Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
So many less ads which makes this game so much more enjoyable. There are challenges and relaxing games. So far so good. We would recommend this game.
This game is relaxing and FUN! Also gets your mind motivated at the same time. The different modes that you play with Tap Tiles are creative! Im so glad we tried out this game on a whim, because now we are totally addicted. Some puzzles are timed, some not up to you on the ones you want to play. Thats why we like this game so much. If youre reading this review before you try the game we highly recommend you give this block puzzle game a go!! :-).
Im surprised there arent more recent reviews, too! This is a great block game. There are different modes to choose from, daily challenges in which you can choose different modes there too. There are ads, but not too many(and hey the game is free). If you like block games, you have to get this game.
Why arent there more recent reviews? People,! You are missing out on a unique block puzzle game that has daily puzzles of challenges that change every day of the month which include Tap tower ( clear all blocks b4 all reach the top & Tap turbine clear 7 puzzles in 3 mins, theres Slide match clear 10 puzzles in 4 min. & Color match different solid colors of cubes ( no symbols on this one) PLUS a separate group that has 4 categories , ORIGINS, DASH,RELAXATION,& DAILY PUZZLES. Its not a Mah-Jong-game like it states. In the ORIGINS GAME there are different rooms to go in to under names : Chrome, Flow, Terra,Aurora, Foundation, & Passage. So many different games to play on one game. Each timed with surprise blocks you can tap to give you more time before timer runs out. Its simply amazing. Just the use of a finger, no controls & not made for 4 yr old age groups. Its for teens to adults. The game maker put a lot of thought into this gem of a game & we wish more people looking for challenge, speed or slow hard or easy or expert levels would just try itWhat cld be better than this.
We played this game on our laptop years ago and loved it so much that we bought our first touch screen computer to give us faster play. Then life came along as it does and we didnt okay games much. But in our old age, we remembered that game, and kept looking for it, and looking for it, finally, finding it in an old computer. Now its in all our computers and all our phones we do love this game.
We only had issue with commercials during the timed play with our first review. IDK what happened but that quit happening and Im happy.
We play the daily puzzles every day. However, the game resets just short of reaching the end. Does it ever reach the end? If not we will stop stressing and start enjoying this great game.
We love this game.play the daily and the other games as well. Just the last week or so, if you dont finish in time you have to start over. We liked being able to get more time after watching a video. Please change it!! Thanks.
How can we buy the game to get rid of the ads. If we remember right, several years ago the game was available for $15 a year. Is that option still available? Some days we skip the game because we cant tolerate dealing with the ads. Please help. Thank you.
When ads are used for extra time in the daily challenge, the screen locks up. This started about two weeks ago. We have to close the game and restart the app.
Game is fun and fast paced. Ads are not too excessive. Our only complaint is according to the game play tips section you are supposed to be able to shuffle the board once per puzzle in Origin mode. However our screen has NO SHUFFLE BUTTON! We cannot beat several of the terra subsection of origins in part we think because of this. EDIT: Developer responded quickly to our review, saying they are working on fixing the issue. Will update again when that happens. (which we hope is soon cause we really want to be the Terra section!).
We really like this game. Ive been playing it for years, even before there was an iPhone, much less an iPad. We played on our laptop with a mouse, LoL, that was a bit difficult but we really enjoy this game! However, here lately, ads pop up in the middle of a timed run & we dont think thats fair. Sure, those pop ups can be Xd out of quickly, but that has made the difference in our ability to score higher & to finish within the allotted time. Not to mention the distraction it makes to our pace to play the game quickly. Please fix this glitch! Thanks.
A few weeks ago a notice appeared on our screen when we went into this game about something new and the only way to get past the screen was to accept. Now instead of 6 daily puzzles, we get only 5. Not only that, but Im now having to wait through way too many ads. This is such a disappointment. We no longer enjoy this game.
Ugh! With the new update there are ads everywhere! The ads at the top of the screen are very distracting! Please we would love to buy this to take away the ads. Its a good game, but the ads are going to drive us away.
