Community Insight:
This is a terrific game but the latest update continually blasts distracting ads with no option to remove them.
Fun game but it gets frustrating when it glitches and drops the brick straight down. Happens a lot.
It was a lot of fun took a long time.
Please move the button that ends the current game , make it smaller, harder to hit on accident when the game suddenly goes back to the start screen. Ive cancelled several well played games and its frustrating. Thank you.
Honestly one of our favorite games to play, completely ruined by the glitches associated with the pop-up ads. We understand games need ads to stay profitable, but this structure makes the game unplayable. It is so frustrating to be nearing a new high score and have the touch screen go completely unresponsive because of an ad. Deleting the app, no longer worth it at all.
It was so cool! When we want to have fun, we play this game. In our opinion, this game is good for our mind, we suggest you to play this game all of you.
This game is so much fun to play. Its really addictive and so easy.
This game is so amazing but we wish they would just let us buy an ad free version bc it is so disruptive to the gameplay. Great game on airplane mode though.
We love this game and ive gotten our boyfriend hooked on it too. It passes time and stimulates our mind more than scrolling through social media. It never lags either.
If we close game abruptly or to answer phone it wont save our score and restart.
Addictive, yet educational and free! Thanks.
Is anyone else experiencing this constantly? When the numbers get too high or we have an incoming message, even on do not disturb mode besides that we love this game.
This game is simple and great. Our only complaint are the constant adds. Unfortunately, its not really the kind of game you should spend money on to get rid of those.
Good game but we have 2048 also and maybe the dropping numbers should just be twos and fours.
Can you PLEASE add an are you sure prompt to end current game? We have accidentally hit that twice now when coming back to games and its wasted hours of work. Or move the button further from continue. No reason to put user games at risk like this.
We love this game and Im pretty sure we paid for ad free at some point, but the latest update is suddenly bombarding us with ads every time we play.
Enjoy the game but it is getting stuck, draining battery and warming the device. Its very frustrating when at crucial mommemt it get stuck and then number stack up quickly before we could place them.
We cant tell you how many times Ive had a good game going and we lose because one tile doesnt slide correctly or it automatically drops in the wrong place. Super frustrating when youve got a high score going.
Game should speed up or it gets boring.
We enjoy the game. Its simple yet gratifyingly challenging. Our biggest complaint is the ads. As the ads change at the bottom of the screen they cause terrible glitches and completely sabotage the game. It might be possible to chalk that up as an added challenge, but there are certain ads that cause the app to shut down altogether. Glitches include bricks becoming non responsive to navigational attempts as well as falling without control of the player. We just finished playing a game where an ad caused 5 bricks to fall without anything we could do to control them, they stacked and it ended the game we had only just started. There are games where we can get the score over 100,000 but most are sabotaged by about 30,000. If the ads issue was fixed Id give this game 5 stars. Its fun, time consuming, and a great mental exercise. But the glitches are frustrating and just make us want to delete the game altogether.
Great game but for some reason, the games algorithm gets stuck and while in the early stages it will give you coinciding numbers but as the game goes on, it will get stuck and feed numbers out that are in no way corresponding to the numbers that should be generating or give you possibilities to achieve the reduction of the bricks. Someone needs to address this issue. Currently have a high score of 206430 but could have been higher had the quirks been worked out.
We love this game, but it has a horrible bug right now where an ad will start playing when you open the app and it wont pause your game, so your high point game ends because the blocks keep stacking while youre trying to close the ad as quickly as possible. Im pretty sure we paid to have ads removed, so we dont even know why Im getting these. Please fix it.
The game becomes very sluggish and unresponsive as your score gets higher, and tiles start piling up, which leads to errors not caused by the player, but by malfunction of the game. For example, tiles will fall where you didnt intend them to. It happens almost every time we play, and it has happened on multiple devices. It gets very frustrating when youre doing well, but lose the game on a malfunction, which you sometimes cant recover from, or when several happen consecutively.
