Disappointing
Unfortunately flooded with pop-ups asking you to buy things and ads at every turn.
I grew up with this game and it makes me sad to see what happened to it.

Ruined
This game used to be a really enjoyable physics based puzzle game. Unfortunately it became so successful the developers monetized the hell out of it by adding a bloated mess of “content” distracting you from the actual puzzle game. Not worth the $10 they ask for removing ads that constantly play
★★★★ Jake_1978 5/7/2026 v3.79.0
Used to be good. No longer.
Ads and messages after every level have completely ruined the experience. You can’t exit out of ads even after the time limit expires. I hate how corporate greed has ruined a pleasant game. If I could give this a negative rating I would.
★★★★ pooinfartin 5/1/2026 v3.79.0
Too many ads
Ruined a good game with constant forced ads
★★★★ Mito mom 4/29/2026 v3.79.0
Ruined it with ads
This used to be a fun game, now there is an ad every minute that you can’t click out of.
★★★★ AndreComedi 4/23/2026 v3.79.0
Ads are broken
You can’t skip the ads so you have to fully close out of the game and then open it back up. Please fix
★★★★ Wadataco98 4/19/2026 v3.79.0
No ads purchase is a scam!!!
I paid the 10$ to stop the ads every couple of turns but still the ads didn’t stop. I will be requesting a refund
★★★★ Chris Greenwell 4/17/2026 v3.79.0
Boooooooo
Years ago I played this game and I rediscovered it while browsing some games for while on a flight. I was disgusting to find out that this game is now riddled with ads, really trying to get you to pay. It’s literally every single level and some of them make you sit for a whole minute. It’s just sad and pathetic. This game used to be fun but greed ruined it, as most things these days. I’d be fine with little banner ads or something but this is just pathetic.
★★★★ I Gaga H 4/15/2026 v3.79.0
Swamped buy Ads
Ads pop up every two games, and it is really difficult to turn them off. So annoying. I understand the company needs to make a profit, and I am willing to pay to remove ads, but $9.99 per month?
★★★★ cmoney sr. 3/28/2026 v3.79.0
The ruined it
Not what it used to be. Annoying hints and micro transactions
★★★★ Grumblygamer 3/26/2026 v3.79.0
Too many ads
I recently downloaded this game wanting a bit of nostalgia from the early iPhone days. Always loved it then. Now it’s just ad after ad after ad. I play several games that use ads and it’s no issue but not like this. For an app that’s supposed to be a quick time killer it completely defeats the purpose when I’m just watching ads. Disappointing and greedy and I’m sick of it. Can’t do anything without being faced with ads. Deleted and won’t be redownloading.

Too many ads.
There’s too many ads. When I installed the app, I bought the thing to avoid ads. But even when I’m playing the game there’s non skippable ad pop ups that appear when you’re pushed into joining the little races or pushed on to certain areas of the games. I’m fed up with it.
