The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the overwhelming number of ads and the perceived lack of genuine rewards for watching them. While some appreciate the option to pay for ad removal and find the game enjoyable without constant interruptions, others feel misled by promises of prizes that are rarely fulfilled, leading to accusations of the game being a cash grab. Overall, players are divided on whether the monetization strategy enhances or detracts from their gaming experience.
āSo a game with no ads, great!ā
āNot been playing for long only a few weeks but so far so good, this is better than prize fiesta and more user-friendly and easier to navigate. So far absolutely no ads, which is a bonus with no pressure to pay to win. It's a nice little game; it seems genuine and good.ā
āNo ads, no need to spend money if you don't want to, it's nice.ā
āIt's a crock; they make money off us playing and watching ads while promising prizes that you will never get.ā
āTerrible experience when you get to level 75. Not only do you drop back levels when you fail, but it also tries to push payments multiple times. Google refunded me because of the loss of items that Prize Blast said I got but never did. I doubt very much anyone's had anything; it's a complete scam app.ā
āThe only way an app like this can make money is if you watch ads because every ad you watch, they're getting paid while you get nothing in return.ā

The graphics of the game are consistently praised for their vibrant colors and appealing design, contributing to an enjoyable gameplay experience. Many users highlight the smooth performance and fun visual elements, although a few mention occasional glitches. Overall, the graphics enhance the game's charm and keep players engaged.
āThe graphic design is beautifully bursting with cheery colors; it offers layers of challenges that could monetary cost the player to progress to higher levels.ā
āI love it: bright colors, amazing graphics and cherry on the top: the players community.ā
āGreat game and graphics.ā
āFrom graphics to in-game currency, this game is literally BS and I'm sure those pics of 'winners' are really just edited pics.ā
āFrom the graphics to the game itself.ā
āGraphics are bright colors which makes the game more exciting, I believe!ā

The story is generally described as cute and entertaining, with engaging missions that provide a sense of progression. However, many players find it frustratingly difficult to complete due to the high resource requirements and challenges, leading to feelings of being unable to finish the game. Despite these challenges, the game is praised for its addictive gameplay, appealing graphics, and fun character designs.
āThe story is entertaining, and the games get harder and more challenging, which I love.ā
āCute characters and funny-looking evil ones too; it fits well. The storyline is fun, and it's so relaxing.ā
āGood game, great graphics, story, and adventure.ā
āImpossible to finish a story as you need a ton of bottles to be consumed plus it takes a ton of gems to continue for 5 more moves. Free spins sometimes won't be free; it will be 5, and every gem you have is worth saving, but you can't save any gems. It's impossible to finish the story. None of my Facebook friends play; I have almost 300, and nobody on there plays at all. Some I tried inviting said they gave up hope and uninstalled as they never completed the story. Is this a scam?ā
āThe quests don't connect for rewards with the other game, Prize Fiesta.ā
āStory is cute, but it is rather tedious to select the squares before the enemies ruin them.ā

Overall, gameplay is described as fun, engaging, and addictive, with a colorful aesthetic and a mix of mechanics like slot machines and puzzles. However, some players express frustration with certain design choices that seem to limit progress or encourage spending, particularly in later levels. While many enjoy the gameplay experience, there are concerns about fairness and reward distribution.
āGameplay is fun; I am very close to unlocking the prize cave, and the multigame challenge is a great addition.ā
āGraphics are colorful and fun, gameplay is great. I like the mixture of the slot machine to include friends and earn a few cheeky gems and the puzzle game.ā
āPrize Blast is exciting and quite different from the other full game ahead games because of the pirate theme, the catchy music, and the engaging gameplay.ā
āThe treasure hunt mechanic is also too merciless with the requirements and chances to win cash via playing alone are limited.ā
āIntentional bad design: the game deliberately, at later levels, refuses to give what is needed to successfully pass stages as either a way to force players to spend money or to prevent progress. Additionally, the core aspect of this app is extremely rare, and you can see multiple stages without said mechanic appearing.ā
āI purchased a welcome chest, and I received nothing...ā

The stability of the game has received significant criticism, with users reporting frequent freezes and crashes that hinder progress and create frustrating cycles. While some players acknowledge the game's potential and express hope for future fixes, the presence of glitches and intrusive ads detracts from the overall experience.
āJust as I'm winning, it freezes. Why?ā
āBecause when it freezes and then ultimately crashes, you get set back, so you can't advance. It's a cycle, such b.s.ā
āIt sucks, it freezes up. What the hell are you doing? What kind of game is this supposed to be? Don't put it out if it doesn't work.ā

The music in Prize Blast is described as catchy and fun, enhancing the game's engaging pirate theme and overall gameplay experience. However, some users have raised concerns about the use of copyrighted material, specifically referencing the Pirates of the Caribbean theme, which detracts from the otherwise positive reception of the game's soundtrack.
āPrize Blast is exciting and quite different from other full game ahead games because of the pirate theme, the catchy music, and the engaging gameplay.ā
āIt's a great game that everyone should want to play; it's got really decent music that doesn't push you to go faster or farther. We're all impressed, thank you very much!ā
āFun, uncluttered, fun music and sounds - kind of a colorful, cheer-you-up game.ā
āUpdate: they have now suspended my account because I pointed out that they were using copyrighted material, which is the Pirates of the Caribbean theme music, and that this is an illegal act in itself.ā

āReached level 75 and lost everything... horrible game, hours of grinding wasted... šŖ I will never play a game by Lagoon Software Ltd ever again!ā
āIt is kind of tedious; however, I've stuck through.ā
āThe story is cute, but it is rather tedious to select the squares before the enemies ruin them.ā
