QBeez – Entertainment Game Review
QBeez is a Entertainment/Puzzle/Casual game from Skunk Studios, Inc., first launched in 24th November 2008.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 49+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes QBeez Stand Out
QBeez are back and Remixed for fun!
Red together, blue together, green together… QBeez just love to clear together!
Description
QBeez, the puzzle game with personality, has returned fully revamped and remixed.
Match groups of two or more colored QBeez on your way to making a perfect clear.
• Rotate your device, they drop and turn.
• Shake your device to shuffle the board!
• Swipe left and right to slide the QBeez side to side.
• Swipe up and the whole board flips.
Don't leave any Singlez, or face the heart-wrenching cries when these adorable little cubes are left without a match. QBeez reminds us all that it is hip to be square!
Major changes in this update.
• Uses Unity Ads and offers In-App Purchasing for consumable items
• Large QBeez that are twice the size of regular QBeez
• Previous version repeated the same 10 levels and never used more than 5 colors. The new version has over 200 unique levels with up to six colors with more levels and unique QBee types coming soon.
• Shuffles are now a limited resource. Fans of classic QBeez will recall that they were not always unlimited. This release is bringing that back. We’ve added an option to earn more shuffles along the way.
• Boomz are a new power item for QBeez mobile. You’re gonna need them to remove any Single QBeez you leave behind.
• Single QBeez (or Singlez) cannot be left behind or you will cannot beat a level with a Perfect Clear.
• Perfect Clears are now the only way to continue. In the past crying QBeez without a match could be left behind while the game kept on going. Turns out, they didn’t like that at all. Now leaving singles behind will cost you a Heart.
• Heartz. QBeez is all about the Heartz now. If you lose a level you will also lose a Heart. Lose all of your Heartz and it’s game over. We’ve added the option to earn more Heartz when you do.
• To balance it all out we’ve added a brand new control: Swiping. Swipe Left, Right and Up for control over the grid like never before. Re-order QBeez into massive groups or just get a handful together.
Features
• Swipe Left and Right to slide the QBeez around.
• Swipe Up to flip the entire board.
• Rotate your device to change the direction QBeez fall.
• 4 Modes: Timed, Points, Moves and the Casual. All with one goal: Clear the Board.
• 8 different board sizes
• 15 unique QBeez characters, including Chickenz!
• Dynamic layouts for every play through keeps the game fresh and compelling
• Engaging sounds, voice and music tracks
• Gamecenter Leaderboard
• Shake to remix the board when you are out of moves or just feeling lucky.
and…
• Introducing… Boomz!!! Use these to clear out any Single QBeez you might leave behind. Or you can use them to remove an entire color from the level at any time.

Community Insight:
Can yall at least update the app to have it be compatible with todays ios please this game is goated im lowk addicted.
We dont know if you guys have ever thought about it, but we would love a new gutterball game!! We love gutterball so much. We spent countless hours with our grandpa bowling 300s in gutterball 2. We love it and Im sad to see that for a few years now it hasnt been touched. We are not sure what you guys are up to but if you could, PLEASE! PLEASE! Update golden pin or make a new game we miss it so much and just wish the franchise could be bigger. We have hope for this game to continue and be widespread and popular. Please Skunk Studios, revive gutterball… And if you sadly have decided to put gutterball behind you, we thank you for all the great times and memories you guys gave us with our grandpa. Great company, great games. Much love.
This game is a great game to play anytime. We've really enjoyed being able to whip out this app and have fun every time we do it. Pretty addicting… But very fun.
We have been looking for this game for a long time! So glad we found it! Could be a huge hit with a few updates! Please keep it updated and going.
Love the QBeez when we played on the PC like many other people. This version is a good start. There are some things to make it even better 1. Social connections 2. PvP mode, game board mode vs the daily how far can you get 3. Daily login reward, and/or milestone prizes 4. Ingame support 5. Additional game info ( when you clear the max qbeez at once there used to be a clapping we think now its an echo) 6. Fix the rankings-its not working when we press on it.
We loved this game on the PC and wondered why it was not an app. This is a fun translation, but we would rather spend a few bucks and not have the game FORCE us to watch a stupid ad in order to finish a level. And come on, when you shuffle and you end up with the same ordering of blocks? That takes away the fun. Also, there is a bug. After you watch an ad then come back to shuffle, the game doesn't recognize that you are pressing on the blocks. Fix the bug and release a paid version and we'll increase our rating to 5 stars.
