Community Insight:
We were playing and we realized that the game wasnt adding correctly! But we will still play it.
Fun game but every 10 moves the level alert pops up and it has to be Xed to proceed. Its super annoying.
We really like this game. Ive been playing it for years and have an insanely high score, but the next time they refresh the play board with low values, Im deleting the app. We want to see the huge numbers at the bottom of the grid! Its extraordinarily frustrating.
This game was updated 10/2023 and half the screen is missing since ! We have sent an email to app support and still NOTHING! ARE YOU GOING TO FIX THE BAD UPDATE??? This really is a mindless game. We like that because if we're having insomnia, we don't have to strain our brain.
We love this game been playing it to help our anxiety but since the recent update it wont even open up it just keeps saying loading once it said that for 5mins and never worked please please please fix it.
Awesome game but cant buy the no ads.
Cannot restore purchase and no response from customer support.
Cant restore ad-free purchase. Cant buy ad-free version again either. No response from support. Why are they still offering the game if theyre no longer maintaining it properly.
We absolutely love this game. It's the only one we've ever paid for. But it accidentally got deleted and after we redownloaded it we wasn't able to restore the purchase. We wasn't even able to buy it again! We just get an error message instead. Now the constant ads are driving us crazy and we really don't play it much anymore.
Hard to understand how to playno real directions explaining.
The game itself is really good! Probably the best in its class! Im upset that Ive been in the top 4% for the past few days. Im quite certain we should be in 1%. You should get a cash prize if you make it to the top 5 percentile.
We love this game as you cant really lose. Its perfect for playing before bed and its incredibly addicting!! But really what we love is how casual it is. Its the perfect forget everything for a bit game.
This game is great. It's a math game with out being math-y. We've played this game for many, many hours. We wonder how many ppl play, because after all of those hours it says we're in the top 2%. (obvious brag) This is a great FREE, and we mean TOTALLY free game with out violence and in-app charges. You can play at your leisure, it's very relaxing. We often play before bed.
Bro dont get us wrong, the app is addicting & fun. BUT THE ADS. You can just turn off your wifi & all is good but GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY there are so many.
We Play this game In the past and we were able to change The dots into emojis but we cant find the button for that did you get rid of it we just want to know.
We love playing this so pass time in the car or on the subway BUT wayyyyy too many ads. The amount of ads make such a good game almost impossible to play.
We've been playing this for a couple of weeks now, and up to almost 30 billion (our highest-level pop is 128 million). There's no end in sight, and we're not sure that we care. We've discovered that it works in powers of 2 (2, 4, 8, 16 &c) and that to maximize your score you should connect pops in 2's, 4's, 8's… For example, if you connect two 2's, you get 4, but if you connect three 2's you still get 4. It won't give you 6, but if you can connect four 2's you'll get 8. Sometimes it's to your advantage to take the loss if you can get a higher score. But you'll figure that out after you start playing. It's relaxing to play, and it's mindless enough that you can let your mind wander. As we said, you don't really know if you're winning, but maybe that's the point…. It's worth the two bucks to get rid of the ads, by the way. We learned that early on.
We dont usually rate Games but we mean its slightly very attractive so we mean give it a try if youre bored.
Its a nice game and we enjoy it but we dont like that there is an add after EVERY level maybe an add after every two or three levels we can understand.
Esta bien el juego pero yo quera el de emojis.
Too many ads on an otherwise enjoyable game. Takes us about 15-30 seconds to beat each level, after each level you get two back to back ads. If you enjoy watching ads this is the game for you.
It's fun, but it's impossible to lose. Literally we realized that you will ALWAYS have a play. Which makes it no fun. The concept of the game is fun, but this should be called "color" mode or "ad" mode because that's essentially all it is. We're at 2.7×10^196 points right now because we just wanted to see if we could crash the game…. We can't so far.
This game is really fun but the one down side is that Ive played for about 30 minutes. 10 minutes of actual play time and 20 minutes of ads. One hundred percent a 5 star but the ads ruin the game. Every time you level up which is pretty often you get an ad. We were gonna remove ads but come on. 3 dollars.
Love the game itself. Very satisfying but extremely annoying with the adds. We would gladly pay to stop the adds. Hopefully this can become an option.
Game seems fun. Makes you think about the moves you make to capitalize, BUT WHY SO MANY ADS!?!?!? After every level up theres an ad. Keep in mind it only takes a few minutes to level up especially in the beginning. Good potential only to be ruined by monetizing ads. Hope you guys rectify that, Im sure Im. It the only one that feels that way.
We got a new phone and when we downloaded the game again it started us all the way over! How do we get all our stuff back.
We dont like it because it gives many adds every second.
Zero stars. Horrible game. We normally find these types of games quite addicting and relaxing but youre better off downloading a different version from another developer, luckily there are plenty out there. This game is basically just to throw ads at you. Every time you level up (which is about every 10-20 seconds we started timing them) you are forced to watch 2 ads. We get thats how free games get their revenue but Ive never had a game that was all ads like this before.
Theres no way to win, no way to loose. And its not like you can fail a level, it just keeps going and going. Ive been playing for 45 minutes and nothing has happened besides us connecting dots. (besides hella ads if we wasnt on air plain mode).
Theres no way to win or lose… Too many ads.
Unless you want to feel more bored, get this game. This is a never ending game and can never lose, its annoying and wasted our time trying to figure it out. You get ads every time you level up too, but prevaentable with airplane mode. Ill give a 2 out of 5 just for the satisfying and addicting feeling, but other than that its a scam app and takes your time.
To many ads! Like every 30 seconds of game play.
Cant level up without an add popping up.
Dont download this app! Way too many ads! Plus its never ending. We want the challenge of beating us high score or competing against friends! Terrible.
We are on level 51 and we are actually really good at this game just started this so we mean like we really like it we just moved from Japan to South Carolina and we miss our friends a lot we miss our friends a lot and we dont know what to say but this game is amazing couldnt be better but we also love JoJo Siwa games JoJo Siwa is our favorite in the whole entire.
This app for one, is super cute with all the color and the additional color that you can get when you level up. Also its fun because there is a some strategy that you can use to get higher numbers like 1,000 or 10,000. One thing thats a little different then some of the other apps, is that the levels go up to 1,000 which means youll get a lot of use out of it. Over all l do think there could be emoji or something other then color and numbers once a in awhile, but l can definitely give it a.
This game is straight up addicting! Its the best game Ive played in years.
Im obsessed with it we cant stop.
This game is fun and is a Time killer, but. It would be better id you didnt have an add every time you leveled up.
We love how satisfying this game is!!! The only downside to it is that theres so much adds… But the nice game evens it out.
The ads arent really an issue for us , all we do is put our airplane mode on and then go at it. Im one who likes to ignore people anyway so the airplane mode is awesome. We can enjoy the game and our music with literally no interruptions we absolutely love this game.
Lots of ads. Trust its fun though.
This game was so entertaining and so intriguing that we got tired of seeing ads so we bought it with no ads. This is a fun game when your bored also great for killing time, its like its never ending lol.
Good for mindless fun but tons of ads each time you level up.
We just downloaded your game our question is where are the where are the Different type of pops all it is is circles with numbers.
Way too many ads after you level up.
We really like this game. Its annoying seeing an ad after every round. We understand this is how developers are making their money to keep the games available for us, its just a minor annoyance. The game is fun, simple, and kills time.
The game is addicting but its glitchy.
We have enjoyed the game. However, every time you level up (which is pretty often) theres an ad. We understand they have to make money but its pretty annoying.
Too many ads after each level. Like we get they have to make their money..but you get an ad after each levels the levels happen quickly.