Ads are in a spot where you can accidentally hit them while playing, end it dominoes into a game loss. The game freezes and crashes constantly, which shouldnt happen because its just math and simple graphics we dont understand why this is so taxing for our phone. It would be great otherwise.
Was really enjoying this. Got past 700,000+ points. Trying to beat our record but sometimes when near the top of the board The game lags and your piece cant slip by and you lose. Too hard to get up there in points only to have it bug out. We were just at 400,000 when the lag made us lose so that why Im putting our review now.
OMG THIS INTERFACE DRIVES ME NUTS. We dont know what button to press is actually to play the game. It all seemed like an ad to us initially. Then the worst part is accidentally shifting and dropping the brick as its falling down so its not in the place we had intended for it to be- and its so frustrating because a delicate touch will screw you over, again and again!!!! Miss the original version- do yourself a favor and stick with that.
Its a fun game, but it doesnt calculate all of the scoring especially the very large numbers. It make the game no fun to play when your score is extremely inaccurate. We wont play anymore. So disappointed.
Loved this game, but then updated to the newest version and now its glitchy and drops the block right down the center and has made us lose a few times. Also lost our progress and had us restart. Frustrating! Love this game otherwise.
This game has so many glitches causing the game to freeze and yet the numbers drop without you being able to control where it goes! Im done.
We love this game. The last 2 times we didnt get a second life ! Whats up.
We love this game. It is very fun but time consuming. It has been glitchy for a long time now. It freezes while you are playing and drops the block straight down the middle which you sometimes cannot recover from. Very frustrating.
Please fix this game. It is so glitchy and we dont understand why Im seeing ads when we paid to get rid of them years ago. We love this game but it is becoming almost unplayable.
Was a fun game. Now so many adds pop up in the middle of our play we deleted it. Greed kills.
We love playing this game but it keeps hanging in the middle of the game and drops right down after waiting a few seconds. Its so annoying. We hope the developer can fix this issue.
Having an ad popup in the play area and block the view of the game is ridiculous. The game didnt pause and the ad couldnt be cleared. Buggy and slow and now a piece of crap.
We paid to remove the ads and we are still seeing the ads and now we have a permanent little block below that says Privacy Policy. Oh, yeah money for nothing. 2048 is our favorite but we just may have to find another app to download.
This game is fun to play until it starts glitching. When it glitches it causes horrible game play and its really irritating. Please fix this.
The farther you progress the more the game glitches out.
Cant get rid of ad even after paying.
The most difficult part of this game is the jankiness of the controls.
We purchased the ad-free version TWICE. We still get ads.
We paid to not have ads but after each game there are ads! UGH.
Why is there so many ads even when we pause the game? The pause button is meant to pause the game not show us about some janky save the princess mobile game.
We have been playing this game for almost two years. The ads dont bother us. What does is the game locking up. We will place the block in an area and it will freeze and once it comes back in 5-10 seconds it lands where it wants to. Which in return messes us up. Also there has been several times we dont get the second chance it just freezes and then end. We dont see any updates and we did the troubleshooting and it still messes up. Fix the game please.
Multiple times that we have played, the two advertisements that interfere with gameplay after start have caused multiple blocks to drop and end our game prematurely. The last update on this game sucked. Those advertisements didnt happen before that.
Have loved this game. Last update now forces a video add when ever we launch the app. This is disappointing. Really soils a good thing. The pieces continue to fall while you try to click out of the adds. Frequently ruins our in progress games that we only play 3-5 min at a time. Or at least we used to.
After the most recent update, ads have started playing despite having paid to remove them.
This game is fun and reminds us of math.
Game locks up after playing only a few minutes. It also launches advertising at very bad times, costing the game that you are in. Other than that, its quite addictive. Ill give it two stars. Nah, 2.5.
It was working fine up till 3 days ago. Now it hangs about 5 mins into the game. Does not save scores.
