Way too many ads

Awful game only designed to milk money/endless ads
I almost never leave reviews….. This game has the slimiest greediest game developers ever, and I will never be supporting them or their games again. They do not care about their players at all and it shows.
Tried to give this game a genuine chance as I love puzzle games, but pretty early on you get horribly stuck where you have to use items a lot to even sort of play the game, and you have to use real money or watch ads for small amounts of coins for those items. I just finished watching (not exaggerating) 20 ads to be able to use a few items to clear out a couple of cakes. The game then immediately forced another ad break on me. Infuriating and unplayable without spending real money or wasting your time lining their pockets through ads.

Too many adds
It forces you to watch ads even if you don’t claim the bonuses
Had advertisement about sex with “step daddy”
Yuck. This add was for some kind of erotica app and had a cartoon picture of an old guy in a pool with a young girl with her legs around his shoulders, obviously a sexual position, and said “relax, you’re too tight”. It was titled Backseat with my step daddy. WTF. Not okay for a kids app.
Random wheel NOT random at all
Wheel is only one eighth “60 coins” yet lands on it nearly 100% of the time. Math ain’t mathin’
Too many ads
Waaayyyyy too many ads. Finish an ad, play a few seconds, another ad.
Half of game time is ads
Ads are too frequent. You have to watch one every time you open the game, level up, or unlock a new feature. And then there’s random “ad breaks” scattered throughout too. There’s also optional ads if you want to double your rewards, but it doesn’t feel optional when you get hit by an ad break after anyway.
Too many ads
Insane bombardment of ads. You can barely play the game
Ridiculous Amount of Ads
You’ll spend more time watching ads than playing the game. There’s an add every 60 seconds or every 5 moves. That’s not an exaggeration. Not worth it.
Not worth the ads
CRAZY amount of ads. Literally never seen a game with so many
Ads
At first the game gives you some ads every now and then but i am literally getting an ad every 5 plates i place dnr
As
Too many ads
Очень много бесполезной рекламы
Реклама включается постоянно, буквально через минуту после начала игры. Плюс все время предлагает сыграть в какие-то другие игры.
Ads ads ads
Ads to the point it’s unplayable.
Random change made it unplayable
I paid for ad removal and was playing for months. But now every time you complete a cake on the board the game stops to make you click through claiming a reward. Literally every single cake. Completely unplayable now.
one LONG AD with a little gaming
if you enjoy watching ads and apps begging for your money with a tiny bit of cake sorting in between, this is the game for you!
Too Many Ads!!
There are far too many ads - the game is unplayable
Too many ads.
Deleted after a day
Excesive ads even if you purchase the game
All the dynamics try to force you to pay tickets and coins, the tools cost more and more making insostenible. I payed for remove the banner ads but the mechanics are just broken. I’m removing it.
Excessive ads
I agree with others that this is a well done game but the ads are excessive. You cannot even play the game without and add interrupting within just place a few trays.
Adware
Ads between every game, constant badgering with pop ups to watch ads or make purchases. No game is fun enough for how many ads they put in this game.
Ad everytime you close the app
I get putting ads throughout the game, that's how they make money. To make an ad appear everytime you close and reopen the app is annoying and has made me delete it. Sucks because it's a good game.
Way too many ads.
The forced ad breaks are overkill. And if you downsize the app then go back to it, you get more ads! Ridiculous! Also, the controls suck. You don’t place the cake directly on a tile. You have to be a few paces down it or else you’ll overshoot and place the cake one tile up.
Needs updating
I’m giving the app one star because the ads are outrageous and the app is stuck on Christmas themes. You make three or four moves and then it makes you watch an ad to keep playing. They have this advertised as having events for the different holidays but it’s been on Christmas since I downloaded the game in January. It’s kind of annoying. Don’t get me wrong I like Christmas as much as the next person, but having an app stuck on Christmas is just kinda annoying.
The ads that won’t close
One star because the ads that won’t close when you minimize the app are extremely annoying and take my tickets on the Christmas level. Stop with these terrible ads that won’t close out!!
Ripe with ads
Whose bright idea was it to force an ad on you every time you exit and reup the app? Not to mention the frequent pop up ads you get throughout the game.
Its way overkill when I’m just trying to play the game, if it wasn’t for the fact I’m only on here to earn money from another app i would have deleted it ages ago.

