★★★★★ "COULD BE BETTER. This could be a really fun game if it didn’t get so hard so fast! I’m on level 70 & am completing out of coins & have very few power ups. I can see putting hard levels in every now and then, but not every other one. Even the “easy” levels, …" - Bumblfi

Lootbox games should be illegal
We live in a boring dystopia where everything sucks. Even these dumb soul sucking phone games.
Very bad game

Another game I got deleted once you get to a certain level you gotta spend money to pass the levels
PSA - You may get charged double! 💸
It is a great game, but think twice about in-app purchases. I got charged double on several occasions, and Apple denied a refund on the overcharge without providing any reason why.
June 26 update Sux
Annoying! There are now MULTIPLE screens (trying to get you to $$$) to exit out of before you can play each round. And no way to avoid the update, so be prepared. I’m deleting this one.
Worst game
I don’t know. I think this game is a little stupid because you have a play where you know you’re gonna win and when you do it, it doesn’t give it to you and it’s screws you and they’re trying to make everything harder and harder and harder for you where you have to buy stuff to win. It should’ve been a
No Mazes just matches
Doesn’t have any games it shows in advertising it’s just a recycled version of every other stupid matching game
Cheat!
The game cheats in order to make you buy stuff!! I am on level 1528 but cannot get past it because they only give me 16 moves when it SHOULD be 30! I’ve seen videos of other people playing the level on YT and everyone else starts with at lesser 30.. this level is IMPOSSIBLE to pass with only 16 moves! The only way I can pass is if I spend some more money and buy coins! RIDICULOUS
Match Villain update
States I need to update. Takes me to the store but nowhere does it give a place to update. How am I supposed to update? A very frustrated participant! 🤨😡
Not Fun Anymore
I loved this game. Uninstalled a few games because this game was much better BY FAR.
Updates are supposed to improve the game not change it into those money hungry games. Recently it’s been next to impossible to get proper rewards without spending money. Most of the team quests aren’t realistic. The rewards for completing tasks are so stingy now. Gone are the days where I spent hours playing. You’ve sucked the fun out of this game.
Developers you should probably go back to the drawing board because eventually you’re going to lose loyal players. Or maybe that doesn’t matter to you. Also change my rating from 2 to 1 star since no one responded to my inquiries in help chat. That has been another common complaint

No Longer Able to Play Due to iOS 16 Requirement
It’s really sad that I am no longer able to play my game on my iphone. To play the newest levels, it requires updating to iOS 16, which is not an available software update option for my iPhone. I think that it’s convenient that the game makers released this update requirement in the middle of me being on a hot streak in the middle of an active competition.
Rip Off
The fair play rules state that some levels are challenging but ALL levels can be passed without boosters or add-ons. This is false. Some levels take 4-6 hours to pass. Others are impassible. Don’t purchase anything!
Not as advertised
Nothing as advertised, don’t download
Fake adds
Rien a voir avec la vidéo que je viens de voir
Je l’ai installé car le concept m’a plu quand j ai commencé à jouer je trouve un simple jeux comme candy crush j’ai fini par la désinstaller après 5 minutes

Waste of time!
Needs work by developers!
Fun
Fun game with great potential, but it is 100% pay to be good. The game continues to get worse with every update.
Waste of time
This game is not what you expect. I was expecting to solve the puzzle to the guy on every level it never happened. I completed 40 levels before I decided to delete it. They pretty much took candy crush saga idea.
Cheaters
I hate this game
Ripe off
I have been playing this for a couple of years now, and spent lots of money on this game. But be warned, even if you finish an event, if you don’t claim the prizes that you paid for for the extra event, they’ll just disappear.. Before the event is even over with.
Lies
This is another dumb matching game and that’s it, you do not get to play any levels like they show in their endless adds, this is another money grab, if I could give this a negative number, i would
Crashes every time
App crashes every time I open it and start a level. App is unplayable now.
Catfish
Another game that tells you it’ll do one thing and then you never get to play that. What a loser.
Bad Review
This game can be fun at times. Majority of the levels are beyond challenging. You have to spend tons of money just to complete certain levels. After dealing with daily life, you want to play a game that is fun and enjoyable, not too hard to beat, and expensive. Overall I’ll give the game 1 star.
Not like the ad
False advertising. Nothing like the ad shows. Just a typical candy crush type game. Overdone. Boring. Not creative.

