Support no help
Asked for help few times. Level 119 has many glitches and you can’t get past it. Stuck in it for days. Suppose to be free game. Shouldn’t have to pay to remove ads or pay for extras. So won’t.
No help from support either. Just general advice that makes no sense! It’s an auto response.

Complete chance
Never ending chance game that gives you what you don’t want to wait on more lives or pay to win.
Ads blocked moving forward
I’m used to games that periodically show an ad. This time, though, the ad won’t go away. It’s been 10 minutes and the ad has no way of closing it or getting back to the game. I’m sure if I force quit the game, I’ll lose my progress. What’s the point if the game locks up before you get to the end?
Ads
Game seams designed to force you to watch ad after ad after ad
Blasting ADS. Ads don’t start muted, full blast from the get go.,
Ads don’t start muted, no way to mute.
What is it, Clockwork Orange.., suddenly I have to jump trying to shut it up.. why force feed the ads, I come to hate developers, advertisers and whatever is advertised.

WAYYYYY TOO MANY ADS
Let me play the game stop spamming with 4-5 ads a LEVEL
Ads, ads, and more ads.
Look, I get that these types of games need as revenue to help pay for development.
But the frequency of the ads is insane, and takes away from any enjoyment of the game. Sometimes it’s every 30 seconds, sometimes it’s every single move.
Had to delete it after playing for a couple hours.

Great game, too many ads
At first the game is not that bad on ads, but than after completing a couple levels it start playing an ad once every 3 moves. Really annoying
Frustrating game
Have been playing this game on and off and finally reach level 40. At some point halfway through this level I’ll deal for more coins and the coin stacks I get always go to locations that make it impossible to move, I’ve had this issue the last few levels and I am tired of having to always watch an ad to get a little special move to fix the problem the game keeps making for me. If I could give this app less than one star I would.
Tried to make you spend money
This game isn’t chess, it’s quite the opposite. Should be simple and fun, and I must say for the first 45 levels it is, but once you get to level 45 they won’t let you pass the level unless you spend money. I refuse to spend money on any game, and the “randomize sorts” are just so unfair at that level that you literally can’t win unless you spend money. I like the challenge of a game that’s why I can’t spend money on a game. I’ll just consider it cheating at that point. I would give y’all 5 stars, but this money grab y’all are trying to do is just ridiculous!
Suckered into to buying
Paid to remove ads, but once you get to higher levels you can’t get thru to the next level without either buying cheats or watching a tons of ads to get cheats. Short lived excitement.
Broken level
This game is blatantly pay-to-win and level 119 proves it.
I have been stuck on this level for over 3 days and have burned through 30+ lives trying to beat it. Every single attempt ends the same way. I get to 99%, then the game soft locks because there are 13 coins left but only 12 slots. That is not a challenge, that is literally impossible by design.
At that point, the game conveniently offers two options: spend 250 diamonds to rent a slot or 600 to buy one. Meanwhile, you only earn around 20-30 diamonds a day. It is very obvious what this is. The game is trying to force you to spend real money.
Boosters are basically nonexistent. I am already on level 119 and still only have one of each, so they are not a real solution when the level locks you out.
I even contacted support and got a generic copy-paste response telling me to restart my device, check my internet, and wait for a future update. None of that has anything to do with the actual issue.
Also, something is clearly broken. Coin 37 seems like it is supposed to disappear, but it never does. I have hit 99% over 20 times and the level becomes unwinnable every single time.
This is not fun or challenging. It is a rigged level designed to push players into spending money. Until this is fixed, this game does not deserve anything higher than 1 star.

Ad scheme
At some point it gets too hard and relies on ads to get you through. Not for me.
Reviews
Forces you to frequent ads, takes the fun out of the game
I
Ads very annoying 🤢😭
Intentionally set up
I really enjoyed this game but after you make it to 10 an additional slot should automatically open. It doesn’t, forcing you to use your free resources (if you haven’t already), spend money, or watch extra ads on top of the ads they make you watch during “ad break” or after you successfully open a new slot. Do better
pay to continue
game is covered in ads and plays ads every 4 minutes.
Ripoff
This game tries to force you into making micro transactions in order to keep playing. Either that or sit through a bunch of annoying 45-second ad videos every 5 minutes.

To much ads I will delete it
The game was way better in the add
I was playing the add then decided to download the app and it was so bad so offense
I love the game but ads are inappropriate…
The game is great and can be hard at times but the AI ads are straight disgusting with nudity of women in one with only emojis covering it. Sure there are a lot of normal ads but this one specifically was insanely inappropriate and disgusting…..
Scam
The amount of ads is insane, I paid the $7 to stop the ads and there are still freaking ads! The game is fun but the constant ads are not worth it
Boring
Not stimulating enough for my brain
Too many ads and ads interruptions
I started out liking this game, but then this game started putting out too many ads and long ads. There have been time for when I only do five or six moves and another ad would show up. When you exit out of the ad it keep bringing up the three or four more before it exit out completely
It is frustrating to play when all your ads keep popping up Level you were on. Either cut 90% of your ads or don’t have ads at all. Then maybe I will reinstall this game but no, I cannot continually play. Ruin my momentum with an ad pop-up.

