Gameplay reviews are mixed, with many users expressing frustration over frequent ads that disrupt the flow and enjoyment of the game. While some appreciate the core mechanics and variety in gameplay, others find the recent updates have negatively impacted the experience, making it tedious and less enjoyable. The undo mechanic is also criticized for not functioning as intended, further complicating gameplay.

“Ads are fairly frequent but are short and allow for plenty of gameplay between them.”
“Just as block merger advertised, but better, because the gameplay was different from the ad.”
“The frustration begins with the 'tap to start' where a tap also lays down a piece where tapped, and the random, occasional cloning of the current block, which ruins planning ahead and complicates gameplay as the board fills.”
“Now because of the forced update and after playing this new update only once, the gameplay and graphics are mediocre at best. There are ads every 2 or 3 moves, and the high score that I maintained on the previous version without ever having to restart has been wiped out.”
“A big no-no when designing a game with ads is you never, under any circumstances whatsoever, interrupt the flow of gameplay with an ad.”
