  • monetization953 mentions

    The monetization strategy of this game has been widely criticized for its excessive and intrusive ad placements, with many players reporting that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing. Users express frustration over unskippable 30-second ads appearing after nearly every level, often leading to a feeling of being bombarded by advertisements. While some acknowledge the necessity of ads in free-to-play games, the overwhelming frequency and length of these ads have led many to label the game as a "cash grab," detracting significantly from the overall enjoyment and gameplay experience.

    • “I like the fact that in-app purchases are not needed, yet even without them you can have full game-play enjoyment.”
    • “No ads option is available for a cost.”
    • “Wish there was a $0.99 version with no ads.”
    • “The game is a good idea, unfortunately, it's basically designed to put a bunch of ads in your face.. the game is ridiculously easy and never increases in complexity.”
    • “You spend more time watching ads than you do playing the game.”
    • “This game is only fun if your idea of fun is ridiculously easy to the point where you have to try to lose in order to, and half of it is ads, and there are ads every 3 levels, which doesn't sound like much but one level you can do in 5 seconds and 3 of those 5 are the animations.”

  • graphics20 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising them as "amazing" and "cool," while others find them "boring" and "forgettable." Many users appreciate the smooth visuals and easy-on-the-eyes aesthetics, but the overall sentiment suggests that the graphics do not compensate for the game's lack of challenge and the annoyance of frequent ads. Overall, while the graphics are generally considered decent, they are often overshadowed by gameplay issues and ad interruptions.

    • “The graphics are awesome, the gameplay is great, the controls are fantastic.”
    • “The sound effects and graphics are great!”
    • “I like the aesthetics, but far too many ads.”
    • “The solid white levels populated by solid-colored blocks provide a forgettable, same-y aesthetic that leaves no striking image in the player's mind.”
    • “Graphics are boring.”
    • “Decent concept for a game but the visuals feel annoying; the player has an advantage over the opponent as the player blocks have precedents over spreading.”
  • stability11 mentions

    The stability of the game is severely criticized, with users reporting frequent freezes, particularly during ad transitions and when launching the app. Many players experience crashes that prevent them from progressing or even starting the game, leading to a frustrating overall experience. Overall, the game's stability issues significantly detract from its playability.

    • “It doesn't even get to the start screen before glitches prevent you from playing, and ads are shoved down your throat.”
    • “I've just downloaded this game and it just won't start; it freezes on the home screen and doesn't let me play.”
  • music10 mentions

    The music aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users reporting issues of malware that plays music in the background without notification, causing frustration and concern. Additionally, many players expressed a desire for actual music to enhance the gameplay experience, criticizing the game for its lack of engaging audio and the disruptive nature of ads that interfere with any music they attempt to play. Overall, the absence of quality music and the presence of problematic audio issues have significantly detracted from the game's appeal.

    • “This app contains malware that plays music in the background, doesn't appear in notifications as playing music. Music would start, stop, and skip tracks randomly. The app isn't running while music is playing, and force stopping the app stops the music. Do not download this app; the virus that was playing music on my phone seems to have been uninstalled when I uninstalled the app, but I have no idea if there was any other malicious software embedded in the app.”
    • “I will do my best impression of this game: 'Oh look at me, we have boring puzzles with no music, and we have a crappy city builder, so that makes us good!' This game is one of the million mobile games that deserves to be taken off the Play Store!”
    • “Way too many ads, many that disable your music and won't let you skip.”
  • humor5 mentions

    The humor in the game is described as both entertaining and absurd, with players finding it hilariously easy and often laughing while playing with friends. However, the excessive ads detract from the experience, leading to mixed feelings about the overall enjoyment.

    • “It's a super funny app.”
  • optimization4 mentions

    The game suffers from significant optimization issues, with players reporting low frame rates (around 5 fps), frequent lag spikes, and excessive battery drain. While the gameplay is enjoyable, the lack of proper optimization detracts from the overall experience, indicating a need for substantial performance improvements.

    • “The game is genuinely fun, but the performance is way too bad.”
    • “It's clear that whoever created this game never optimized it in the game development process, as I played for 10 minutes with around 5 fps and huge lag spikes.”

    • “Needs better optimization.”
    • “Not giving one star only because the game is genuinely fun, but the performance is way too bad.”
  • story2 mentions

    The story aspect of the game is perceived as lacking depth, with users suggesting that it could benefit from a more engaging background theme and a more user-friendly approach to mission retries without ads. Overall, the narrative fails to captivate, leading to mixed reviews.

    • “The story feels disjointed and lacks coherence, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “I found the plot to be predictable and uninspired, which really detracted from the overall experience.”
    • “The character development is shallow, leaving me with little emotional investment in their journeys.”
  • grinding2 mentions

  • replayability2 mentions

    The game offers limited replayability, as players find it easy and quickly lose interest, despite the presence of appealing skins for the pieces. Overall, while it is not considered bad, the lack of depth contributes to its diminished long-term engagement.

    • “The app itself is okay but loses replay value quickly.”
  • emotional2 mentions

    Players find the game emotionally engaging, particularly appreciating its cute notifications that evoke feelings of nostalgia and connection, leading to moments of genuine emotional response. However, some users also express frustration with the game's design and mechanics, which can detract from the overall emotional experience.

    • “So when I was off it for a very long time, I was still on my phone and I got a cute notification saying 'Hello, is anybody there?' It said, 'Are you here? It's been a while and we miss you.' It was so cute it made me cry. This is probably the best game with the word 'clash of' in it. Now I think this game would be the best one for everybody. It has a lot of ads, but because of the cuteness it can sometimes give and the good kind of game texture it makes, then yeah.”
    • “This game actually made me feel stupid while playing, not gonna lie... the fact that whoever helped make this game probably didn't finish 3rd grade really tells me a lot about how each level percentage is scaled.”