Ad, ads and more ads
I love this game. However, it seems the longer you play without purchasing an ad removal package the more frequently ads appear.
Too many ads
Ads in the middle of game play “aD BReAk! 🤪🤗” no. I don’t need a commercial when I’m in the middle of placing a piece. And then when I switch to anything else.
Can’t skip ads
Why is there no button to skip or continue when an ad plays? I have to close the app and open it again to get past the ad. Fun game but basically unplayable -_-
Ads non stop or pay
The way it starts off is fine. Play a few levels and watch an ad. After a few levels however you basically get one move per ad and the game starts glitching so that the matches you put together don’t even disappear and then they add new cakes that don’t fit so that you have to either watch several ads to make one move EVERY TIME or you can buy power ups. The point of the game is to force you to have to watch ads or pay. Period.
Extremely ad heavy
Want to play? Perfect, here’s an ad. Now that you’re playing, here’s an ad every few moves. Oh hey, you’ve leveled up, here’s an ad. Hey, you unlocked something, here’s an ad. Want to collect the reward we just gave you? Watch an ad first. It’s truly a fun game, but they have so many ads that ruin the experience. I’m fine with ads before or after a stage or level. I’m fine with ads to get extra rewards. But I’m not fine being forced to either pay money to not get ads or just get shoved ads down your throat to make you pay.
Add are awful
The amount of ads makes the game unplayable.
Too many ads
User interface is overwhelming. Too many ads.
Fun puzzle game but too many adds
Too many adds
Nothing but AD’s
You need to watch at least 20-second ads for each minute of gameplay. In the app, I could leave a review but couldn't submit a negative one. I have seen this tactic in other apps too, but you can always go to the app store to submit your review.
Too many ads!
This was my favorite game, I didn’t mind some , but now I spend more time watching ads than playing, kills the chill!
Ads with breaks for a game
The game itself is nice… if only you could actually play it. The amount of ads on this app is actually obscene.
TOO MANY ADS!
literally every minute theres an ad. impossible to play the game without getting frustrated how many pop up ads there are. do better.
too many ads
such a fun game but you get slammed with ads. all i wanna do is play but i have four ads to watch. its like 50/50 ads to playing the game
Ads ads ads ads ads
I paid to get rid of ads, but even so, there are I guess “voluntary” ads for everrrryyyyything and I end up getting forced to watch ads constantly because I accidentally click continue or things like that. It’s crazy and wastes so much time and is just sooo excessive on the ads front!
Ads unbearable
Very fun game but the ads are unbearable. Like interrupts the game unbearable. Doesn’t feel safe to own.
Unsatisfied Customer
The gam is fun but I paid $4.99 to remove the ads and it t still hasn’t removed my he adds. It makes me want to just erase the game.
Too many ads
Too many ads
Ads galore
Can’t get through a level without an ad interrupting you.
too many ads
wayyyy too many ads, it makes the game basically unplayable
Way too many ads
While this game is fun…the amount of ads is ridiculous.. every few moves there’s an ad so it’s not all that relaxing..it’s unfortunate that I’ll have to delete as it’s not worth my time.
TERRIBLE
Loved the game. Very engaging until it keeps advertising the same game and not letting one bypass it to play this game. The game also cheats!
Too many ads/pop-ups
You can’t do more than three moves without it a popup. Just let me play!
SO many ads you can’t play the game!
I like the basics of this game and it could be both relaxing and fun, but an ad comes up about once every 2-3 moves (no exaggeration). The ads are also really long and super repetitive, so you are watching the same ads more than double the amount of game play and there are at least two ads every time. Because the ads are so frequent you can’t really get into it. Companies that make games like this (or really just platforms to show ads) are the worst. Sadly, I am going to deleted this app.
Too many ads
The game is fun! Plays well and the graphics are great. When you are able to play it, it keeps your attention for hours. The ads, however, make the game nearly unplayable. Way too many. All over the homepage and forced to take an ad break very frequently. I am close to deleting the app due to the excessive ads alone.