QBeez 2 back in the day was one of our all time favorite PC games! It's great there's now this mobile version that's almost as great! We'd give it a 5 star review, however it's lacking some features compared to the old original game. Missing from this port are the crazy power ups, other QBeez that switched up gameplay, other game modes, and the level editor! It'd be nice to see some of that stuff back, but regardless of that, this is still a really fun game that we'd reccomend.
We love the computer game and we spent so long trying to remember how the game title was spelled and found this. We do love it but we miss the shaking before they disappear and the yellow together every time you clicked on the block grouping. Please make an app more similar to the original game. Youd make us so happy.
We liked the original better. Cant we have a choice.
Of course, we loved this game. QBeez was part of our childhood and everything was great. The mobile app was great too. Though after when the update became this, we still enjoyed it, but it doesn't give us much enjoyment. We got stuck in a level. We missed it back when it was just randomly made. We still wish more QBeez games were still made.
Screen locks up after watching promo to earn shuffles. Have to close game and reopen. Audio is cute.
We really like this game. However, we do not like that you buy booms and your game ends when you have 9 left and you lose them after you paid 1.06. That should carry over.
Used to be a great game. Now its just a cash cow. Zero options to play without draining your wallet.
We see many of the same comments about this version vs the old PC version which was just plain fun. The ads are ridiculous. We downloaded it 1 day ago and am about to give up on it already. At least the music and QBeez sounds are the same but thats not enough.Youve made a bad game. Even for those of us without the nostalgia of the past, we dont think people are going to like this for long. Yes we would be willing to pay some amount of $$ for a no-ad version, but not much.
We have always loved this game and we recently started playing again…unfortunately there are so many glitches now! And you cant contact anyone for app support. We cant rotate for the board to move. And if we watch an ad for more shuffles, we have to start the level over because it freezes. Garbage.
Havent played this in years. Decided to give it another go. Its completely screwed. Just another ad-filled money grab. Avoid.
This new version is not as fun. We cant see our previous scores and cant quit if we want to restart. Beating our highest score was the motivation to keep playing. Without that, there is no reason to play at all.
Because we have not used an iPhone for several years it has been a while since we have played QBeez, which used to be our favorite game. The game with that name that is available now is really different from the game that we loved. It is now just a series of opportunities to show a video or cause payment in order to continue playing. Skunk house you have ruined your game! We rated it one star and that is a reluctantly awarded star.
The original Qbeez was one of our favorite games. It had great game mechanics simple clean design and unique sounds. Now it is just another nickel and dime, in app money grab. Just uninstalled.
Just like another reviewer said… We were playing the game and then forced to watch an ad… Got back to the game & couldnt finish the level!! Tapped the screen a zillion times on 2 yellow QBeez but nothing happened. Theres a bug in this game which makes it unplayable. Would be fun but fix the bugs.
Do we just updated the game, now all we get is the purple screen with the skunk on it for like 10 seconds then it pops over to an orange screen with a terribly pixilated graphic in the upper right hand corner which you cannot read clearly but can only assume it says QBEEZ Remixed. And then the screen goes black and sends you back to your phone screen. Bugger. Wish we could go back to the old version.
We have been playing QBeez since 2006, and that was when it could only be played on the computer! As soon as it was out for the iPhone and iPad, it was an immediate download for us. This game is so fun and addicting! You get so into wanting to clear the board and not leave any QBeez behind. The music and the chatter from the QBeez themselves is really fun! We love that this game is still around, and doesn't seem to be going anywhere any time soon. Our number one go-to game on our iPhone FOR SURE.
Qbeez has always one of our favorite games! We recently updated to the latest version (2.2.2) and can't stop playing. It's not one of those game apps that take forever to load. Within seconds of opening the app you're already playing. The object of the game is so simple it's fun no matter what age you are. As you level up, the levels get harder and harder so you have to be more strategic! Definitely a must have game to have on your phone/pc.
What a fun game! It's easy to pick up and put down but never ceases to entertain. It's a change that you have to clear all the qbeez to level up but we realize we could play better when we don't. Poor little guys cry when you leave them. The infinite shuffle was cool and now you get a few and watch an ad or pay for more. We sent an email and they said they were gonna update it, and they did. We love this game and am trying to see how far we can go! Oh, they said a daily 5 or 10 level mode was coming soon as well as new character we can earn. Hurry up.
Great game, and definitely revamped. Love the graphics, and gameplay. Kind of addicting once you start playing, but not a problem for our 2 hr commute to and from work on the train. Keep it up.
Please fix the crashing problem.
We love the bright colors and fun graphics. This game is really fun to play because its not too easy and its not too hard. We would definitely recommend.