This is a great game, very responsive, but need a version without ads.
We were able to buy premium and play without ads. Looks like this is no longer possible. Super sad.
We started playing this game about three weeks ago and we really love it. The only downfall is that the game keeps freezing and so do the ads. We have to uninstall it and reinstall it to play. Its disappointing. It also does it on our phone and Ive used our best friends, phone and iPad does the same thing on hers so it cant be our devices.
Or at least we cant find one. We get tense when timed we want to relax when playing so it goes on and on. Otherwise its a great game.
Simple, good game with WAY too many looong ads to be any fun.
This set of games is so great, partly because the games are many and varied. That said it is increasingly infested with intrusive, highly annoying games. Plus…what the hecks the deal with the super sensitive bottom-of-the-screen reset that instantly and continuously interrupts play and requires players to renew play incessantly? We wish there were a version to which we could subscribe! But as there isnt, we are uninstalling this app.
The new update that keeps giving you 30 seconds for watching a 30 second video has ruined the game. Theres no challenge left.
Well we did like this game but now its not working on our phone!!! Why do yall keep doing this to us???? We cant help we cant afford a better phone. Please allow us to play this on our iphone6.
Toooooo many ads make no fun. Let it be purchased.
Went from one of the best game apps to the worst. The game is all about speed, and the format has changed such that an ad runs on your screen through the entire game. It is so distracting it makes it impossible to concentrate. Would have given it 5 stars a year ago, now it gets one. For shame, for shame.
This is the best mahjong app game of all time. Well done.
Love this game. You must have done an update and when you are playing and finish all levels it no longer give you an abundance of coins. Since the update with the ads, Please fix it.
We do the dailiesalways the most difficult version first, then the easier versions sometimes with our non dominant hand to maintain the challenge. We especially appreciate that the entire month continues to be available so that we can keep trying for full completion.
Took us forever to finally find this game. Ive grown up playing this and and we love ittt.
Great for maintaining or improving hand and eye coordination. Our 4 year old can beat us at the game.
Fun for just relaxing or a challenge.
This game is truly addictive! Lots of fun.
Time consuming, good relaxing time playing.
One of our top 3 favorite games for AppStore!!! Keep up the awesome work, developers.
Have just started playing and love all the different options and boards.
Love games that give us a challenge.
Ive been playing for years on another tablet. Now we have an iPad and the game has ads. Yes, the ad box is small but its still annoying to us. Please create an ad free version, we will gladly pay for it.
Puzzl s are good at challenging the player.
Some reason this game came off the Microsoft store so we cant play it on our laptop. We love playing it on a big touchscreen!! This will have to do in the meantime. Please fix it soon Im dying.
Im elderly and we dont want to be timed! And we need an option that limits the number of tiles and can make the tiles larger. This was supposed to be relaxation , we just want to keep our mind working and our eye/hand coordination.
Some of the levels are impossible to clear in the amount of time provided which forces the user to watch inappropriate video advertisements. All ages play this game so the ads should be kid friendly and avoid violent ads.
The variations are amazing! Itll take a while to get bored with this group/variety of puzzles! Thanks Arkadium.
Best match game in our collection. Great visual effects and sounds. Easy to play and you can play more challenging levels if you want to.
Unique and fun to play. The best.
Please add more levels on Origins! We play this game over and over again, just wish it had more levels.
We love this game but it keeps crashing. Very frustrating.
Love this game. It is addicting.
We use the game as a great way to relax and unwind.
We love playing this game. It exercises our mind and is fun.
We absolutely love this game. It keeps us coming back for more. Im still new to the game so Im still learning. Love this.
Im not one for reviews usually. But we will gladly give a five star plus to Taptiles..If we want a challenge there are many timed puzzles. The nice thing is the relaxation mode. We play that often. Timed is good, but some days you just want to get away from all that stress. With Taptiles you can have the best of both worlds. Try it and see for yourself.
