  • monetization
    673 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the excessive and intrusive nature of the ads. Many players report being bombarded with unskippable ads during gameplay, which disrupts the experience and often leads to frustration. While there is an option to pay for an ad-free experience, some users feel that the frequency and length of the ads make the game nearly unplayable, overshadowing its enjoyable mechanics.

    • “Great game, little to no ads, and when there is you get a reward, 100% would download.”
    • “Worth it to pay for no ads!”
    • “Love it, even bought no ads which I rarely do :3”
    • “The game itself is fun, however, it is rendered nearly impossible to play because of the ads. They are rather frequent, but what's worse is that the majority instead of having an exit button have a 'Google Play Store' button that forces you to go to the Play Store, and when you exit and return to the app it has fully reset itself, ending whatever run you're on.”
    • “The ads really put one off from buying. It's a good game, but the forced ads every minute and a half is an absolute piss take.”
    • “I understand that the ads are needed for the game to make money, but to interrupt the game multiple times to play an ad makes it to where this game is not as fun as it could be!”
  • gameplay
    86 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally described as fun, engaging, and simple, with some players appreciating its unique mechanics and level design. However, a significant number of reviews highlight the intrusive and frequent ad interruptions that detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration and a diminished enjoyment of the game. While some users find the gameplay addictive, the excessive ads often overshadow the positive aspects, prompting many to consider uninstalling the game.

    • “The gameplay is simple, yet very engaging and fun.”
    • “Insanely addicting, unique gameplay (for the concept, not necessarily this release as there are clones out there). This is hands down the best of any of these types of games.”
    • “This simple game is loads of fun and great for a quick, relaxing, yet challenging moment of gameplay.”
    • “Having ads constantly pop up while trying to play ruins any chance of proper gameplay or strategy.”
    • “The gameplay is exceptionally easy, with no progressive leveling, no difficulty modifiers, no change of pace or gameplay.”
    • “The problem lies with ads and popups interrupting gameplay, lack of speed and fairly too easy to complete lines without effort.”
  • music
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration with the game's music functionality, particularly after a recent update that prevents background music from playing while the game is active, even when in-game sounds are turned off. Many players desire the ability to listen to their own music or watch videos simultaneously, highlighting a lack of in-game music and sound options that detracts from the overall experience. The persistent bugs that pause background music further exacerbate these issues, making the game less enjoyable for those who prefer to play with their own audio.

    • “I hope they add some type of music options in the future; the game is oddly quiet.”
    • “But it lacked music, the sense of fun.”
    • “Could be a great puzzle game if it would quit freezing; music or noise would be nice too.”
    • “Highly recommend recent update has stopped me from being able to play music in the background, even with the sound and haptic feedback turned off in the game.”
    • “It used to be amazing, but ever since the last update, it pauses all music I have playing in the background even if I have the sound turned off.”
    • “Makes it unplayable for me because I want to listen to music when I play games.”
  • stability
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is frequently criticized, with users reporting significant bugs that cause progress resets, freezing upon reopening the app, and issues with ads that disrupt gameplay. While players find the game enjoyable, the persistent glitches detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration.

    • “Also, it keeps resetting my progress; very buggy.”
    • “Game was good to start with; however, if you come out of the app and go back to the game, it freezes and you have to start from the beginning of your game.”
    • “Not only is it an ad apocalypse, but the game actively sabotages you with some of its glitches, forcing you to watch even more ads.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are characterized by a retro simplicity that many players appreciate, with colorful visuals that enhance the addictive gameplay. While some find the graphics satisfying and reminiscent of the 90s, others criticize them for being boring or glitchy, particularly when certain elements are used. Overall, the graphics evoke a nostalgic charm that resonates with some players, despite mixed opinions on their quality.

    • “The graphics are colorful, and the gameplay is easy to learn but challenging.”
    • “The visuals are satisfying.”
    • “Its simple mechanics and vibrant visuals make it addictive and satisfying.”
    • “It's fun, but the graphics are very boring.”
    • “Worst game ever, don't play, graphics are glitchy, and I get kicked out if I use a blue square.”
    • “Simple graphics give 90s vibes.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the developers' efforts to prevent endless score farming through combo mechanics, indicating a thoughtful design. However, many find the gameplay and ad interruptions can become tedious over time, making it more suitable as a casual, wake-up game rather than a long-term engagement.

    • “The ads and gameplay do get tedious, but it's fun as a wake-up game (a game to play to fire up the mind).”
    • “Fun concept, but it would get tedious after a while.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is generally well-received, with players finding it genuinely funny and enjoyable. However, some users have noted that bugs, such as losing combos unexpectedly, can detract from the overall experience.

    • “Really funny and challenging.”
    • “Lol, it's funny.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is described as enjoyable, but it suffers from significant optimization issues, leading to frequent freezes and crashes that result in lost progress. Users report that even on high-performance devices, these technical problems hinder the overall experience.

    • “Really fun and I wish I could keep playing it, but the game is very unoptimized and keeps freezing, often causing progress loss. The only reason I lost my highest score was because the game crashed and didn't save my progress. I have a very high-performance phone with 8GB RAM, so I know it's not an issue with my hardware.”
    • “The game is enjoyable, but the optimization is severely lacking. Frequent freezes lead to lost progress, which is incredibly frustrating. I have a high-end device, so it's disappointing to experience these issues.”
    • “While the gameplay is engaging, the optimization problems are a major drawback. The game crashes often, resulting in lost progress, and it's hard to enjoy when you can't rely on it to run smoothly.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express frustration with a glitch that undermines the game's emotional engagement, as it allows for an easy win strategy that diminishes the challenge and enjoyment. This issue detracts from the overall experience, making it difficult for players to connect with the game's intended emotional impact.