Awesome game mechanics and seemingly endless gameplay. We're hooked.
We 'd the old version even though they never updated it. One of our favorite games. Now we're deleting it. Graphics look like a elementary student could create. So sad. The only reason we're giving it two is for nostalgia love of the old game. We wish we could revert back.
We have been playing this game for years on the PC and when we found it on the App Store we were super excited, it hadn't had an update in quite a while but was still an awesome game that at the time we paid $.99 for and was worth every penny. Then along came the new update and in app purchases. Now they are trying to basically charge us for a game that we already bought. We are extremely disappointed and what used to be a game that we thoroughly loved and recommended wholeheartedly to our friends, we now have to unfortunately say stay away from this company that in our opinion has an ethical business practices. We're truly sorry that one of our favorite games is now basically gone.
We've been waiting for these guys to release this game for the iPhone. They said they had been working on it and it's finally here! This is the best way to play this game. Even better than the PC version. Rotate the phone to rotate the board, shake it to shuffle it and flip it to turn it upside down. We use this on the train, bus and other places. This is a game that the iphone was made for! Not like those other games or apps. Thank you Skunk Studios!!! You've made us and our commute a happy one.
Thanks for updating the app and making it more fresh.
Update 9/2016: The game devs have updated the look and feel of QBeez while successfully maintaining everything that we love about the gameplay. The September 2016 update only makes us wish we could add another star to our rating to make it 6! Original Review: we were just thinking how much we missed playing this game and wishing there was a Touch version. We love Qbeez!! It's so easy to figure out, but you'll truly need some skillz if you wanna be any good at it. Keep 'em together.
We first played QBeez on the PC. It was great. Then it was available for the iPhone and the good times continued. But over time the iPhone was updated but the game was not. NOW, this update not only fixes the bugs but offered a whole new way to play. It does have in-app purchase, but so far they have not detracted from the gameplay.
This game is finally updated after almost five years, but the most significant change is that there are now ADS! Sad.
We have paid for the .99 shuffle three times and it still doesn't give us what we paid for. We want a refund or at least what we paid for.
We were so excited this morning when we saw QBeez had been upgraded after all these years…. Then we played it… Now they only let you shuffle AFTER you pay $1 for 10 shuffles. And what's worse–they don't say "in-app purchases" on the App Store. Very deceiving! What stinks is there's now no way to get the old app back that doesn't try to keep charging you for things you used to do for free.
This great little game is awesome!!! If you like games like bejeweled you will love this little simple game solving puzzler. Its simple and easy to play with lots of great hours of fun!!!!! One of our top 10 all time favorites. You need to play it.
Nice graphics, catchy audio, challenging puzzle. We love this app. Haven't had any problems.
We used to play on pc before smartphones were invented! Give us an iPad version.
We have played this game for like 10 years. So excited to see iPhone version! Love it love it.
Played this on the PC when we were little and we simply LOVED it!!! Great game to have on the go!!!!! 5 star rating!! :).
We first played Qbeez when we were little with our mom on the PC, and on the new PC! We became really good at this game! When we found it on the AppStore we bought it right away and started playing it!! It's soooo much fun to play! We love the achievements and how u can flip the phone and shake it! We like the classic version. But, we have a suggestion where r the bombs and the bull and the clown and the sharks! U should put them in again. They're really fun! We love this game! But please put in the bombs and all the other power ups!!! If u can't do it we'll still give it 5 stars!! It's a lot different than the PC version! This game is awesome, it's great for all ages even adults.
We keep saying "Qbeez!" randomly in our head now. Great game, we love the rotating feature.
We love it it is very cute and interesting puzzle game we love it also cuz its like the blockz interact with u =).
Diff. Then any games like this we've seen. Like when your challenged w/ the highest of blocks. Don't care how constantly being asked if u want to post your score or skip. Once is enough! { after hitting skip won't let u back into playing your game }.
Is the worlds best destro the block game it is a must have we had it on our computer and nearly beat it but then we got a virus from some other game and all our data and the game got delited with everything on our computer.
We're not sure what some of the reviewers are referring to with this game. We love it; reminds us of the pc version. It has shuffles and the turn ability just like the pc. If you don't like the open whatever it's called, don't click on it. It gives the option.
Fix the open feint issues like the game over/post your score screen as well as the one that's driving us crazy like why our high scores aren't posting. We hit first place for daily and weekly all the time but it just always says "not ranked".
We used to play this a lot on the Mac, Power PC version. Love this game. We just found out there's a version for the iPhone. It's already installed it a few minutes earlier. Please update the game for the Mac so it can run on Intel CPU.
