Community Insight:
The automatic rainbow boost is not always helpful. Other than that love the difficulty of the dance! We cant stop playing! Okay the mission lab is a waste we play this game for a great amount of time daily n there is no way to win all those coins to get prizes please be more realistic.
This game really get it. ADHD people can actually play without getting annoyed by ads. Much respect to the devs, this game fireee.
This game is challenging but SO FUN.
We love playing this game but that darn rainbow hole boost that you get for free after winning one round literally makes us lose the next round 98% of the time and its annoying. Its not helpful at all.
Please add an option to remove the timers. We loved this game because it was challenging. We like to study the board before making a move. Its no longer fun, just stressful. Removing. Will check reviews now and then to see if the timers can be removed. Update: thank you for removing the timers.
The game is fine. Our issue is Im looking for a challenging puzzle. We just finished a very hard level and we passed it just by tapping on the only available color options. Maybe levels are mis labeled, but if its going to be a hard level we need to fail it, or have to put SOME thought. This was level 59. The game mechanics also need to be looked at. The UFO power up says beat the level on the first try to get a power up. We failed the level on the first try (on purpose) beat the level on the next attempt. Then on the next level we get a free power up. But this wasnt the first try. (If you want people to spend money dont make the game so easy and dont freely give power ups that make it even easier (now on 98 hoping it will get tougher at some point).
Great game, but it needs a free option to earn coins. You shouldnt get stuck on a level forever, with your only way to pass it being to buy powerups with your own real money. Every single game Ive ever played has ads you can watch to earn coins.
WAY too many ads. Not very challenging. You end up needing to use limited tools to pass levels, which you need to watch an ad or pay for. Not to mention ads between every level.
Omg super cute game! So funny watching all the little stick people run around we can not stop laughing! It is a lot of fun lol.
Only ads are after the level and you can close out.
Once you get to level 11, its impossible to beat the level without using power ups. They only give you two free power ups on level 10. Most people probably already used both power ups on level 10 and they know this. Therefore, the only way to beat level 11 is to watch an ad or pay money. And we mean, we cant do a single move on level 11 without using a power up. This game is trash.
Fun game. Havent had to use power ups. Stuck on 140. No matter how we play the bomb on blue gets us. Tutorials online for 140 arent the same.
Im in the 200s its challenging and fun, but has gotten really difficult but Im still trying to level up.
Game is good. Ads can get a bit excessive. We dont so much mind the interruption as we do the fact they can be a minute long. But the puzzles themselves are quite good and are different enough to be interesting for 20 minutes or so.
THIS IS MY HOLE!!! IT WAS MADE FOR ME.
The game is fun and challenging. However, it needs to be modified a bit. Either set the bomber to explode its surroundings, not the entire board, or set the timer longer. It is impossible to win, and Ive been stuck on level 112 for weeks. This makes us wanna give up this game.
Im enjoying this game. Our complain; we can only earn 3-4% of the cost of power-ups or extra moves when we complete a level. No option to earn extra moves from other players. We have found the game challenging but with only 5 moves, and lengthy time to replenish, our play time is limited.
We played this up to level 140. Cant get past it and they give you no options to earn coins but to purchase them. Most apps let people watch ad videos to earn points or you get daily gifts that can help in play. This one does not. Will delete app because we cant get past 140 and we are not making a purchase.
We dont like; is very stressed, low rewards coin and high price help.
Easy to learn the dynamics of the game. You build help bonuses and coin quickly but you hit level 130 and its built so you cannot clear the board without using coins or bonuses. About every 5 board after that until 160 its extreme, super and hard levels that are built again so you cant clear without using coins/bonuses. Just another app that purposely builds levels you cant pass naturally.
Entertaining, it is a game for people of all ages.
We have been stuck in this level for over a month now. We sent an email to their support and havent gotten a response yet. We dont see how this level is possible without buying the pass to get extra boxes or ufos.
Am we getting people to the end of times? To a shelter after WWIII? Kind off awkward.
Dont use any of your free abilitys until you get to level 117 or you need to spend money to pass. This level is quite literally impossible without using a ability. Until then its a fun game. But Ill be uninstalling now.
What does it do??? Ive wasted a spaceship not knowing what it does.
We really liked this app and have been addicted to playing since we got it a few weeks ago. Ive been stuck on MY version of 351 for a while, which is quite literally unsolvable without paying. Trying to see online if anyone else has this problem, the level 351 everyone else has literally has 4 colors arranged simply while ours is impossibly convoluted! On top that, after paying to beat it, Im on 352 which also has the same issue everyone elses verso. Of 352 online is so different than ours is! This is utter nonsense. If you want an app that is consistent and you can work together with other players online, dont hold your breath. Developers make your game CONSISTENT with all levels between players.
