too difficult even when making purchases

Data theft
They fours you to agree to take all your data and sell it to 3ed parties on Turkey and other countries (possibly even Israel)
Avoid Game: Pay to play trap
Between levels 80-120 you’ll top out. Gradual leveling up suddenly jumps. Times levels take many tries. Life counter runs out quickly. Not worth it.
Impossible in 20 levels
Clearly they are pressuring for money. Very quickly the levels become very difficult. You have to play those levels over and over and over again to learn one move at a time before time runs out. Time cost is massive 900 coins while you earn 20 coins for completing levels. Really sadistic if you ask me!!!
Deleting - the “Update” actually installs a new app
Twice I have received urgent notices from this app that prevent me from continuing the game only to find out that an entirely different app was installed. This is an illegal bait and switch. Enjoyed the game but now deleting.
No morals- DO NOT PLAY
I liked the game ok … however you allow X rated AI ads for disgusting games to pop up. Actual fake porn. What if I had let my kid play this game. You are disgusting and deserve to be banned
Incredibly rigged
You can get through a lot of the first levels just fine but around the 60th level the timer gets so short you barley have time to clear all the blocks. The only way to get through the level is to spend money getting the power ups which is just ridiculous. Buy any other puzzle game this is not worth your time. I don’t know how the developers sleep at night
Game Advertisement
Game was advertised on Facebook as a no advertising and no pay to play, that’s determined to be a lie
To costly
Cost to much money
Lie about no ads.
From not on, every time you download a game claiming to have no ads, and they do, leave poor feedback. Maybe some of them will get the hint!
Stop using Ai 🤮
The game is fun, sure, but the use of Ai images makes it impossible to enjoy.
Another pay to play…
Gives you a sense of accomplishment for several levels, then presents extremely difficult levels that are unlikely to be beaten without buying coins to buy the tools needed to beat the levels. Don’t waste your time.
Artificial intelligence Usage
Customers do not want AI.
Timer ruins it
Game is fun until you get to more difficult levels and the timer is way too short. You burn through lives and are stuck buying more time with coins or (ironically) waiting on a timer for more lives. Other/better options with no timer, just puzzle solving.
Don’t get this game!
Used to be a really fun game. Now they changed it such that the timers are so fast you can’t win a level without using a power-up. Money play to me because you have to spend to advance. It’s also a lot of repeating levels. Giving up on this one.
What am I supposed to do?
Stuck on Level 71. I get rid of all the red, blue and purple blocks only to be stuck with yellow and can’t move any further…..
Block Out!
I hate this game.
Ads and short timers
If you love ads and timers that are way too short then this is the game for you!
Was Fun, Update Ruined It
This game was fun, but a recent change made it so there is nowhere near enough time to complete puzzles. Now you have to use power ups, which means you have to pay $.
Privacy fail
Absolutely 0 way to remove all your data. Deleting the app and redownloading keeps your progress
Horrible Pay to play model
Horrible pay to play model. Let me play the freaking game. At least offer a paid version where I don’t have to keep paying to try again.
wrong advertising
i really hate when adds have a completely different concept when it comes to the actual game it’s weird and just causes people to delete it which i just did
Time limits too short to be fun
Too many new kinds of blocks introduced too quickly. Could be much more fun.
Ugh so close but so far
Loved this game at first because it doesn’t have a ton of ads. I loved how relaxing it was and satisfying. But it has to have a stupid timer which ruins the whole game for me. Makes it stressful instead of being able to just relax and have fun with it, and do a brain teaser. The worst and now the HATE this game and going to delete it
Nope…
I’d like it if it wasn’t timed. Oh well…
Timed mess
It’s timed -too much
Such a shame
Do away with the timer and you might get me back. Otherwise I'm not wasting my time and energy.
new additions
the game was initially fun! i did enjoy playing it but i HATE it when games add different mechanics when you advance. the game was fun until it added the mechanic where it will add a block through the “elevator” soooo annoying. why do games add mechanics that were nothing like the first couple of levels. you guys don’t need to add mechanics like that to games that are already a puzzle. had to uninstall the game because it was getting so annoying.
Another scam game
It was fun, for about 15 minutes. Then the ads started. Play a 30 second game- watch a 60 second ad… then the levels are designed to force you to buy coins for extra time. Just another money-grab game. Deleted.
Fun, pricey and glitches
There are levels that you definitely need to have extras to make it through. I have had the game close on me, end the level and I had spent coins and bonuses. Some earned and some purchased. I have reached out to customer support a couple of times and they don’t respond.
Misleading
The game itself is fun but was advertised as ad-free. You're enjoying the game, having so much fun & then get to Level 50 and all of a sudden it's an advertisement after completing every level. Not so fun.
No
No
Pay to play
Good fun for 43 levels and they at 44 you need to spend money of you want to keep playing. Total bait and switch…. Typical
Lied about timer
Game has a timer, even though it was specifically advertised as not having one.
No adds then bombarded!!
Really enjoyed playing for the first few hours, then the adds that you can’t close came up. Then they also started wanting me to buy coins. Not worth it.
This game…
Could be fun but I don’t want the stress of a timer. Not to mention the timer is set for no ROOM for error. It’s like it expects you to immediately know where to shift everything without a single error. Too bad, Could’ve enjoyed this game but time to delete.
Like it, but.
I like the game but I’m just a person who doesn’t like a timed game. I play to relax and there’s no relaxing when I have to rush. I’m deleting it.
Omg I love this game!🩷
Hi, this is Caroline and I’m just saying that I love this new Block Out! game and it’s so fun and a little challenging for my brain

Fun at first
Started out fun and manageable to get thru the puzzles. After several levels, it becomes nearly impossible to get thru the puzzles without using coins or paying money for advancements.
Fun but takes money
This game is super fun and addictive but there are times that you cannot pass without spending actual money. Which I’ve never ever done until I got this game.
The timer should be optional or there should be a side quest you can do to earn more rockets, space ships, lives and clocks.
Otherwise we just click off the game. I’m very close to deleting it because I don’t want to spend anymore money but I’m holding out in hopes that you guys actually read these reviews and will add some other features.
Maybe a “free mode” option to just play with no timer. Or like a said a side game that allows us other ways to get extra rockets, space ships, clocks, and lives.

Timers
I think 1 min timers is extreme.
Too difficult to be any fun
Didn’t take long for hit the paywall
Timed
I hate the timer. Probably why I rarely play this game.
Level glitch
There have been many levels where the colors you have left in a box isn't corresponding with the doors that are available. Like example level 71 I only have yellow blocks left and the doors are colored red blue and green what am I supposed to move if the yellow door hasn't opened yet??
Sadly a lot of levels glitch like this and it's making the game more frustrating than fun.

Turn off timer
Just started playing and love it… except that I’m being timed! That ruins all the fun for me & immediately makes me anxious. Won’t be playing until that gets changed.
