  • monetization
    543 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of unskippable ads that appear after nearly every level, often lasting longer than the gameplay itself. Many players feel that the game is designed to push them towards in-app purchases, as they frequently encounter mandatory ads even when opting out of rewards, leading to frustration and a sense of being manipulated into spending money. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses, the overall sentiment is that the ad frequency detracts from the enjoyment of the game, making it feel more like an advertising platform than a playable experience.

    • β€œGreat game, no ads, and I could complete all puzzles within the time, so you don't 'have to pay' like some people say.”
    • β€œFirst time seeing a game with no ads at all, πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘β€
    • β€œThere are no ads and the gameplay is actually good.”
    • β€œI spend more time watching ads than I do actually playing.”
    • β€œThe game is so hard it doesn't give you anything for free when you're stuck on a hard level to be able to win. It puts like 3 puzzles in one and gives you double timers; it's just more stressful than helpful for boredom. You can't even watch ads to help you; you have to buy your help, and even that is not worth it.”
    • β€œIt becomes unplayable when the ads are longer or as long as solving the puzzle, which is supposed to reduce stress, not encourage it.”
  • gameplay
    49 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its engaging mechanics and creative design, with many players enjoying the core puzzle elements. However, the frequent and often frustrating time limits, along with mandatory ads, detract significantly from the overall experience, leading to a sense of artificial difficulty and a pay-to-win atmosphere. While the game has potential, the combination of these issues has caused some players to consider uninstalling it.

    • β€œThe core gameplay is awesome.”
    • β€œI really do love this game and the idea and the gameplay and everything!”
    • β€œThe gameplay is fun and engaging.”
    • β€œFun enough game, but ads running along the bottom of the screen stall the game while they update, and after about level 30, you get mandatory ads between each level, which means 60 seconds of gameplay followed by 15-60 seconds of ads, which gets wearing quickly.”
    • β€œYou only get like 5 minutes worth of gameplay because each level is time-constricted to just a few seconds.”
    • β€œThe game is okay, but it lacks a driving force to want to complete levels, and its mundane gameplay gets boring and repetitive.”
  • stability
    41 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant issue, with users reporting frequent crashes, freezes, and glitches that disrupt gameplay. Many players experience problems with the game board freezing while the timer continues, leading to frustration and the loss of lives. Overall, the game has potential but is marred by technical issues that detract from the experience.

    • β€œGreat to play, but let down by a buggy game and non-existent support.”
    • β€œHowever, this app freezes constantly (not the timer of course, just the blocks freeze) and has to be closed out, which deducts a life each time, so that is very frustrating.”
    • β€œGame constantly crashes; I've spent money to get extra time, and the game glitches so the time still goes down but blocks don't move, resulting in not completing the level again and them expecting me to buy more coins to get more time.”
  • music
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews consistently highlight a significant absence of music and sound effects in the game, which many players find off-putting and boring. Users express a desire for background music and sound effects to enhance the gameplay experience, noting that the lack of audio contributes to a sense of monotony. Additionally, some players experienced technical issues, such as crashes that interrupted their music, further detracting from the overall enjoyment.

    • β€œI would probably give this game more stars if there was some background music.”
    • β€œIt would be better if there were some kind of sound effects or even some music.”
    • β€œIdk if it's just my phone, but playing without music is quite off-putting.”
    • β€œGame concept is good, didn't have any issues with advertisements, but there's no sound in the game, no noises for the block movements or any sort of music.”
    • β€œBeing honest, it gets kinda boring after the first 10-20 levels and not to mention there's absolutely no sound nor music which makes it well, boring.”
    • β€œI recently downloaded the game but have absolutely no sound, no music... nothing!!”
  • graphics
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the graphics of the game receive mixed reviews; while many players appreciate the beautiful visuals and good quality, others criticize them for being mediocre or lacking in excitement. Some users noted issues such as lag and discrepancies between in-game graphics and promotional materials. Despite these criticisms, the graphics are generally considered a strong point of the game, complementing its challenging puzzles and gameplay.