After paying $8 for No Ads, we still had to watch ads? What does it cost for unlimited no ad play.
We like this game. Its challenging and fun and youre not under pressure by a clock. We have a couple times a day we set time aside to play, one in the morning. Today, we grabbed a few minutes and opened the app for the first time since the day before and we had one life. ONE. A shame, really.
Ads are annoying. But we really like it. Most relaxing game to us. HOWEVER, eventually you do get a TIMER. We hate timers. We are level 620 now (we cant remember when it started maybe level 600). And the times are 1 min 20 sec or even 1 min only. Maybe a one 6 min game. This game is already a puzzler and to add a timer adds pressure which is the opposite of relaxing to us.
We love this game so much. Its so fun. The dev is really responsive too. An update caused a feature in the game to not work but the dev fixed it as soon as possible. We really appreciate that. We dont know why this game is so satisfying, but you should try it.
This game is so simple someone with no brain can play it (at least at the beginning.)Just tap a hole and if any people of the same color are on the board, they jump into it. Rotate around the board and all will go in. (Dah).
We like this game to kill time, but Im not going to leave the app open on our device for 2.5 hours for the lives to reload on this app. If its not fixed soon we wont have a choice but to delete the app.
Good game! Enjoyed it but now Im stuck on level 133. We think its impossible to pass unless you buy something.
We enjoyed the game, the strategy needed. Then we started hitting one hard or very hard levels all in a row. Cleverly planned so after a few hard levels all the $ and boosts are exhausted. We played the last level for 2 days, no matter what we did we lost. Goodbye greedy developers.
When we had this ad we though it was boring but we LOVED it it was so fun and we think some people should try itttttttt.
We understand ads are how developers make their money, but this game is deceiving because the option to continue has a regular option and a watch an ad option that gives you more coins, but the regular option makes you watch an ad anyway, so each time you finish a level, you have to watch an ad, which just slows down the whole experience and makes it tough to want to continue playing and not just delete the app.
It was the best game Ive played in awhile we loved it.
This game is really nice we like how it works ur brain it has glitches or bugs! We recommend this game.
Fun trying to make the best choices to draw in the characters to the holes the quickest way.
Really fun game but if you get stuck, you have to pay for boosters. Unlike other games where you can watch an ad or something for a free booster. So in this game when you get stuck theres nothing to help.
Once you get to a certain point in the game, then the same five or six levels just keep repeating. That is such a bummer because this is our absolute favorite game and we hate to not play it and wait for more levels to come out.
With the new update occasionally the holes with two colors wont work, and we have to close out the app and lose a life and sometimes that wont even work and we have to use a helper (like the ufo) but sometimes that doesnt work.
We really like this game but you need it to where you can earn extra money by watching videos or doing daily challenges, it would be good to earn the extras that help (adding a extra box, multiple color one, etc.) that way as well. We have been stuck on a level and havent been able to pass it in about a week because we dont have any money and we are out of the helping tools.
We like the game a lot but the fees are way too high for us. The lowest bundle Ive seen in $4.95 and it jumps to $9.99 from there, we think. If there were ways to earn assists when youre stuck like a tool every couple days or something we would keep it. But theres not, so so long.
We like that the game is challenging, but sometimes its too challenging. All of this was ok until we reached level 471, where the people from a tunnel literally never move even when they are the very last thing on screen. We think if we had the ufo booster we might be able to trick it into working. Unfortunately we dont have one, there is no daily reward that might give us one, and no way to watch an ad to get one. Super frustrating.
Some levels are repetitive and some freeze. Can you guys fix these bugs.
Love the game, however we got to level 498 and it would freeze and not allow us to complete the level. We had one color on the board with no space boxes full and wasnt able to complete. It was honestly a bummer because this is the best game Ive played in a good while.
This was a fun game. The new levels are broken. The people do not leave the tunnels and you get stuck in the same spot no matter what you do.
We had to delete this game at 115 because there is literally no way to get past this level. The bombs are annoying because it still explodes even if you are about to do what it wanted when it had one second left. We were SO CLOSE multiple times, but we had no way of getting more coins to continue the level (had 880). We started at just about every possible area of the board to see if that would help. Still nothing. 10 seconds on those bombs is NOT enough time. This is all so stupid because we really enjoyed the game, but this one thing made it completely not possible for us to continue playing.
We got stuck on level 546 and had to use booster as people would not go into the hole when clicked due to a bug. Having the same issue with level 550. Have had no responses from customer support.