This is nothing like the ads. Just a boring matching game.
Advertising
Not what u advertised on the games
Is a bad game
El juego es diferente a la publicación es un candy crush !!! Muchos anuncios
MISLEADING
The As shows game play that simply isn’t real
Fool again!
This is yet another game with a misleading ad, promising to deliver a fun game where you clear the way to save someone from rocks, monsters, or drowning, but is actually just another match game. GRRR!
Fraudulent charges.
Thought the game was great until I received a charge for a pass I never purchased at a time when I not only didn’t have my phone, but it was shut off. Apple did refund me, but hella sketchy.
Fraude
Tienes que pagar 900 monedas por cada vez que pierdes es mucho dinero y mas si para conseguirlas es mucho trabajo y te dan pocas monedas
Teasers
Just know that the game that they show to get you to download is not the same as the game that you actually play they’re two different things the one teases you to get it and the other is nothing like it
Fraud. Check recent reviews always
Its basically candy crush and thats that. Not at all like the ads, complete fraud. The reviews are purchased, check recent reviews instead of most helpful and see
Pay wall
I really liked this game, but if you aren’t constantly using their paywall, you don’t get to keep trying to get to next level, they always give you a time limit to wait before you can keep playing. That’s so freaking annoying. If I don’t want to spend the money daily to get to the next level, don’t make me always pay to play; and have a “timer” waiting for me to keep playing. I’ve written support, lots and lots of times. I’ll have two tries left, and it takes me down to zero when I have one play left, that would’ve probably got me to the next level. It constantly takes away the number of plays you get in games. That’s happened to me on dozens of occasions. I count and there’s always one missing at the end when you could’ve finished that level. I’ve never received a response from Support about this issue.
COULD BE BETTER
This could be a really fun game if it didn’t get so hard so fast! I’m on level 70 & am completing out of coins & have very few power ups. I can see putting hard levels in every now and then, but not every other one. Even the “easy” levels, that first demonstrate what an item does, runs out of moves sometimes! I’m pretty good at match 3 games & candy crush is easier than this game! All they want is for you to spend money to get 5 extra balls or buy power ups. So I’ll delete & find a better one.
No Support
I gave this app two stars because of no help from the developers. I reached out to them via email, IG, and through the app. Never heard back at all. I will be deleting this game soon because if they aren’t going to answer users questions then I don’t need that app.
Fun but..
It’s a fun game but I’m over 1300 levels in and still haven’t seen the levels that are shown in the adds
Just Ok
It’s an average ok game. Nothing too impressive as far as game play and graphics. Haven’t seen any levels like some of the commercials you see for it.
Mathematic certainty of rigging
Based on my gameplay experience (level 3032 as of writing), I have run the actual math. There is about a 97% certainty that the game is rigged. It’s a fine game other than that.
Used to be fun
When I started playing I was impressed that the power-ups in the levels seemed fair (like when you combined a bomb and a snitch it would break the blocks in the players favor) but now it almost ALWAYS destroys a thunderball you are saving until you can line up something to combine it with.
The levels and mini-games have been made much harder than they used to be sucking a lot of enjoyment out of the game. Too many levels now with only 16-20 moves that you have to play for days. I used to have a decent chance of finishing all 3 levels of the train mini-game. Now I rarely can get through the first level before the event is over.
I’ve been considering deleting this for a couple of months now but was waiting to see if they switched it back to when it was fun. So far they haven’t so I will delete it soon and play other games that are more fun.

Never real
If there were a game where I could play what these match games actually advertise, the matches save the character, I’d give them so much money. They’re always just boring match games though. False advertising.
Match Villains game
None of the original games in the advertised play are available!!!!
