Community Insight:
We finally found one of our favorite game.
This game challenges tire brain to think. Its great.
This game is super fun! Have been totally addicted to it since they came out with newer levels. Only issue is once you get past level 700 the levels become insanely hard to beat. As in, you need to spend upwards of 30 min on each level and also get lucky. Once you get past level 730, some of the levels are downright impossible to beat without items. If the levels get harder, there is no realistic way to even come close to beating this game.
After like a day or two of playing the levels just repeat themselves. We would absolutely love a level editor so we can make our own or play levels that other users have posted, it would dramatically improve the game.
We dont see our review. So we will post again. We love playing this game. However, we have to watch long time consuming ads to advance in some rounds. We spend more time with ads than game. At some point, our rational self will quit this. It is not that worth it.
We switched from android to iOS and now all progress is zero. Contacted developer who told us that our progress cannot be restored or is not supported. Developer obviously doesnt give a care about you.
The hot time is broken – will not play nor should you without it.
The game is excellent for the first few thousand levels but unfortunately becomes less fun beyond that point. We enjoy the mindless activity of the game but beyond level 5k or so its just annoyingly difficult and no longer enjoyable. It would help if you would at least make a quick way to scroll back to the earlier levels.
Pretty solid game, it goes from simple to complex and you learn how to play with strategy.
Easy to come back to, and good difficulty increase.
Im on level 1215 and 1725 now. As you get past level 500-1000, you realize the levels are repetitive. Just the opponents start off with way more points. Like at 1725, we start off with 55 and the red/pink/orange starts off with like 900. Some levels, its extremely hard to win without boosts. We end up passively watching a bunch of ads while watching kdrama to earn enough coins for freeze or conversion shots. It was fun until probably level 1000. We cant imagine what it will be like at level 2000. Anyways, it was a good game. Had potential – if they made new designs/maps rather than just using the same ones and starting the opponents off with such a drastic advantage.
We play this nightly, but these ads are getting worse. We doubt anyone will ever see this review. But worth a try.
Games fun and challenging, but ads after every round is excessive and may turn us off playing.
It was fun while it lasted. We dont use any items to beat the rounds, the only times Ive used it were to simply see what they do, even then that was very early on. Sadly, now that Ive reached the levels where Im unable to beat the round without using an item, as no matter what we do, the opponent will take over half the map before we even get another cell. And like the previous reviews, the opponent cells will start fully stacked after a takeover as compare to the player takeover with not even half the stack. Ex: 50 max stack, player will get 15 stack upon takeover , at most 25 stacks, compare to opponent getting full stack, ridiculous no matter how you look at it. Literally impossible to beat without Buying items. We enjoyed whatever little fun we did whilst playing this game.
Its kind of good but they make the levels to hard. Ive had the game for two months and Im only on level thirty, but then again it does give it a challenge. If you dont like strategy games dont get it.
If we leave the app even if its just to check the time we always run a high risk of freezing the game, not devastating, but enraging when we make lots of progress.
Ive played this game for a loooong time (Im over 10,000 3 star levels), but the ads have finally made this game unplayable. Was a great time waster, even though it does get repetitive at times. Ive just seen the ads get longer and longer and they play after almost every action now. Between levels? Ad Want coins? Ad Need to restart? Ad A lot of the levels are literally impossible without power ups and to get those you have to watch A LOT of ads to get the coins for them. Such a shame. We hate deleting this one, but the devs have just gotten too greedy. You used to run into short 5 second ads but now those are gone too. 15 seconds or more. Its just a waste of a good game.
We had over 20,000 coins saved from watching videos. The game crashed. It would not reopen. We reinstalled it and lost our coins and progress. Bummer. Other than that, its a fun game.
Turn down the ad volume at least. Let us mute it. Im tired of our music pausing so we can watch an add for an app that we will never install. Also why does the game freeze if you look at your notifications? Or switch apps for a second? You have to restart if you do ANYTHING besides the game.