Boring
Dude, the game wasted your time and it takes so long just to beat the level but like it takes me three days almost just to be at the level. God’s crazy and I can’t even get past level 10 almost. So yeah it’s not even that fun as you think so just don’t get the game at all. It is not the best game ever best game is Roblox
Fun game BUT
The game CONSTANTLY forces you to use power boosters, lives, or credits just to advance. I’ve been stuck on 147 for so long. No matter how many times I have a perfect set, it comes to a point, every time I deal, it gives me nothing. Then nothing again. Then nothing until I have to spend to clear the board or start over. Really annoying and a glaring attempt to force you to spend money. Looking for a similar game that doesn’t do this now.

Game relays too much on adds. I get everyone needs to make money but adds at the bottom all the time,3 rounds on average then adds and level blocks that require adds to watch to get through is just being greedy. I will avoid this developer at all cost now!
I miss the old music and SFX
I love this game. It’s very fun and relaxing. I never write reviews, but this game genuinely helps me to relax! However, after the update they changed the music. I miss the old music or wish there was an in game way to choose which one you preferred. Also the old sound effects of merging etc were so much more satisfying. The new ones I find annoying. I don’t know if I can use this game to relax anymore 😢
I wish they’d at least let us choose the sounds we want..

Ads ads and more ads
I get ads every 5ish minutes. If I am lucky maybe 10. ANNOYING.
Slow me down! Don’t like it
Too many breaks I do not want breaks time!!! I don’t like it slow me down!!! Also ads banner is really slow me down it’s harder for me to enjoy my game please remove that banner ads!
Ads… inside of ads.
Seriously. Ads will open when an ad is already playing. It’s a fun game but be prepared to be inundated by ads.
Not worth your time
Poor and confusing rules
STOP with all the GAMBLING ADS! Enough!!!
Provide the option to limit certain categories of ad types! Enough is enough, and unlike other game apps showing ads, your app NEGLECTS to provide the option to rate or provide feedback about each of the ads.
Multiple ads IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LEVEL!!
I understand you need to have ads to make money, but multiple ads during the middle of a level is ridiculous.
Ads Ads Ads
The pop up ad banner from the bottom makes it impossible to play the game….
If you need to take an ad break it’s totally fine- I get that is where you pull your revenue….
but pulling the banner up and blocking moves every 10 seconds is absolutely ridiculous- literally impossible to play the game comprehensively

Bugged adds?
Every time the game trigger a forced ad the position of my coins change, sometimes even fill up all the spaces with random coins and I end up with no moves at all. I don’t know if they do it intentionally to make us pay to remove the Ads or if it’s just a glitch, but it’s really hard to win a level with this issue going on every time.
Ads
I don’t play games that throw ads in the middle of play. Goodbye!
Too Many Ads!!!
You are constantly dropped into an ad. After 10 levels, halfway through EVERY level, there’s an ad! I’m not paying to get rid of the ads either, because that never works! Deleting the app, tired of being inundated with ads for games that are nothing like the ad.
Annoying ads
I beat levels so quick that I spend more time watching ads than playing because of the ad breaks
Ads Ads Ads! Don’t watch, it’s rigged.
So. Many. Ads. And if you try to skip it, they’ll rig your game against you so you’re forced to watch an ad. It’s a great game, but the greedy folk behind it won’t let you enjoy it unless you pay money. I recommend Match Collector or Eatventure.
Another issue
I’m suck at level 119. Seems that others are too. It doesn’t matter how much you sort, but you’ll never level up, which also means you cannot save. You end up in the same loop of trying to progress but get not where. Getting a little tired of this game. First it had a glitch that made you quit the game because it said no more moves. Now, it’s this. 🙄 you’ve totally earned the 1 star on this one.
Pay to Play
Eventually you’ll get to a point where you can’t even forgo a life to start over because the game has “save” progress so you’re stuck. I imagine if you spent money to open up coin slots that would be the solution but, why have lives then? Just call it what it is. Predatory. The game is trash. Don’t waste your time.
Rip off as usual
I played for 5 minutes before they blocked me forcing me to buy “help” if I wanted to continue. Deleted.
Somewhat enjoyable
It’s okay. Tbh I enjoyed the version I played in an ad during another game more. Quickly gets tedious, way too many ads and overall just not fun for an extended period of time. I will give it another try tomorrow, if it doesn’t get a lot better it gets uninstalled.
Don’t pay to remove ads
I pay to remove ads so i can enjoy playing a game. This game makes it so you can’t proceed unless you pay more or watch non-stop ads to get levelups. Forget it.
Forces you to get stuck
When this game doesn’t pin you in a corner it is a great game. But when I press deal and it gives me one of each number when I only have the exact amount of spaces open, it is super frustrating as there is nothing I can do. I’m not spending real money to open another slot and I’m not waiting a week to get enough diamonds to unlock shuffle. I can’t make any moves. So for that I can’t play this game until they fix that as I can’t get past the level anymore as I am stuck in this infinite loop.
$$$
This game is fun….at first. The options to move the coins and advance. I have found that once you reach a specific level the odds are stacked against you. You have to pay to advance. I have two phones one for work and personal. Tested on both. Same level, same issues, have to pay $$ to advance. Unless you have money to burn on a game that’s meant to be fun and challenging while
Killing time, I wouldn’t waste your time. The diamond rewards are sparse at best. Again, prompting you to spend your money to play a simple game.

Fun game but…
The game is fun and definitely a time killer. My biggest issue is that everything is ad based even after buying the No Ads. Can’t clear a level, be prepared to watch at least 3 ads. Want an extra slot, watch more ads. Beware the ads!!
