Gobstoppers! – Board Game Review
Gobstoppers! is a Board/Puzzle game from Sarah Pierce, first launched in 19th September 2012.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 74+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Gobstoppers! Stand Out
Gobstoppers is an addictive matching puzzle game! There are three fun versions:
In Classic mode, match three or more shapes to remove them from the board. Longer paths get your more points, and if you clear the board you will double your points!
In Multi mode, you can match by color OR by shape. Looking for two different types of matches is a great workout for your brain, and trying to find the longest path can be a real challenge!
In Maze mode, there is a single chain that uses all the shapes. Find it to win!
Each mode comes in two levels. The first level is free, and a harder paid level is available to give advanced players an extra challenge. Game Center leaderboards let you compete against your friends or the world.
This Board game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We like the designers graphics and colors a fun and easy one touch game. We like that we have a choice to play 3 games.
Family member told us about this game. We really like it. Play it over other games we have on our phone.
We like this game and shared it with someone else and they like it.
We love this game. You can get lost playing it.
Awesome game. Great brain teaser.
And it isn't boring either. Definitely a challenge every time.
We only play at first level. Enjoy unwinding with the game.
This a great , fun addicting app ! We enjoy trying to beat how long our train is.
This is a lot of fun! Probably better on the iPad than iPhone because of its size but really cool game.
Enjoyable and challenging. Have you thought of including the suggested solution(if there is one) once the player has cleared the puzzle.
Sometimes it's not as easy as you might think to clear the board but it's a good way to spend your time.
Update: Stopped working after last iphone update. Deleted and reloaded – works now. Fun to play and waste time. Everything good with one exception: On the multi game why does the game immediately end at the last no more moves? Why cant the game stop and say game over and stay on the screen to at least let us use the Undo to see our choice or change it.
We just got hooked on this while taking a break from our usual addiction to the author's Killer Sudoku. We love it but don't play as much as we would since it mutes our own music. An update would be awesome.
It's engaging and fun because its not mindless. Way more interesting than most of those "eliminate strings of three or more" games. Give this one a go.
Our 5 year old grandson and we played this for hours. We both loved it.
We have really enjoyed this game it is awesome.
Terrific game. Highly addictive. Immensely entertaining. Must have.
It is addicting…As you keep trying different paths you can see better ones!!! Love it.
We've only downloaded this game a few hours ago and we have to tear ourselves away from it begrudgingly to drive and pick up Mum! Download this game because it'll NEVER GET BORING! We wanna play more, but then we'd never get anything else done! We really like playing his game and we can see ourselves playing it from sun- up to sun- down. It'll definitely come in handy on the looooong train rides, waiting at the dentist's office and right after we make our nephews breakfast in the morning. :) WARNING! Play when you have LOTS of time on your hand because you'll always want to squeeze in just one…more…ah(!)…Game.
Our go to game when we run out of lives in Candy Crush.
We really like this game. Not hard to learn, but we have to plan and think.
Gobstoppers is so much fun and really addicting. We like the multi mode the best.
This is a must have in your list.
Really fun yet challenging game! Addicted already.
Easy to play, very hard to Master so it keeps you from getting bored.
This game is easy but lots of fun.
Challenging and fun, only one thing to improve. Have a way to submit a score when you do well, but do not have access to the Internet.
We can't believe we found this on accident, it's free AND it rocks.
The multi mode is what makes this game different & challenging. Now that we got the hang of it, we can't stop.
Nice twist on a classic! Fun and addictive.
We chose this game because it was a freebie, thinking it would be another one of those "match three" games that required no thinking. This game is as easy but it has a twist to it which was a nice surprise! It's great for any age and you can just pick it up at any time and keep playing. (we like to play this while watching tv).
Not bad for a free game. Simple. Not super exciting. We like that you can combine colors and or shapes, that makes it a little more interesting.
Can't wait to beat our score. Very fun and definitely mind stimulating.
Good app.entertaining,but if you want to play hard level,you must purchase it.
Its good points are also its bad points — tough to quit!! You just know you'll do better the next time…then the next time…just one more time…this time is it…one more then we'll stop…aww, got to do just one more — you get the picture.
More addictive than you can imagine.
It can take time to plan out where things will fall to get to the fewest number, or the best, none.
Like except that can't listen to our music while playing. It fun to play but because can't listen to own music or audiobook don't play for too long.
Unfortunately it crashes frequently.
We downloaded this game not even 10 minutes ago and already it's crashed 4 times. Not very impressed.
Dont like the fact we cant listen to our music when im in game play, still fun and makes u think, and we load on iPad, lose our stuff from our phone.
We liked this game but it crashes constantly. You don't lose your place but it's annoying to have to keep loading. Deleting the app! Don't download it.
This app looked really neat. We thought it was going to be a great fun game but it took forever to load and most you gave to upgrade to get most of the features.
Please move the back and undo buttons!! We're tired of trying to push submit but end up pushing back or undo. How annoying!!! We'll just stop playing the game because we're tired of replaying the same game constant because of the setup of the buttons.
