  • monetization
    107 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive and intrusive ads that play after nearly every level, often lasting over a minute and sometimes leading to app store redirects. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for hints or coins, the recent updates have made ads mandatory, diminishing the overall enjoyment and prompting many to consider uninstalling the game. Overall, the shift towards aggressive monetization has overshadowed the game's initial appeal, leading to a negative reception among long-time fans.

    • “There are no ads unless you want a clue or more coins, so that's a relief.”
    • “Still no ads unless you choose to watch them.”
    • “The ads after a game are ridiculous and act like a virus or some other foreign hostile takeover of your phone.”
    • “You can't get rid of ads without paying weekly; before, you could choose whether or not you wanted to watch an ad for another puzzle or a few extra coins.”
    • “I was excited about not having to use coins to unlock packs anymore, but an ad after every puzzle, and the cost to remove ads being extortionate, has obliterated my desire to continue playing this game.”
  • stability
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game is a significant concern among users, with many reporting frequent freezing and glitches that disrupt gameplay. While some players enjoy the game despite these issues, others have noted that recent updates have exacerbated the problems, leading to longer load times and a less enjoyable experience overall.

    • “The game runs smoothly without any crashes.”
    • “I appreciate how stable the gameplay is; it never lags or freezes.”
    • “I love this game, but rarely play it anymore due to the many glitches that detract from the game experience.”
    • “Takes forever to load, especially the ads, and often freezes (and no, it's not my device - I don't have this problem with other game apps).”
    • “After this last update on 6/3/18, the game became more buggy.”
  • graphics

    • “Nice and addictive gameplay.”
    • “Design, gameplay, and variety are fantastic elements.”

    • “Overall gameplay.”
    • “Really enjoyable puzzle game, but sometimes it's hard to get the pieces to move where you want them to, which negatively affects the gameplay.”

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game frustrating due to the insertion of lengthy ads (over 30 seconds) after each puzzle, which disrupts the flow and makes the experience feel tedious.

    • “The 'huge upgrade' is laughable; it inserts a tedious, lengthy (30+ sec) ad after each puzzle.”
    • “Grinding feels more like a chore than a fun challenge, making the game less enjoyable.”
    • “The repetitive nature of grinding makes it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
