Community Insight:
What a great, relaxing, fun game especially after trying to get thru the frustration of Candy Crush! Love the music too! Great matching game. Been playing for years. It's our go to game to pass time. You Gotta get this game! And NO ads ever.
Update: this is still our go-to matching game. It is the only one we have not deleted. While we dont anticipate any more updates, we still hope. Our mom wanted us to find a matching app that doesn't require crazy-different goals for every level, or cheesy unnecessary storylines, or gives you "lives" where you have to spend money or spam your friends to get more. We found this game and it is great! The levels are challenging, but with straightforward goals: eliminate the colored squares. You earn "stars" when beating a level – this is currency to "buy" power-ups to beat tough levels. You can spend $$, but it's really not required. The only limitation in play time is the length of your battery! And no spamming our friends just to play! It's an all-around winner. We eagerly await new levels and new challenfes.
We love the variety of challenges in this game. We also love that there is unlimited play – we don't have to wait for more plays.
We find this game really relaxing. We love the music and rain sounds. Our only complaint would be the pop up ads.
Addicting but some levels are way too difficult without boosters.
There are times you want to through your iPad in the River because of this game. But, there are also times you get a satisfied smile by completing another level.
Game is awesome. Very challenging. Great game.
A very fun and relaxing game, even just replaying the same level over and over doesn't even get old. We play this to unwind every night before bed. :).
Great fun match 3 game. Every level different. We love it.
We have played this game for over a year and can't see one thing wrong with it. It is so relaxing when we just a few minutes to chill. The music is also relaxing but we turn it off when it becomes too repetitive. If you don't want to spend money on it just keep playing and you will eventually beat each level.
We love everything about this game. The music is awesome, the sound of the rain is relaxing. We read someone's complaint about the music playing over and over, but we like it and it doesn't bother us. We guess a few different choices of music would be okay for people such as that one, but we're cool with it like it is. It's just a really great game and definitely worth your time to try it.
We've been patient (and that's not our thing), so please give us an update. It's not natural for us to go this long without playing! We're so happy to be able to play again! If you love match games, this takes it to another level. We're tired of the games that end after 5 moves and have no depth. You must be skillful to win big! That's what makes it fun! If you don't try this game…big mistake! It's fun and never boring. It is relaxing but it can be fun watching the leaderboards too…just do it.
We love this game! It's fun and relaxing.
We have been playing this game for a long time. It is easy but challenging. It is worth trying this one out. Still trying to beat this level.
Love it!! Once you start, you won't stop.
Love this app! We need more levels. Have been going back and mastering all the ones we "cheated" on. Need more.
We love this game. Played all 3 levels and now are repeating them trying to use no power ups. Very addictive and a pleasant time killer.
It's addictive and just challenging enough to keep you going.
We love the game. Cute graphics.
We love this game because it is both challenging and relaxing. It is completely stress free. Woo-hoo.
What a great, relaxing, fun game especially after trying to get thru the frustration of Candy Crush! Love the music too! Finally deleted Candy Crush. Great matching game. Been playing for years. It's our go to game to pass time. You Gotta get this game.
Its relaxing. It would be nice to have some different tunes so the same one doesnt drive you crazy. Be careful how many stars you use for power ups, if you run out if stars they make you pay to get more. Theyre a bit tricky-its hard to earn stars later in the game.
Love the gentle rainfall while playing match game for as long as we want. Highly recommend this game.
Good mindless fun… Rain sound is nice touch.
This is a simple game and fun to play.
Not a bad match game!! Rate it a 4.
This game is fun and relaxing when we are stressed.
Great game to play while waiting in line or at an appointment. Easy to play with ok graphics.
Very relaxing. A really good way to help with stress.
Game is fun to play but if you don't buy power ups you can really get stuck. Your kinda forced to spend money on in app purchases.
Fun game, we're stuck on a level which is frustrating but that's what makes it fun and entertaining. We love not having to wait a certain amount of time to "charge up" lives.
We just downloaded this app. The first few puzzles are good. Unfortunately, the "rain" visual in the background drove us nuts. We would prefer to have the puzzle fill the screen (or be full screen height, if not width) than have a large blank space around it with little white lines falling. We liked that the rain soundtrack could be turned on or off; couldn't the same be done with the rain visual.
Nice game. Very relaxing. We wish they it had a variety of relaxing music instead of the same thing repeated over and over. It is also frustrating to be required to spend money for boosts in order to get to the next level because they make some levels so difficult that it's almost impossible to beat without boosts. Not everyone has that kind of money to spend. Otherwise a decent game.
Love to play and beat each board.
It is tough when one doesn't know what each barriers mean and how to eliminate them without a quick summary. No idea how to win a round- cleared the board, but the frowning faces are preventing us to continue? No help button to explain their role.
Since update we have not been able to use any of the bonuses … We really like this game but can't play it now because we can't use the bonuses PLEASE FIX we'd give this 5 stars if the bonuses weren't lost when the update happened. We can see the bonuses when matching 4 or more but we can't click on them :(.
We play this game a lot. Other than the need to change the way you can play the tiles, it's amazing.
Fun. Wish there were more instructions, but this game keeps our hands busy for hours. Like the sound effects.
Enjoyable game without any timers which is really nice when you have a million distractions going on. Higher levels can be challenging. We like the fact that you can go back to the easier levels to build up your star supply so you can get extra turns on the harder levels.
ALOT of fun, and we love the fact that the only way to spend money isn't important to us, earn those stars people.
What a great relaxing game. The best part is …we don't have to wait for others to take their turn.
We usually hate games, but this one is our favorite! It's the best.
It's very fun but extremely challenging on certain levels. Definitely would keep one entertained for hours.
Game that has perfect balance of easy yet challenging. Perfect for all ages.
We have been playing this game for a long time. It is very relaxing even though it is hard to pass a level.
We really like the game!!! You know somehow it keeps us happy because of all the smiley faces and stuff. Although some of them tick us off because its too hard it's still really fun to try and get through it.
Great way to kill time at work.
This is a great way to unwind for the evening especially when you want to forget the day. Peaceful music, don't need that white noise machine:).
Fun way to pass the time. Not as easy as you might think.
