Community Insight:
This has always been our go-to game, so fun. Please add more levels! We were so surprised to find no more levels after 935. We keep checking back to see, and playing the daily and weekly challenges, but we would love to have some new levels.
We play all 3 series; MonsterBusters, Link Flash & Hexa Blast and we really enjoy playing all three but they have just one flaw, they do not reward with any power ups/boosters. If only they would give several opportunities to earn power ups or boosters then this series would be perfect.
We lve the game but yall needs to fix the glitches meaning y the game keeps stopping.
We cant open this app Ive been playing it for quite some time now Please fix.
Perfect games but it looks like we lost all our levels , coins etc why.
Playing this game everyday! So relaxing.
Ive been playing this game for Years, our favorite ever. Ive finished it twice and spent lots of $$ to support it. In the last several months Ive had nothing but trouble. Trouble logging in and Ive lost all our game friends. Im unable to add new friends due to constant errors, Param filters must be array. In order to access the game we have to click at least 3 additional screens before the game opens. Ive had to start over 3 times, losing status, tokens and friends,trying to fix the issue. Ive reported the issue twice with no response. We want to play we want to spend our money we want friends whats the deal.
The five stars is a great and relaxing game. We have being playing this game some years and it can be challenging at times. But for the part we are the winner because we wont let this game beat us. We love engaging this game.
Ive been enjoying this game for years and still do! Usually around Thanksgiving you add a turkey to the opening screen and if you catch him you get extra coins. Also now in December you usually add a reindeer to click on and also Santa Claus to win coins as well. Where are they this year? Theyre so cute and festive. We miss them. Please bring them back! Thank you from a loyal player of all your games.
We enjoy the new concept. It makes the game more fun.
Pleeeeease?!! This is our very favorite match three game; we play it daily. However, Ive reached the very top of the tower – no more levels. Please, may we have some more levels? Thank you.
Great game and no in app purchases.
All of their games are fun and work well! They are all a little different from each other.
How come we don't get all the coins we're supposed to get. Like tonight we were to get a bonus of 3000 coins and we didnt get any and this is the third time in a row.
This is is fun from the start. A little slow but we're sure it will pick up faster as the introduction is done.
Im in the high 600s and theres just NO WAY to pass a level. 50+ times to pass a level, is outrageous. Try Monster Busters Hexa Blast or the original Monster Busters, THEY'RE SO MUCH BETTER! The creator of this one must be an absolute MORON! He put the wolf whistle on there as a penalty when you lose a life. He should know better. That a slur to women everywhere and disgusting, not to mention sexist. Im thinking LAWSUIT.
We really love all the Monster Busters games, however, Link Flash is by far superior to the others. If the developers read these reviews, we hope they take note: Link Flash is superior in its UX abilities because you have more freedom with the board in being able to create weapons. All the other MB games have become rather unenjoyable as the game has progressed it seems the levels are just getting challenging and losing the element of enjoyment. However, Link Flash is always both challenging AND enjoyable and thats what makes a good game. The only bummer is that the makers only update the games with new levels like once a month and its only a few levels so we beat them in one day and then have to wait a whole month for new levels. This will hurt the developers in the end as we have lost interest waiting and downloaded new games. If you guys need to put all your efforts into one game, we would definitely vote for Link Flash. We would also recommend updating with even more new levels each month. They dont all have to be crazy thought out new challenges, the players just like to play the game, even if it is a simple colored teeth/pots level or a repeat layout of a level in the past.
Do you Link Flash, this is such a fun game and we love playing it thanks for coming up with the idea because without you we wouldve never found this game and its super fun. From Emma Gay.
Enjoy the variation on match 3 but the companys continued use of ad services that override the users sound settings and no response to inquiries take this from 4 stars to 1.
Sorry to put this on reviews but Ive never had a problem with any of your games until we upgraded our phone and it just keeps acting like we have the icon on our screen ? Please delete our question that doesnt belong here and reviews but since we cant open the app we cant contact you from our iPhone where its missing ? We got a new iPhone when we upgraded and for some reason its saying that we have a Link Flash but its not showing up on any our pages we got to keep going to the App Store clicking open we cant even deleted to re-download it what do we do? When using our iPhone or our iPad we bought unlimited games for 299 it said just for you and never got unlimited lives to keep saying the regular five lives.
