★★★★★ "Great game excessive ADS. This game is sooooo much fun but the ads make it horrible to play! I was addicted to the game like I was playing it any free time I had but the ads was just to much it would be in 3 parts and every add is about 2 minutes long! And it’ll jus…" - Letzyyy

More ad than game
Game forces you to watch ad after ad in order to play
Boooo
I paid $4.99 thinking it would be “add free”. Nope!!!!!
Garbage
Abysmal nothing like the ads not ideal detrimental
This is a scam.
Actually liked this game. You do watch a lot of ads but it was good for a couple months. Until I decided to buy the 4.99 no ads ....immediately apple informed me that i had been charged for 49.99. I put in a refund request with apple because this game gives no options for support . Do not download.

I hate everything that I say
Not Recommended
The only way to play this game is if you pay or watch hours of ads.
Ads, ads and more ads!
The ads are insufferable. It's bad enough you have to watch before and after each round, but you can't fast forward. You spend more time waiting than actually playing.
Frustrante
Está diseñado para que compres dentro de la app si no ganas es imposible
Add
I hate the ads bc I have internet.
Stuck on level 1
Seems like I cannot pass level one without having to watch an ad !
scam
impossible to win past a certain level without buying or watching 7 min ads.
Too many ads
Way too many ads
Downtown it just to watch ADs
Tremendous amount of advertisement. Please do not download.
Ads
Can’t do anything without watching a 2 min ad every other move
Not functional on iPad
The screen ratio is distorted on iPad - makes the game appear broken and not functional. Game is fun on phone, but shouldn’t be published for iPad without being functional 100%.
Goyslop
Just baiting you to spend money or watch ads goy slop
Money grab
They do not give you an adequate number of boxes to complete the level. You must waste 2 minutes per level watching a video to obtain a necessary box.
Whhyyy whyyy whyyy whyyy
THIS GAME IS TRASH 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 IT SUCKED DON’T PLAY don’t
Great concept, but greed destroyed it
Very cool concept game but developers greed destroyed it. Most games have ads and that’s understandable. But this game’s developers took it to another level. They make the levels practically impossible to win without watching a 2+ minute long ad to add another brief case. Instant UNINSTALL for this practice. I will find a similar game that doesn’t let greed get blind them.
Terrible game
The game wasn’t like in the ads, to many subscriptions and ADS ADS ADS so much ads
pay to win
games fun, but once you hit a certain point it’s impossible to get past. none of the screws even remotely correlate to my boxes
Fraud
I paid to not have ads but I still get ads
Not about skill
The game is largely unplayable unless you are willing to spend money or sit through inane ads. There isn’t skill involved.
Trash
Game makes you HAVE TO WATCH trash advertisements to advance past level 2. What a joke. Don’t waste your time with this crapass game. It’s cool but forcing you to watch videos just to advance to level %$#=*?} three???? Pathetic.
Not worth it
No skill will help you it’s just a money grab that’s built so lazily it’s obvious on the second level.
Broken money grab
Utterly unplayable. It was bad enough when the ads in this game to overcome the faulty game logic were a minute. Now many are over 120 seconds and many won’t even let you press the X at the end resulting in needing to start over.
Not playable
Most levels aren’t beatable with only the two boxes, it says you can watch ads to get another box but the Ad button doesn’t work, therefore you are required to pay to win. Very frustrating. I made it to level 11 but it took about 20’play hours
Impossible to pass levels
You have to watch ads to pass levels
Ads
How long you expect us to watch a effin ad for?
Add
Can’t get passed level two it’s literally impossible to play unless you watch an ad or buy coins
False advertising
Game isn’t like the ad
Don’t play this
Don’t download this game it’s literally impossible to win unless you watch ads for about 10 minutes or make purchases. Don’t waste your time getting this and supporting the clowns who made this!
Ads don’t work
Can’t advance to get power ups after watching videos. Scam game!
Impassable game
This game is designed in such a way that it's impossible to complete it without paying real money or spending a huge amount of time watching advertisements.
Ads would not close
I’ve only played this game for a short time.
I enjoy the games, the levels, and the challenges. Certain ads would not close and I would have to close my device to make them stop. Each time I be lost my level and had to start over. Not good.

Unplayable
This game is the definition of cut your nose off to spite your face. The creator of this game is incredibly greedy to the point it’s actually hurting him. What you do is actually allow people to play the game for awhile let them see what it feels like to not have adds and let them get addicted to the game then put adds in. The way they have it now is it’s insufferable right from the get go if you don’t have an extreme amount of patience you are going to delete this game.
Horrible
You can’t even progress without buying
Horrible
Don’t waste your time unlesss level 19 is impossible without paying for extra boxes or watching 100 ads
Don’t download
This game is the biggest crock I’ve ever seen. The analytics force you to watch 2 minute ads to proceed.
Biggest waste of time I’ve ever seen and I’ve tried multiple times to enjoy it.

Don’t waste your time
If I could give it negative stats I would you can’t complete a single level without spending money or watching an ad. I got stuck on the second level after an hour of just running out of options I had to come write a review. -5 stars please don’t ever make a game again
Too many ads
Ads are killing the game. Good game until you have to watch a long ad. Such a terrible thing
to many ads
to many ads
Fix Game
Game is good but how can u let your computer give me colors that I don’t have and it really isn’t random gives the same 2 colors always could be a great game but needs alot of work
Trash
Trash ah game. Like that’s all I can say. It’s friggin rigged.. you can’t pass the level without watching an ad. It’s weird too bc it has a Star of David on the “Mastercard”
Don’t waste your time
You can’t win without paying or watching the ads.
I watched the ads and the game got stuck.
The game is interesting but it’s poorly developed

Money grab
Impossible to pass level 2 without paying, waste of time
Don’t pay for no ads
I paid 4.99 for no ads and I’m still getting ads. There’s also nowhere in the app to write to customer service. I’d steer clear of making any in app purchases
Not what is advertised
I hate this dumb game and their marketing. Why promise a whole other type of game than what it actually is. I WANT TO PLAY WHAT WAS ADVERTISED!! ugh rude.
Don’t waste your time
If you’re looking for a “game” where you can only, maybe, pass levels by watching ads…this is it. Not fun being on one level for months! Developers responses are just as ridiculous.
