Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
It would be awesome to have an untimed mode. Also, some of the challenge missions seem impossible. But overall a fun game.
We would like to play an untimed mode to kinda of just enjoy breaking blocks and the puzzle aspect. Little too stressful in its current state.
Although we dont have the app on our phone, we played this game on our iPad. Its very good. We wonder who likes this game.
Fun game that is very simple at heart but gets exciting when the timer runs low. We play this game at least 5 times a day. We recently went back to Apple and am so glad we get to play this game again.
We play often, easy to learn and get around. Upgrades make sense. Enjoy a lot-maybe too much.
Nothing to complain about. A lot of fun.
Good game. The time left in in each turn could possibly be better illustrated as a countdown in seconds rather than the bar at the top.
This game used to be so good. It was simple like Tetris. And then they gave it this terrible facelift, introduced all these quirky features, and added in app purchases. We miss the old pile…and we can't find it anywhere. Had so many hours in it but we couldn't play this version for more than two weeks. Now we're back searching for our sweet baby again. Sigh, times they are a changing we suppose.
This is a really fun game. It gets harder and harder each time. It will give you power ups but watch out, there are also bad power ups aswell.
Help! Mission 17 is way too hard! We would give it 5 stars.
It's a really fun and addicting game from what we've played, also.. We're first.
Idk we think this game is genius in the way it's played so simple to learn yet hard to pass.
The first day we downloaded it we were instantly hooked.
Very much a time waster of a challenge if that's what you're looking for and it seems we keep getting better . Kind hard to follow at first but the more you play the more you understand the rules and how it works .. Good.
We play this game a lot and it always is enjoyable! Very recommendable.
This game is highly addictive and a lot of fun. Rather challenging too. :).
We love this game! It's become very addicting! It keeps us on our toes with the time and it keeps us busy. It's our go to game when we have time to kill.
This is a very challenging game to play while passing the time. It's a lot of fun and you can tell the developers put in a lot of time.
Nice game with gradual increasing difficulty. Requests for money are less frequent than many other games, making it much more fun. Enjoy.
It's Legen… (wait for it) dary.
We think we downloaded this as App of the Week from somewhere – we did not go looking for it. Total accidental find. That being said, we find we are playing this game a LOT! And have been for about a month! Not tired of it yet. It is challenging, and we are not very good but it doesn't make us feel like we are bad at it. It is a great way to pass time. Sometimes we do great! We still am not sure we know all the rules but that doesn't stop us from enjoying this game. Give it a try.
We love playing pile but we wish there was a way to cruise through the lower levels. We are always bored until we get to level 11 or 12 and wish there was a way to start the game there. Like if you lose at level 15, you can restart at level 10 instead of trudging through.
We think it's a little irritating that you don't get time to think so you need to be really fast, it takes a while to understand and pass levels. Also it's a bit stressing and addictive.
Takes awhile to pass levels, but that could be because we're not that good! But over all keeps us busy when we're trying to kill time.
We wish "classic mode" was the original game before the update. The new version is more challenging but the old version had a better pace that was similar to tetris.
Really difficult but really addicting.
Slightly addicting, but kinda boring. It's the same thing over & over. We only give 2 stars because it's boring. We wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Since the new update, this game is no longer fun. It was sleek and easy to play. Now, you are just another game wanting us to spend money. We don't like the speed in which it plays and all the new power-ups and buttons just make it too confusing. We are no longer a fan.
This is a really fun game. It really gets you thinking about the puzzle and matching certain things up. Great mind-enhancer.
This game is FUN! A great way to waste a little time and flex your brain muscles.
We needed a new game, so we downloaded this out of Boredom. Now we are addicted and can not put it down.
Great game!!! Took us a long time to get to level 6, but we got there. Love the challenge.
It's a little fast bt we still think it's fun & slick addicting lol.
Very good if your reading this what are you doing download it already you idiot.
Fun + Challenging = One Incredible Game.
Interesting and enjoyable premise.
It's like tetris and bejeweled at the same time, if you like either of those games, download this! Very addicting.
We play it while we ride the subway. Great way to pass time.
We really love this game it reminds us of the good old Tetris days and is not some knock off that most games are.
It's Tetris with different colors and power ups. Look at it. 12/5.
Just like Tetris but with a twist that could be challenging.
It's super addicting and we just play and play. The only real critique on our end is that there should be better mission descriptions. There are some that we have own by accident and others that we don't fully know what's expected. Otherwise, this game is dope.
We think this game is great, though it does need a little more verity, it is a great game.
No idea what we're supposed to do. Add Kaatylaady on Game Center to help a sister out.
This is a very fun game that continuously challenges you.
We love this game but starting at about half way through level 4. The timer goes way too fast and then you don't have time to place the blocks in a way that you can win. Also it would be helpful if you could but things like the eraser in the middle of the game. Other than that great game.
This game is a lot of fun. It's simple and kills time and doesn't badger us to invite friends on Facebook. If it didn't want us to buy things periodically, we would give it 5 stars.
The twisted part about playing PILE is when we try to pull down a set of blocks and we accidentally bring down the wrong pair. The instructions for the game are not that clear- like the icons that appear while playing are not well described. We still don't understand why somebody would press the red icons that make the game unplayable.
Nice brain exercise. You have to make intelligent moves with a time limit. It is very challenging.
So well done! We're so glad we found this! The colors and images are perfect and everything! We love this OCD-satisfying game.