Fun game but frustrating at times. Even with updates it crashes.
Fun & challenging on every level.
Not happy the update lost all of our progress in the game:( we were way far in the game.
We love this game and all the other Monster Buster games. We would love to restart the game from level 1. But no matter what we do we cannot get the game to start new. It always starts where we left off. We tried deleting the game and reinstalling. Checked iCloud storage and as far as we can tell, there is no data there except our photos.
We love it. Cant stop playing it. Im playing till we cant see straight.
Just downloaded this game and it is very fun and different from our other games. Will give it a try and let yall know.
This game is totally addictive…. Five stars all the way.
This game is so fun, you never want to stop playing. Keep up the good work with making more of these wonderful games.
Like all the other Monster Busters iterations, this is so much fun to play! Lately, however, Link Flash crashes on iOS. Please fix it! It's the only Monster Busters game that does this.
We've been playing this game for a long time now. We just wish they would update it more regularly because we're always having to wait for new episodes.
We love this game and don't mind paying for unlimited lives. BUT it really bothers us when we do pay and then find that we have to wait for new levels. It's been about 12 days that our money has been wasted this way. And now you have a new game so are you not even working on the others? Anyway we paid for 30 days, have used maybe 6 and am feeling really ripped off. It won't happen again.
We love this game. Lots of levels and fun.
What kind of joke is this?!?! An update on Jan. 5th says you added stages 671-700? Those have already been available? Really? What a joke.
Our husband hates his game because we play it constantly. Beware. It will take over your life.
The new levels are now impossibly difficult without spending $$$ to extend play time or get bonuses. This was an awesome game until the huge increase in difficulty. Time to move on to another game unfortunately.
This game from the beginning has been (is!) SO MUCH FUN!! For us the only downside is that we want to play and play and play it. Oh well… Now we love it even more. Got into the game this week and was amazed to find we had been given 7 days worth of infinite lives for our birthday. How cool is that.
We love the music and the game play. It's an amazing game.
Love this game as much as, if not more, than its two older siblings. We're updating the app regularly but not getting the new levels that updates state they include.
Super fun to make long chains to free captive gingerbread men.
The monster busters are at it a new and innovative twist on match 3. Has all our favorite monsters and puzzles. Our only wish for these games was a endless mode, or a path where the puzzles aren't 6 varieties of impossible.
Today, June 6,2016 is the third Monday in a row where we have completed the Weekly Challenge. We completed all three munera but did not receive the rewards. A message came up that we didn't complete them but we did. We were counting on the rewards to help us thru the coming levels. What's going on? Can you fix this please? The same thing happened Hexa Blast.
We love this game, and the funny thing about it is when we go back to the other games we get frustrated because we can't link them, we got our mom hooked too.
This is a great new addition to the Monsters Busters family! We love the new twist on match 3 play as well as the new Asian theme and characters. Gameplay is just as smooth as the other two games, and the extra lives beyond the normal five makes this game (and the other two) a cut above many other match 3's out there. We also like that you don't have to spend a dime if you don't want to. Size of "monsters" is perfect on an ipad but can be a little difficult on iphone without a stylus. Overall just an awesome game.
We freeking LOVE this game. We're a real fan of both Monster Busters. This one ROCKS. As for spending a lot of money on this game—-no way unless your an idiot. We play lots of other games and we have NEVER spent a dime on any of them. Go ahead and download it you will be hooked. Great game.
We have extremely small delicate hands and even with that its very difficult to play this because it requires being able to see where your finger tracks. Maybe using a stylus or playing on an iPad would help but on an iPhone it's no fun. Gave it two stars for concept. Characters and screen though are much smaller than their other games and that ruins the fun of playing.
This definitely NOT going to get game of the year for 2016! You need to go back to the basics with this one. The rest of the MB games are fun & relaxing & challenging! But this game, NOT SO! It takes way too much $$$$$! When internet reviews/blogs say "you HAVE to use boosters on every level". We're not made of money. So be fore-warned unless you have hundreds of $ to throw away, don't waste your time.