    • β€œThe positives... this game has beautiful graphics and challenging puzzles.”
    • β€œGood graphics, responsive controls, challenging gameplay, different levels of difficulty that require a few lives to work out, or use boosters if you want to progress quickly.”
    • β€œI love the concept, game, twists, layers, graphics, level of difficulty, everything except the timer.”
    • β€œI wish there were better game graphics and maybe more adventures rather than just the dungeon beat 7 levels straight.”
    • β€œPoor graphics, black pauses between levels.”
    • β€œUI is mediocre at best and graphics are boring.”
  • emotional
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a mix of frustration and emotional turmoil due to gameplay mechanics, particularly the challenging time constraints and glitches that hinder progress. While the difficulty adds a layer of engagement, the excessive wait times and punitive systems can lead to feelings of inadequacy and disillusionment, ultimately affecting their desire to continue playing. Despite these negative emotions, some still appreciate the overall gameplay experience.

    • β€œMade me feel like a stupid animal who deserves nothing on this earth but pain, but the gameplay loop is immaculate.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for being virtually nonexistent, with players feeling that it detracts from gameplay by introducing frustrating time constraints and a lack of engaging narrative. Many users express disappointment in the overall quality, suggesting that the focus on monetization through battle passes overshadows any meaningful storytelling.

    • β€œThis game has poor quality, lacks a coherent story, and features a battle pass for no apparent reason.”
    • β€œAfter the first 30 minutes, it turns into a mission impossible unless you buy more lives or wait hours to get them for free.”
    • β€œTimed quests are frustrating, and daily quests or something similar would be a nice addition.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find humor in the game's ironic approach to ads, where declining an optional ad leads to mandatory ad viewing, highlighting a clever twist on player choice. This unexpected situation adds a layer of comedic frustration, making the experience both amusing and thought-provoking.

    • β€œVery funny, use the brain for victory.”
    • β€œAll went great until after completing some levels; suddenly the game started making you watch an ad after every level. The funny thing is they ask you if you want to see an ad for increased profit, and if you decline, you watch an ad with no profit.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is widely criticized, with users reporting slow loading times, heavy processor demands leading to overheating, and poor-quality animations that detract from the overall experience. Additionally, the requirement for an internet connection is deemed unnecessary given the lack of gameplay mechanics that justify it. Overall, while the game concept is appreciated, its technical execution is considered subpar.

    • β€œNot challenging, poorly optimized as it will put heavy work on your processor causing your device to overheat real quickly.”
    • β€œThe game is not optimized; it loads very slowly and has a bunch of ugly animations and shading, which just add to its horrible and unoriginal look.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find grinding in the game to be a mixed experience; while it can be frustrating, the sense of achievement upon overcoming challenges is rewarding. However, there is criticism regarding the repetitive nature of ads for bonuses, suggesting that more variety would enhance the experience. Overall, players prefer a focus on the core gameplay rather than additional farming elements.

    • β€œIt's frustrating at times, but the feeling of achievement when I finally beat a level is great. My only criticism is that when I play an ad for extra life or double coins, they are repetitively tedious; a variety would be better.”
    • β€œI want to play the block game, not the farming game.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the replayability of levels, as it allows them to refine their skills and achieve faster clear times by minimizing unnecessary moves, catering to those who enjoy a challenge.

    • β€œMaking levels replayable encourages players who enjoy challenging gameplay to achieve faster clear times without unnecessary moves.”
    • β€œThe variety of choices and paths in the game makes each playthrough feel fresh and exciting, enhancing its replayability.”
    • β€œWith multiple endings and unlockable content, the game invites players to dive back in and explore different outcomes.”
    • β€œIf you make levels replayable, that will encourage players who like challenging levels for faster clear times without unnecessary moves.”
    • β€œOnce you've completed the game, there's little incentive to go back and play it again.”
    • β€œThe lack of variety in gameplay makes replaying the game feel tedious and uninteresting.”
