★★★★★ "Fun game. Too many ads between games. I understand ads when you win. But minute long ads? Takes almost as long to watch the ad to get to the next game as it does to actually play the level. I was on level 35ish. I’m done. I can’t keep doing this." - Chris1242637352

Paywalls and ads galore
Don’t wait your time downloading this app. You’ll hit a level that isn’t possible to pass without watching an abundance of ads or pay your way through it.
Visual
Design is too blurry and compared to similar game it is very bad
Way too many ads!
This could be fun except there are ads after every single game! Long ads.
Not for me.👎🏼

Total cheat
This game will purposely bury the pieces you need not just to make it difficult, but to make it impossible without either spending money or watching ads to get past the level
Trash
Scam
Waste of Time
You literally spend more time watching long ads than playing the game.
Misleading feature
I loved this game originally. I was able to watch an ad to save myself once and after a few levels now it won’t let me continue and says “The ad is not ready” every time I try to keep playing.
Broken ads
Ads freeze, so you are forced to use your coins. Wasted many coins so far…
What happened?!
Yeah. When you make a level impossible to move past unless you watch an effin video to open more spaces you've lost me. Used to be a good little game.
Rigged
Constantly only options are boxes to collect bolts in the same color so that you cannot proceed without purchase. Constant!
Pop ups are absolutely obnoxious
A very cute game but it’s insane how many pop-ups for random games and add-ons and opportunities to buy and daily specials appear. I finally deleted the app just now because I just wanted to play and I quit trying after 12 straight things popped up that I had to click through. TWELVE.
Don’t buy it
I have been have a bug on level 327 and it won’t start the game anymore. Just not worth it
Malware Redirect
BEWARE!! I’ve been playing for days and the ads were only mildly annoying, but I noticed recently that the app began to crash. Just minutes ago, as I went to tap to remove a bolt, I was redirected to a fake malware site! It was 1ato.com, and it said Your Phone is Hacked. Thankfully, I exited the site quickly, but still scary and could’ve went bad. I double checked my downloaded apps to ensure nothing was added without my knowledge. Hopefully this will be fixed. According to other reviews, the ads that are given are very inappropriate.
Ads Not Working Properly
Fun game, despite the insane amount of pop up ads. What’s annoying is when you watch an entire ad and it will not give you the reward. It just gets “stuck”. Forced closed, restarted and it keeps doing the same thing. Deleting game
Figure it out!
If you want to show inappropriate ads for kids; change the age demographic!
Questionable Ads
This game is available for ages 4 and up. There should be no reason why we’re getting ads about someone’s vagina feeling like sandpaper. It’s disgusting and inappropriate. How many other children have seen ads like this in games marketed to them???
Too many ads
Too many ads and no way to close them
bad error
There's a glitch in the game: it keeps showing a network error and failing to load once you pass Level 81. The issue persists even after switching accounts. I've contacted the developers, but the problem remains unresolved to this day.
Ads!!!
The ad for this game says no ads! LIES!!!!
You’re forced to watch ads, even if you pay
You can’t pass levels without watching ads. Even if you buy the “no more ads” pack, you’ll still have to watch ads every level in order to get a second life to complete the puzzle. Don’t even bother downloading.
TOO MANY ADS
Love the game. WAY too many ads. And ontop of that they are long ads.
Questionable puzzle
One of the puzzles (was actually in an a promo ad) was Jesus burning on the cross. I’m going to pass on this game.
BUG
充值了不少钱，结果 81 关怎么也进不去，就是显示无网络连接，但网络是好的，各种方式都试了，就是无法进入 81 关！
No Ads… hahaha
They advertised this game as “No Ads”, yet they have a pay option to remove pop up ads. Then, if you want to get anywhere in the game you have to either pay real money for another tray, which you lose the end of the round, or guess what? Watch a forever long ad. That’s right. It’s just a huge money sink so they can get rich. Don’t waste your time on this garbage scheme. It’s a shame, because it would have been a nice game if not for their greed.
Gets you but becomes impossible
By level 16, I could not get past it after playing repetitively. I used ads, bonuses, etc. It is randomized, so there is no guarantee that it is even solvable without bonuses. Scam
Waaaay to MANY ADS!
This game has way too many ads you play one game and you’re looking at a minimum of five ads at a minimum of 15 seconds each per game. The higher up you get in the levels the longer the ads are also the higher up you get in the game the more you have to click on a single ad 4 to 6 times each. This game is not worth the time invested.
Deceptive and forced Ads
This game was fun but it forces you to either make purchases or watch endless ads to complete levels. These type of games should be removed, don’t waste your time on this AD game
Overuse of ads
Flipping a coin each round to see if I need ads to finish it or not. This is so ridiculous and such a poorly made money hungry app, you buy no ads and it’s misleading, you keep getting ads. I should be able to finish a round without using coins OR ads just to finish the round. I thought it was a skill issue but after restarting the same level 5+ times and bumping into a wall where I have to use an ad yeah no thanks. A fun app if you love watching ads and wasting your time
РЕКЛАМА
Симулятор просмотра рекламы, без доп ящиков почти ни один уровень не пройти, специально сделано чтобы пришлось смотреть чтобы не проиграть, упражнениями на логику или тактику тут и не пахнет
Pushes you to watch ads/spend money
You can’t play this game without being forced to watch several 1-3 minute ads to complete a level. What happened to games being fun? And only having to buy them once?
Scam and Fraud
ZERO stars. Fun game, sure. But I was given an offer to remove pop up ads for $0.99. I was then charged $9.99 and still get the pop up ads. The developers only want your money.
Too many inappropriate ads
Ad was a game slaughtering polar bears, that gets your game 1*
Levels get very repetitive.
The first few levels of every patch are the same time and time again.
It does get boring after a while.

Not as advertised
The only reason I downloaded was I wanted to give it a chance. The ad I saw had the most beautiful fantasy imagery (likely due to AI) but if they can create that for an ad then why not for the game. Any suggestions where I can find a bolt game with the beautiful imagery
Too many ads
You expect us to watch a more ads than we play. It seems every week you find a way to make to ads more ridiculous. If i decide to start over you want me to watch an ad. Every time i match three you want me to watch an ad. Nobody should ever be expected to pay 8-10 dollars just for the ads to stop running. That shouldnt cost but two dollars. No more. This type should be free. To make it more aggrivating you give us a way to shorten ads but if i dont touch perfect right in the center of the x the ad keeps playing and its almost impossible to close it out. Those are shady tricks. Do better before i quit playing altogether
Fun game. Too many ads between games
I understand ads when you win. But minute long ads? Takes almost as long to watch the ad to get to the next game as it does to actually play the level. I was on level 35ish. I’m done. I can’t keep doing this.
forever
It was totally fun at the start, but I’ve been stuck on Level 80 forever! The game won’t even run a self-check, and there’s not a single update reminder popping up-so annoying!
Not as easy as they say.
I consider myself a very skilled senior in playing these games. This, to me, is a difficult game to win.
Terrible
You literally cannot beat a level without using a power up. I only beat 1 not using one. So annoying. I’m not trying to watch an ad all the time.
Fun games but too many ads
The game is fun but their are so many ads it kinda ruins it