This was our favorite game. Months ago it failed to open. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled. Ive done all we know to do. The game literally wont start. We have newest iPhone with newest iOS update. We miss this game. We used to love it and didnt mind spending money occasionally on it in later levels. So sad it doesnt work anymore.
30 sec ads after every level. 5 star game into a dumpster fire. Deleted.
Later levels (>500) become impossible to win. Would be an amazing game if we had a chance, but just becomes too punishing.
Our viewers like the satisfaction of it. Sub to Its farra.
Non invasive ads, huge variety, well designed. Amazing game.
We honestly really like this game. We just wish you could make your own levels and/or have a level making community. Most people will beat the game and delete it, but if theres a level making system, players will be able to challenge themselves in new ways with this game.
Popular Nation had an ad that lasted several minutes. We understand watching an add to play the game but this pot add took over our phone. Great game horrible add.
Zero incentive to win doesnt give you any coins or anything after completing a level. Once you get to the higher levels they practically make it impossible for you to win without used coins forcing you to watch 10 ads just to have a chance to win a level then win or lose you have to watch 10 more ads to either try again or have a chance with the next level. That being said Im over 1000 levels in and we still play but we refuse to pay for so Im stuck with ads.
One big problem we see is after slicing a line, the line will still change color when its origin cell is captured. This is also a problem when a cell is capture the line falls back to the cell but the line color has already changed which reinforces the captured cell instead of weakening it.
We love this game its what we play to pass the time but its keeps crashing and wont even open please fix this.
We mean its a decent game sure but right at level 92 its impossible without a power up Id have to save up for vaccine thing just to win probably And with that… 2/10 (1/5).
We made it to level 519, got 3 stars on every level. We stopped playing for a few months and when we come back, level 520 is nearly impossible. We look up a video of the level on YouTube and try to mimic it but it was like we were watching a completely different level. Comments on the video agreed that the level in the video was less aggressive than it is now. We don't know what kind of "balancing" has been done in the previous updates but it should be rebalanced again. Maybe not to make it super easy, but at least possible.
Just a bad ripoff of the old cell wars. Animation is absolutely terrible and the adds are out of control.
Make more games like this that look better and to where you take over stuff we love games like this so satisfying.
Pretty cool, what it needs to be (level five, still not out of the tutorial stages).
Great game for hours of fun while sitting on the crapper.
The gameplay looks really good because its like places kinda like war but with cells we think its really unique.
This is an extremely well made game that doesnt shower you with ads and we really appreciate that coming from a free game, its quite enjoyable to play and solving the puzzles is a lot of fun so we recommend it to everyone. So far there isnt much of a use for items but theyre a nice addition.
Great game overall other than the issue of the game freezing on us and having to restart it.
This is a really fun game, but we got to level 207 and we cant continue because of a glitch. The cell in the middle connects to a cell right beside it and the bridge disappears but still takes up a slot. It does not send anything to anything by it. Please fix this or we cannot continue in game.
If you want to watch ads to win, then enjoy. We prefer games that are actually winnable without ad bought boosts.
We enjoyed the challenge of it but we wont play anymore. Playing the other game mode where its all 4 colors was our favorite till we got to 120. We cant get anywhere. The main orange cell can reach everything which makes it impossible to get anything going and have 2 main cells is so dumb. We spent a month trying to beat it and lost every time due to the main orange one reaching every other cell.
The game is stupid the other team get 100 and we only get like 20 this is the worst game we have ever played we say dont play.
Some of the levels dont require strategy, they require money. Sad.
Most broken game Ive ever played, on any machine.
For OCD people like ourselves you can not get 3 stars on some of the levels without items, which you have to buy or watch a TON of ads. No thanks.
Once you get past ~20 levels the AI is so much more advantaged it requires purchases to beat it. For example it will pair your one cell worth 20 against an AI with 30 points. Sure its challenging and fun but youll never win unless you use a bonus, if you dont have one available, youll have to buy one.
Cool game to play to pass the time.
Interesting concept, but Im really enjoying it.
We absolutely love this game. You can make endless loops of power and make your towers overpowered and its amazing.
Not gonna hold your whole attention but as a side activity its great.
