to get a free power up. It was fun up until this point... I'm not going to keep restarting the game... this game is now on the clock. If this is not fixed... I am deleting.
eh it's ok but I am sure ads are going to overrun it
it's an ok time waster game
fun game but it design not to give you any way out certain level unless you use your power up are buy a package deal.
it's an enjoyable game, but since hitting level 116 (approx.) it has 2 coin stacks more than available slots. I've also been at 99% of level 119 for two days, and it won't kick over no matter how many stacks I complete. I can't build up gems to open another slot because the lack of slots makes me have to use help to advance
i cant open it anymore. why?
O jogo é realmente relaxante... até alcançar a ficha número 21, onde fica impossível você passar, pois sempre que você distribui novas fichas, você precisa comprar um espaço extra ou assistir um anúncio obrigatório para abrir mais um espaço para organizar. isso é horrível, porque trava completamente o jogo. eu desisti do jogo por isso e não voltarei a jogar
really fun game until you get into the 130-40s, at this point it just gives you impossible sequences in the levels that you cant beat without watching an ad or spending money/gems, really annoying and just not as fun anymore (update) now that ive finally passed the level I was stuck on the level that the next slot unlocks at, changes, ridiculous
the app has way to many adds, normally minimum 2x adds together and they pop up very often. I uninstalled it
I enjoy this game. I really do. BUT that is severely affected by ads. Rarely do I opt to voluntarily watch ads for in-game boosters solely due to the amount of random forced ads ("ad-break"). And when you return to game after forced ad, your coins are all shuffled.. progress seemingly ignored. Do not recommend this game unless you love excessive and forced ads.
I get that its a free game and that you make your money through ads, but the whole "ad break" garbage mid-level is ridiculous. Do it after a level completion or to earn rewards or something, but the ad break for approx every minute of gameplay makes me not only not want to play your game, but it ruins any potential you would have had of me making any sort of in app purchase. People are sick and tired of being bombarded with ads left and right.
